Great stuff, thank you for the heads up.

Monkeyspoons Revenge · 02-07-2013, 10:47 AM

Looks like the front cover is lenticular.

Shanester · 02-07-2013, 10:47 AM

Nice colors.

Hopefully the actual film was better than the trailer with all that CGI

OneEye · 02-07-2013, 10:53 AM

I believe amazon will get some more stock but if we suddenly see Zaavi sell out then this will truly be the next holy grail.

UK buyers still wanting this should go to Sainsburys Entertainment who are much cheaper but only ship to the UK. However a word of warning they use the same crappy card pouch packaging as Zavvi.

Jdizzle · 02-12-2013, 10:36 AM

Took a punt on waiting for this to drop in price.....bad idea, I'm usually an early pre-orderer too. But ugh. But it'll go back up so no big deal.

Every other amazon I use: France, Germany etc use the steelbook packaging but for some reason, for me, I'm only getting cardboard sleeves from UK. And my jaws & last samurai had slash spines to.

I'm just hoping they use the steelbook packaging for this & skyfall as its going to be near impossible to get replacements.

Hopefully these announce soon if its going to have a lenticular cover.

I recently had 2 steels from amazon uk. Looper came in their steel packaging, Taken 2 in a crappy sleeve. Luckily no damage but it seems to be hit and miss. now that they have upped their steelbook quota maybe they've ran out of the special packaging?

Im hoping they get this sorted in time for Skyfall as there won't be any replacements!

I know right, it worries me every-time an online retailer announces a exclusive steel and if it did not show up in a mint condition... its quite annoying.

Glad i got my order in with Amazon the other day. Blind buy, really looking forward to watching the movie. So many movies i wanted to see theatrically in 2012, just didn't get time for this one. Heard great things about the 3D

I would always cancel and preorder again if that is an option. Don't trust them to update their prices.

I hate Zavvi... I hate Amazon to... Why was this sold out so fast?
Only available via Zavvi no... for 35 Euros... Damn, that's a lot of beer...
And other things...

If you live in the UK it is appreciably cheaper from Sainsburys but they don't ship overseas so not much use to you in The Netherlands.

Not amazons fault. I'd blame resellers for sucking up stock.

blurayisnice · 02-19-2013, 07:55 PM

How much was this on Amazon when it was listed?

Found it. 23.20 gbp.
That's 27 Euros. Zavvi charges 35.
I pay 27 Euros max, even if it is via Zavvi...
