Has anyone been charged yet?

Nothing here. My Fury Road shipped days ago, this has not moved.

I bought the older version a while ago even though I don't have a region B setup, I'm also hoping for something else sooner or later. I recently picked up the German release of Double Dragon, it should be here within the next few days.

And according to Zavvi, the steelbook is apparently now sold out.

So...what gives? This delay is almost as bad as the one for their stock of the Don't Breathe steelbook.

That's the norm with Disney Live action released Blus

It happens a few times with zavvi it's nothing new
Stock may arrive later this week and it will then be active again on the website with buy now instead of sold out

Zavvi though will most likely change the release date on the website on Tue or Wed with pre order back showing

Give it a few days for the website to update

[paulboland]

It's now in stock
Website updated to Buy Now

[GasmaskAvenger]

And with that said, Zavvi finally charged me for my pre-order.

Can't wait to revisit this infamous piece of film/video game history.

still not dispatched.

i recieved an email this morning apologising that items have not yet been sent and they are following it up.

maybe they didnt get their stock?

I ordered one today and got an email that it's been dispatched.

[GasmaskAvenger]

My credit card has a pending charge from Zavvi, so they most definitely have received their stock.

Just..give it another 5-10 hours or so, because they should be shipping soon.

hope so. I paid via paypal about 2 weeks ago so odd if others have been dispatched and not mine.

I received the same message and then a few hours later I got the shipping confirmation email.

Still nothing on Street Fighter though.

[GasmaskAvenger]

Got the order dispatched email five hours ago.

Arrived just arrived. Mine is damaged boo. Has several blemishes on the front as though the steelbook surface wasn't clean before the artwork was applied

It has several light scuffs all over aswell which could of been down to how shiny it is due to the gloss finish, looks very easy to mark

ALSO the discs are exactly same as the previous bluray release. So nothing new at all

They are bad enough for me to be returning it. Near impossible for me to picture the damage as it can only really be seen by eye when the light catches it. The camera on my phone can't capture it. Its a biggish on Luigis neck and one on his face and a few tiny specks on Mario and another on the back.

Plus the very fine scuffs all over it which are brought out by the high gloss finish.

At a glance it could look fine but to a collector those things would detract from it

Heres best pic i can get of the front. Hard to take a pic of the back , the high gloss makes the black like a mirror and just reflects me and my phone back in it, so ruins the pic.

It looks great, just disapointed in the imperfections on my copy
