40 quid? Nope, I’ll wait for a regular edition. I’m sure I’ll make do without the rubbish blueprint, pin, patch and art cards.

This is an odd release. The Collector's Edition with the slipcase and all of the other extras is the WorldWide release available from retailers in multiple countries.

There is a regular edition with just the PET slip and the steelbook at a cheaper price. It's a Zavvi exclusive in the UK and only available to Red Carpet members. The price is £29.99.

Having said that, oddly enough it can also be ordered from the Zavvi US site. for US$38.99 as well as the Zavvi Canada site for CA$49.49 without Red Carpet memberships required since Red Carpet memberships are only available to residents of the UK.

Is it likely that the Blu-ray in the UK editions will be region free?

This is from Paramount so yes the Blu-ray disc will be region free.

These are the studios that always release region free Blu-ray discs now:

Paramount
Universal Studios
Warner Brothers
Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm
Sony
20th Century (now part of Disney)

The only releases that you have to look out for that I'm aware of are from Arrow (often region "B" in Europe), Lionsgate (often region "A" in North America) and Shout Factory (often region "A" in North America).

Mostly the Studios are fine but Paramount USA will lock if they don't own the rights outside the US and they did do that and so has Universal on some titles again US side with no international distribution.

It's a great release!

(and the pizza was great too)

[SpeakerToAnimals]

Pizza is apt. Mine arrived crushed. Obviously too much hassle to box it so they just sent it in a cardboard envelope. Going back to Amazon for a refund as it’s now sold out.

Wish I got this now tbh, looks beautiful, think they’ll get more in?

Mine arrived completely wrecked from Amazon - sent in a brown paper bag. However, I hedged my bets and also ordered from HMV which arrived mint.

[Carlos2992]

Call me lucky, I get all my orders to Argentina from amazon.uk on paper envelopes as well, and almost never got any damage.

[AlanUK]

Amazon lost my parcel with this in

[UnionJackMix]

I had initially pre-ordered the US version from deepdiscount when someone was saying the plastic o-card would be exclusive to other retailers - then it became apparent that was not true.
Then saw the zavvi exclusive box and pre-ordered with an eye to check for European amazons who'd sell it cheaper, with no shipping charges AND VAT removed.
Finally found it on amazon.it, deleted zavvi.
Amazon in their customary mindblowing stupidity sent it in those thin cardboard envelopes. The box itself was bent and the accessory box was crushed. Contacted them and they sent a replacement, asking for the initial copy back.
Received the replacement, obviously sent in the same stupid thin cardboard envelope. Box is almost intact but the accessory box is crushed like the first one.
Did anyone actually got an intact copy of this?
BTW today received the deepdiscount version which I completely forgot to cancel the order for lol - it did come with the plastic o-card.

[Gorgon]

I'm thinking now, after reading of so many with damaged boxes that Zavvi must have received their shipment, from wherever, with the whole lot damaged.

Mine was crushed along the bottom outer case with a small sign of crushing along the spine of the accessory box inside. (Mine came shipped in a heavy cardboard sleeve, with no damage to it).

I've used a heavy book to bend the bottom flat again and it worked pretty well, leaving just a wrinkled line along the (thankfully bottom) seam.

After receiving 18 damaged steelbooks from them I stopped ordering until recently. I order my steelbooks now with gift wrapping...they place it in a cloth gift bag which gives it some protection. Have gotten about 5 so far all in envelopes and none with damage. Hate paying the extra, but if it's a hard to get steelbook I'll do it. Anyway you might try the gift bag...It's 3.99 euro I believe.
