I don't mind this steelbook. Looks very different.

Any Czechs in the house? The website isn't user friendly.

Before I download Chrome can you verify if they ship to the UK?

They ship here to the US, so I don't see why they wouldn't ship to you, too
...it's not cheap for us though

Planning on doing any group buys on this one Rod? I wouldn't mind getting in on it if you do seems like it's the only listed steelbook for this to date.

For Europeans not cheap either...
Shipping costs are higher than steelbooks costs.
I think it was 1200 KC last time I checked...

Well, I am from Slovakia (next to Czech Republic) and I need to say "Filmarena" often uses fan-art covers before official releases so nothing is confirmed here...

EDIT: I just looked to our DVD/BR catalog and there is no steelbook for The Dictator, so that steelbook is fake..

Whole discussion here about Film Arena. Apparently they are notorious for using fan made artwork

they use fanart for every pre order they put online so its very misleading until the final product comes out and it looks totally different

i love the great members on this fabulous forum

I PM'ed brando29 asking if he knew anyone who could pick me up a Dictator Steel and i was very lucky because he said he could for me

Thanks brando29, im so pleased that im getting this great steel.

[richieb1971]

Not received mine yet. Anyone received theirs?

[richieb1971]

I have been in a dispute with filmarena.cz for a while now. Unfortunately when I bought this steelbook the transaction went through my bank account without registering the sale on the website. They eventually registered the error and gave me 1101CZK credits.

Unfortunately whilst navigating the website I actually bought 2 lots of 1101CZK credits instead of selling them. This was a language navigation error on my part because I don't understand Czech. It took a while for the funds to leave my account.

Unfortunately again, these credits did not add to my account on the website. *reason unknown*

Meanwhile (or in the meantime) I got the hobbit dropping my Dictator sale credits which dropped from 1101czk to 74CZK.

Now I am trying to get the 2x CZK1101 back, the owner of the site stated this twice -

Greetings,

You have to do the claim and Your bank is necessary to do it.

If they not going to help You, we will send it to Your bank account but charge for a transaction is 1000 CZK.

Since I paid with a debit card my bank (barclays) will not help me. Stating only fraudulent activity can be refunded and since my card details were given willingly there is nothing I can do. They said if Filmarena.cz was a reputable company they would just refund my money.


I just wanted to share this, as I have recently emailed them telling them to keep my money and that I will NEVER EVER use their silly company again. Please do not use filmarena.cz unless you want them to take advantage of a silly mistake. Amazon would have refunded me in a heartbeat. Lesson learnt.

Thanks for reading.
