Yeah, it's looking more and more like a manufacturing issue.

I know this release has been out for a while for those who were fortunate enough to snag the Columbia set but seeing this for the first time in 4K....and the awesome Atmos track ..

This release is absolute perfection.

I picked up my copy today at Best Buy, surprisingly they had 10 copies in stock. No dents or scratches on the steel book, disc damage either.

I'm hoping I find a copy today at BB. I knew this was coming in June, just didn't know what date.

Just received my Steelbook early from Zavvi and the inside of the UK packaging seems to be different to the US one shown by Filmmaker. There's no plastic dividing tray in the middle just the four stacks stacked on top of each other 2x2. The Feature Disc 1 fell out as soon as I opened it, but luckily there were no scratches on any of the discs

There is no title on the front of the Steelbook. It throws me off.

However once I took off the j-card I found some scratches on the back.

Hard to get a replacement now that it's out of stock. Edit: 2 discs have scratches and smudges. I strongly advise everyone to look over their sets carefully.

Still look forward to watching it this evening.

Same! No dents, but same deep scratches on the back only. Otherwise perfect.

Keep the J-Card problem solved. Steelbooks often do this. Personally not a big fan of steelbooks although this one does look quite nice in person.

It's inconvenient more than anything. I don't know if this is the case with anyone else but I actually have 2 J-Cards.

Mine has the exact same scratch. I wonder if it is a Manfacturing glitch. No biggie, the picture and sound quality is jaw dropping. Looks like a movie that was made yesterday.

Oh, now that’s some bullshit right there! Sorry, UK.

Gacivory · 06-08-2022, 05:35 PM

UK stacking discs and the US has a swinging tray? What is it Opposite Day?

Obsidianable · 06-08-2022, 06:00 PM

Aghh just arrived from Zavvi and the spine has been printed so that the title and SPHE logo is right at the edge being cut off.

shy86 · 06-08-2022, 06:26 PM

Yeah my Lawrence Steel is going right back. I hate stacked discs, will do with my Columbia Classics one. Ah well

That came with stacked discs as well. Though thankfully mine were alright.

Same. The OG case in the US Columbia Collection wasn’t even an Elite stacker, it was some weird cheapo nastiness. That went straight in the bin.

It might have been better than the Elite stacker though, as I think there was some air gap between where the discs rest at.

Mine has scratches all over the back, but at least the discs appear to be fine.

This is starting to seem like a common problem. Wonder if I should chance a return.
