Never said otherwise. Are they considered “premium steelbook retailers?”

Are the Matrix 4K steelbooks exclusive to Zavvi in the UK? When will those be available to pre-order?

Are you asking if they are available anywhere else in the UK or only through UK Zavvi? Because they are at Best Buy in the US.

I am from Europe so Best Buy really isn't an option. Amazon UK would be better for me but must steelbooks are Zavvi UK exclusive.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of my fav!

I would like to know if anyone has or knows if the different versions of the steelbook of TGWTD has more Special Features and Extras then the DigiPack (which I own)?

Also where is the best place to buy this right now & version to buy?

Appreciate any/all info on this, thanks in advance!

Two of my last three steelbook in-store pickup orders at Best Buy, for some reason they put them in Ziploc-type bags and then placed the store pickup sticker on the outside of that. Has this happened for anyone else?

I've seen pictures of that unless it was you that uploaded them. I haven't experienced it myself but it sure would be nice to get that huge red ISPU Sticker off my movies

Whomever has bought from Film Arena, how is their overall service/setting-up an account/Premium steelbooks to USA?

I'm thinking of investing in my 1st steelbook purchase from them!

I had no problems. There was a long wait time from time of pre-order to actually delivery. But worth it. Easy to set up account, but a pain to try and get in on some of the exclusives. That's been my experience anyway. They package their items as carefully as Blufans, HDZeta and others.

Thanks hockeyshark91, but what was the "pain" to try and get on some of the exclusives for you (were you not able to get what you wanted/everyone bought so fast you could not purchase?)?

Also do they take out your money immediately or wait until it ships?

My tip is to try not to order direct from them - the shipping charge is crazy high.

BizCat, what are their shipping charges?

How else would I find that particular exclusive steelbook then?

... I'm just recently getting into these exclusives from all these wonderful retailers

... however navigating to get them at the best price/shipping/which exclusive retailer is the best, i.e. KIMCHIDVD, WeET COLLECTION, Cinemuseum etc. is exhausting!

Not sure, it's been awhile, lol. But I've gotten a number of my premiums from users here in the for sale threads, or off of eBay. And then any future releases your best bet would be a groupbuy, usually over at HDN.

I am just recently getting into premium steelbook exclusive collecting & find it rather hard navigating to get what you want!

Where/what is HDN GBs?

[hagios]

I'm real new to those beautiful Premium exclusives & they seem to be mostly steelbooks (& some others too )!

I have/ordered these so far (definitely more to get) :

Thanks found earlier!

I'm trying to locate all of these Premium exclusive retailers!

Would love to have purchased this sold out beauty (was not collecting exclusives at the time of this sale ... but I am now )!

Rats to late for this.

They do take your money right away. And if you're not subscribed, you miss out on limited releases. Even so, I still missed out because I wasn't around to check my email every day. This has been my experience. Like some have said here before, secondary market or group buy is the way to go.
