Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection 4K UHD (2011-2019) - Page 39 - Blu-ray Forum

I don't think you'd get it any sooner, but you would be charged immediately. Not sure whether or not that's worth it to you. I moved my order to WBshop to take advantage of the 10% newsletter code, and it seems like I'll get my order at best at the same time as everyone else (outside the US, since the US date doesn't seem to have been kicked back to December), but more likely later, having had the privilege of paying two months early because their website didn't have the right release date associated with the steelbooks. (Hence why it is appearing available now, but is almost certainly not.)

The only reason I'm even considering the steelbook set is for the opposite reason - I figure it will be less of a hassle to get a "perfect" steelbook set than it will be to get the standard set without that outer box being smashed. Still, I don't think I can do it. Pictures of decent rear/interior art may have swayed me, but the steelbook artwork revealed so far is of the "we dare you to buy this" variety IMO. If they removed "GOT" from the front, it wouldn't be as rough for me, even though zoomed in shots of props is.... a choice?

Just cancelled my Zavvi order and switched to WBShop, only for them to charge me twice. What an absolute mess

Do you mean two authorisations? Stupid of WBshop, but I imagine one is the usual 'validation check' and the other is the pending amount. Unhelpful and potentially screws people in the short term, but in a few days time one should disappear and one should go through. Had a couple of similar things recently (though not with WBshop), but thankfully they rectified themselves...

aviosis · 10-28-2020, 05:41 PM

I still think it's hilarious this is coming out on Election Day in the United States. A real life Game of Thrones right here

This is my current status, hoping you are right but they are for two different amounts. One with the discount and one without. All I wanted to do was offset my cost for V for Vendetta.

Update: Just switched from Awaiting Payment to Awaiting Dispatch, so I am pretty confident it is just a holding payment for the other one.

This looks like a new design for 4 discs steelbooks, never seen anything like the one on the picture.

Oh, I meant on the card, not on their site. That definitely looks like two orders, but here's hoping it's just a mess-up on their end. Also, I too went for the premium delivery, which was charged to my card immediately a couple of months back. Probably wasn't worth the extra £3.99, since I guess they will send it tracked anyway at the cost it is, but we shall see. Hope you don't get charged twice / get two sets.

Thank god it's 18-rated. Of all the new BBFC logos that's the one that looks best IMO.

I've message support so we shall see. I will just reject one of the parcels if two arrive, but still annoying.

For the steel book edition, is the box also steel to hold all 8 seasons?

tyrok · 10-28-2020, 09:44 PM

tylerman29 · 10-28-2020, 09:50 PM

It's really a shame that the steelbook's outside art is so underwhelming..it had the potential to be a definitive release. I don't regret canceling in favor the the standard 4k set at all.

hoejunter · 10-28-2020, 10:09 PM

Love the colours on the standard set, I can’t wait to get mine!

El_Pollo_Hermano · 10-28-2020, 10:16 PM

It says limited edition "...out of 7600"?

Batman90 · 10-28-2020, 10:21 PM

I hope the regular set didn’t have stacked discs.

Vangeli · 10-28-2020, 10:43 PM

Really hope the first wave of Steelbook sets ship out in that box with foam blocks.

They would really get rid of the foam from the steelbook sets?
