It seems that I bothered many by posting here!
I'm (obviously) not an "everyday poster" so please excuse me for my mistake, @Scottishguy, @imsounoriginal & @BluAsa97;
if I knew better, or how to move it, I would.

Although, I have to say, I see there's no real consensus here, as where would be the best, but if I would have to say myself, as @BluAsa97 said, this being a premium edition, probably that's where it should had been (yet, sorry, I was not aware of this kind of thread existence, I only knew about GB's, which this is not)

@Blu Cider - clearly NOT you, which is absolutely fine!

Just re-post it in the steelbook section.

This video has a good overview of what the release looks like.

Indeed, it is not a new release, just new stock available, after (very) long time since "sold out" at the release date.
Thanks for posting the video, that's exactly what I also got (the embossed one) recently (last week I think).

I see that the thread has been moved (most likely by an admin, thanks!) to the SteelBook section, so, your wish was granted!

It seems that this is still available, if anyone else still wants it!

Surprised it’s still available.
Wanted to order it a couple weeks ago but the $50 shipping to the US makes it a pass to me.

If you want, I think I can help, as follows:
- I can receive it for 1898 CZK (1799 CZK the item + 99 CZK shipping by packeta.com/coletaria to me) which make it about 87 USD
- then I can send a package of maximum 1 Kg to US, with tracking, for about 22-25 USD (I will not even open the package, just re-ship it)
- add to the above figures the PayPal fee and some Master Card fees, and you'll have the final sum.

If you're OK with this, just let me know.


Please take into account that this edition is slightly more expensive (from FilmArena) than others they have, therefore the higher price.

Thanks for the offer, appreciate it, but I think it’s going to end up being the same because when I login the price reduces to 1511 CZK total before shipping. So it would be around $116 total for me.

Not know what their shipping was before going through checkout I was thinking I was going to get it $80-$85 total. I could get it cheaper eventually through a seller and if not, no big deal.

That price reduction is really interesting...
How come that you get it to 1511 CZK, please?
Maybe if I will get it too, your final price would be better this way...

Don’t know. Maybe because I’m in the US to offset the shipping or maybe first order discount.
Your guess is as good as mine

I see... I can only presume is related to VAT/taxes, which most likely, you would going to pay at the delivery (EDIT: along with the import fees), if you purchase from them directly, with shipping via DHL or whatever service will they be using for shipping to US.

Indeed, we here in Europe, must pay those VAT/taxes upfront, when purchasing anything.

Hope you can find the best way to get one of this, cause is indeed different than anything else I have (and I have a few from most of the premium producers).

Received in in 4 days with 2 other steels but damn, over 100$ with shipping and import fees is crazy. Wish they had a slower shipping option.
