So it looks like this is a Target and Best Buy exclusive? Don't see it on DeepDiscount or Amazon. I might need to get the zavvi version then.

Best Buy says this is not an exclusive but I don't see a preorder available at Amazon. Target will not ship to my location. BB will ship Psycho but not this...frustrating!

I assume you're not in the US or Canada, like me, try DeepDiscount?

How are Best Buy .com returns handled? I remember long ago that you could not ‘exchange’ .com items in store, that you had to return and reorder. But you could return online items. I got a UHD with a scratched up disc. The steel was also dented but crazy enough for myself (I cannot stand dents) is that it is not very deep and I would otherwise keep it this time around rather than take a chance with another. Do they mail out another and you mail them the other one?, like Amazon. Do you mail it back and they just refund you? I actually ordered two copies in case one was visibly damaged without opening and was planning to return the unopened one in store. If it is a return opened for refund I could just open the other one, but if it exchange only for opened damaged I do not need two copies of this.

Just ordered both Psycho and The Birds steelbooks from Target. Could not pass those up. Hopefully Vertigo and Rear Window aren’t far behind. Can you imagine Saul Bass’ iconic Vertigo poster on a steelbook?

Didn't realize this wasn't a Best Buy exclusive. Ordered from Target with my Red Card...free shipping and 5% off and the price was $19.99 so not a bad deal all the way around.

I will go to Target Tuesday to see if there are any in stock and I'll buy one if they actually bring this into the store and then take the best one.

I really don't like that Psycho design in black with the knife, I hope that someone does an alternative one soon. I love The Birds one, pre-ordered, and hope that a Vertigo one will indeed feature the original poster. I also cannot imagine that. Wow.
WOW.

There is a different one. Comes out the same day as The Birds.

Oh thank you! I like this one better. How did I miss it

tyrok, did you order that and Psycho from Best Buy, Target, or somewhere else? Mine are scheduled to arrive Tuesday.

He works at BestBuy, the pics are from the backroom/Inventory at the store he works at.

*I find it funny, this might be the question most asked in the SteelBook section of the forum.

Is it gloss?

Yes the shrink-wrap is glossy.

tono06 · 05-21-2021, 09:18 PM

So much for a white Steelbook ah, now with Tyrok’s pix they don’t look too appealing to me.

To me it just looks like slight shadows cast from the shrink wrap over it, and perhaps sub-optimal lighting. Pretty sure the background is still white.

Monterey Jack · 05-22-2021, 02:28 AM

My Birds and Psycho steelies have shipped.

InBruges · 05-22-2021, 06:24 PM

mine shipped yesterday. could have got here today since it was coming locally but UPS decided to hand em off the USPS this morning. getting here Monday now.

tono06 · 05-23-2021, 08:17 PM

Any unboxing yet?

JGCramp · 05-23-2021, 08:37 PM

This one doesn’t even need full gloss. If the white was matte but everything else spot gloss it would’ve still been amazing. The only way to mess this up was full matte...

I cancelled my preorder but I’ll probably still buy it since the artwork itself is great.
