Collegeboy, I ordered mine just on Thursday, November 10th. The tin case comes in its own, seemingly bespoke, strong plain white cardboard carton (a perfect fit), but my copy was dispatched in a large, long shipping carton; one of those new, ludicrously thin cardboard boxes that THG Ltd*/Zavvi [*Arrow Films too?] now likes to use. This box is so flimsy that the weight of the deluxe, limited, exclusive, fairly expensive six-movie 4K UHD + Blu-ray SteelBook set burst the shipping carton open due to its own weight! Fortunately, that white cardboard case protected the precious cargo, but that carton was falling apart on the postman's shoulder, up the stair to my top (3rd) floor tenement flat (apartment). Mine only travelled up to Scotland. Had I needed to return it, and used the same carton, any Post Office would have refused to handle it. I have no idea and would not trust Zavvi to use more robust (i.e. adequate) packaging literally to ship (or fly) across the 'Pond'.

I just checked now. You were right, I was surprised it was still available last night, and I'm sure you checked earlier today, but now... it's gone, I'm afraid. Sold out.

No, perhaps you misunderstood me. In an earlier post I explained that I had received mine, and criticised Zavvi for mailing my set in a large, oversized and very thin carton, that had burst open in transit (though the heavy tin and SteelBooks were saved entirely thanks to the bespoke, strong, protective cardboard box that comes with it from the manufacturer — I recommend other new owners keep theirs). The unhappy face emoji was in contrast to your smiley one, because the set is no longer in stock; and in sympathy for those who missed out. I did say I checked their site on Monday night and it was still available at that time. If I didn't have one, and wanted one, I would have ordered right then. As it is, I secured mine as soon as I received the promotional email from Zavvi saying it was available again. Thanks for your concern though

I cannot deny that, it does read a bit breathless.

Dude, you weren’t kidding! The box Universal put the set in is superb and built for advanced levels of protection, and as a result of that, my JP set arrived perfectly mint, but the “long box” Zavvi enclosed Universal’s box in was basically as useful as wrapping it in wet tissue paper and it arrived shredded to hell and barely able to hold the inner box anymore. Zavvi is such a garbage company. If only they didn’t have such delicious toys…

It's even more inconceivable that incompetent, incontinent Zavvi would ship this intercontinentally in the same carton, with the thinnest grade of corrugated cardboard that I think I have ever seen, with those ridiculous 'air bags' loosely tossed inside, that could only but help shove that bulk, that heavy weight out the end of the carton, which even has perforated folds, just perfect for tearing themselves open! You would have had a greater chance of surviving intact to the United States as a passenger aboard the Titanic!
