Got my HMV Metropolis steelbook this morning and all ok

Love the transfer and new orchestral score. Still maintain they should have added the Moroder edition for completeness and I personally think they should have allowed you to select playing the severely damaged Buenos Aires print scenes via seamless branching. But apart from that it's perfect and the commentary is simply fantastic. Just to imagine HG Wells attending the original New York premiere and slating it!!
The steelbook is my best yet and I have been considering for some time to pick up the other silent Masters of Cinema classics such as Sunrise, M and City Girl

Take it easy Blu-Boy..CC was just kidding with you.

He DID put a smilie emoticon after that statement.

You're lucky...sometimes he doesn't even give ME any emoticons.

These are actually pretty good - they're quite hardwearing so it's actually more protection than the standard jiffy bags you get from Amazon and Play most of the time.

Got mine this morning here in Canada, standard fold-over cardboard mailer, similar to Amazon, no damage.
