i am sure a large Spanish site will have them, if thats the country of origin. I am basing that off sellers location

and you can report that seller for violating preorder policy, because ebay states 30 days or less for preorder.

If OP buys one and doesnt get it, hes shit out of luck as the 45 day window on paypal would have expired.

its either a guy selling blu rays + a pic of his girlfriend/wife in the pics or its the girl who is the scalper. either way ive been looking at their prices for a very long time and vowed never to buy anything from them as they are such a rip off. i reckon they are full time scalpers (their main job)

like I sai, if you look at the feedback



All issues revolve around shipping in a timely manner, PREORDERS not clearly represented. People are very patient for the most part, but 45-60 days is unacceptable. I am sure they do this to sell fast and beat others, but its hurting their reputation overall.

And yes they are a registered Business seller on ebay per their information

These aren't Steelbooks anyway, they are metalpaks (or some other kind of metal packaging):

Twilight Metal Edition (Blu-Ray)

Twilight (Ltd Metal Box)

Why not get the Spanish releases to begin with? The originals of course.

lenocheck04 (and she is actually a member here and at HiDefNinja) sold me a visibly (really obvious through the plastic wrap) scratched Prometheus Taiwan steelbook, which she advertised as "mint" . . .
[Show spoiler]



I returned the item (close to two months ago) without tracking (stupid, on my part) because it would have cost me very close to $60 CAD for return shipping with tracking to Spain. I have pics of my return receipt, which I'm not going to bother posting here.

Anyway, she claims she never received my return. So I'm out money for the item and the return (while she quite possibly has my damaged item).

Anyway, caveat emptor (and lesson learned) with respect to dealing with this individual, imo.

If you shipped it via Small Packet you should still be able to claim for the insurance. It's a pretty quick process, at least the last time I did it. Took 2~3 weeks.

Yes, except the person who returned it for me didn't know what she was doing (and claimed a value of "0" since the item was damaged and being returned for that reason).

Also, I should note that it is possible that lenochek04 never received the return, but given the preponderance of evidence (I have proof of the scratch and the receipt for the return, while she advertised a steelbook as mint and sent me an obviously scratched item), I am a tad skeptical.

Buy it again from that ***** and say that you didn't received it. Or just say that it was a fake / copied and that she put in a note demanding unreasonable things from you lol.
I hate people like her

Well, anyways, I don't care about these shitty movies (never seen them though xD). Even if they were made out of gold... I am not polluting my own collection .
