Got mine today. A real beauty. One of my favourite steels so far.

Same here! It arrived in perfect condition. I don't agree with the naysayers, this is a nice quality steelbook release.

There were no paint chips -- and I happened to notice that the wrap around cover didn't contain any adhesive which I feel causes paint chip issues a lot; probably most of the time.

It's definitely a quality steelbook release.

Yes, it's a gorgeous steelbook.

It's just a shame that Disney UK couldn't dig up any bonus features for the disc itself.

Received mine today along with Dick Tracy both in mint condition. I live near Green Bay, WI if anyone from the USA was curious as far as if any member has gotten theirs.

I got my Dick Tracy today but not my Rocketeer, I live in the chicagoland area.

Got my copy yesterday and am EXTREMELY disappointed. The colors are sooo dark, almost looks like its saturated in black and the border around it is worse than I thought. Will not be keeping mine. The colors should have been more bold and vibrant would have made this a nicer steel.

Here's what I'm talking about in terms of how poor and dark the color is in comparison to my slipcover version.

I'm very happy with this. It looks great! A shame it doesn't have any special features, but i'll live.

Where is that slipcover from?

Dubliner1 · 09-26-2013, 02:06 PM

It's a lot darker in hand than this video I made suggests...

It's a custom made slip.

This is what they should have put on the back:

How about the front

wingsdjy · 09-26-2013, 06:32 PM

Does anyone have experience with returns/refunds for damaged items from Zavvi? My copy came in with a big dent on the front cover. Is their CS pretty good about refunds? I'm assuming I can't get a replacement since it's OOP.

Prelude2Elude · 09-26-2013, 06:35 PM

Kinda need that slip in my life. Info?

BuckNaked2k · 09-26-2013, 08:06 PM

Got mine today, very nice. I have the DMR code available for anyone in UK/IRL. Send PM.

Edit: Claimed.

doctorD · 09-26-2013, 08:38 PM

its that slipcover that is wrong. i have promotional buttons from an advanced screening and the coloring is identical to the steelbook.

Mine arrived today in mint condition, along with Starship Troopers.
I can't really tell if this Rocketeer is lighter or darker, and don't really care as it looks great to me!

The real question is...did you open them?
