That's the norm with Disney Live action released Blus

I'll just c/p from the short circuit post...

It happens a few times with zavvi it's nothing new
Stock may arrive later this week and it will then be active again on the website with buy now instead of sold out

Zavvi though will most likely change the release date on the website on Tue or Wed with pre order back showing

Give it a few days for the website to update

It's now in stock
Website updated to Buy Now

And with that said, Zavvi finally charged me for my pre-order.

Can't wait to revisit this infamous piece of film/video game history.

I ordered one today and got an email that it's been dispatched.

GasmaskAvenger · 02-15-2017, 06:48 AM

My credit card has a pending charge from Zavvi, so they most definitely have received their stock.

Just..give it another 5-10 hours or so, because they should be shipping soon.

hope so. I paid via paypal about 2 weeks ago so odd if others have been dispatched and not mine.

I received the same message and then a few hours later I got the shipping confirmation email.

Still nothing on Street Fighter though.

GasmaskAvenger · 02-15-2017, 03:57 PM

Got the order dispatched email five hours ago.

Arrived just arrived. Mine is damaged boo. Has several blemishes on the front as though the steelbook surface wasn't clean before the artwork was applied

It has several light scuffs all over aswell which could of been down to how shiny it is due to the gloss finish, looks very easy to mark

ALSO the discs are exactly same as the previous bluray release. So nothing new at all

They are bad enough for me to be returning it. Near impossible for me to picture the damage as it can only really be seen by eye when the light catches it. The camera on my phone can't capture it. Its a biggish on Luigis neck and one on his face and a few tiny specks on Mario and another on the back.

Plus the very fine scuffs all over it which are brought out by the high gloss finish.

At a glance it could look fine but to a collector those things would detract from it

Heres best pic i can get of the front. Hard to take a pic of the back , the high gloss makes the black like a mirror and just reflects me and my phone back in it, so ruins the pic.

It looks great, just disapointed in the imperfections on my copy

I cant see any marks in that pic but it maybe the lighting.

Mine turned up yesterday but luckily its perfect not one mark or dent on it.

silverlakephil · 02-22-2017, 12:14 AM

I got my copy. Rather fast from the UK ( 6 days)

GasmaskAvenger · 02-22-2017, 02:51 AM

My orders from Zavvi always take a week from when they're shipped to be delivered.

My copy of the Super Mario Bros. steelbook should be here tomorrow.

Count Orlok · 02-22-2017, 06:44 AM

I was extremely surprised on how fast this made it here. My Fright Night steelbook took an entire month after receiving the shipping email!

I don't see any defects with my copy, other than a miniscule, needle eye sized dent on the back left. Definitely a super glossy steel, though it feels a little flimsy to me, as if it's a thinner material. I've already slipped it into a four sided steelbook shell.

No matter, it's definitely welcome in my collection!

GasmaskAvenger · 02-24-2017, 09:29 PM

Just got mine in the mail today.

One little dent on Bob Hoskins' head, but other than that, its in great condition.
