Awesome looking Steelbook. Minus the spine slash that is.

Sometimes there's hope to get a copy of something if I go to the Compton stores, but even that is a crapshoot.

this makes me! Just totally ridiculous. I will definitely get to my local BB tomorrow before opening and try to grab one if they're available. Apparently it's a hot seller.

I'm actually kinda hoping there's a scalper there at opening by my store tomorrow, so I can be a good samaritan and get to the copies before he does and attempts to snatch them all for himself. I've been waiting on a confrontation like that since I heard about the GotG fiasco last year.

Dude, I will be rooting for you in spirit though I cannot be there in person. If I could be a fly on the wall or an angel on your shoulder to witness the smack down I would.

One of my coworkers is super into Mad Max so I specifically scheduled him at 11am tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be heading into work with 2 mint steelbooks (one for me of course).

Even asked the CS rep for assurance that my preorder will be placed to the side later today/early tomorrow before store opening, and she said it goes in the system right away, so they'll work on separating all preorders later on, including mine.

I will be there at 10am regardless, just in case. But I'm so relieved that I was able to at least guarantee a spot for the steel.

Oh, and I already redeemed my CinemaNow code, linked to my UV account , and it streams with no problem!

I did almost the exact same thing.
Found less than 5 pre-order cards left last Friday, used $10 of Rewardzone coupons & redeemed the code as soon as I got home.

And while I agree the cover art is cool. I don't understand why Furiosa wasn't included.

And, pardon if it's been mentioned already, but in case anyone missed it, check out the "Honest Trailer" for Fury Road on Youtube.

My copy arrived today in pristine condition! Got a little nervous after hearing some of you guys' experiences.

Supaclyde · 08-31-2015, 08:50 PM

What a delightful early birthday surprise!

There's some odd almost horizontal streaks across the front on my case. Almost looks like scuffs from the case scraping along a table. Odd, but not particularly bothersome.

sneakersislife · 08-31-2015, 08:58 PM

of course my tracking info says it'll be delivered today, but my empty mailbox says otherwise, why did I think even for a second I'd have it early, just pissed me off and ruined my day.

Really glad to hear that you got a pre-order in, dude!

I'm going to try and be there at opening, too, just to be safe. Honestly, I'm also trying to decide whether or not I should order another tonight via in-store pickup just to be safe, or whether I should pick up an extra there to possibly help someone out if there's still copies when I go.

Cool to see someone else who does Bing Rewards, too. I mainly just end up redeeming mine for Amazon. Maybe I should look into that Swagbucks thing.

Will. · 08-31-2015, 09:15 PM

It's a little worrisome to hear about all these scuffs and slashes. Hoping mine is in one minty piece.

That'sAllFolks · 08-31-2015, 09:17 PM

Will I get a Cinema Now code if I just buy it tomorrow?

ikhon · 08-31-2015, 09:21 PM

Good question. I would say no as I think it was a preorder bonus.

RadioFlyer · 08-31-2015, 09:32 PM

Have to work tens this week to have a four day weekend, so a tardy post.

I was a little anxious after hearing about crushed corners and [mysterious] spine slash that some poor souls are experiencing.
