Invictus FNAC Special Edition Blu-ray SteelBook

[Kynch]

Warner BDs in metal cases are all SteelBooks here, no IronPaks or whatnot.

Good spot there.

An FNAC special edition at that, nice find digitalbabe

hopefully Amazon gets this, FNAC is a PITA to order from internationally

Heard great things about this movie, but I hope the release is region free. The cover looks nice and clean!

[roach_rch]

The movie is awesome and the cover artwork is great. A blind buy for me! ...ok, recently all Steelbooks are blind buys for me, but this is the one I will definitely enjoy

I hate rugby so will be steering well clear of this.

Hi All,

I've never ordered from Fnac and have heard mixed things. I am in US-any recommendations on if to wait for Amazon FR, or another retailer. Or is it safe to order? I know SB shipping is hit or miss, but I thought I'd ask here since it's likely some of you have ordered from this retailer. Thanks for your help

With FNAC, if everything goes well, you are golden, if it goes badly (damage, wrong item, ......) you are pucked (replace the p with a .... well I think you get it)

This comes from personal experience. Sorry for the implied language, but I am still about it

Cheers

How do you know the movie is awesome if you haven't seen it and are blind-buying it?

[Olorin]

I hope that the Steelbook comes


For the answer of FNAC makes good reading:

[Show spoiler]Monsieur ,
I apologize for the delayed answer,

Blu Rays "Edition spéciale Fnac" are generally Steelbooks so you should be delivered with Steelbooks for both your orders.

Besides may I suggest you, in order to decrease the shippng costs, to cancel both orders and validate a new one with both Blu Ray in it.

Thank you for you understanding and your trust.

Best regards.

I'm curious about that release. When the first pics hit this thread I'll put my order.

very nice steelbook indeed, arrived today. Has little mini booklet on back as well

[D-Blitz]

I ordered a few for a mini-group buy for local friends here. Shipping was a little steep but without the VAT, the Steelbook costs almost as much as the amaray here. Hope it turns out OK.

[vdevil]

they used a foldover box, only 1 damaged. They did mark as books for personal use so it breezed through customs

One day transit time

Wow, that's fast. I know even if they say for personal use as long as they put the value and it's over $20, they'll ding me here in Canada.

What would you do with the damaged one? How do they handle that?
