Never had this happen ordering with them. Thanks.

I called their C.S. and asked to speak with someone in English after receiving a damaged Steel. I had to send the SteelBook back to them, but it was otherwise fairly painless.

Thanks, they responded quickly (albeit in French) and refunded the order. I guess I have to place another if I want it. Thanks.

Not glossy, unfortunately, but they still look nice.

Are the British rating symbols actually on the case or are they stickers on the shrink wrap?

in my experience they are stickers, sometimes they are on the shrink wrap and other times on the steelbook itself. But yeah stickers in my experience.

Ended up getting my Dr No from France. Didn't need/want all that exrta shite from Zavvi for the higher price lol

Have them - they are stickers on the shrink wrap.

For those that bought these, how satisfied are you with them? Im bothered by the fact that they are matte while the previous wave was gloss. Also from all the videos and pics Im seeing they dont look like they were done as well as the previous wave. It literally looks like they just slapped a screen shot on the steelbook without even doing any sharpening or denoise.

I'm pretty happy with them, for what they are. The matte/glossy differences aren't all that noticeable when they're spine-out on the shelf, and I'm only ever watching one a time rarely end up comparing releases.

Shame they're not 4K but I've got some sticky rosette hubs ready to insert once the 4K discs are (eventually) released, which will turn these into my definitive James Bond home media collection.

I bought them all and was slightly underwhelmed. To my eye, the colors didn't 'pop' enough with the matte finish. Gloss would have been much better.

I'm glad I have them, but may not have purchased them if I saw them in person first.

YMMV

Thanks for the responses. Im leaning towards getting them because there are now only 3 of the non-Craig Bonds (the ones I consider canon) missing and I dont think we will ever get this many of the Bonds in steelbook again in the same design.

Any chance of these being released in the US?
