only a "regular" version. Our sincere apologies.



I will pass on ordering from them in the future.
Damn, that does suck. Will they give you a refund?

Just received my order from Mediadis.

Their packaging isn't the best for steelbooks but my item came unharmed!
Brand new sealed and everything.

Never had a problem with Mediadis.
It depends on the carrier/post office service of each country and how they handle their packages.

Anyone else wanting to comment on the picture/audio quality, please? Surprisingly enough I value content higher than packaging...

Cheers,

Isn't it relatively easy to avoid such things from the senders part?

That's just unacceptable, good luck with that.

I don't quite understand why everyone always blames the seller... sure they could always use better packaging, but aren't the postal services more to blame for treating our packages like that?

Just received a reply from freerecordshop.nl. As they can't offer me better packaging for a replacement they will give me a refund.

How is the packaging from http://www.nlstore.nl ? Anyone received the steelBook from them yet?

Just got my copy today in pristine condition. Came in the same type of cardboard wrap amazon and others seem to use, and it worked out fine. BIG "FRAGILE" sticker on the front, about 2" x 3" and in various languages.

Have to give props to these guys at http://www.movies-blu-ray.nl/ , they did good, and thanks to the posters here who recommended them.

Comparable to Amazon, so it's OK for postage within the country, but internationally....

Hey guys wondering if anyone else got this, There appears to be some sought of "blotchiness" on the cover of mine.

If you look closely, to the right and left of the light coming out from behind the Pyramid you can see little black spots that are darker then the black used for the cover. These black dots kind of cover the front and don't appear to be present on the back cover (I haven't removed the paper from the back yet, just lifted it up and looked under the edges and corners)

PICS:





thanks guys!
