since the edition itself is so sturdy, zavvi saved on additional packaging and attached the shipping labels directly to the unsealed box.. i tore off half the artwork when i tried to remove the sticker from the grotesquely deformed box despite a maximum of caution

you're welcome and sleep well!

nah, i actually dont know.. second sight themselves shipped the item in a very large box with lots of bubblewrap.. with zavvi id be afraid that they use some bubblewrap envelope, but tbh this item should be too large, so they probably go for a box with

Aren’t you supposed to be banned?

Your like that weird kid in the corner just saying random sh!t to himself and the insects. Making zero f**king sense

Was (again).

Yeah, I'm weird that way. Love me insects. Make good eat too.

Have a nice weekend ! ( I mean it )

Mine arrived from Zavvi in literally the worst packaging ever, so of course it's all dinged up

Received another item from this week which was much cheaper, yet they sent it well packed AND tracked. They have no F'in clue

RC10OFF - only works for Red Carpet subscribers though. Unless there's another one I'm not aware of...?

Haven't said this out loud before but I'm massively meh on this set.

Had high hopes based on the original BS about what could have been, but in hand disappointed. Just plain glossy card on everything, I've no interest in the story book, the hardback book is nice but I doubt I'll ever look at it in detail, the picture cards are just picture cards and then just a boring digipak to hold the discs

Hard not to compare this at £60 with a Steelbook set like the HMV The Batman or the Zavvi Doctor Strange MOM and feel it was massively overpriced for what you get

No offense, but why buy this if you have no interest in the books? It’s basically the entire point of the set.

Firstly I said I had no interest in the story book, never said I wasn't interested in the other book I just said I'd never look at it in detail (I even said it was nice). Amazing how I went into detail about the things I'm disappointed about in the set and that's what you've picked out

Secondly the whole point of the set is the books? How's that exactly? The selling point of the set is the 4K disc, what then separates the regular edition with the 4K disc to this CE is the packaging and the extra's. The whole point of the set definitely isn't just the two books

Exactly. I don't think I'll read the novel, but I'd like to read essays about the movie, and whatever else there is. Must be something interesting in 160 pages!

 

[leelee17]

To be honest the books weren't a big selling point for me, personally. I won't read the novel but may get around to flicking through the hardback book at some point. I bought this set because its a damn nice set for a modern classic at a great price for the content

No offense, but why buy this if you have no interest in the books? It’s basically the entire point of the set.

No it isn't.its about picking up a premium edition for a movie I love instead of a bog standard amaray edition. For me, personally, that's the case with every special / premium edition I purchase. No matter what the content is its all about the movie...

So, it the difference between this set and the regular amaray is the books but those are not.... I don't get it, it was very clear from the getgo what you were going to receive/get when ordering this set.

People buy whatever they want for their own reasons, and if that makes them happy, then great! How do we still not understand that?

 

[Noodles]

Decided to open my copy in the end and thankfully the majority of the damage I mentioned earlier was on the removable card thingy, so there's only one small ding on the rear down a single edge, which I can live with

Amen to the voice of reason!!!
Each to their own, all is subjective...

[Flloydo]

The books aren’t the selling point for me either. For me it’s a number things like I like the whole set and art, drive in 4K, recently discovering second sight and liking their products, the extras including the books. So all of it. But they were the last selling point for me

This mf a beast!

Great, isn't it?
I have no interest in the books though, so I don't know why I bought it...

Why do some buy One-clicks and never open them? They like BIG BOXES on their shelves, showing what a BIG FAN they are.
