They just created the shipping label but haven't actually let RM collect it yet, so it's on HMV not RM.Despatched on Monday from HMV yet still not with Royal Mail...
So much for 48 tracked...
I'm getting Spider-man tomorrow as well but no tracking updates on Fight Club yet.Mines apparently arriving tomorrow along with Manta Spidey 2
Have you received yours and watched it?So much talk and excitement about a useless release. Steelbook is worse than any and all before it, transfer ruined...

I received it at the forwarding company.Have you received yours and watched it?


Finish is exactly the same from what I've seen. Looks really nice in-hand!Does the UK steel differ any from the US in finish?
In my experience they request photos of the issue and then offered a paltry partial refund if you wish to keep the item. You then have to confirm you want to return the item to get a returns label code. Hopefully you can provide photos that show the issue. If the item is faulty or has a quality issue then I can't imagine them refusing a return. It can get a bit longwinded going back and forth but I've always got there in the end. If I was you I'd order a copy from Rarewaves in the meantime...Just got mine today and it's got a few pretty noticeable scratches, I've submitted a return request from zavvi, how likely are they to accept? Rarewaves still have in-stock thinking about just ordering from there and sending zavvi one back? Everywhere but rarewaves are sold out so I'm assuming zavvi won't offer a replacement just a refund? Anyone got any advice? thanks.
I’m pretty sure you can only send stuff back to zavvi for a refund now and they no longer process replacements. Change came in around the same time as the pay on pre order change.

I appreciate the responses guys, I just ordered from rarewaves, I normally don't bother sending stuff back unless it really bad but this release is really important to me and this has been on my top 5 films to come to 4k since I've adopted 4k in 2018, Love the steel as well would be my luck to get hit on this one. Never getting rid of my manta FS grail at this point! haha

There’s a few pink. Grand Budapest hotel, companion (bit more peach), Babygirl, maxxxine, baby driver, duel (HMV Japanese), there was something like clueless but not clueless.Lucky Dude. If you already have that Manta FS. I'd think your favourite film has it's forever home!
Hope you manage to get a replacement though. For a WWA art, despite it's lack of bossing, this steel has a great look to it...and it's PINK. Have we ever had a pink steel before...maybe Barbie? I can't remember. Lol.
I love having statement coloured steels. Some of my Orange ones stand out big time. I love noticing them against the rest.
That Grand Budapest one is pretty decent. I like the colour and it's still fairly cheap second hand, but I'm still hanging out for the variant that has the Hotel key art, it's much better looking.There’s a few pink.

I had both but I hated the hotel art In hand. Sold it years ago. It’s really dull in hand and just not like the film at all. I actually kept the pink version lolThat Grand Budapest one is pretty decent.

The pop art steel for kung fu hustle is pretty mad. Would’ve looked awesome in glossColour wise though, the pink one is awesome. Little bit like the UK Dark Crystal blu ray steel, that one is a gorgeous deep mixed blue and yellow embossed steel. There's a lot of those going onto Bay now due to the release of the 4k DCrystal releasing in June. It's worth a pick up. One of the OG steels that have the frame bossing and heavy glossing.
The Pop Art Steel for Desperado is another one that hits large with colour. Nice gloss yellow with mixed red and black on the main design. Bossing too. Another one of those earlier big hitters. Love or hate the designs, those guys had the quality spent on them.

Just found some photos I posted in the thread nearly 11 years ago! wtfI've never seen the the Hotel one in hand. From pictures you'd assume it's the best design. You can't beat those older glossed and embossed Blu ray steels. Love em.
Kung Fu hustle one is awesome. Not a fan of the film but a fan of the steel.

It’s one of the worst I’ve seen when the j card is a completely different colour. Photos weren’t great back then
The only 4K for Budapest is in the Wes collection box so farSheesh, you're not wrong there. Bit of gloss would have made that design.
Cheers for the heads up. For what this one is going for now aftermarket, I'll pass on.
Criterion. Do they have a 4k of this? Could easily pass on a steel for Wes Anderson films until there's some decent releases.
I do love The Fantastic Mr Fox UK Blu ray steel. That's a belter.
