Didn't think this would sell out and tried to pre order with amazon last week. Was still listed for pre order but wouldn't let me confirm, stating item is no longer available. It completely sold out on zavvi and hmv too.

Passed a hmv store yesterday and they had 0 stock allocated to them and suggested they had received no pre orders either.

It was for my girlfriend as she loves the movies and the show. Being aware of all this, somehow she managed to stick an order in around 5pm yesterday on amazon. When I looked it was gone again. Dispatched and should be here Friday.

May have missed a thread but my mind is blown the last post here is 3rd July considering the drama I've had trying to get this.

Genuinely never expected this to sell out at all three major retailers.
 
My replacement arrived in perfect condition and amazon said i can keep the dented one so i sold it to CEX for £30 store credit, So i actually made £6 lol

CEX took something that dented?
Don't you feel bad some online buyer is going to end up with a bonked up steelbook at some point? :LOL:
Granted, they can always take it back, but still.
CEX are total sh*tsack Muppets for accepting that.

I actually managed to fix it up a bit, It still has a dent but not as bad compared to when i opened but i have noticed with cex that they will give full price value for even a damaged steelbook.

Do i feel bad if someone buys it? No, Not at all, Its CEX that will ultimately loose money, Not me or the person who buys it :)

Plenty of CEX stores have their steelbooks on the shop floor and they end up in quite rough condition so if bent back into shape it probably isn't all that bad (relatively speaking), a lot seem to stick steelbooks behind the counter now but it's always a gamble ordering from them. I think if you're not prepared to deal with accepting or returning a poor condition copy you shouldn't touch CEX, it is what it is and I'm glad to at least have the option.

I almost never buy online. I think I've done it once. Have to see it in hand. At the very least I think CEX should have images and quality descriptions online. Especially for the newer or more valuable older titles.
I went to view a £60 Once Upon a Time in America steel in a store a little further than usual and it looked like it'd been used as a skateboard. They wanted full store asking price. I offered them £10 instead and the guy thought I was joking. A lot of stores don't have any quality control, some do; unfortunately because you don't know what store your online purchase copy is coming from it's a total lottery.
They should sort that out. They won't ever though.
It's BS really as limited collectibles should be sorted and priced according to their degree of condition.

Agreed, I never order steelbooks online from them, I have only ever purchased one in store and thats because it was in great condition.

I thought they might offer me £10 for it because it was damaged but as i stated above usually they do not care about the condition of the steelbook, as long as the disc is in good condition and it open closes they will pay full for it, In my local store at least.
