I ordered when it first went live and I just got an email saying

If this happens and I don't get this steel imma gonna be so mad! I see not reason why someone who order when cancellations went up can get it but I who ordered when it went live is not.

Has anyone received this email?

Well if you ordered when it originally went live hopefully they're just waiting on the remaining stock rather then over selling.

Fingers x'd anyway.
 
Alright so for any one that got that email or hasn't had it ship yet, I email support and got this:

Thank you for getting in touch with us about your pre-order.

We send all pre-ordered items out as soon as we receive them into our warehouse from the manufacturers. We always endeavour to have pre-orders delivered to our customers on, if not before, the release date.

So there we go the 9th, here's hoping...
 
Got mine today,it's a beauty of a steelbook - Suprised that there are zero special features on the disc though

The DVD was pretty much the same only had isolated score and some galley photos and trailers

The Blu-ray has noting in extras it would have been nice if they had at least included the isolated score

Very strange no making of was done or other extras with any Mars Attacks Blu-ray releases considering previous Tim Burton Films releases usually had very good extras

The Steelbook is a beauty very glossy and fantastic artwork and good nights fun entertainment film bring a smile to your day

the finish is not as i expected. more metallic. almost like no matter what angle you look at it from, you cant see full rich colours/detail.

still, a nice steelbook, nice design... just think it would have been better if it wasnt reflective
 
OMG! i wasnt expecting this at my box when i got back from work but it was a nice surprise...awesome steelbook, this was a total blind buy for me since i never seen it....
 
Kinko-try checking your spam, sometimes order confirmation e-mails in general can end up in there. I'd also check all of your orders at Zavvi to be sure it went through ok and shipped. Good luck!

I did turned out my bank flagged it as a danger purchase cause recently my card got copied, so they sent me a new card and put my account on watch so they thought a uk purchase was odd, so they declined the transaction.

I called them and they told me to try it again tonight, so I will, hopefully the delay on my end won't make me lose the steel :(
