Very nice price at the moment US$44.17 ~£28.80 shipped

I wouldn't chance it Hub....They might not get any just like Skyfall.

Thanks, Yesasia link added to OP.

 

[Grudge]

I had pre-ordered this and The Goonies for around £44 delivered from HMV Japan.

Having never ordered from YA, would there be any benefit to placing my order there instead?

 

[digitalbabe]

Grudge, depends where you are-sometimes it is cheaper for some to order from Yesasia since they include shipping.

Import Duty is pre-paid...So no customs whack

 

[Grudge]

Thanks both for the info, it is actually working out less at HMV to the UK, but that's what I was wondering... if customs maybe comes into play in the overall cost.

I think I'll go ahead and cancel, and put in an order at YA

 

[SteelbookedUp]

Do YA charge straight away? Sorry to ask, but never ordered from them.

 

[lgans316]

No. Maybe they pre-authorize if you use the card with them for the first time.

Charge when item shipped.
#this is limited 2000 copys from japan. Maybe it's happen again like Skyfall japan edition when YA cancel order. Please think twice

 

[Sounder]

I'm guessing there is no 3D since it is not mentioned.... anyone know for sure?

 

[GroundZero81]

2,000 now that's limited!!!!!

What happened with YA and Skyfall. Did they take orders and not have stock - have ordered a copy of this and the Goonies to benefit from the free shipping, but may have to change if there is a risk I won't get the steels...

Yes that's correct, they just cancelled i believe everyones order of Skyfall as they never got an allocation.

If this is limited to 2000 as stated then i would personally order with Amazon.Jp or HMV but each to their own. Risk of customs for UK members but rather that than no steelbook.

Going to take a while before i invest any trust back in YA. By the way. the shipping more than likely isn't free but included in the upfront cost

Yesasia is notorious for canceling orders. Prometheus & Skyfall are the 2 recent titles I remember happening to. Skyfall appears to have never stocked since members here ordered from day 1 and got the cancellation notice. My advice go to hmv.jp before they saleout.

I might order from both just on case.

Will HMV will charge straight away?

 

[pokjak290]

SOLD OUT on HMV.jp

 

[EmiP6]

Glad I ordered it on HMV with Dredd this morning !

 

[irvine3008]

SOLD OUT on YA too.

 

[earthscope]

So glad I ordered this with (amazon.jp & HMV.jp) as that way I can be sure of getting a copy. And I would not be surprised if yesasia pulled another cancellation number with this.

Very wary of ordering anything that has a limited print run with them anymore.

Shipments are expected to begin this week, right ?
