I ordered from YesAsia as well, but I guess they didn't receive a sufficient quantity, as my order is listed as "Waiting For Stock."

Thanks for the pics buddy. Aforementioned this could have looked bright and colorful had they used a glossy finish.

If you ever get Ninja membership, you need to change your forum title to the 'Glossy Steelbook Ambassador'.

I'm glad someone is always fighting for premium quality finishes and not lame matte finishes. Whatever happened to quality Japanese Steelbooks?

 

[hayemaker]

To be fair this should be Exhibit A for why glossy is always superior to matte. This looks completely lifeless.

When the mockup looks better than the finished article, you know you have a problem.

Need to get a copy or myself

Would've been nice to have a glossy steel, but I'm going ahead with my order. For the price it's a nice steel to toss in with Dredd & Star Wars.

 

[Drouse]

Hey guys - never ordered from Amazon JP before. Express shipping is the only option? Want to order this but shipping is almost as much as the steel!

Yup, ONLY Express Shipping for delivery...

Ouch! Guess I might as well grab a few others to make it worth it then or just deal with it. Thanks

 

[blumaster]

Shipping from HMV is half the price of Amazon....

Still waiting on YesAsia as well... They should really change their name to NoAsia

 

[Ricker]

Not happy, I placed an order for this and CATCF when they were having their big sale. Just went to see about shipping, and their are no orders for me. The website looks totally different now as well.

I've made my thoughts clear about YesAsia in the retailer thread. At least you got an email, I ain't heard anything yet. (extra angry dude for me)

I got the same email but they said they would have it by 11th june in mine, it wouldn't surprise me if they still didn't have it by then, and these people still don't have the decency to let people cancel

 

[Apedemak]

Yep,I agree..really not liking YA new policy on not being able to cancel. A real pity as for UK purchasers they are useful for avoiding customs tax on imports, but will only use them as very last resort in future.

 

[jamesbee86]

My YesAsia email says the 17th June for dispatch :-/

 

[lgans316]

Looks like you got these mails because I sent several stinkers to them on their non-cancellation policy and their inability to ship on time. People who ordered at amazon.jp have already received their packages and even posted pics but a retailer are struggling to obtain stocks.

 

[kevindublin]

I got the email this morning from Yesasia.
My expected ship date is the 11th June

 

[ash333]

Making this brief since there are too many retailer posts here - YesAsia is a reseller of releases outside of HK. So they rely on secondary distributors and regular shipping schedule AFTER official release date.
