Just had my dispatch email from ES.. Cannot wait for this to come. Hopefully it'll arrive by the weekend so I've got something to watch :movie:

 

[tono06]

amazon doesn't dispatch any earlier ah?

 

[Narg]

I'm temped to get all the hobbits on steelbook even though I ordered the one with a statue for the first one just like owning hobbit and lord of the rings stuff

 

[Kizza]

Shipped from ES baby

AmazonUK never do

They usually ship on a Saturday or Sunday
But they end up faster for delivery

If I had ordered from Zavvi it would have shipped early but would take 3-7 Working days to deliver on average 4 or 5 days

AmazonUk will Ship Sat/Sun and I get Delivery on Tue
if they use An Post for Rep of Ireland

 

[8bitheart]

Amazon are strange. When ever I pre-order, I choose the delivery option that states I should get it on release day. I have yet to receive an order on release day. The last thing I ordered turned up on the Sunday before (result) everything else has (and usually) turns up on the Tuesday - so I'm still not expecting to have this in my hands for at least another week

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

I was hoping that this would have arrived today but no luck, fingers crossed for tomorrow. :movie:

 

[RD1973]

Does any region have this steelbook in a glossy finish? I'd like to get one that matches my Hobbit: AUJ (UK).

No but will take a look on Sunday in the Navan Shop and take a photo if I see one and they don't notice me or buy it if AmazonUK not already despatched my order

HMV/Xtra-Vision Price €27 .99

I have this on order with AmazonUK but if I see a copy available before AmazonUK Ship I will get it from HMV and Cancel the AmazonUK order if I can but I doubt it as it usually goes to preparing for despatch on a Saturday and they ship on Saturday or the Sunday
But I wont be until Sunday before I get a chance to go to HMV

AmazonUK Price with Shipping will be around €28.99 and with a bit of luck the price might drop by Monday

 

[Blu-devil]

Any word from HMV UK? Been calling my nearest branches all week but no one picking up the dog and bone.

Was in my local xtra vision/hmv this evening and they had no steelbooks for this, only the normal blu ray and 3D version with the lenticular slip.

 

[darczap]

Wow, there are too many releases to keep up with. I had no clue this was coming out in just a few days! Looks like there a lot left in stock on amazon, so I'll wait for pics and possibly a price drop.

 

[Lone Crusader]

I just got billed for this so hopefully it will ship soon.

 

[tono06]

amazon just took my money....
