I've been lucky enough to get, or find, mint copies of all BB releases so far, but this one item may be a problem. The copies on eBay don't look mint. Hope I find a good copy at some point, somewhere.
Add to that, they put those spider anti theft things on them in stores,and those will put a small dent wherever they come in contact (in most cases). I returned 2 today got one, but i’ll probably order 2 more and keep the best of the bunch.I've been lucky enough to get, or find, mint copies of all BB releases so far, but this one item may be a problem.

So you got one from eBay, then?Add to that, they put those spider anti theft things on them in stores,and those will put a small dent wherever they come in contact (in most cases). I returned 2 today got one, but i’ll probably order 2 more and keep the best of the bunch.
For the record, the ones I ordered directly were in a reasonably sized box. One had an air cushion the other did not. Both had pretty badly dented corners.
I just ordered 2 more online. Will see if any arrive in descent condition. Requested a return for my first order, but will hold off on returning it since I paid about $78 for that one. The box sets aren't discounted $15 anymore. Would rather return my new order, than the cheaper copy.Yeah that might be a tough task with Best Buy having limited stock in store

Hi all posting here for visibility - all my special sourced boxes and some of the late arrival sets were delivered next door by accident last night. (at first they didn’t believe me! it's a business next door, but still, it was addressed to me)
Btw most hunger games boxes have very tiny corner dings but are ok overall.
This is what your set will look like packed up. Sturdy box, a little more low profile and this example set has three layers of bubble wrap.

Thanks Andy for your diligence. Will you be posting up so to speak the shipping invoices soon ?
I've got a busy weekend ahead with family things so right now I'm targeting the weekend following to get things going and invoices sent.
No I got it from Best Buy (and returned both of those copies and took one of the ones from the store). I may look at other stores tomorrow and see if there's a better copy (and/or order 2 by mail and see what happens).So you got one from eBay, then?
Question please: the slashes are on the SteelBooks or on the outside box?hi all, I've added my five extras to the group buy, but turns out they have spine slashes. I'm offering them here FIRST instead of returning, for those that want a copy no matter what. Slash should be faint, but it is there, on a couple of these.
ONLY PURCHASE IF YOU ARE OK WITH THESE SLASHES.
For those that were part of the original group buy, I have secured you copies without slashes, even if the boxes have slight damage in some cases.
Thanks
Shotgun one of the sets with the least corner dents! Hahahi all, I've added my five extras to the group buy, but turns out they have spine slashes.

if it is on the outside box, I thin will be OK.
Many thanks Andy for the detailed description, really helpful!They are on the steelbooks. Someone in the warehouse at best buy used a knife when opening the case from Lionsgate.
Out of the five sets, maybe a couple of them aren't as bad since it's a slight slash on maybe 2 out of the 4 steelbooks.
But it's a silver slash on black so you'll see it. If you've seen a slash, you've seen them all.
I won't be getting any more extras and feel fortunate that I had just enough to cover all the original 30 group buy members.
Maybe, how knows, Andy will still be able to order some more later on (although he said will not, and I know he does not order when the product is already released because will not be sent from warehouse), and maybe will be better... if not...
