Still no sign of this, I hope I won't have to deal with zavvis customer service ...

I pinged them a quick email, but got the standard "got to wait 14 days" before they will do anything

Got 1 of my 2 Little Mermaids in the mail yesterday. I do like the cover in hand. Haven't opened it yet and taken a look at the back and inside with my own eyes, but we'll get there eventually.

Also to note, the spine is pristine. The shrink wrap around it is even nearly perfect smooth as if to say "no slasher here"

My copy arrived yesterday .. is beautiful but inside I was expecting a richer art works.

Got my copy yesterday. I was expecting a very drab cover but I actually like it. The light rays have a metallic effect that really makes them glow when the light hits them just right. The inner and back art are so-so but that's been the trend with the recent Disney releases it seems.

Got the first of the my two yesterday (shipped same day, but whatever). No dents + no spine slash = me happy

 

[KazuyaGon]

Received mine yesterday too and in excellent condition! Still sad about the lack of a good artwork, but I love the front cover

My copy arrived today and it has one of the worst dents I have ever seen.

my copy came as well today, surprised as I am in the US and they have been taking longer.

The box had a dent but luckily no damage, but I did not notice a difference with the box only the foam piece was thinner.

As to the steelbook it is kind of plain, may have to pop into target on tuesday and get the digi

The cardboard of the box is thinner and doesn't have the zip opening anymore.

maybe I got one of the older ones I had not noticed the difference honestly

Still not got mine. I would normally be patient but it infuriates me when I see people in every state around me get theirs and my mail box is continuously empty. And this is a normal thing now so Im not worried about it being lost, just cant understand the routing process as Im always last to get my stuff in the US from Zavvi.

Received my copy of The Little Mermaid.

I still think the front has really good artwork (by far my favourite Zavvi Disney steel so far), and I also quite like the simplicity. What kills it for me is that damn vertical logo that pretty much takes the attention off the lovely (albeit non-glossy) artwork.

I actually don't mind the simplicity on the back. I am happy Zavvi didn't smack some all-stars mockup artwork thingy on it, but chose to be CONSISTENT with the front artwork, which is what a lot of people here seemed to want originally.

What I do not like about the back, is how lazy and one-dimentional it looks. I would have been happy with a background like the one on the front with smaller bubbles, that would have made it more consistent. I admire simplicity in a steelbook, as it is the opposite of what you see on most covers. But simplicity is more than one thing. That's what bothers me. You don't get the sea on the back, you get a plain blue background with a few bubbles stuck on it.

This release is also consistent with the low quality I've seem on steelbooks of late. It's got a bunch of ugly paint defects that looks like purple bubbles. It's disappointing how they didn't to do the release without those defects, but fortunately they printed a bunch of these steels so getting a replacement (If I can be bothered going through that process) shouldn't be that hard.

Weird mine hasn't arrived yetthey usually arrive under 9 days might be my first lost zavvi steel

 

[DrH]

Mine is now back with them.
Now waiting to see how long replacement will take

Anyone else get these strange paint streaks at the bottom right? Don't know if you can see it in the picture.

I just looked at mine and there are no streaks.

 

[adrenaline78]

Mine arrived today. Very disappointed. It has a spine slash.. and it's underneath the plastic wrap.. Have any of you USA folks had to message zavvi regarding this, and how did they handle it?

 

[GenPion]

Write a note to them if it arrives damaged. They will at least offer a partial refund if you can show pics of the damage, and if it's deemed 'bad enough' by customer support you probably will get a replacement, which I'm sure you want given a spine slash. Use the 'contact us' part of their website to send an e-mail.
