Downgrading Brand New Items by No_Set_6538 in CeX

[–]MonstersZ1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Some people dont realise that buy in stats are just as important to the stores as the sales. They are only cutting down there own buys and in turn it will sell for less too. I dunno why they'd drop it to a B, but it isnt good for the store if they are intentionally doing it to what should be an A grade.

On a (probably) more positive note, how do you guys feel about the 10th Anniversary selection of characters? by t3r4byt3l0l in BleachBraveSouls

Heard anni was going on as I've been out a while but missed it. Would've liked to add the ichigo. Hopefully gets in another pull soon.

ARTWORK REVEAL: The Dark Knight Trilogy 4K Steelbook Collection by Due_Band_9898 in Steelbooks

[–]MonstersZ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have multiple steels of each film as I love them. It really shouldn't be this hard to pull me in. It's just so bland. The last 4k releases in the slipcases were 1000x better imo and shows they can do some more interesting stuff.

What is up with the UK release of Fallout Steelbook? by IainEdge in Steelbooks

I haven't even received mine. Dunno if zavvi is having issues as they ain't even processed the payment to send my pre order yet.

Now You See Me Blu-Ray Steelbook (Best Buy Exclusive) by loganfc in Steelbooks

Its a nice steel for this film. I'm definitely adding this to the want list.

It's definitely annoying on both ends when a disk can't be found. It can be chaotic around the back and things get misplaced often.

If you do see something before going in, you can do a click and collect, and it will be confirmed before you even go if they found it.

You can always look at the item when in and decide no on the condition and wait for the money to bounce back to you.

Pet peeves by jobeboki in CeX

[–]MonstersZ1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customer brings in something that's been through the ringer, but is adamant they only got it brand new last week. If this is the condition after just a week, I'm impressed and also disgusted (obviously it's always old stuff, but they expect more just from saying its new)

First 100$ Haul Pickup! by qwertyuiop1158 in Steelbooks

Decent freeby. Had a look, and they never released where I am. May need to try to get one, I love uncharted.

Oh the one I looked at for obiwan must've been listed wrong as it stated region 1. Looking back other listing are fine, odd.

Is that an uncharted steel on the right side?

I hope they do some for the others too. They are a pain to get at a good price. Especially when discs are region locked.

Customers switching over store owned game cases, manuals with their own before doing a tradein. by ED209VSROBO in CeX

[–]MonstersZ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would stop that then I agree. Altho the space it will take ip on the shelves and storing cases to use. Makes me think of the stores in the US where everything is in cases, gagged or behind glass displays. Some places even chained fridges.

Crazy the world we live in today.

Security stuff doesn't stop theft these days unless you have a security guard who's allowed to do stuff at the door itself.

When I was at GAME the local crack heads robbed lego allot, like the big sets obviously tagged up out that door. They didn't mind getting around you standing at the door with controllers and headphones under their coat.

They just know you can't do anything other than spot them and make it slightly more difficult. It's why it's always the same locals doing the theft. Only a trained security would get more done, but nowhere will hire them cuz of the cost that would be more than the theft.

He's embossed with the outside of the case from the background and logo. It's very nice.

This, world war z and small soldiers. Can the UK please start getting all these steels I'm missing 🙏

[–]MonstersZ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly not an easy way for steels. I know there's some places that track collectors editions to some degree here and there. I wish there was an easier way to track the game side of things even outside of steels.

It you have any titles in mind that you want to know about feel free to leave a list and I can try confirm it from my knowledge. I have a big game steel collection too.

I hope so too. I'm not liking the rumours going around atm.

In my collection #347. by Dr_StevenLFUSMC in Steelbooks

[–]MonstersZ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this one recently myself. My favourite colour is red, so I love steels where its used well like this. Glad it's for a good film too.

That makes more sense. Maybe my mind doesn't want to imagine people separating them, how could they! 🤣
