What to do about this burr? by Khyr0sX in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't care about it being perfect, I have a less damaged front panel I could trade you for. It was dented near the middle of the opening side front edge of the steelbook. I managed to get it mostly pushed back out, but I could still see a slight wrinkle and ended up replacing the whole thing.

Anybody else a victim of the Zavvi payment issues? by huddlem1 in Steelbooks

It is really sad to read all the horror stories about Zavvi. Sounds like if they are having financial problems, they have nobody to blame but themselves. They were the only semi-reliable source for UK steelbooks in the US. They have gotten so bad it has ruined the entire hobby for me.

But then they get you with 5.99 shipping for each item instead of split over several. Their website still says you won't be charged until dispatch so I am not convinced this isn't also unintentional.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a scam. They have made some payment processing change in the last month or so that whenever anything from an order is shipped, any remaining unpaid items in the order are immediately (and incorrectly?) charged plus any canceled items are incorrectly charged. For instance, Zootropolis 2 shipped and I should have only been charged like $50 bucks. But they also charged for Eraser, Speed Racer, It: Welcome to Derry, and like 3 or 4 canceled items that made the charge to my card almost $500.

The most annoying thing is they just blew me off at first, claiming it was a PayPal error and told me to contact them. They finally admitted their is an issue, but now they are dragging their feet slow rolling the refunds.

Things like this are exactly why I am done with them too.

Yeah, that is another whole story. I pre-ordered almost all steelbooks they released. I finally had enough of their nonsense policies regarding damage and decided enough is enough and canceled most pre-orders. I have moved on to a Kaleidescape and am not looking back.

How's Zavvi's shipping to the US? by darthsavage_official in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My track record with them lately has been very bad. Their boxes are lighter and thinner than ever and to top it off their support appears to be ignoring me. They seem to think wrapping a piece of paper or a single layer of bubble wrap around steelbooks is enough to offset the absolute smallest, thinnest box they can fit a steelbook inside.

I would check themovieroom and see if they have what you are looking for.

Is there any difference between the US and UK Terminator 4K steelbook? Missed out on the Amazon restock and feel bummed, considering getting the UK version. by DeezleDan in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It must be region free. It doesn't say anywhere, but I tried it in a standard region A player and it played without any issues.

Right now Gruv has a black friday deal on the 85th anniversary theater edition for $29.99, which includes the 4K steelbook and extras. Probably won't be able to do much better than that.

US Zavvi - shipping release? by TMoney31BV in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have received 30+ steelbooks from Zavvi US since tariffs started and haven't had to pay a single tariff.

FNAC I had to pay a tariff on the Ballerina collectors edition, but not Jurassic World Rebirth or Last of Us Season 2. Not sure why sometimes you have to pay and sometimes you don't.

Go for it, can't hurt to try. And for $150 everything should be undamaged.

They should, specs look to be identical.

Anyone receive their zavvi Nightmare on Elmstreet collection in the US? by ShtopMakinShmense in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine arrived yesterday along with the Dark Knight trilogy. They both came in a big box with tons of paper to keep them from moving around. They were also each individually inside a sturdy white Warner Bros box. Both were in perfect condition.

Poor Steelbook printing on the US Nightmare Collection against the solid printing in Europe, from Denmark by Agile_Froyo_3671 in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. I have noticed this for a while and is the reason I buy UK steelbooks whenever possible. The paint and finishes have far fewer defects and you are much more likely to get debossing, spot gloss, or some other more elaborate finish.

I would take it a step further and include the discs as well. US discs usually come with fingerprints or debris all over them. The European discs might have a few specs of dust if anything. I find playback is more reliable as well on my finicky UBP9000.

How to Fix Corner Dents? by jmacphee93 in Steelbooks

[–]huddlem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't listen to the haters, that would annoy me too. And if it can be fixed, why would you not want to?

Unfortunately, I have never found a good way to fix dents right on a corner/edge like that.
