Yikes, that's why I never have steelbooks shipped. I have mine scheduled for in store pickup on Tuesday.

ugh, that sucks Deck. sorry.

Thanks. No biggie, they're already shipping me a replacement. At least it came before it came out in stores so it was in time for me to get a replacement one before they all sold out.

I always prefer in store pick up, but Best buy never offers that at first, and it's annoying. You have to get lucky and find out when they offer store pick up and still have your store available. I've been lucky where the only bad ones I received were a dent in the corner of Hateful 8, though that was months after initial release so I think may have been a restock explaining the damage, and Moana had some minor paint chips which annoyed me initially but I got over quickly.

I also find it tough to change to ship to store after already preordered, but that may be user error...

I have the upcoming spiderman and Pirates on preorder ship, so hoping for the best.

Target is the worst where almost all of their exclusives have dents when you receive them in the mail.

Tomorrow is going to be an expensive day with both Kong Skull Island and Resident Evil Vendetta coming out. Two 4K steelbooks in one day!

Only expensive if one purchases both of those titles.

I want the Resident Evil Vendetta one but I'm trying to tell myself I don't need that ugly ass cover (and just wait for the plain 4k to go down to ~$15). We'll see what happens.

I picked up both today. The Kong steelbook looks a hell of a lot better between the two, but the Resident Evil one reminds me of the old Walmart RE steelbooks. It's good to see that the disc got good reviews too. The 4K disc has Dolby Vision, HDR, and Atmos. Now all I need is a 4K TV and player

It might be for the best that you're not feeling a giant black fist.

I love the artwork as a general concept but it doesn't fit the movie at all.

I get that they're going for a Nazi propaganda theme and all, but they made it way too Pop Art-y for my taste. Pass.

I felt the same way about the Wanted BB SB and its ilk. Returned it.

I guess I'm the only one who digs the Starship Troopers steelbook. I think it's fairly clever actually, a lot better than many of the other exclusive arts they have been putting out lately or all of the covers with the single huge actor covering the whole thing.

Anyone else get this error when trying to add Ghost in the Shell 4K Steelbook to their BB cart? Talk about defeating the purpose of a preorder!

"Sorry, the selected fulfillment type is not available."

Nopers, did it this morning (like 6am) for store pickup and it went through just peachy. I'll probably pick it up Friday.

In for WW. I guess I'll stand alone, the Guardians 2 one is hideous. Just give me Awesome Mix 2 to go with the first one.

If the internal art was the cover/back, I'd definitely be getting Wonder Woman but as it stands, I hate that artwork.
