  1. Thanks for the pics!  I ended up buying from FNAC and looks like they are the exact same steelbooks, just with bluray instead of 4k discs.  Also have some scratches on back of chamber of secrets, but rest are great so can't complain.  Wish you luck with the replacements!

     

    It will be interesting how/if the retailers replace the Deathly (Deaithly) Hallows part 1 in each set.  Pretty amazing that WB quality control didn't catch it.

  2. Ecstatic about this Harry Potter Fnac steelbook collection!  As seen in the picture below FNAC double boxed it, and outer case is in phenomenal condition.  English titles on spine, on steelbooks, and on outer metal box.  The only French I notice is on the J card and on the actual blu ray discs.  Matte finish I believe with spot gloss as well. Can't tell exactly the finish but certain parts of each case shimmer.  Blurays play in my US bluray player, as a bonus as I definitely didn't buy this for the blurays.  Back in stock on FNAC as well, but probably not for long.  Definitely worth it!

  3. Just shipped today.  Probably will have french titles, but total cost came out to 76 US dollars.  Of note, this was ordered with a few other preorders so shipping is lower than usual, but even if purchased alone it was only around 90 dollars total.  8 steelbooks and a case for that price was hard to pass up (even if it is only bluray).  Should be here by Monday.

  4. TOC pin placement is terrible.  Who really thought it would be a good idea to place the pins above the steelbook in the plastic, just so they can fall down in transit and dent the steelbook.  Thanks TOC for my 4 pin marks on the Clockwork Orange steelbook.  

     

    I also knew as soon as I saw that FNAC sent the Black Widow steelbook and TOC A Clockwork Orange together that it might not be pretty.  Both just floating in the same box banging around. Amazingly Black Widow only has small corner ding.  In addition to my pin dents, FNAC also blessed me with a dented in side (not pictured)to the Clock Work Orange steelbook.

     

    Word to the wise, if you order from FNAC try to preorder items that come out different weeks apart.  If not then expect damaged items in transit. If ordered that way each will be sent in an individual box with a much better chance to arrive safely.  Have had mostly good experiences from FNAC (with individual items), but should have remembered that FNAC has never heard of bubble wrap.

  5. I would add a 4th thing to the list.  Do I purchase the European or USA version?  Seems like the past year the European versions are mostly matte and the US versions are mainly gloss.  Unfortunately, by the time you find out the finish it might be sold out.  Decisions, decisions...
