So, the Steelbooks arrived today. (had to reorder them, due to an error with my new address. Would have gotten them on saturday otherwise)
Shipping is insane fast. Just one day.
Both steels come without srinkwrap, so they are basically naked.
However, despite my worries after realizing this, both seem like new. (one of them has a minor scratch on the bottom, when viewed under sunlight/flashlight.)
Personally, I'm content as it is. Yeah, getting them srinkwraped would have been better, but that's nothing G2G can do about.
Packaging was very much decent I would say. They came in a small, almost G2 sized box, with filler material inside, so that both steels couldn't jump around in it. The steels themselves were wraped in bubblewrap, so scratches should be reduced to a minimum.
So Yeah, overall I'm really satisfied with my purchase.
This certainly saves me the trouble of buying the steelbook edition and re-sell the game on eBay.
PS: Have to say: The design is blatant boring. The ornaments on it's corners would have gained much from an embossed effect. But they look totally flat as is.
PPS: Just opened my Mortal Kombat movie steelbook (the new steel with both old films) and it came scratched + a little dent right out of the foil. Considering this, my RE Village steels are in perfect condition -.-
(gonna buy another copy of it, once it droped in price...)
