Has it been established what retailer is going to have the Deadpool steelbook?

Zavvi & they have sold out, but knowing them, they will get them back in stock.

I had an ordering experience only Deadpool would appreciate. There was a special price if you ordered the steelbook and their ZBox "killer" themed box (think nerdbox, loot crate) but they didn't give me the discount - £8 or 9 - so I messaged them asking them not to charge or dispatch the box until they tell me what is up. They told me there had been a mistake & that they would refund me the difference if it's OK to dispatch it now? During the time waiting for a response, I looked at videos seeing what is in the the box & I had the DP kills the MU tpb, the only item I cared about was the Chucky plush & still that looked cheap as hell so I decided to cancel. They said fine, but they had already sent it out & charged me WITHOUT my permission. I refused it
Then by mistake, I canceled the Deadpool steelbook and their customer service is hoorendous, not able to respond to more than one question at a time

How about in the United States?
There has to be a US retailer that will have them, since it is a US movie.

I'm sure Best Buy will. They seem have one for every new major release.

I don't usually do steelbooks, but this one is pretty lovely so I just pre-ordered it from Zavvi. I'm very much looking forward to watching the movie in it's newly restored condition also...

Already up for pre order. My local BB sells out quick so I usually pre order for pick up.

I was going to get the DP steelbook but boring cover so will save money and get the regular slip cover one.

I like the steelbook design more, with just the logo. I was going to hold off on pre-ordering the steelbook and just run and get it after work. I thought it would be like the Star wars Steelbooks, still in stock. But I decided to pre-order anyways and I am sure glad i did. It sold out in Wisconsin by early afternoon. When I went to get my disc, a lot of guys were crying that they missed them.

However, Bestbuy really needs to work on their customer service. They had 5 people behind the customer service desk and there was only me and one other lady being helped. After waiting for over 20 minutes the rep helping the one lady finally called for another rep to help me. How hard is it to hand an already bought movie to someone, seriously? The only time I go to that terrible store anymore is for these steelbooks. That is probably why they do them, otherwise they would have no business.

My one complaint is how they packaged the regular disc inside. It was put in a sleeve. Like they forgot to put two disc holders in the case, and just threw it into a paper sleeve. Kind of odd.
