Sorry for the late reply Rammy.Yeah I know its an overseas order service I use.I was lucky in getting it.Your HMV exclusive may have better extras.The other release date I had was the 4th of October.
This is the hmv exclusive Wonder Woman Steelbook I’ve pre-ordered

All hmv’s Wonder Woman blu-Ray releases & dvds are out on 9th October including a limited edition exclusive film book Blu-ray
Nice work bud,the box and artwork on yours looks better if I'm honest.Mine is the standard blu ray card/plastic box combo.

Just got another good one,Who's Affraid Of Virginia Wolf?(1966)£10 from McColl's.
Utterly absorbing verbal trade offs between Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor but the toxic games they play hide a deep heartbreak.

RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
Another animated recommendation,The Red Turtle(2017)
I snapped this up at £10 from Granger Games.
A Studio Ghibli take on a nameless character that is basically Robinson Crusoe,who attempts to flee his desert island prison but is constantly stopped by the titular character.Disappointing extras but the film is brilliant.
Extras :
Featurette on writer/director Michaël Dudok de Wit

RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
The third title I bought was Colossal(2017)
£8 from B & M Bargains
No extras at all unfortunately but still a great film with a terrific cevtrak performance from Anne Hathaway as an alcoholic trying to get her life back together whilst discovering that her inner struggle is connected to a giant monster that is attacking Seoul.

RE: Blu Ray Recommendations
Snapped up Lord of the Flies(1963)only £8 from Home Bargains.
The definitive adaptation of William Golding's classic novel directed by Peter Brooks gets the full Criterion treatment in terms of extras and a beautifully restored transfer which makes the director's semi documentary shooting technique look even more effective.
Extras :
Audio commentary
Feauturettes
Deleted scenes
Essay

Having already directed the Tennessee Williams play on stage,Elia Kazan had no problem adapting it for the big screen.Wonderful performances al round and as raw today as it was upon its first release.
Extras :
Audio commentary
Featurettes
Outtakes
Screen test
Collectable booklet
