JBAU have added The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes [AU$44.98] SteelBook Edition to their Pre-order page. Due for release on February 14th.
I expect that it will be the one shown on Post #3172615
I stated in my Wonka SteelBook artwork post #3172617 that there was no news on an Australia/NZ release, but of course the SteelBook option had already been added to the JBAU Pre-order page.
Also added is Silent Night [AU$39.98], a John Woo action/revenge film due for release on February 14th.

LEVIATHAN (1989) • Release Date: February 20th
4K Ultra HD (Region Free) & Blu-ray (Region A Locked)
Availability: Not yet available at Amazon US.
Plunge into this go-for-the-jugular sci-fi thriller starring Peter Weller and Richard Crenna and featuring non-stop action, nerve-shattering suspense and awesome creatures by special-effects legend Stan Winston. On the dark and forbidding ocean floor, the crew of a deep-sea mining rig discovers a sunken freighter that harbors a deadly secret: a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong. With a storm raging on the surface and no hope of rescue, the captain (Weller) and his team are propelled into a spine-tingling battle for survival against the ultimate foe—a hideous monster that cannot die...and lives to kill. Directed by George P. Cosmatos from a script by David Webb Peoples and Jeb Stuart, Leviathan is a gripping and imaginative thrill ride that will leave you gasping for air…and clawing for the surface! Featuring Amanda Pays, Daniel Stern, Ernie Hudson, Michael Carmine, Lisa Eilbacher, Hector Elizondo, Meg Foster and music by Jerry Goldsmith.

Glad to see you picked up Robocop for a great deal, Movieman 👍
I placed an order wth Rarewares, for Robocop, An American Werewolf in London and Goonies. Goonies was a great deal at NZD$22 but the others were OTT. I received a new registration voucher of 5GBP and shipping was also reasonable - on a par with JB AU.
Wasn’t previously aware until recently, that outlets restock titles without notice, but am now keeping an eye out for this.
Cheers!
I got an email from Arrow Video to say that they were sorry that they hadn't shipped Robocop and True Romance and when I checked on their website later, they were no longer available. The very same day, I got another email stating that my order had shipped 😁.When I was deciding on my order, I almost bought Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves which was £15 the same as the other two, but I decided against it. When I logged in again, it had gone back to £25 🙄.
I am registered with Rarewaves, but I haven't bought anything from them yet. Maybe I should take a look. I'll make a new post advising members of Rarewaves who seem to be a decent alternative to Zavvi and HMV who don't ship outside of Europe anymore.

RAREWAVES UK Physical Media online store and they ship to NZ.
I recently registered with Rarewaves UK who, among other things, ship Vinyl, Books and 4K Ultra HD physical media worldwide. I haven't placed an order yet, but they are a good source for 4K Ultra HD releases that are not available here. Members report that their after sales service is very good and the few orders that have "gone missing" have been re-sent with the minimum of fuss. Some arriving before or after the replacement 😁.
If anyone is interested in importing from Rarewaves, I advise you to read their Delivery section before placing an order. Shipping is £6.40 per order and I don't think that they include GST or customs fees. (I may be wrong).

The website seems a bit flaky. I can't get past the first page of 4k blurays.
I'm getting a slight pause, but it is eventually going to the next page. I do remember having the same trouble that you are having once before. Keep trying.
EDIT: I got to page 5 then it wouldn't go any further 😕
