Ordered 4k.
I do wish, what with Zavvi being the home of Steelbooks and all, that they would once in a blue moon, release a Steelbook of ridiculously limited proportions.
I mean, just think about ordering a random Steelbook on release, for it to go out of stock and be told only 300 copies were available? It would be like finding the Golden Ticket.
What that would do is spark interest in an otherwise sometimes predictable hobby. Over to you @zavvi ...

With Zavvi's buying power they could easily do it, even Entertainment Store managed an initial 500 edition release of Jack Reacher.The problem is as WWA releases are part of a shared run while Zavvi could grab only 300 of a 5000 run and it will technically be limited due to the J-Card the actual Steelbook itself won't be
With a WEA release retailers cant afford to limit it to less than 1000 units due to the cost in producing it
The only way of getting truly limited releases these days are the WWA bells and whistles releases from the likes of Kimchi, HDZeta and the OAB line from Blufans
There have been several runs of 500 copies of WWA steelbooks from Zavvi, e.g., American Made 4K UHD, Gladiator 4K UHD, Despicable Me 3 3D.With Zavvi's buying power they could easily do it, even Entertainment Store managed an initial 500 edition release of Jack Reacher.

Obviously you wouldn't do it with a Marvel release like this, as too many collectors would miss out, but a lesser known title would work.
It would actually drive sales, as many collectors would live in hope of striking lucky.
Print run on Jack Reacher would have been split up between countries world wide.Did they or was it a case with that as a small outfit they couldn't afford to commit to a larger run?
Price has dropped a bit since I ordered this morning.
Roughly €1.30!
I've cancelled and reordered!! Every bit helps!!
Saw this last night... honestly, even as a huge fanboy, I think I've finally become jaded towards the MCU. Was basically a two and a half hour-long action scene, and I became kind of numb to it all halfway through. Some fantastic scenes but it's impossibly huge and totally overindulgent. Nice to finally have some consequences for once, though.
You cannot compare prices of standard non Disney/Marvel Amarays to steelbooks for several reasons. First of all, these are steelbooks, they are never gonna be the same price as Amarays. Secondly its Disney and they charge top dollar because people pay top dollar. Thirdly, if you can show me a preorder of any Disney/Marvel release on UHD that's £20 at release (Incredible Hulk and Spiderman Homecoming aren't Disney by the way) I'd be impressed, they are all £25, some preorders are at £27 so when you factor that in the cost of the steelbook on top then £33 isn't asking the World is it.
It's like saying why pay £25 for a Zavvi Marvel steel with 2d and 3d when the 3d Amaray is about £18 on release? Its exactly the same difference
Finally, no one makes you buy anything let alone steelbooks so if you don't agree with the price, don't pay it. Simple
