Clerks (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
I know what you mean I cancelled a load of pre-orders including this because of the amount of titles that got reduced not long after release date.
I suppose thats the beauty of being a collector on certain titles... I kept this one sealed.
So think ill just return it and re-order.

They are constantly dropping the price because sales are horrible. Outside of some Marvel and Disney releases, I bet they are having trouble selling a lot of their steelbook releases lately. Most of these so called "flash sales" and "holiday sales" are sticking around a lot longer than advertised. Zavvi flooded the market with many average steels for many average movies at WAY too high of prices thinking collector's would bite. Most did not. Now they are stuck with thousands of steelbooks people do not want. I see many more price drops to £4.99 in the near future

You pretty much nailed it. I've cancelled all of my pre-orders with Zavvi. If catalogue titles were priced fairly in the first place I wouldn't have a problem with them. But how can you not feel enraged to see a £17.99 to £6.99 price drop in the course of a month? Not even amarays drop this fast!
Yep I can't fault your logic. If you look at the ones that are left and are constantly being shoved in our faces during zavvi sales they are all explainable by poor art or poor film choices (or both). Stuff like Clerks, The Graduate, and Reservoir Dogs should have sold well without resorting to price slashing but they all have terrible art. Crap films like Legend, Shaolin Soccer, Toxic Avenger, and Silent Hill: Revelation shouldn't even be steelbooks.
And yet a decent film with good art like King Kong comes out and it sells out almost immediately. Zavvi really should start to pay more attention to this for the sake of both themselves and the customers. Some might argue that what comes out isn't down to Zavvi, but they MUST see what they are getting from the studios before they commit to buying 4000 copies or whatever. It is up to them to say "That won't sell, give us something else".
Fantastic Four was £4.99 last week now it's £19.99 haha. Anyway I'm going to bite on this at £8.99, bargain I reckon, will sell my US amaray with the slipcover
It will be great, if they could release other Smith's movies like Jay and Silent Bob, Mallrats, Amy or second Clerks 
I want it all!

Yes yes yes, must have all of those!!!! [emoji41]It will be great, if they could release other Smith's movies like Jay and Silent Bob, Mallrats, Amy or second Clerks
It's weird that the only other Kevin Smith movie with a steelbook has been "Red State", no Amy, no Mallrats, no Dogma... I still think he peaked early though with Clerks and the 2nd best effort in my view is not one of his movies, but the documentary about him making Clerks called "The Snowball Effect"... oh yeah, and his 3 "An Evening with..." DVD's - those were awesome!
As good as Clerks is, I think his masterpiece is Chasing Amy, better in every way from acting, writing and direction. Outside of Clerks 2 though his recent output hasn't been brilliant. Red State was ok but Tusk was just terrible. I can understand why he is now going back to Mallrats 2 and Clerks 3. He knows where his bread and butter is.
I really like the first "New Jersey Trilogy" - Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy. In these is Smith in the best form. Jay and Silent Bob is the great blink for fans of those movies and I love it And Clerks 2 is, I think, his looking back at the best times and it's totally worth it. I'm really exiting of the third Clerks and his return back to top
