Here's something that's made me very happy. From the PR company -

Latest update from Zavvi

Still waiting on finalised artwork.

The finishes are overall matte varnish, except for a spot UV gloss on Mark and Dwayne on the front cover.

There’s a pantone red on their names on the front cover, and emboss on the title treatment.

Confirmed as 1000 units only and from the traffic and questions we are getting, think this will only last a couple of days at the most before selling out.

Im in ofcourse

Regardless of how good the movie is or how many are released, there are always those that will buy just because of the quantity run announced. There is only one way to completely prove that there are only 1000 printed and that would be to have them individually numbered, otherwise no one will know how many were produced. They could state that 500 were made and release 1500. If no one specifically can get them all in one place, here is no way to prove anything.

That is true but at the same time the price will still go higher resale because people always fall for that exclusive low number trick. Easy sales pitch right there

Hell yeah! Great film and with a 1000 print-run, I'm definately going to try and pick this up!

 

[mlmaier84]

Will definitely be picking this one up...HILARIOUS!

 

[davidson]

Great movie and great choice for a steel. 1k print run? Interesting, hope they don't jack up the price though.

 

[snooloui]

World War Z is numbered, so it's possible this will be too.

 

[darczap]

I'll probably get it but please, don't get an October release date. This should not be more than £17.99 like Olympus Has Fallen. If it is like the price of Iron Man 3, I will think twice.

 

[carllenc]

awesome

World War Z is numbered, so it's possible this will be too.

Thought the WWZ numbering was something that Entertainment Store themselves had arranged (As they tried to do it on Star Trek but didn't have time)? So not sure if Zavvi will be prepared to put in the same effort.

Though I would be pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong.

 

[ocielz]

Glad I waited for this Movie

 

[Jericho]

The other 3000 to another country then ?..

Quite likely. I know there was talk of a Czech release and they seem to always share with other countries. So it's a multi country effort to release one title it appears

Don't know how accurate this is but the amaray release date is December 23, 2013 according to Sainsbury's.

I'm glad ES didn't get this! Zavvi may actually (and hopefully) be cheaper

Hopefully, but i'm not convinced.And Zavvi's new packaging is a worry with something so limited.

 

[manutd123]

I just hope i can get dvd, digital copy etc with the release, for the money, UK tends to get painfully little.

Kudos to FS, most of their steelies, Cars 2, Nemo etc. came with digital copy etc.

 

[kenny222]

I've never seen the draw of low print runs. The only reason it's an issue is if people are planing on reselling. Aside from that its just a number. Still terrific film and hope the artwork is nice and not lazy.

 

[Noodles]

Loved this film... one of Bay's best IMO. Really hope I don't miss out on this!

 

[tommyh84]

Initially thought this film looked crap but then saw a trailer when we went to see Kick Ass 2 which was really quite funny so I'm in for this

As a side note it's sad people are interested in this steel based on the edition size alone

I agree, i was pleasantly surprised with this movie, wasnt expecting much from it but it's great

 

[biglee]

Loved the film so lets hope for a great steel ,might be quickest finger to buy 1000 ouch

 

[DJ IXS]

Limited to 1000! I guess they're finally learning.
