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.

1000 ? are you sure?

 

[Starling]

Wowzaaaa! Now that's got my attention.

Wouldn't surprise me if 1k was accurate. Zavvi have noticed that none of their steelbooks are selling out (barring the early animated ones) and don't really want to sell them on the cheap, as even with massive price drops some of them haven't sold out.

Solution? Have fewer stock that will then be snapped up at full price.

 

[Flloydo]

This is one that interests me

 

[digitalbabe]

1000 ? are you sure?

Yes, we have been told the UK is getting 1000, and that's it. If we receive other info, we will post,as always.

Loved the movie. Totally impressed with it. Hope they don't laze out and use the crappy protein powder art.

 

[mams]

The other 3000 to another country then ?..

 

[cooey]

Oooooh yes, this will be an instant purchase

Agree, but I think a better solution wld be better film selection, multiple discs and higher quality finishing :movie:

will be around 25gbp i suppose then

The first hour of this movie was a true pain, but thankfully the last hour gained more action ().

Hang your head. In shame. You don't want to Gain a reputation for inflicting that kind of Pain on people.

This was one film i missed at the cinema which is a shame because i heard it was pretty enjoyable. 1k run for UK is extremely small, probably will sell out very fast...Until Zavvi find the other 3k knocking about at the back of the warehouse.

 

[snooloui]

Interesting. I guess this will be the same artwork Worldwide as it is a Paramount release, but it would be great if Zavvi had pulled off something great and got WEA. I suppose the price will probably be £22.99/£23.99 as it is the top end of Zavvi's pricing scale.

Mark Kermode (sp?) really hated this film - he used words like "offensive" and "disgusting" during his bbc tv review lol

 

[lgans316]

Always been a fan of Michael Bay's flicks irrespective of how bad it is and will definitely get this provided it is priced right.

 

[hoppusdelonge]

Really hope I don't miss out on this, one of my favourite films of the year

Kermode just voices his opinion, and in my opinion he's wrong most of the time
