It took approximately 1 year to be finally be sold out
But you will still see this listed as available to buy from third party sellers on other websites and I would not be surprised if zavvioutlet have it on the odd occasion

This was officially originally a sold out release but they then decided to increase the print run which was a big mistake
They never should have taken the decision to go with 10,000 they should have stayed with the original 4,000 or 5,000
They should have stayed with the original run that was sold out or only increase by 1,000 like they did with Aladdin

Its a nice steelboook I ordered mine day one it went live and had delivery on release day
Its one of Disney's films I like a lot

If it had of been a full gloss finish it would have been a lot better though

When Zavvi planned this release they should have kept with the original print run and they would not have ended up making a loss

Who says they are making a loss on it?

To go from the original selling price of £22 down to £9... That's a HUGE loss bud. After all, this IS a Disney title. Zavvi isn't making much money off of these as they would with regular catalog titles.

It is officially Sold Out !!!!!

Not really, I just bought one for £10.99 off the Zavvi Outlet on Play.

My order from 19th still shows as processing yet money has left my account pronto.

I doubt if there are making a loss, if they were the output of Disney steelbooks would have decreased not increased........

Its only Jungle Book and the Little Mermaid they made the mistake with
They saw how quick they sold out at 5000 and decided to increase the print run

They overestimated the demand and had no choice to sell of cheaply they needed to get some return on their order even if it means just breaking even
No return of unsold stock to supplier that's the risk of taking an exclusive if you get it right its good business if you get it wrong you get stung
If you don't sell out a release your and your left with a lot of stock you must reduce to clear your stock levels
If you buy wrong it cant hurt your business
Only exception with an exclusive is with Arrow Video were an agreement is in place when Zavvi cant sell out

They did not make the same mistake with any of the other Disney releases and that's why you don't see them selling off the other Disney titles for £9.99

At one point they were literally giving these away for £0 + free to £0.99 shipping. Thats definitely taking a loss

Christ, saw not 1 but 2 of these plus a Little Mermaid steel in CeX today for £10 each.

Zavvi really did order too many huh? XD

 

[UpsetSmiley]

Kinda wish I grabbed one of these when they were £7.99. Ordered one last year from Zavvi Outlet with paint chips and a spine slash. The front is superb, but the back is disappointing, which is pitting it kindly. I doubt they'll never disappear from eBay though

Was pleasantly surprised with the image quality on the disc. Very nice indeed. One of my childhood favourites.
