IM3 was a worldwide release in lots countries and only difference was the inclusion of 3D Disc and Jcards been different
The Steelbook itself was not exclusive to Zavvi as it was produced for worldwide market with Zavvi just getting the exclusive retail part for the UK

They did not hide print run for Jungle Book and The Little Mermaid
They did disclose the print run
Originally Planned to be 5,000 both sold out very quickly so they increased to both 10,000 each as a result of both original 5,000 selling out
This information has been known about from the start
As a result of doing this they did not sell as they expected and resulted in selling a lot of the additional 5,000 print runs at reduced prices

After this error in judgement they decided never to make that mistake again
After this Disney Steelbook were reduced to 4,000 and latest releases to 3,000

You can expect the Max print run of Who Framed Roger Rabbit will be 4,000 as this is the standard print run scanavo want for a release with an exception to allowing 3,000 were its the only release happening

The 1,000 and 2,000 print runs are different as these end up getting another release in other countries and the overall total then reaches the 4,000 scanavo require

not all fact, but close enough....

Zavvi have been very quick to point out print runs. 4k, 5k, 6k.
Maleficent, Cap Am TWS, GotG, to name a few.
If this is only 4k, why have they not touted it?
I don't believe this is a 4k run. I'm certain Zavvi would have made it known if it was.
IMO

 

[Jango]

imo zavvi don't know the print run yet, i bet they look how the preorder sales work out and adjust the printrun to it.

 

[ALICEINC]

Was hoping for different artwork Will still look good next to the original zavvi steel !!

Sold out for now. I don't think this was a print run of more than 4k, I can't see this selling out with a print run of more than 4k and even that is pushing it. I just wish Zavvi had done something MORE special than just changing the front, at least have a numbered slip or something to make this stand out from all the rest.

And why celebrate a 2 year anniversary anyway ? what significance does that mean? why wasn't this released as a 1 year anniversary or why not wait until a nice round 5th year anniversary ?

Anyway, I've pre-ordered for now, I just hope Zavvi don't celebrate the Spine Slashers 2 year anniversary as well, the original release was plagued with some of the most horrendous spine slashes in steelbook history, second only to Amazons Skyfall disaster...

Because Zavvi are staunch opportunists that's why.

[JackRegan]

Although maybe not, as that was released March 25th 2013...

Exactly, and Zavvi alerts didn't send anything in regard to this one - I got an alert form a rival site

But, if you had read correctly, I asked Zavvi in answer to a request from another member - which was prior to any announcement whatsoever. When I posted Zavvi's reply, I, like everyone else, was aware of when this was going live.
What I was doing, was quite simply highlighting Zavvi's incompetence.

 

[IRON MAN]

Some posts were moved to the retailer thread here. Thanks for staying on topic folks.

 

[Acalica917]

Zavvi sell-outs happen for the following reasons:

1) Zavvi is lying to create demand. If buyers fall for it then it's not Zavvi's problem.
2) There are way more people who like the Steelbook privately than those who badmouth it publicly.
3) People badmouth Zavvi and the release secretly trying to discourage demand so they can buy copies with no problem. Killing the hype increases the chances of acquiring one or multiple copies later on.

Or, in my personal opinion, the most logical explanation:

4) Zavvi's computer system updates really slow.

 

[Starling]

...or don't decide the print run until after judging the demand from pre-orders.

 

[lgans316]

I have got a brilliant idea to make this look better. It is very easy to implement. All it takes is just 3 words and 1 mod. Happy days. [emoji6]

So this is a big FU to all buyers of the earlier edition... Well at least anyone who orders it will get a unique set of Zavvi-exclusive dents to go with it!

 

[Nightbreed1984]

Okay I don't see the significance of a '2 year celebration', but I don't think this an FU to folks who bought the earlier version. If anything it's a blessing to those that missed out on the last one and don't fancy paying silly money via a third party seller.

I don't think it's that bad. This version is much uglier than the red one IMHO Didn't stop me from double dipping. Plus I'm a sucker for mystery boxes so I grabbed one of those also with the discount.
