- Thread starter eLviS1987
- Start date
My question is who is getting the other 3000 of these to make the complete order from Scanavo?:jawdrop:
Some guy called Abby Normal is getting the other 3000

The MCM Expo is a very busy convention, but mainly for teenage cosplayers and anime fans.
Had Zavvi decided to release an anime exclusive, I could guarantee it would've sold out over the weekend. Will they sell 1000 'Young Frankenstein' steelbooks? Honestly I doubt it, as it's not the right market. They would've been better off doing the London Film & Comic-Con (ran by Showmasters) as they feature a more diverse crowd.

Hmmmm might pop down tomorrow since it is only two stops from work but £15 entry fee just to get this need to know how much it will cost to buy.
Ditto - Was thinking of taking the afternoon off work tomorrow and dropping down, but not sure I'll be able to
Right bought a ticket & will go tomorrow. If I can I'll get some extras.
Bit of a p*** take it's only at the convention. I mean they better give us another Young Frankenstein Steelbook for the store.
It's a little unfair...
UK Exclusive? More like London exclusive.

A rather hefty kick in the ball-sack for anyone who is unable to go to Comic Con this weekend. I don't really understand what Zavvi hope to gain from this, aside from pissing off even more of their faltering customer base. They are hardly doing anyone a favour by limiting where and when these can be obtained, and I bet the show will be full of scalpers looking to cash-in on eBay straight away!
The choice of title doesn't really fit in with the convention though, and they would have done better to secure something like a Ghost Rider or Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer SteelBook or something which comic fans would actually want, but unique to the event. Am I right in thinking that this artwork has previously been used on Canadian or American releases, and wasn't it also part of a limited edition wave of releases which had similar style artwork?
I would be interested in joining a group buy for this. Like the majority of people here, I do not live in London, therefore I cannot attend the MCM Expo. I'm not willing to travel halfway around the country and back again just to obtain a £15 SteelBook, when the admittance and travel costs would make this extremely unrealistic, not to mention time involved. If anyone who is attending manages to grab a spare copy, I would definitely be interested in trading

Yes, this is the exact same artwork that was used for the limited edition SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) here in the US earlier this summer, though it was on a limited edition slipcover/amaray, not a steelbook.
Will it be gloss?
I doubt it.
Don't know why I asked oh well
I wonder if there will be any embossing.
Just bought the first copy, mainly as I'm doing some work at MCM.
Early customers get some freebies: a scratch card for money off online, I got a t-shirt (Shadow of Mordor) and some gubbins. The steel is pretty nice.
Massive heads up though. You can ONLY pay via card, so bear that in mind.
