Just pre ordered it the price is a bit much but I've spent more on less.

If it was an Asian release nobody would question spending 26 quid on it.

Nooooooooooooo!

It's people like you that cause the rest of us to wait longer for a price reduction...

Firstly Anchorman 2 wasn't as good as the original. Just because it's a steelbook and exclusive doesn't mean people want it. That's the reason Bad Grandpa is still available despite such a low print run.

Also, we know an Asian release would do it right for the price. How much did people spend on World War Z for laser etched numbers and they still got a cheap matte finish?

It looks like ES will be doing it right though, is it a case of Steelbook snobbery?

 

[Narg]

It's not exactly going to drop much in price I see world war z is still going strong.

In this instance, it's a case of not the greatest movie. If this was £19.99 instead of £25.99, then I think more people would be intrigued by it with all those features.

But it's just a lot to ask for this particular movie. As an American, that's the difference of $45 and $35 with tax and before shipping and/or Group Buy fees. Wal-Mart has a pretty cool looking steelbook coming out tomorrow for $29.99 (~£17.99) and it's Anchorman 1 and 2.

 

[Norwichlad]

Cancelled my order. £26 too much

 

[JayWhit]

I cancelled mine as well, not worth it for this price

This hobby is costing me enough as it is

 

[BluSteel2012]

Yup, same here cancelled. The U.S. one is looking more and more like a bargain compared to this.

This E.S. one is just too pricey for me at the minute. Hope it falls in price one day.

Nearly always the same steelbook under the fancy "extras"

yes one thing there what about people that bought anchorman 1 from zavvi? would just make that dustbin fodder really and a true waste of money.

me personally i've swallowed my pride on this one and bit the bullet, i would rather have it than not and cannot be bothered for sake of £5.
do i know i'm being poked up the bum with a hot poker yes, can i be bothered no not really.

also one other thing regards bad grandpa they still haven't lowered the price on that yet and i suspect they won't drop it for a while either just seems to be ES goto remember they arent zavvi with yo-yo prices me thinks.

[davetherave]

after getting anchorman from zavvi, I bit on this too, would rather get it than not, and it possibly go OOP (As I have found with recent decisions!)

 

[UpsetSmiley]

So tempting, but 4000 copies and £26? That is a ridiculous price and Bad Grandpa was also overpriced at 1000 copies. Safe to say, this should stick around until further reduction in price. At least I hope.

 

[rpg]

I beg to differ on World War Z's 'success'. It's nearly 6 months since it was released, and it's still in stock. Not successful at all for an exclusive. I bet you they hadn't planned on hanging on to it for that long. Similar to Zavvi's non-3D Iron Man 3, and they've only decided to drop the price now. That should have been done months ago.

It would be quite sad if 4000 people bought this mediocre release for £26, in my opinion. It's not the way we want to see steelbooks going. I also question the reasoning behind people's purchasing too - i.e. do they really want it? or are they just filling their shelves with 'exclusives'?

Anyway, even if it does sell out it won't bother me. It certainly won't make me regret not purchasing it. I'll pick up a sealed copy on eBay for £15 a few months down the line.

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

Just cancelled my copy, can't justify paying £26 for it!

Just cancelled my copy, can't justify paying £26 for it!

I only paid £21 for the double steel delivered from the US! How ES are justifying their price is beyond me!

 

[cooey]

Just cancelled my copy, can't justify paying £26 for it!

That's why I opted for the double pack from Walmart.... luckily I didn't already have the Zavvi steelie of the firs movie

Looks like cost savings to me. Sell all steels even the rejects.

Quality Control is lacking these days.
