Ordered the ZBox version, but if the animation box is sh*t then I will cancel. Got burned before with the cosmic box. Just very intrigued to see what the Pop Vinyl is! I'm guessing no T-shirt again!!
 
Can anyone tell me what time this is U.S. eastern time? Also when is Ghost Rider going on sale. You know your a Marvel SB addict when you have preordered Elektra and Ghost Rider. And really bad when you've done it at Zavvi. Gotta say feel a bit dirty, I could at least go with Jennifer Garner is half naked with Elektra but Ghost Rider is just horribly I have never sat through more than 20 minutes bad.

6:00 am eastern, 5:00 for me in central for the Avengers.
Ghost rider is 1:00 pm eastern, 12:00 pm central.

Find it amusing how they're advertising this as the 'best one yet!'

Is it just me, or is this Zavvi's way of saying "yeah, we know the Zboxes up to now have been absolutely useless, but if we attach the tag line of best one yet, it might persuade some customers to buy this"??

Also, think this is a bit of a poisoned chalice so to speak- If this Zbox is highly successful (as well it might be), then who's to say Zavvi's stance on future Zboxes will be more aggressive (i.e. tying up even more steelbook stock up to these and further limiting the standalone steelbook purchases)??

This is the first instance I can recall of Zavvi offering the Zbox bundle BEFORE the steelbook release, and think it might force their hand in the future to repeat this.

ordering ZBOX from Z....? No way for me-i´ll sit back,relax and wait for other Retailers offering Steelie Versions of this Movie:thumbs:
 
agree with others people should not order the zbox you people are just encouraging them to make this standard practice!!!!!
and what happens when we get steels that don't have the big release sizes???
also anyone thought that if they keep getting orders on the damn zboxs you may be taking steels from the normal steel pre-order???

cos if i was zavvi and
agent says to manager: well we sold our 3000 allocation for zbox, what we do now?
manager reply: well just take another 500 from normal steelbook stock and if we sell those as long as we leave them a 100 we will get a bonus!

This way of selling highly sought after products is a new low. I wonder how many people are going to pre-order the steelbook with the z-box. Thousands probably. Maybe more. And then they'll put the steelbook on sale at 11 o'clock. Selling who knows how individual steelbooks. 50? 100? 1000? And when people have learnt they have missed it I can guarantee they will find it extremely hard to cancel their z-box order. It would be great if there was a show of solidarity and everyone who doesn't / didn't get just the steelbook cancelled their z-box order. But like I say that is not very likely. And as a result we will keep feeding the monkey (zavvi).
 
Surely this release isn't just limited to 4k. I would have thought that Disney will either make it at least 10k or will look to see how many orders zavvi gets and make the steelbooks accordingly. This will be a really popular film and Disney will surely not want to limit their revenue.
