I don't follow FNAC and haven't ordered from them before. Couple of questions: Do they ship to the US? Are these Disney steels likely to stick around for a while? And if they do, are they likely to be reduced in price later?
I can attempt answers to all three:-
1) Customer from the US quote, "FNAC France ships direct. They just use A1 similar mailers for 1-2 steels. Not sure how they would ship the whole lot... Also heard before that their customer service isn't that great. I've only ordered twice and have been lucky with no damage ..."
2) Steelbookpro quote from the 17th Dec. 2017, "En fait, bizarrement, ils seront
disponibles en magasins plus tard, au mois de
janvier voir
février (problème de stock ?). Mais on peut les commander sur le site dès aujourd’hui (release date 17/12/17), ils sont bien
disponibles immédiatement via fnac.com."
In store at FNAC (French ninja?) from
January 31, 2018 :- http://www.leblogdefanaworld.fr/15-blurays-steelbooks-exclusif-fnac-a-venir-prochainement-france/
3) Price reductions ?
1,000 - 4,000 (?) print run for each . . . WEA artwork . . . 3 discs (2 BDs + DVD in each) . . . second wave later this year . . . vs. . . domestic titles on two thirds . . . high 30 Euros price . . .
If following the Disney UK steelbooks example some were reduced to under 10 quid, if I remember correctly, especially the couple with larger than usual print runs . . . including the best of them (THE JUNGLE BOOK).
Anyway . . .
