Three (re-)releases in just over a year.

Three (re-)releases in just over a year.

To be fair, the second one wasn't a re-release, but just the second half of the first batch.

But with noteworthy differences: https://www.hidefninja.com/communit...zavvi-exclusive-uk.90124/page-16#post-2099308

I wonder which type the next batch is.

Wow, don't think I was ever aware of that! Maybe the re-release will come with even more changes then, like full gloss so everyone re-buys it.

Maybe someone at the factory just missed this alert on their monitor?...

Can we now expect to see ebay listings that read:
"BLADE steelbook: DEEP RED EDITION"?!!

 

[PracticingPat]

I love the fact they're re-releasing old stuff. There's still a few early steels I missed on.

What a joke, same as mad max chrome edition...re released to death, tactics like these just take the joy off nabbing a limited release!

What's wrong with sharing the love? I think it's a good opportunity for people who missed out on this sought after edition to have another chance at retail price and not pay whatever the price is on the after market.

I've only ever really went for steels that I either liked or steels of movies I liked, I don't see the point in just getting something just because it's limited

The only time when it is wrong is when an edition is specifically released as a limited edition....and then they make more.

That’s what am thinking..,there were two batches (reprinting/re-release) with last years release AFAIK...so this 3rd printing equates 3rd release IMO

Part of the steelbook collecting fun lies in its chase and the feeling of owning something not easily obtained, then lies the aspect of false marketing and creating false demand that the release is limited to 1000 units and is a black friday event and get it quickly or miss out aspect...all this leaves a sour taste for me. No wonder people frown at Zavvi often.

Why dont the premium retailers re-release their sold out editions, which make much more money for them than the £15.99 steels like these?

 

[IRON MAN]

I don't think it's a re-release per say. I think, this like other previous titles (the 2014 V for Vendetta release, for instance), was supposed to be a shared run with another retailer in another country (V was available in Spain via Amazon.es) but for some reason that didn't happen and so Zavvi picked up the remaining stock.
