The ONLY thing zavvi have done is single highhandedly kill the steelbook game by releasing steels of every single crap flick they hope to shove down our throats for big bucks. Mars Attacks and Team America... Really? who the heck has been begging for these movies in steelbook form? They over saturate the market and destroy many collectors faith in exclusive titles and limited print runs. Once highly valued titles like Transformers, Cars, The Town etc have been released with exact same artwork destroying the market for people who paid big money for them previously.
Not to mention the games they consistently play with OOS/ Soldout titles coming back in stock months after they are supposedly "soldout". Somethings doing well for us.. who cares that we promised 4000 units, lets order ANOTHER 4000!! Example - Jungle Book, Mermaid being sold for 23GBP and then price dropping them to 10GBP!! This has happened far too often with far to many titles. I have zero faith in their word and their advertising. Granted once in a blue moon they deliver a good steelbook and they do ship internationally, but its far outweighed by their poor customer service and quality of products that are on a continuous downhill slide.
And by the way... I have per-ordered brand new release steels from amazon for 16GBP like Battleship, Oblivion & Gatsby so forgive me for taking offense to zavvi's eye gauging prices of 25GBP!! Sorry that's just greed.
Zavvi don't make steelbooks
Studios arrange with retailers like Zavvi Amazon Hmv
Zavvi are a retailer an online Shop
Mars Attack is a great Film and sold out very fast
Steelbooks are now very popular and is the reason why
film studios are releasing them using Zavvi or Amazon or Hmv
Arrow Films also release steelbooks and sell direct to customers and also through Zavvi and Amazon etc
Jungle Book and Little Mermaid print runs were 10,000
They made a mistake of overestimating the possible sales
They learnt from that mistake
That mistake was made by Disney not Zavvi
Zavvi are only a Retailer who sell what's offered to them by studios some will be exclusive and others will be available to buy from all retailers
If Zavvi say no to an exclusive the studios offer an exclusive to another
Retailer
Steelbooks are a choice and I'm glad to see a film I like available in steelbook
If you don't like a movie don't buy it
If you buy steelbook and you don't like a film in the first place why would you buy it
I like steelbooks for there artwork and better packaging and I will always buy a steelbook release over a standard Blu-ray release unless there are extras only available in the standard Blu-ray release and not available in the steelbook version
I don't collect steelbooks because they might be worth money
I don't care if a release is 1000 limited or 50000 limited
What I like is the ability to buy a film I like and have in my collection
I don't care if its Zavvi or Amazon or other retailer who sell it as long as I can purchase it and at a reasonable price
I will never ever buy from Ebay seller who selling at a crazy price only will use ebay if price is less or around the same as standard retailer
If you see a steelbook you don't like been released there is someone who does like it been released
Your not been forced into buying anything
Hope you get another chance to see it on the big screen.
