Cinderella (2015) (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter digitalbabe
- Start date
While I read horror stories on here about people's dealings with them from my perspective I've always found them competent. Maybe I'm just lucky but I've only ever had one dented steel and I wasn't made to take pics or any of the nonsense I read on here in getting a replacement.
Oh I'm not totally stupid I know full well the likely art will be the same as everyone else's dude, I'm just hopeful that one day before its too late that they actually try and get what customers want and not what Zavvi are forced to take. They have a warehouse full of steels that no one is buying and this will be another on that pile. Sooner or later that's going to start to have a result on a portion of their profits. They in the past have been too quick to snap up exclusive rights to UK distribution on junk that's just not going to sell well in their bid to be the home of steels, which has resulted in constant sales and Flash sales.
While I'm sure they know about Kimchi etc adding extras the bigger worry should be Filmarena, who are closer to home and who are now producing exclusive steels as well as WWA steels in beautiful slips for very little more in cost. You only have to look at the amounts of people in some of the GB's to see that's a serious dent in Zavvi's sales even with double dippers. [emoji4]
Thank god I cancelled mine , no title yet again ..... money saved towards my Film arena purchases 
the slip I am sure will be their regular and it will cut right into the design of the shoe like The other country that did the same thing. Instead of doing the 1/4 slip from the top not to hide the artwork, they will do same bottom slip as usual.
happy about my Taiwan !

So you're not expecting the slip to carry on the design like it has for their other recent releases ?
I'm cautiously optimistic that the slip will be quite nice
Without actual in-hand pics, it's hard to say how the slip will be for this. Zavvi has certainly had slips on the top, rather than the bottom though. It will be interesting to see what they actually do.
I don't know how much effort they will put into their slip, but one country just used the regular zavvi format box 1/4 slip and just put the steel into it and shrink wrapped it, so the slip goes up to half the shoe design cutting right into it. Now how they will do theirs I don't know, in any case I think since it is WWA and Taiwan has the 1/4 slip from the top, for me it's was an easy decision = Taiwan
Alternatively they could continue the artwork on to the slip and end up looking one of the nicest.
Anyway it's all speculation until we see what they do.
Just a bit tired with the automatic 'Zavvi is ****' attitude on here

I honestly don't mind that slipper art, but I cancelled mine the other day anyway... price is way too high for a blind buy.
Agreed, i cancelled mine too as im yet to see the movie. Will pick it up if its still avilable later and cheaper.
@C.C. 95 not familiar too much with Zavvi, but after @mnementh mentioned that bottom front of slip when there is continuous artwork they do design the slip to continue to match the steel...I just saw my copy of Maleficent and true the artwork on the slip match perfectly where it cuts into the steel artwork... so indeed they will probably do a nice one...and yes similar to Good Will Hunting(although they did not get the color scheme down but picture very aligned on that level well done
