Regarding Zavvi and limited editions, does anybody know what’s Zavvi is up to of late, regarding their limited edition releases? I kept an eye on a few over the last few weeks ( Man with xray eyes, Hagazussa, Revenge, and The woman), and, curiously they all went sold out in early hrs of release day - up to then they were only on pre order. Anybody got any idea what this is about? As soon as release day hits, then they were all sold out?

Usuualy it means they have sold out of their stock allocation and other times they not received all the stock yet
When release date arrives if there is no stock on their system it auto lists as sold out

Yeah, that’s right. But it’s very unusual for this to happen in exactly the same way on such very recent releases. Literally, the ones i mentioned were all up for pre order right up until release day, then when i checked on them early hours in the morning (on release dates) they were sold out. In the case of “The Woman” (release date yesterday), it was available in the early hrs, but still only as a pre order, then was sold out a bit later on. I wouldn’t class these releases as particularly high demand, as the titles are a bit “niche”, imo - certainly not high demand enough to be sold out by ( and on) release date.

That would have been Zavvi website auto listing as sold out on Monday due to Zavvi not having the stock yet
When Zavvi get delivery from Arrow and the stock is added to zavvi stock system it will change to Buy Now

When you see a pre order go listed as Sold Out on release date it means Zavvi not got delivery yet

Can i ask you guys a question. Is this only Dawn of the dead 1978? Just one movie and different cuts. Or will it also have the 2004 version on 4k?

Three different cuts of the 1978 film. Why do you ask? There hasn't been the slightest hint that the 2004 film would be included with this release.

Was hoping that it does. I pre ordered this blindly. Becouse i know how things can sell out fast. Also no steelbook or lenticular and just one movie with a load of extra's... maybe i'll cancel it:whistle: but thanks for the reaction:thumbs:
