When I emailed them about my missing badge I thought JIGSAW had responded to me.

Dear Karl
Do you want to play a game
You have 60 secs to find the missing badge or you lose your refund
The choice is yours !

Acording to another forum, planet replicas, who made the key chains have tweeted that they have been sent out separately, which they say zavvi have confirmed to them.

Looks like Zavvi have been busy after the conversation I had lot of contact between Zavvi Help and Planet replicas in the last 5 hours

When these are been sent hopefully I will know tomorrow the timeframe

Well done @lights and @paulboland... Finally looks like we're getting somewhere (RE: keychains) and hopefully things will progress in the right direction!

DREDD Keychain badge.

Cast in metal, with a realistic antique gold finish (Zavvi Keychain might have different type of finish)

Measures 40mm Wide x 54mm High ( not including small fixture loop )

3mm Thick

Comes with a twist-close keychain

Individually bagged

Note
The Keychain with the steelbook we are getting might have slight differences with type of finish and due to been supposedly numbered but should be the same as the photos below but with different type of finish

If they are numbered this should what the back of the keychain looks like going by the photo on Zavvi website

Looks AWESOME @paulboland! Thanks for sharing those wonderful pictures! Seeing the Dredd keychains in their full glory like that just strengthens my fighting spirit to try and get hold of one and makes the original 10% partial refund laughable

The Zavvi numbered Keychain might have a different type of finish but overall should look the same as in terms of size and look

Thanks for the clarification @paulboland. Looks good to me... hopefully things will materialise from here

It does look pretty cool.

I think you guys will like it. I have had the shop-bought version of this key chain for years now and it really is a nice replica and sturdy key chain.

What a DREDDful release! Just as zoomed in and cropped as several other releases lately.
Quality control on these steels are horrible! Wouldnt take it even for free. Yuck.

A Gloss Steelbook + Key Chain is not bad IMO. I have yet to buy Dredd on Blu-ray but i will wait for Nova, this Steelbook looks great though.

. . . and a keychain not available to buy anywhere by itself at the moment and even when it is available it will cost GBP 11.49 in total (including P&P) . . .

The absent keychain is proving advantageous to eBayers as about half of the listings there for the steelbook MAKE NO MENTION OF THE KEYCHAIN and one seller there goes so far as to reply to a potential bidder/buyer in the following way:-

Quote
"Q :Hi I was just wondering did you get the exclusive numbered keychain that was meant to come with this steelbook many thanks?
A :Hi no it looks like Zavvi went back on their word about the keychain as nobody got one. Any eBay listings for Dredd that state the keychain is included are now incorrect. Hope this helps "
Unquote

At least when it finally arrives it will be a nice little bonus for the sellers but not so nice for the buyers who have not done their homework and are paying 30 quid for a steelbook without the accompanying keychain


All I can say to potential buyers of this item on eBay and elsewhere is DO YOUR HOMEWORK and SEARCH OUT THE RELEVANT THREAD ON HDN and read the last few pages where members such as @paulboland and others are working hard with Zavvi / The Hut to get to the bottom of this.
ESPECIALLY, DO NOT PART WITH ANY MONEY until you have confirmation that you will also receive the keychain.

"Looks great"???? A gloss finish doesnt make up for horrible cropping of the art and especially the positioning of the title, its pretty much clipping the edge with "Judgement is coming"!, plus the reused inside art.
Havent you read the thread at all? No one is getting the keychain....

 

[Ranavalone]

"Looks great"???? A gloss finish doesnt make up for horrible positioning of both art and especially the title, plus the reused inside art. Nothing looks great about it.

Gloss finish actually is a great mitigating factor for me and I don't see anything horrible on the cover art Not optimal, but definitely not horrible either.

If you've read the thread, everyone will be getting the keychain After all, it's in the product description

The Keychain is been sent out separately that has been confirmed by Planet Replicas with Zavvi yesterday
The timeframe of when customers are getting the keychain is not known yet but they are been sent separate from the steelbook

Was ment to write "havent gotten".
Finish still doesnt make up for that they completely misaligned the text. It looks so amateurish I wonder how people get their jobs. Botched!
