[Jango]

oh snap i missed out on this..this is one of my favorite disney movies, it have everything in it...even bad things like racism, sexism and supporting animal abuse...dawmn i need this

 

[Parslow1177]

Cancelled this along with Peter Pan, Planes and Elysium(might reorder closer to release). I've decided to cut back on the steelbook buying and only buy steelbook films which I really enjoy.

 

[severo]

sold out already?

i'm glad i put 2 orders in, just in case one arrives damaged.

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

Hope by the time this is released zavvi have improved their packaging. They improved it greatly last year, maybe with enough complaints they'll do the same again?

 

[Marina Blue]

Not surprised it sold out so soon, it's a Walt Disney film and a hand animated work of art. Just a classic!

 

[Gubizzo]

Sold out already? Fortunately i have ordered in time!!

 

[Nobby]

I am not surprised that it is sold out already. It has been announce as the lowest print run ever for a Disney Steelbook and it's a classic. I am sure Peter Pan will be sold out too soon.

Ultra Limited Print Run - Does that mean <= 3K?

 

[purplebook]

[RihFlood212]

Grrr I was literally just about to order and now its out of stock! I will keep my eye out for cancellations! I really hope I can get an order in for this!

 

[blu-steel]

I wish zavvi would use bigger boxes like play.

Ultra Limited Print Run - Does that mean <= 3K?

If id have to take a guess I would say 3k
Be good if zavvi let us know

 

[Familyguy824]

Does Anyone think they will let us know the print run?

 

[blu-steel]

Would be nice to have print run on the backer card. It wouldn't cost anything.

Nice idea ..would it be too much to ask for numbered copies?

 

[yeslek]

Now if your copy gets damaged during shipping you'll be totally ****ed.

thats why you always order a spare (learnt my lesson with Jungle Book...3 copies before I got a mint one *rollseyes* )

Nice idea ..would it be too much to ask for numbered copies?

considering the 'limited print run' is a selling point, they should announce how limited it actually is

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

I'd rather zavvi just upgrade the packaging so I don't have to order a spare. Who has the money for 2 of every steelbook they own. I'd rather different steelbooks. I've only ordered one.

 

[Soundeath]

I'm pretty sure it will be available again at some point.. and they'll reduce the price to 10 pounds for another year if you buy another steelbook from their list.. lol
Zavvi what?? Who cares ;p

well obviously, but they've reduced the quality and protection of the packaging by using flimsy plastic instead of thin foam....moving even further away from standards set by Play last year *sigh*

so only way to ensure your not potentially stuck with damaged copies is by doubling up. Far from ideal or even fair but its the only alternative
