I got 10% mystery code but it didn't work for me on frozen or Aliens tried the code bout 20 times.. oh well. Glad they worked for you guys though

 

[DrH]

I tried mine a couple of times then released that. O was a 0 (zero) it worked then but I got 5% off

 

[severo]

so the mystery codes worked on pre-order titles for some? damn, i used my 20%off for just a 2nd copy of "the beyond", as i didn't even think about this working on the disney's /pixar's. i should have tried... next time then.

Any idea of the print run for this? I saw the film earlier and was a bit disappointed with it, so for me it's not worth £25. Would still like to pick it up for the right price though!

What's with those crappy spines? Don't they ever learn?!?

 

[gregavfc]

Nooo. I've been dreading this news. May have to cancel.

 

[snooloui]

The artwork isn't bad, but the lack of a title kills it for me. Not worth £24.99, so I'll pass.

Aladdin: TITLE
The Little Mermaid: TITLE
Jungle Book: TITLE
Frozen: WHAT?? NO TITLE?

So already, the Disney Classic Steelbooks are out of alignment. Cancelling time!!

I know, what is wrong with having the title on the spine? Nothing. It didn't even mention the 3D! I may be wrong in thinking that this is being used for most Frozen steelbooks. If I'm correct, then surely it isn't that much of a Zavvi Exclusive!

 

[gregavfc]

It's a shame, cause with titles on and a gloss finish, this could've been one of the best.

So it's true, there's no title on the spine.

And just when I thought that the days of miss-matched releases from Disney were behind us. After random VHS covers, DVD covers with or without yellow ovals, widescreen banners, FastPlay logos and BBFC ratings at random heights (issues that also plague the Blu-ray releases) Disney finally got it right with their classic steelbooks...

...A nice discreet Blu-ray logo, the title centralised, the code number and finally the picture. Simple and effective. What could go wrong?

Frozen. That's what. It's quite clear that Disney just don't care. They put no effort into Avengers Assemble (pictures on the spine to avoid different titles). Iron Man 3 (matt finish, title too high, no 3D). Thor: The Dark World (pictures on spine again, matt finish and sky-high price).

I was planning on getting all the Disney classics on steelbook but not now. I'll just get the ones I really want and even then, only if the design and the price are right. I'm off to cancel 5 or so preorders from Zavvi. Thanks, but no thanks.

Great to see the moaning minnies out in force. Covers same as the fnac version now. Lack of titles doesn't bother me. Sad that people over react. Just don't buy it if it bothers you.

 

[gregavfc]

I'm sure there may be some talented ninjas would could come up with a spine for us (HINT).

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

Now that it has no title on the spine or front, I don't know what it is so won't be purchasing.

 

[kaw]

Thats a shame. I liked the old art.

I will never buy a steelbook that doesn't have a title on the spine. Guess its time to cancel this one then. too bad.

Now that it has no title on the spine or front, I don't know what it is so won't be purchasing.

The reindeer and snowman avatars don't give it away at all. It could be Die Hard for all we know.

That really is the most rubbish argument people use

Everyone has a right to express their opinion; just because you have no issue with the lack of titles makes any dissenting opinion an overreaction? Come on, this is a discussion forum and discussion goes both ways. HDN is also a better place than any to get our feedback heard, which makes voicing valid criticism and honest concerns all the more important. I'm not saying it's going to change anything, but it's our best bet.

So you're right: I won't buy it, because having a steel that doesn't have a title on even the spine bothers me. But I'll also voice my displeasure at what is becoming a growing trend, as is my wont.

UGH! Another crappy steelbook design without the title anywhere!
