The french Jumbo steelbook containing the two movies is sold in store for 16,99£
19,99£ for only the first one is really high

Hopefully they'll emboss Gizmo like they did on the jumbo. Then I will give Zavvi all of my money.

Hopefully Gremlins 2 will also be released.
Both the UK versions of Gremlins have Dutch Subs, in The French Jumbo-Steelbook
(which was originally on my wish-list), only chapter 1 does.

A Gremlins 1 & 2 set like Zavvi did with Kill Bill would have been fantastic, and would have got a sale from me.

I only saw this as an adult, so there is no nostalgic reason for me to get this.

I hope they use the original painted poster(John Alvin ?), the best artwork to this movie.

A new Steelbook of Heat with a embossed title like the Town(and the color and artworks of the CA steel) would be great.
Also, Goodfellas with the original artwork(with the dead man at the front) and a embossecd title was awesome.

For me it does. I saw chapter one as a child. To bad there was never a 3rd chapter.

Defiantly not getting this at that price.

Never seen that Christmas tree design before. That would make for a unique steel!

 

[Fightthefuture]

I have a really bad feeling Zavvi will just churn out really bad artwork for this

It's a steelbook with so many amazing possibilitys for unique cover art but I get the feeling they are throwing far to many titles out far to quickly and it is simply a cash cow for them now and any old generic art cover will do but I really hope I am wrong and it is a winner

I'm waiting for Gremlins 2

To be honest, they could redo all of their Canadian wave releases in the lovely glossy/embossed format and I would probably buy them all

That's one criticism we can't level at them, yet. The majority of their exclusives do look the business, some will obviously turn out better than others due to finish etc.

Been in the mood to rewatch this lately, so this has definitely come at the right time for me. Really hoping the artwork doesn't suck.

Aladdin for example there it's a truly awesome looking steelbook IMO, I just really hope that the artwork differs from what we have seen from Gremlins so far.

It's one of my favs from the 80's and if we could get
Big Trouble In Little China
The Lost Boys
The Monster Squad
The Karate Kid

I would be one very happy child of the 80's

 

[SteelReaper]

Big trouble in little china is one title that needs a uk blu rls and that deserving of the steelbook treatment

I second that!

As much as I LOVE Gremlins, this should be no more than £9.99

 

[funkydamo]

14.99 is likely to be the price when the pre-order goes up.
but if they put gremlins 2 in there too, then im happy with 19.99.
hoping for good artwork, but even if its the same as the amaray im in.
one of my all time favourite movies.
