That could potentially be true. Or they'll only have 1000 copies, which most of the time, sell pretty fast.

Superman Jumbo went pretty quick I remember 1,000 copies. I think this will be 'scalped' as opposed to 'sold out'. Not a real sold out, more of just been scalpered by third party business sellers and collectors themselves that wanna make a few quid.

Well good for them. This is actually cheaper on amazon.de so those scalpers are buying from the wrong retailer anyways.

Doesn't look at all bad judging by the Film Arena edition and certainly no worse than the Canadian (although TBH in this case I prefer the Canadian printed back) and as can be seen in the comparison shots sufficiently different back and inside to warrant a purchase at some point plus this new one has a far better finish.

Screen grabs from a German unboxing from last week:-

This German release from a week or so ago appears to me to have a Glossy at best (or Zero) finish together with de-bossed radioactive symbol and if the Zavvi is like that I reckon it will be a worthy addition to anyone's collection


Film Arena edition (same as ours):-

Reminder of the original matte Canadian Future Shop exclusive released back in the dawn of steelbooks when the blue banner header was ubiquitous - in the U.K. too - and the re-issue which was the same but for the blue banner:-

There's a movie that deserves a remake. They really got it wrong.

This was a remake. So maybe they should just leave it alone.

Besides they would blow too much on the budget and it would tank at the box office.

It was a remake - in name only.
Maybe I should rephrase- They should make Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND properly.
(And it doesn't need to be a big budget film AT ALL).

Anything starring Smith needs a remake!

Yes, his versions are too jiggy.
