A good sign, maybe Universal would consider a Steel of the original in the near future?

Come on @TonyStark64 chill out mate.

Im not Zavvi's biggest fan but i get tired of the same thing on every Zavvi thread. (Not just from you)

Technically it is sold out as they have sold all of their copies until people cancel closer to the release date or people have payment problems. Then it will come back up for pre-order. Just like any other retailer.

More copies dont just magically appear from thin air.

Rush you cant really blame Zavvi cos it was a trade wide release so they may have got other stock from other retailers or something like that.

Nightmare before christmas - you got me on that one

I own the digibook and I wouldn't describe it as 'way better'. It is decent but it has the nasty banner and the front artwork is essentially the same as this.

The way Zavvi work is, it is sold out of the first 1,000 they've put up for sale so far.

They have at no time said all of the total 2,500 have been up for sale. I believe they have recruited a new marketing guy from Germany called Kuntz.

Do you not think it possible with nightmare before Christmas that it was sold out then another batch was produced?

[cheetah]

I believe it is sold out initially of all 2500 and not just 1000. Judging by comments on here this is in big demand especially with that awesome front of raging Kong. No doubt cancellations will occur but this is not going to be in Zavvi's bargain bin any time soon.

Sold out or not "most likely not" who cares. This steel ROCK!!!!

I heard it was his friend Jack Schitt

The original 1933 version is a Warner title. There's already a nice Digibook in the States that uses the poster art from the time of the film's release.

I'm surprised that Warner didn't include it in their 'Classic Poster Art' wave of Steelbooks released in the UK in 2013. A great selection of classics such as "Ben-Hur", "Doctor Zhivago", "Gone With the Wind", etc, all using the original poster art from when the films were first released. Hopefully, one day they'll release a second wave which will include "King Kong".

I just hope Warner will continue to steer clear of the trend towards abstract artwork that has marred so many recent Steelbook releases from Fox, Universal and Sony.

True however it will not just be listed known about here . A LOT of people rate this movie also with the prequel being in the works may be fanning the fire.
