What the!? How is this even allowed? Pfff!
I should send it back on principle but I do like the black art, I just loved the white art.
Very disappointed with Zavvi.

P'd off because I splashed out and got a Spanish one for my girlfriend a few days ago to match this Zavvi one. She loved the film and figured I'd trust Zavvi's word when they said it was in fact the one pictured that we would receive. I don't know why I even buy from Zavvi anymore! Actual idiots. I just hope the Spanish one still retains some value and I can just sell it on in a few weeks.

Zavvi you ar$eholes!!!!

I've got two copies of the Spanish version coming and I prefer to have the 3d version. Not happy!

 

[bradipolpo]

more pics? The front is the same as the spanish one, back and inside too?

 

[vampire75]

Hmm I would love the white version, but the black one looks nice as well
But after this I will think twice before pre-ordering from them...

 

[bigdavehopes]

as nice as the black steel is, I am a bit disappointed that its not white.

What do you think the chances are that we can get a partial refund due to the blatant lies about the artwork? Probably slim to none i'd guess

 

[tono06]

Sorry for all of you guys that where waiting for the white! That's really not cool! false advertising!

Email just received from Zavvi...

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your message.

I can confirm that the final artwork is what is shown on our website.

Thanks,

Well, someone is a big fat fibber.

 

[tristar6]

Black one is okay for me!
Dont change the thing that zavvi is the worst retailer out there!
Still showing the white artwork. Some people going to jail for less than this

 

[tokaman]

I'm glad I held off buying the Spanish version, this is defo the best option now with the 3D disc.
I had a feeling like a lot of others this would be the same so i was reluctant to pay over the odds for the Spanish one.
This should devalue the Spanish one now I bet we don't see another one sell for "silly money" lol.

Zavvi outlet get ready for paypal disputes and negative feedback. You deserve it[emoji35]

 

[dagreaser]

I echo everyone's disappointment with Zavvi. Although it looks great I was just looking forward to a white release.

Here's a photo of the amazing back and the inside with discs now I've opened mine.

I think Disney have excelled themselves on the back artwork

Not sure if anyone else is thinking this but....

This is a Disney steelbook with a shared print run across Europe.... How come this has a title on the front and spine but the Marvel releases get left blank and sub-par!?!?!

 

[cooey]

Gotta admit I prefer the black version over the white!

What does Maleficent translate to in Spanish?

EDIT: Malefica, apparently!

 

[MrFurious]

Stunning back artwork, look at the depth in the blacks......

 

[absolutely80s]

Interesting. I think the black version is far more striking than white, and is certainly in keeping with the tone of the film. And as for the latest Zavvi debacle….well, is ANYONE surprised? This is why HMV are well and truly back in the game. I particularly dislike the torrent of so-called "3D exclusive steel books" Zavvi have recently announced - I certainly won't be supplementing my collection with those.

 

[mnementh]

Well, someone is a big fat fibber.

I've already emailed them this morning to ask why this information was given. I have no problem with people saying if they don't know, but to mislead a customer is not on.

Will be interesting to see what they say, if they respond that is !

 

[babylon]

Yes ! Was hoping for the black!

 

[gbdragon]

I'm very surprised with the lack of communication between Zavvi & HDN on this release normally you get the updates " guys just FYI X amount left of X title" or "X title going live at X time"
