Glad i got a copy of that!! Awesome looking steel!

I managed to secure a copy of this and Beetlejuice. As I had to order different times Zavvi charged 9.99 Euros shipping for each order seperately. I sent them an enquiry and they told me that they can not amend it LOL. Sooo funny in this technological era they can not put my two different orders under same order number and charge only one shipping cost... It is impossible for me to cancel both and order at the same time as they are OOS now.. What a great retailer. Every order is just another adventure for me...

Can you change the delivery address to a fellow Ninja in the UK, who can them ship them both to you cheaper?! Don't know if you have any UK based friends on here who would do that??

and so the inevitable 'ripping people off on ebay' has begun with this already.
thanks for going live with this at such a great time for everybody, zavvi....

Yeah I just saw 3 on there from £36 to £50 a pop! Breaking the rules of eBay as well cos it won't ship within 30 days!

I mentioned these going on eBay earlier and my post was deleted? Did I miss something? (Still new here)

Not sure, may have depended on whether or not you were trying to sell them from within this post, which isn't allowed. I'm sure a mod or someone else could elaborate in greater depth then myself. Still fairly new here as well, even though I've been lurking for years.

There's been so much talk of scalpers recently, the mods and everyone else is getting sick of it.

We had exactly the same with Beetlejuice. It's not news that people are going to sell these on. It's a glossy 2.5k run of a cult film?

Less talk of scalping, more talk of steelbook is the general consensus.

8bit Yes they were deleted. eBay chatter and talk of scalping or similar such eBay related stuff do no belong in the discussion threads. If you want to mention a good deal or something on eBay please do it HERE instead. Thanks for understanding and welcome to HDN.

Hey 8bit-welcome to HDN! Don't take it to heart, a couple of the threads devolve sometimes and go completely off topic. Your post may have been deleted as part of a general cleanup.

General note-Anytime a title is a bit more limited, the discussion of scalping, Ebay, etc arises. Please keep those ongoing discussions in the Ebay threads, everyone. Occasional mentions of how an item has appeared on Ebay are fine, just please refrain from any ongoing accusatory remarks regarding same. Thanks all.

Any chance of this going back in stock?

 

[digitalbabe]

Maybe a few from payment issues, Outlaw, but not en masse from what we're told at this time.

And the ones involving payment most likely not till around a week or two before release, or do they generally know sooner than that?

 

[digitalbabe]

Yes, correct, Acid

Tbh im thinking of cancelling my preorder for this. I watched the film last night and it was ok, remember liking it more as a kid.

If I were you I would not cancel. You can always trade it for something you do like. I am sure people will be after this one. Glossy and green?

Yeah I watched it for the first time a few days ago to see if it was worth getting the steelbook. To be honest I didn't find it remotely funny. Certainly no laugh out loud moments anyway.

It has nice artwork though.

 

[utopia]

Looks nice i guess, but i think the biggest reeason it sold out is the low print run and people being greedy

 

[lgans316]

I bought this for trading or reselling if trading doesn't work out my way. Have no interest in movies like this.

Another example of a steel going OOS because people make the assumption it will be sought after, when in fact they are almost the only ones who actually want it.
