Neither edition went live on Zavvi AU. And neither has the special edition film vault wave 3 poltergeist. Not sure what is going on but lately they have started to exclude Zavvi au from certain releases. And have put up the prices on other new releases. Maybe they are trying to send a message that they will phase out shipping to certain countries in future.
I never got into the vault edition due to hearing the cost of them back then and they was always getting damaged was seeing so many being damaged but when they took out the steelbook ones I went for them and got the majority I think apart from one which I had to pay premium price for.
Yes in general steels are going up in price no matter where your at and especially the aus ones.
I not compared really cost of similar steels zavvi sell compared to uk prices but I have found that some I have got are around similar what we would pay.
But maybe I need to look into this more but I had pre ordered steels one in particular I forgot to cancel it and was dispatched and I forgot we was getting it here and i could not believe it it was $30 more for same steel our store had it for.
Obviously I was to late in cancelling it but I’m being more careful now even another steel was like $10 more from zavvi than our price.
Not only that if your adding shipping then uk price goes up more, but for many years I have always took advantage of the zavvi shipping by ordering heaps of stuff i probably want be in available now or months ahead.
Just means everything else is free delivery, very rarely I would order just that one item from zavvi.
But i don’t think I have experienced stuff being excluded for us.
I’m sure the wave collection you talk about was available here as well but as I was not collecting them I never bothered but definitely did order the steel editions.
So these was actually available and are actually sold out then so looks like if I want a copy I need to try elsewhere maybe after all these years of buying stuff from them might be coming to an end if this is way they are going by excluding most stuff and hiking up prices.
I recently had about 10 packages arrive from Zavvi and some with one item some with two items inside and one of my items a steel was so messed up.
I decided to order a replacement as the steel was going out of stock most places and I did not want to miss out on it.
I was getting nowhere with Zavvi with them messing about part refund and returns etc but pushing at them etc etc after i decided and had a dispatch of my new order they decided to send a replacement so now I have two coming hopefully one of the two will be ok at least.
But my damaged one was a right mess and I have no idea how it was so bad as both steels inside was side by side
