Latest update from Zavvi

Still waiting on finalised artwork.

The finishes are overall matte varnish, except for a spot UV gloss on Mark and Dwayne on the front cover.

There’s a pantone red on their names on the front cover, and emboss on the title treatment.

Confirmed as 1000 units only and from the traffic and questions we are getting, think this will only last a couple of days at the most before selling out.

Released in 2020 lol. I'm expecting 17.99 and Boxing Day-ish release!

Think I can save up by then 1p a day in the bank and that should cover this quite well.

Prices in links are often placeholders as we've seen many times before. Hopefully price comes down.

I hope you're right, but i can see this one staying at that price what with there only be 1000 of them and all.

I'll be surprised if the price drops by much. Amazon are selling the amaray for £17.25, Base are selling for £19.99 and Zavvi are already taking orders for the amaray at £22.99. Zavvi and Base are showing a release date of 23/12

What price exactly would you expect for etched numbering? It's perfectly reasonable especially when compared with the Disney titles being the same price for crap all in terms of special finish or anything fancy.

Is this aimed at me?

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

It's aimed at those who are saying they expected the price to be much lower. So no.

Wait I thought this was etched..is it just City of God that's etched?!

Damn. Then I'll join the moaners

It's obviously a placeholder and will change when the pre-order goes live

I was half asleep so got a bit confused . It's not etched, but is limited to only 1000 so I'd expect that to bump the price up a bit

 

[joe bluzaki]

It's nice to see a limited run for a change. It will be interesting to see how long this takes to sell out. I hope to place an order before it does. Anyone interested should keep on there toes or you could simply subscribe to updates on this thread and hope the info emerges here first.

 

[Playzocker]

Does anybody have the slightest idea when the preorder for this will be live?

When everyone is sleeping

 

[cooey]

Not yet, but Zavvi will let the team know and the info will be posted as soon as we get it

 

[hatredhorror]

bet like 950 of those copies will go to scalpers

Maybe but it says Limited to 1000 in UK
So the Rest 2000 or 3000?! will maybe appear in other countrys!?

yeah, or maybe zavvi has a special deal with scanavo since they place like 90% of scanavos total orders

If any steelbook is to be etched with a number then it should be on a limited run such as Pain & Gain.
At least that would differentiate it from other countries releasing this with the same art.

Like Django Unchained Italy? "Limited to 1000" but same cover like the rest!

 

[alvinhwang21]

i predict that even with a 1k print run, this won't go very high on ebay or those looking to flip...unless its an absolutely exclusive art (which i doubt)

and i agree, with a "low print run" it should have some type of numbering system either etched or put on the slip to give buyers more incentive and differentiate between releases
