Here's something that's made me very happy. From the PR company -

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.

Watch out for 3pm, 6pm or 9pm BST...In other words, your Saturday is messed up

I much prefer how Kimchi make their exclusives go on sale at a predetermined time. Le Grand Bleu was tricky with all the traffic but we still knew when we had to be online.

Well usually their steelbooks go live around 6pm so I'd be surprised if this were any different. At least it shouldn't be one of their stupid midnight GMT releases. That takes the mick considering they are a UK company.

i got a mail just now, it says 5PM

Pre-order @ 5PM - £23.99

Was that email from zavvi or a collector? I too got an email but from a collector. I wouldn't say 5pm is setting stone but like the guys have said above it can be 6pm or 9pm. My money is 5-6pm. That's when it usually is.

Zavvi usually send an email within the hour of it going live

Another cover where the names and the actors are switched. Is there a reason why they do this ?

Often it's stated in the actor's contract how they are billed.

Which you might see a lot of the older and established actors get a "with" or "special appearance by" at the end of the opening credits.

In terms of documentaries, it can be a clue on how much a producer kicked in for the funding of the doc.

So that's why - they are contractually obligated to list the actors in that order.

With the introduction of bins specifically for disposing of dog mess you're far less likely to step in dog poo these days.... you could go as far as to say that treading in dog poo is "limited". Doesn't make me any happier when it happens though

I'm just glad this isn't an ES steel with a release date of 23rd Dec lol
