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.

Missed out, but not really bothered to be honest. Is the film actually any good?

Bloody awful in my opinion !

 

[BigBlizz]

How did I NOT get this? WTF??? I've been checking all morning. There's no way it's sold out

 

[digitalbabe]

Thanks for the kind comments, mlm-I am glad you are enjoying the site and helpfulness of some members

 

[Confidemus]

There's no way this is sold out. It'll be live again I'm sure.

 

[TobinFrost]

Like any release with zavvi, requires a restock.

It's cool because I was absent

 

[Steakman]

Can't believe I forgot about this! God damned in-laws! If anyone has a spare I would be eternally grateful

Still happy for these limited releases, it's what makes collecting fun!

Hey everyone I just got an email from Zavvi 11 minutes ago.

"New in zavvi exclusive Steelbooks - Pain & Gain + Tenebrae [Limited Stock]"

 

[SteelReaper]

I for one am pleased that this was a limited release of 1000-gives us collectors something to be pleased about after the steelbook market esp in the UK being overpopulated with mediocrity and pretty much everything nw being released in this packaging and with that just look at recent releases by studios with cheap finishes....quality over quantity is the way forward and about time retailer like Zavvi who are the culprit in releasing so many titles took ownership and changed the game for us collectors.

 

[Thisisnotsparta]

I ordered two before I knew about the discount code d'oh! But for the record, I ordered the second one in case my friend and fellow ninja ExRox was at work. Just found out he did indeed miss this one, but luckily he has a friend like me!

 

[Maccadeez1989]

It's a shame the artwork isn't up to much.

 

[digitalbabe]

I did not order this, but I am actually happy to see more limited releases. I hope we see more

 

[Liam125]

I'm not bothered about this at all. A limited-to-1,000 Steelbook with the two protags just sitting there next to a weight below the logo in clichéd Capture-It font is honestly a badly overrated Steelbook for me.

However.

Even more negativity: (Zavvi, please read. Don't read if you're the ones complaining about the negativity, you won't like it.)

Spoiler

I see where every whingy person is coming from. Zavvi if you're reading this, limit the amount of pre-orders for every limited-amount Steelbook you sell to 1 per address & debit card number so nobody can order 2 or more.

I'm sorry, but if you say it's not selfish to order more than 1 for reasons like "oh I'm scared it's going to be damaged in the post", then you're quite wrong. There are other people who like collecting Steelbooks out there, so do it fairly, and stop thinking about yourself. You'll just end up selling it for profit on eBay which is even more unfair. You yourselves are the culprits.

Lol people jumped to the wrong conclusions assuming its 6pm. Nobody said what time it will be, a member tipped off it would be 5pm earlier so i took that info on board and checked zavvi just before 5 and i got an order in

 

[kron]

I actually was snoozing

The first to take me up on my offer. So my spare copy all being well will be winging it's way to the IOW

 

[DK06CTR]

Is this not live yet never sold out already

 

[digitalbabe]

DK, sold out at this time

 

[ricster]

Is this not live yet never sold out already

Been and gone mate. Sorry

 

[JayAre]

damn missed out anyone who ordered 15 want to help me out?

 

[DK06CTR]

What thats takin this piss? Who ordered 50 copies at a time. Pisses me right off

 

[funkeule]

33 minutes live and then sold out...a new record? Am I ever lucky I had the chance. Let's hope for cancellations by some customers.
