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.

I ordered two and you can have my extra if it doesn't come back in stock.

Offer also good for any long standing USA member that misses out if you want to pass.

I missed out, so if he passes I will gladly accept.

 

[Kuzco]

Missed it
If anyone's got an extra copy, I would be really grateful

very bad zavvi

This is not a good way to treat regualar costumors WHO buy every zaavi release, make 1k print. I feel very bad about zavvi now.

 

[SlyFondle]

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

Did you click on the spoiler link to the back cover art?

I thought on their small print it states 5 per customer..

 

[Kill4Steel]

As Wreck said 1k run in UK ... who knows how many elsewhere. Just stating again so people dont complain later thinking its 1k total (world)

 

[biglee]

Where did you read this then?

 

[kenny222]

Couple more points.

A 1000k or 4000k run is 1000000 and 4000000 units respectively.

Also. They guy saying they've create their buzz and hype train by activating it for an hour makes a valid tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist point. But he fails to realise that fickle steelbook community will cancel in their droves if more are released. Whilst some thought the movie was terrific (my view) others do want this for the limited number alone and would cancel in a heartbeat if the rarity is no longer so.

Where did you read this then?

It's clearly stated in Zavvi's T&Cs

I seen that after my comment haha, but I still wouldn't buy it.

It's clearly stated in Zavvi's T&Cs

It was also stated in Play's T&C's. I don't think they really care. More products per customer = more profit (lower shipping costs).

Apart from the heads up from Zavvi on the most informative Steelbook forum on the internet over 10 days before they listed the pre-order, the email they sent out to their own database and also repeatedly tweeting about it on twitter, I'd have to agree that they handled this really badly!

In this instance you'd have to say that they did everything they could to ensure the Steelbook buying audience were well enough informed to make plans to be at a computer if they wanted to order one.

It keeps getting said that this will come back for pre-order at some point. I'm sure those who missed it will get another chance to bag a copy

how can it save on shipping since they ship everything seprately?

 

[bloodsnake007]

Son of a... I missed out on this I knew this would happen! Oh well...

 

[Dino Last]

Seriously don't be too upset on missing out on this film, especially if it was a blind buy. The front looks as bad as the film that's inside it.

The movie isn't bad.

 

[bloodsnake007]

This film wasn't the best, but it sure was entertaining!

If you read their terms and conditions under the heading 'orders' it mentions their clearly

Shame you feel that way. I thought the movie was excellent.
