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.

there's already a better version as an alternate selection to this one and it's numbered as well.

In the czech republic film arena.

By the way,
this Czech shop packs Steelbook's
so well, that we can ride by the tank on this package....
On 5kg package weight: 2,5kg = Steelbook's, 2,5 kg = packaging materials.

Why is it a better version? What are the differences, except for the limitation and Czech J-Card?

Best wishes,

Michael

Imo i dont think it is any better. Its just numbered and has a lower print run

And its the j card which is numbered, not the actual steelbook

Its crazy but for some people that equates to better. I don't get it either.

 

[hayemaker]

If you care about numbered J-cards, can read Czech and want to pay higher shipping costs, then that one is better.

theres a gb open on here for the Czech version by Carllenc

The fact that it isn't sold by Zavvi makes it better for that person

Lucky to get one on pre order! Stupid it's only 1000

I dunno. Seems kinda smart to me. Zavvi has been eating a lot of s**t and having to sit on an pile of steelbooks that people are not snapping up recently. Point Break, and Jungle book for example. It is wise on their part to keep some of these films at low edition numbers IMHO.

And this is coming from a guy that missed out on this one before it sold out.

Yes I guess that is true. Well it sold out then I was lucky enough to get one when people who pre ordered loads got cancelled and put back up for pre order

Missed this one, film was average so not the end of the World.

 

[NinjaFeetz]

Missed this one as well, but they haven't charged people yet which means there will inevitably be cancellations before the release date. Haven't seen it yet so not going to bother with it until I do (learnt my lesson with Pacific Rim which turned out being a rental at best).

:movie:Sorry you didn't like it. I'll be happy to take it off your hand.

So is Zavvi gonna do anything to make this one stand out? Like maybe a sticker or something on the slip??

It will have UK ratings, those always make UK releases stand out
