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.

hope this will be numbered .. common zavvi

 

[DarkKnight71]

Agreed

 

[Thisisnotsparta]

I just hope they change the release date, otherwise Royal Mail will likely lose them or they end up with big dents in them from all the crap piled on top.

 

[cooey]

23rd December is the UK release date so I doubt it'll change

I WANT NUMBERED!

 

[ETSC]

Why do people want numbered?
It doesn't make it any more limited.
All it does is put an ugly number on the artwork, and it will most likely mean lots of other people will have a better copy than you.
I have no problem if they can have something on the J-card or a sticker that says something like "Zavvi exclusive limited to 1000"
But I would like to state, I am fully against numbered steelbooks, especially this one.

it's nice to know what number you have, worked well with ES's World War Z in my opinion.

 

[lgans316]

Worked well in terms of being unique but not in terms of sales.

 

[laffe]

And the number can he a sticker on the j-card?

 

[Kashby]

I wasn't a fan of the laser etched numbering, but I also hate ES "limited to a xxxx copies" they should put a little sticker on the back "number xx of xx" that way it gives the custome a choice if they want it or not.

Been contemplating canceling this since the day i ordered it. Must say im swaying more towards canceling it now. Really trying hard to see the wow factor in this at all besides 1k copies.

 

[cooey]

I must admit I was contemplating cancelling mine, but now I know it'll be the same disc as the new US special edition I'm quite happy to keep it

 

[Kashby]

I cancelled mine a few weeks ago.

 

[paulboland]

I cancelled mine a while back as I have a lot of steelbooks on order
I was do I keep it or not
1000 limited was tempting but I had to rethink as why I need this
I decided on this is this a movie I would like and want to keep answer was NO
Even though its a very limited release
It was clear to me I don't need this as I purchase to keep not sell so was no point me keeping my order

So its at least 1 that may come back to order when cancelled orders put back for sale
I'm sure I'm not alone and cancelled just I'm willing to admit I have

Hope someone when it goes live again get's there order in

Any updates for the date of this release? is it still scheduled for the 23rd?

According to the listing on zavvi.com, yes.

 

[cooey]

Just under 2 weeks to go for this is released

Still hoping i might be able to grab a cancelled copy. I only want it because i like the film otherwise i would'nt be interested, print run isn't a factor in what steelbooks i buy.

I'm debating cancelling mine due to this bloody hold charge from MS whilst they replace my XB1 but I may offer if up to a Nija instead. Ill post in the trading forum if that's the case.

My order was cancelled by Zavvi, so keep an eye and it will be available
