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.

The Czech steel looks pretty good to me, I think the embossing looks really smart.

Add the glossy characters and lettering and I think it looks decent enough.

Put it this way, I've seen much worse!

I enjoyed the movie but this is a $15 title to me, would not want to pay more to have it in a steelbook and a SE BD was just released.

Yeah. People are waaaay too critcal on Zavvi steelbooks, calling them Zavvi crap eventhough its clearly a worldwide release . And judging steels without sufficient photos. From that pic it looks decent but am sure it will look much better when we actually get some good pics circulating. And say what you want, but its the exact same finish as Thor HMV and no ones complaining about that one. As for the price, this is the cheapest one to get for importers. My order stays.

 

[Jnavotheman]

Cancelled mine as I haven't even seen the movie and probably never will, I'll let someone enjoy this who actually wants them

Limited to 1000 units in UK
All these cancelled orders its not so limited

 

[blu-steel]

I still say this is the funniest movie of the year. Hard to believe its actually a true story.

 

[Drum18]

I've just cancelled this one.
I just can't justify the price of this for a blind buy...

ditto to that.

 

[Halimbo]

ditto to that.

I know to each his own and all that, so recommendations should be taken with a pinch of salt.

But this is the best blind buy you'll ever make.

 

[Rainpaulo]

Just cancelled mine...another one up for grabs...saw the film....no way I'm paying that price for it limited or not....good luck to who ever gets it.

 

[Noodles]

I personally loved the film (Bay's best imo) and I also like the in-hand pics of the steelbook, so will be keeping my order. Can't wait to receive it!

 

[rebelrocks]

Well I had 2 ordered and decided to cancel them both so there is some more to be had.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I've been monitoring the crap out of this but despite all the order cancellations, I've yet to see it re-appear. Do Zavvi put stock back into the system immediately or wait a while?

 

[cooey]

I would imagine will save all the cancellations and then put it back up for pre-order on a specified date, which when we find out we shall post on here

Thank you, sir.

That would be great, who you will report it, I'm looking forward to THANK YOU!

Cancelled my order yesterday. Too expensive and far too many countries been getting the same release w/ artwork. Not so rare anymore.

 

[Nickcook1845]

Surely can't be long until this is back on sale with all these cancellations!!

 

[ben6212]

Surely can't be long until this is back on sale with all these cancellations!!

they'll probably do what they did with the disney steels and put all the cancelations up at once
