Because whilst the studios make the final decisions they also need to keep their customer (retailers) happy. Zavvi fed back how unhappy their customers were with the titleless spines, and a change was made with most recent titles now having spine titles. That's direct feedback from retailer to studio, so yes big thanks to zavvi because they're obviously feeding back the unhappiness from customers at continually preordering based on artwork that is the new changed to something inferior. Whilst they may not be directly responsible for the art they do have an influence, if retailers can't keep their customers happy then the studio loses out on sales, so feedback is a good thing.

I agree they get a thanks for the whole title issue as they seem to have actually fed that back to Disney so now we get spine titles and somtimes front titles but my point was with 3D and final art. That's nothing to do with zavvi. All I meant
 
Well, thanks to the Czech Rep. pics we know what ours will look like in the flesh.

Skull & cross-bones confirmed embossed . . . title looks flat to me.

Steelbook really couldn't have been much better as far as the 'bossing is concerned :)

Finish? Looks like a Satin or Zero varnish to me with spot-gloss to the skull and bones.

Lovely jubbly :thumbs:

Yes, lovely embossing to compare well with the 3 Zavvi exclusives released back in April 2015 although the artwork is more in keeping with a couple of the Canada Future Shop steelbook style:-

HMV exclusive from September 2011 released here in the U.K. also fits in well with the series artwork-wise despite the lack of 'bossing . . . but as we can see that has a fully printed back as well as the obligatory - for the time - printed banner header:-

Literally cancelled this yesterday evening! :OMG::angel: Didn't feel comfortable dropping £25 for this even though I have the first 3 from Zavvi. May try and pick up at a later date.

Saying that, I've just been charged for HMV's Wonder Woman 2 weeks in advance which is incredibly annoying :banghead: Thought I had sufficient time to cancel that in favour of a premium release o_O:cautious:
