And the mock up of the French Titanic had an upside down spine and it was released that way.

No trouble for me... I don´t look at spines.

French have upside spines as standard.

Glad I got my pre-order in at Zavvi now for less than £18

I have had 3 steelbooks Cancelled by Zavvi when I pre-ordered & they later put the price up. When I emailed Zavvi to ask why they had cancelled my order, I got the same response " Sorry You can pre-order @ the new price " Good luck getting it @ under £18.

Gonna pass on this one. The generic font used on the title as well as the poorly Photoshopped artwork with Giant Robo kills it for me.

Ordered from Amazon. The price will drop lower than Zavvi before release

Ordered from Amazon. The price will drop lower than Zavvi before release

Either that or it will 'sell out' only for Amazon to bring it back at a higher price after the release date

Yep, noticed they have done that on a couple of releases of late!

My pre-order is still sitting there mate, £17.96 I've never had Zavvi (**touch wood**) delete any of my orders

Ayone know if this is the 'extended' Criterion version of the film.

The Criterion version is the directors cut, which this is

[Konflick]

Pre ordered @Amazon and i like the price now

 

[Jacko]

Couldn't resist @Amazon's price. Now need to decide what to drop!

 

[ihategiantspiders]

I'm still not sold on that front or new font, but hey it's the remastered Robocop and I'll bite at that price. I still think they should have used the original poster art though. Cheers for the heads up on price drop filmbloke. Now they need to reduce Leon big time over at Amazon.
