Very rapid sell out of THE MUMMY trilogy boxset at over 50 quid a pop which was not unexpected with SCOTT PILGRIM taking longer to sell out which was also not unexpected . . . I'd say they're doing just fine, as it goes
Going forward, I wish them all the best in their endeavors and looking forward to a release that I'll be interested in buying (like the "Mummy" set).
Surprised that EBlu is sharing the U.K. print run with Zavvi (or vice versa) for this new steelbook as they ruled that out the last time I suggested it in October 2015:-
Q - The idea of 'Premium Limited Editions' is a good one and a familiar concept to those buyers of premium editions with lenticular sleeves, artcards etc. from other countries.
What is offered here though is not quite what I had in mind when I was thinking about the best way to do this here in the U.K.
What I had in mind was more a partnership with Zavvi but ONLY for their "Ultra Limited Edition" steelbooks (those with print runs of 1,000 or 1,500 or 2,000 max.) with Zavvi allocating a certain percentage to EB, say 10 / 15%, of each of these runs for EB to make more special/more collectable/more desirable. These would then be 'worth' the GBP 25 asking price IMO even though this figure could be as much as GBP 10 over the cost of the original Zavvi steelbook ...virkia, Oct 18, 2015
A: EverythingBluStore - As we said we are working on many different options and trying to carve ourselves into the market. The kind if editions we are after will be competition for what's already out there.
Postage is charged at cost, Royal Mail Business account, all items are sent tracked to avoid any disputes. Unfortunately this also brings the VAT charge as well. Considering it's fully tracked and 2 day delivery for £4.20 to the UK it's a good price. Again, prices come down the more we sell.
The case of splitting runs with zavvi, that's impossible. What we have learned from particular studios is that SteelBooks are designed in house.
It's very easy to say it should be this kind of release or that kind of release but again, you can't just turn up in the market and get any release you wish but building a small portfolio will help us gain bigger titles.
The majority of your suggestions are already being worked on. EverythingBlu does have a large following and we hoped the original members and also new members wanting to support a UK retailer would do so with purchasing a copy of Killer Klowns. Whether you did or not, we are greatly appreciative however you support EverythingBlu, Oct 18, 2015
