This is the perfect argument for the UK to leave the European Union

"So out of all the factors we have in the situation is it the immigration, business, politics, financial side of things which make you want to leave Europe?"

"Well Terry at the end of the day I'm just sick of titleless Steelbooks that currently plagues the home video and film market and hope there's a small chance leaving will fix this"

"....what?"

Unreal lol
Love it

Plot twist: Terry wants to stay in the EU because of his longing desire for Film Arena imports.

You know you guys are laughing (and I am devilishly funny....and handsome...ish) but honestly with me not really giving a crap about politics if they actually said this would change Steelbooks designs for us in the UK (by some weird, out there miracle) and maybe the fact the UK won't get censored stuff in films or games (like the Last of Us online) then yeah I'd vote out. I mean I want out anyway but that talk is for another time

 

[Blu-devil]

Will probably cancel this seeing as I have the Canadian edition pre ordered and also have dibs on the BF edition.
There's no date advantage with this one, unlike MCU Steelbooks in the UK.

 

[dazza78]

I cancelled mine. I knew there would be no title but always hoped

 

[coxy100]

Cancelled mine as well. Will just be buying the amaray now... (provided it has a spine label!)

 

[Rogue]

Cancelled Zavvi. I'll probably just buy the download for Plex and await the 3D version to buy on hopefully a good steel.

 

[Simon1976uk]

My pre order from Zavvi is cancelled. Im not paying £25 for a steel when i really want the 3D version, I'll wait, and to be fair if there isn't a 3d steel released, this version hasn't sold out in 4 months, and the originals are still available and reduced, so I will simply pick one up if needed then .

 

[moonbucket]

It's so ugly. I'm cancelling my Zavvi and I don't know, the US version with the logo and title is better but still not amazing...

Might get the amaray to tide me over and wait - eventually there will be other releases and boxsets that are better than this.

 

[Moo76]

I'm so mad that this steelbook doesn't match up the the other six. It makes no sense. No title anywhere and a very minor character on the back, it's garbage! Pure laziness from Disney. I wouldn't be surprised if in time this gets reduced in price. I'm cancelling me pre-order.

 

[icharlie17]

Cancelled mine too just now. They won't laugh at me with such a poor release.

Yeah someone sure has a sick sense of humour or something with this artwork and release.

Han Solo would have agreed about the release not living up to expectations and failing.

 

[Punker76]

Is there a group buy for the target digipack? I'd rather have that to be honest.

@apsmith21 is hosting one yes:

I agree, sadly it's much better than any of the steelbook releases for Force Awakens thus far, I've been trying to make my mind up since which release to get, something to fill the void until there is a better steelbook release.

Just follow Drum18's link for apsmith21's Group buy, the shipping has increased so you may wish to combine orders if your not from North America, there is a certain amount that can be combined for shipping together.

Looks more like a mock up image used for the jcard as it don't have any ratings logos but I'm sure will end up been very similar

 

[Jay37]

Sorry guys, late to the party! Have cancelled my Zavvi order too. Shame, this had the potential to be a good 'un...

 

[BluSteel2012]

The Italian one is roughly €10 cheaper on amazon. And in a lot more places around Europe. Exact same steelbook once you remove the J card.

How anyone can support Zavvis extortionate prices is beyond me.

 

[Evil Genius]

For the first time ever, I have cancelled a steelbook order. The ridiculous price, the poor artwork and the lack of any titles for a movie that has such an iconic title, for once made it a no-brainer for me.

obviously a desperate attempt by zavvi to appeased customers who have been very vocal in their criticism of this title-less steelbook, and rightly so. they have lots of bad reviews of this steel on their site already.

people are reporting having their bad reviews deleted, which is shocking really. even i wrote a review that never even got published. it wsnt even offensive. its like some sort of fascist state over there at zavvi at the moment.

seems they think slapping a mock up of a j-card with the title on will make everything better. as if none of us didnt anticipate it would come with a title on the j-card. it changes nothing.

the problem is the title-less steel
