Zavvi do on occasions cancel bulk orders but this only happens with highly wanted releases where demand is more than supply
They do have in their terms and conditions max 5 per order

A release that's not in high demand they would not have a restriction as they would be happy with any order if it helped sales

Very limited releases on a few occasions in the past they actually restricted to 2 per customer but that's only happened with 2 releases I can remember

Some stock that comes back available after been listed as sold out is bulk orders that Zavvi cancelled where they suspect the order is for re selling

Decided to cancel this. Reasons:
- Lack of 3D (studio's fault obviously)
- No doubt there will be a trilogy steel which will go well with the others I have
- Money is tight and I'd prefer the IP Man trilogy for the same price

Also cancelled this. Honestly, I found the actual cover quite underwhelming. Would have preferred the "working cover" with the movie poster than this.

For those enjoying this little saga (I ought to create a franchise out of it - then sell the rights to Disney!), here's the response to my question about debossing on the (almost certain to be non-existent) title on the front of the steelbook:

"I have raised this query with our content team who will investigate and we will be in contact in 24-48 hours with an update on this."

Layman's Translation: "I haven't the foggiest what on Earth you are on about!"

Latest update:

"Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch about this concern.

I am very sorry for the long wait. The relevant department has not gotten back to us yet with the query as they are still coordinating with the supplier. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Layman's Translation: "We still haven't the foggiest what on Earth you are on about!"

Anyway, I've now cancelled my Zavvi order and have the Canadian (English) Best Buy edition on it's merry way to me...

 

[Rainpaulo]

Cancelled..... **** sick of these spines.
Normal release is just as nice and alot cheaper.

 

[InAFalsetto]

I would happily own a full slip amaray.

Looks like the European release has a matte finish and includes the dvd, according to the pics I have seen.

 

[Norwichlad]

Will be plenty of these left at that price. I might pick up when half price, prob just wait for 3D release later in year

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

Cancelled mine too, happy enough with my BB one that's on the way.

 

[Headhunter]

Cancelled mine too. Have gone for the English Canadian release.

 

[dLux]

GOOOD guys! Keep canceling anything without a title and MAAAYBE someday they will get it... maybe.

Where did you see some pics? @lights

 

[paulboland]

This is from another website SteelbookPro
The European Steelbook Star Wars The Force Wake is already out in Switzerland, we can get a glimpse of what awaits us in France on 16 April.

These photos tell us about finishing this edition: it is not painted as in America (see NEWS), but this is more like the zero-finish between matt and varnished


After seeing the Steelbook
It's most likely the UK is the exact same not 100% if the UK will include the DVD but it's possible it will as well

Get Ready for Oh My God what is that

 

[zesty]

Cancelled mine as soon as the BB pics came out even though it will be covered anyway

 

[Obi Wan Dandobi]

Yep cancelled mine when I ordered the Japanese set. Expensive but it is star wars after all! This deserved better.

 

[Kizza]

And Cancelled lol.

Now i need to get my hands on the BB version. Late to the party.

That looks terrible

 

[dLux]

ROFL, like missing a title wasnt huge enough, it even has a poor matte finish on top of that when the US one gets glossed. Wow, just wow.

 

[lights]

Where did you see some pics? @lights

On another forum. Same pic as Paul has kindly uploaded.

 

[Vaako]

honesly i don't understand why they release this wihout a title on the front after releasing the other 6 Wars Steelbooks witch all had a title on the front

i would like to have a chat with the people responsible for this and i'm very curious to hear their arguments
