SteelBook Stock Alert-Disney & Pixar

[Wreck]

An interesting turn of events...

Due to production issues, a number of copies of these steelbooks have been deemed unsellable and will therefore be scrapped. This leaves the up to date print runs on the below titles at the below quantities;

UK

Disney Collection: http://www.zavvi.com/offers/steelbooks/the-disney-steelbook-collection.list

Pixar Collection: http://www.zavvi.com/offers/steelbooks/pixar-steelbook-collection.list

TITLES
print run
Monsters Univeristy
4,000
FANTASIA (1 DISC)
3,000
MONSTERS INC
3,000
CARS
3,000
UP
3,000
Brave
3,000
TOY STORY 1 disc
2,600
Planes
2,500
Lone Ranger
2,500
TOY STORY 2 1 disc
2,500
TOY STORY 3 (2DISC BD)
2,500


What can we take from this .... bad news for consumers, good news for collectors. These are the new print run #s for the steels unless I hear otherwise. Obviously Zavvi has sold through X amount of these, but wont be getting anymore. Thus there is only X amount of each of these print run #s.

Take that for what it is worth and if I get anymore news I will share. I thought everyone might appreciate this info and I was allowed to share so here it is at face value. I guess later this year some of those above will become quite collectible. Order your favs now....

All less than 1000

Lone Ranger a couple of hundred

Toy Stories 400ish each so will go quickly – Same with Cars and Up

Fantasia about 500 – But will be the rarest Disney Classic Steelbook in terms of print run

Brave 200 left but cancellations will come

Thanks for the info, but what about Dumbo?

 

[Drum18]

Drum you better get those Toy Story's quick if you want 'em!

I'm on it!

if you are able to order from zavvi.nl (sorry cannot see on my phone which country youre from...): kortnl4 works there for almost every order >40€.. including in-stock disneys and pixars.

Thanks for the tip!
all 3x Toy Story.

Zavvi UK: £61 (113$)
Zavvi NL: €66 (101$) (saved 12$)
So... was totally worth it!

 

[lgans316]

Unfortunately these ones can be had for a discounted price at eBay. Been an absolute bloodbath with these.

As always patience is virtue. So these will eventually become collectible and more sellable.

Are Zavvi.nl still using poly bags to ship steelbooks, or do they now ship them in the little boxes like Zavvi UK?

 

[levi]

I thought this news would make me rush to buy the ones I am missing. The truth is that it doesn't. Fantasia, The Long Ranger, Monsters University and Planes are simply not good enough for various reasons at the current prices and the rest I already own or own alternative versions.

a price drop would be more effective. why scrap something you can sell for 4.99? lol

 

[lgans316]

Wreck,

Correction: UP (1 DISC) -- Should be 2 Disc and no Bonus BD.

 

[ocielz]

Still need The Lone Ranger and Fantasia but I can't justify paying almost $75 for both.........

 

[Soundeath]

Thanks for the info David!
Even if they told us that there were only few dozens left, I wouldn't chase them at this point.
It's always nice to see how Zavvi tries to create a panic when it comes in terms of collecting lol

Perhaps they were scrapped because they were accidentally made in full gloss.

Will be interesting to see if Fantasia will be more sought after...sure, a lower print run, but a poor finish on the back. hmmm

Nice Code!

OK ... finally decided to jump on them before I regret not doing it:

Thanks for the code, severo, and thanks for the heads up, Dave!

I'm trying to order from zavvi nl.. I'm trying to put my address in but the drop box doesn't include the option for uk.. I've read somewhere there is a way around this but I can't remember what thread I saw it in.

can anyone help?

 

[Flash]

hey maybe I'm just tired, or maybe I am stupid (my degree says otherwise) lol, but I am missing what this means?

There are only 500 copies of Fantasia? or 500 left to order? How many in total?

Can someone explain this to me slightly clearer?

why should we rush to buy them all?

All the totals are at the top in the OP.

 

[Wreck]

example: rough numbers

TS1 was 4k ... now its 2.6 ... only 400ish left .. ie 2.2 sold

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

There's an Up 1 disc Steelbook?

 

[Antman]

hmmm...Zavvi email me every other day to tell me that my outstanding order for Toy Story 1 still can't be fulfilled....as it is I'm not actually that bothered...but left hand and right hands and all that....

Folks, please refrain from making public legal claims based on speculation in this community. Thanks.

EDITED POST AS TO NOT MAKE 'PUBLIC LEGAL CLAIMS'

I'll bet you that zavvi NEVER produces another WFRR or Aladdin....EVER. They pump out too much crap, plain and simple. People are sick of it.

IN MY OPINION -

This is just another ploy to get some sales...pretty convenient that the ones that are selling the worst are the ones that now have the lowest print runs. This screams scam to me, but I have no evidence of that.

- END OF OPINION

I have cancelled about 90% of my zavvi pre orders. I'm gonna send my money to the Asians...they put their steelbooks together like their cars...BETTER.

These are not 'legal claims', these are opinions. That's what a forum is for, so people can have a voice.
