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;

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

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.

Well that's what the plan was. I guess soon enough we will see how effective it was, and if it happens again.

Be interesting to see now if any of these sell out in next few days or weeks


With the exception Planes that will still struggle to sell out in my opinion

 

[ben6212]

I guess it will make these titles slightly more desirable but not interested in planes the lone ranger or monsters uni.

 

[Noodles]

Appreciate the info!

Planes is the only one I still don't own... doubt I ever will at that price either.

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

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

 

[Tacozilla]

hmm the only one I'm interested in is Cars, might use my Zavvi points to get it for £11

 

[8bitheart]

If the Zavvi MU had the 3D disc, i'd buy in a heartbeat along with the first one. But I already have the first one in 3D Amaray... oh I don't know what to do..!

 

[pdbluray]

Still expensive considering the Blufans releases I may just wait, Zavvi should control its urge to sell so many steelbooks a month.

 

[RDE]

Ive been waiting for price drops on the Toy Story films and Monsters Inc, i guess thats not happening now. I still dont think ill bite at the current £20 prices either

 

[steelbookfan2012]

are there any discount codes?

 

[justboy]

So does scanavo just have to bear the cost of the bad batch? Seems strange for them not to honour a full order.

 

[severo]

are there any discount codes?

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.

 

[SlyFondle]

Wonder how many of the remaining copies have spine slashes? They never seem to be deemed unsellable

'Planes' is just unsellable, end of story!

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

If I were Zavvi, I would reduce all to £9.99 to clear stock
