So they had time to make another 1.5k in that short period?

Hahaha, could you imagine?! That would be DUUUUBIOUS!!

 

[sunnyx]

i just hope they didn't get the new batch from germany.

lol that would be funny. 'Excuse me Amazon DE may I borrow some? '

 

[marcnotrust]

Y

actually it was live around 5:20pm UK time, no?

Yeah, Definitely just before 5:30.

 

[Vegano]

I bet they had 4000 to begin with. If its not numbered there is no way you can prove any numbers from zavvi..

Or anybody else, i suppose!

 

[sunnyx]

I thought it was 5pm lol. Was wandering why it was late!

STEPHEN KING'S IT
STEELBOOK

Stephen King's It - Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray

Limited to just 1500 copies

Paul are you able to confirm if 1,500 or 1,500 + 1,000?

I like rare items, and on this it becomes the deciding factor. Others may not agree but that's how I hang.

Keep up the great work Paul.

not even when it's numbered you can really trust them.
remember the "numbered" edition of "city of god"?

 

[sunnyx]

Hahaha, could you imagine?! That would be DUUUUBIOUS!!

This is all pretty eFF'ed up if you are asking me. So sell out in less than an hour and they have 1.5k print slowly tucked in their sleeves ready for dispatch 2 weeks later. Yes Zavvi, very clever and sneaky. Hyping the 1000 print run when in reality it was probably 4k for all we know. Todd @blu-steel is right, there is no way to confirm what the print run really is...

 

[Filmbloke]

Not sure what the December release date is about - mine is already preparing for dispatch!

wtf! are they allowed to state "pre-order" and then ship it the same hour? what if i don't have the money ready now, or want to place my order now, and decide later if to keep or cancel?

 

[blu-steel]

Got my little order in. Not to thrilled about this one. There will be plenty for sale I am sure.

 

[Flloydo]

Has Zavvi (or the studio) admitted that they are printing more?

Where was that confirmed?

If they are doing this, then what other steelbooks have they done this with? Where does this end now?

I have lost whatever respect I had for Zavvi if this has been confirmed........

This isn't the first time zavvi have extended a print run (if that's the case for this steel) and other retailers have done it too

Jungle book and possibly little
Mermaid were extended print runs

I have a feeling the orginal toy story and a few other pixars were too like up due to them being free through Disney rewards but that's just a guess

Yep I was thinking the same. I had to cancel and re-order with a different card which actually has some money in lol. Saw Dec pre-order date thought plenty of time for money to come in and now everyone's getting ready for dispatch!

as far as i remember some pixar steelbooks had in fact a print run <4000 because of some defective / damaged / misprint copies. i believe wreck stated this information a long time ago. but again, info coming from zavvi, who knows if you can trust or not...

 

[virkia]

Who cares about the print run?
Glad I got my copy . . . period.

 

[Starling]

The plot thickens.

How can the studio decide to sell more on the back of the sell out, when the sellout was only a few weeks ago, but already Zavvi have them manufactured, produced and now ready to ship???

You are right, Some were damaged and I believe something like planes turned out to be the rarest in terms of amount of copies lol (Which is odd because it was free on Disney rewards - I refused to buy it but then a while after I had points about to run out and ended up getting it for free)

But jungle book was definately extended and I think mermaid too

I always thought in "some" cases damaged copies might be returned for replacements or extra is printed anyway just in case of damages and after a few months of initial release once most copies customers have bought and the majority or returns processes are completed they might get those copies to sell also (again just a guess/ hunch)

If I can remember correctly they were an 8K print run. But I cannot recall when it was 'increased'. I thought that was the actual print run. I think the difference with this is they sell out, give a Dec pre-order date again, but have stock loads ready for dispatch.
