The Burning (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter rj531
- Start date
Amazon have only 42 in stock this will be gone soon
Arrow Video the distributor it's OOP as in Out of Print
Any stock with retailers is all that's available when they sell out it's gone they cant re order more stock as arrow don't have any
Once retailers sell what stock they have it will only be available from third party sellers
So this batch from Amazon, £24.99, are you speculating that this is the last batch that has arrived to their warehouse?
This stock is from the original order amazon gave to arrow films
Customer cancellations and failed payment orders and stock found at amazon warehouse
It has not come back in stock with other retailers that are sold out because it's OOP
Any stock still available with retailers is what they ordered from arrow before it went OOP with Arrow
Arrow would have kept a small amount of stock to cover replacements but only a small amount

Steelbook doesnt seem anything special, cant understand the rarity of it. 24.99 seems bit steep for RRP.
It's not. A lot of people panic bought when it came back in stock after allegedly selling out.
I rarely buy Zavvi steels nowadays so it must've had something special going for it for me to pre-order. It's the first UK Blu-ray release of a decent slasher flick, the DVD alone retails for £9. I love the artwork, finish is the usual Arrow standard, matte, could've done with some nice spot gloss on the title maybe but the steel itself doesn't feel flimsy. I give credit when it's due, this release is what I'd call definitive and doesn't feel rushed so I'm not disappointed. Thanks Arrow!
The Burning was one of the most repeated requested titles fans asked arrow video to release it has been a highly wanted release and is why the steelbook sold very well
Arrow Video Matte steelbooks are quality matte finish not like other UK film studios poor matte finish
Amazon have only 34 left in stock

Big Trouble........ steelbook is nothing special either. I have it but don't consider it to be great steel
I know. Just saying that I find it difficult to understand people paying premium prices for a very average steel.
It's personal preference at the end of the day. To me it's just an average steel but it is the cult fan base that drives up the price and only a single worldwide release. The DVD on amazon is £16! Stargate is probably one of the most awful Zavvi steels released. I seen them sold for upto £50 because only a few releases worldwide for this. Even cruddy steels can make the top market. A lot of premium asian steels have all dropped in value. Too many releases overload the market then the value drops. So some of these rare cult classic movies with a single release have potential to increase in rarity and value. Doesn't have to be a blockbuster pretty premium steel.
Amazon have only 24 left in stock
Note you can add 999 to basket but it will only tell you how many are actually available when you go to complete checkout
This wont be available for much longer and third party prices will start to rise a lot soon
£24.99 is the recommended retail price (RRP) and is why amazon price is now the RRP price
£17.99 was a reduced pre order price and once released was increased to the RRP price
It's not a release with lot of stock available to be at a reduced price

Big fan of Arrow steelbooks and to tell the truth big fan of Arrow products in general from the early window slipcase editions with artcards/posters to the later dual format editions, mostly with reversible artwork, in the clear white Amarays to the boxsets and collector's sets. Quite pricey products initially (and deservedly so it could be said what with the comprehensive Special Features etc.) but I find I can pick up 90% of items in one or other of their regular sales for quite a bit less than the original advertised prices.
Regarding THE BURNING: nothing to add to what I've written before and in the same way that I find with Eureka steelbooks not one is a steelbook that makes me go "Wow!" . . . although each one is very stylish with well thought out artwork that perfectly represents the film in a classy way all I can say is that I don't dislike any of them . . . but I will say that THE BURNING with the Phantom City Creative front artwork is up there with the best of them.
(STARGATE steelbook artwork is sweet IMO although not a patch on the artwork on the slipcover of the Amaray edition which is totally gorgeous).

I love the arrow steelbooks too and it's clear they put a lot of effort into them even as far as making them very distinctive and very different from the normal blu-ray packaging. Long may they continue
