It took them an eternity to shift the last lot. Why do we keep getting the same old crap re-released time and time again when there's much better stuff around?

Not necessarily because it was "crap", but because it most likely had a large printrun.

Films that were nominated for 8 Oscars, 4 Golden Globes, and winning 3 BAFTAs are probably going to see regular rereleases. In this case, David Lynch's star has risen a lot even just in the last few years, and this is a new 4K edition, not just a repackage of the same blu-ray; so there are probably more people interested now than when the previous steelbook came out. As I tell myself every time I see the tenth steelbook release for some lame Marvel film: If you don't like, don't buy. ;)
 
So this one's truly a Zavvi-only exclusive? I'm only seeing the collector's boxed set elsewhere.
 
Zavvi debit card charged 2 days ago but not had my order shipped yet

Hopefully will be on Monday or Tuesday be dispatched
Yes, I've been finding there's been a bigger gap than usual between charging the card and receiving a dispatch email. Understandable in the circumstances, though, of course.

I think we can be pretty sure there'll be no public holiday this year and even there was I don't see people rushing to the beaches! A public holiday in which there is no public to enjoy it.
