I think the $49 price tag is off putting to a lot of people

Could be. But it is a really good movie IMO, and the run is so low I think it's still worth it. I guess even the super low run was more than the demand/interest. I really thought these would sell out quickly, even at the price.

Sold out or not, WWA or not this is still dope!! both the flick and the slips... can't really pass on Nova releases

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

Think of lot of people will cancel this now after it hasn't sold out

 

[Covcraig]

Why would they cancel just because it hasn't sold out?

For the first time I'm not surprised it hasn't sold on nova

Diabolical Steelbook

Not feeling the love for this one. Why are you not surprised? I am. I was ready when it went live to order expecting a pretty quick sell out. There must have been decent activity because it did require multiple refreshes and it was very slow. Am I missing something here. Great movie, looks to be a very nice lenticular, and a very low run. Price is a bit on the high side. Maybe like $10.00 to $13.00 U.S. more than typical but given the low run that doesn't seem outrageous.

Lot of people will probably buy just because it'll sell out and they wont have the chance to get it at retail. Knowing getting it at retail later on wont be difficult, they might choose to opt to buy it later on. That and if the hype is dead, some people wont want one

I'm not surprised for various reasons
• GB didn't have much interested for a while
• a lot of people are unhappy with this steel and it's bad zoomed in cropped front art with a bad finsh
• blu fans has a far superior steel coming out for the same price as this. And judging by their marvel lentis I assume their lenti will be the same nova high grade
• I can imagine uk buyers are picking and choosing these releases more carefully
• Christmas coming up a lot of people are picking and choosing.


Not sure why the site took
Some refreshing, maybe to do with nova changing severs and this being one of the first orders in a while. Just a guess

Yep movie is 20/10, perfect and novas lenti looks incredible but I can spend the same amount of money on a beautiful WEA and it will have a simular style lenti.

The nova lenti and blu fans front art is my fav art for this so its great it's being used by both but the WWA is a no go for me this time

I love nova FYI but I'm sick of spending these prices on WWA when for the same amount I can get a better WEA steel of the same movie.
Done it too much with marvel and force awakens.

I did say i would continue the marvel NC line to match the others but I'm not so sure now. I'll be buying it just for their lenti , PET and a magnetic spine and thats too much money for just those. Nova always let me down with the post and art cards IMO. Everything else is top notch but they need to focus on some WEA. Like nightcrawler

Glad I didn't go for the GB. I ordered the Full Slip B. Holofoil got me sold

 

[wouter]

bought it today, had also my doubts about the finishing, but love the movie. and grabbed Dredd black full slip on my way out...

 

[frankfish44]

No way I was passing this up. I really like the lenti and full slip B. Now bring on AOU exclusive

Am I seeing things?! All editions, even the One Click, still available a day well after the original pre-order date?! Wow, that's a huge surprise. Even though there are quite a few people who (rightfully) dislike the steelbook, the packages themselves sure did look like (almost) instant sell outs to me. Plus consider the low print run. Maybe it would have helped if they had shown samples before the pre-order started.
Maybe all those who held off buying will be all over the Blufans release then...

[Jeek]

They should really check their system.
I think its impossible that these are ALL still in stock

Personally I LOVE the WWA Steelbook ! Loved Full Slip B until I read that the finish would intend the use of Holofoil, total turn off for me in regards to its finish.

I know by saying this people will jump on me but I am not feeling AT ALL the Blufans WEA, it feels like its put together wrong.

Like I said, I love the WWA Steelbook so the FAC release will definitely be for me. Maybe Kimchi also will come up with something, always Possible.
