"Pocahontus". Is that the brother?

I wanted to get Maleficent, but it was just too expensive at this point, especially with those Indy steels coming round the mountain.

Do you think this is going to have the little head on the spine like all the other Disney steelbooks? I hope so. It seems to be missing from the the artwork shown on the site... same with Snow White.

The quad of highly anticipated Indy steels is indeed coming around the corner, and all on the same day I believe. My wallet is gunna take a big hit, especially at x2.
BUT, Maleficent ain't coming round the corner, hell it ain't even on the horizon. No release date set yet FYI my bro. You got time to recover from the Indy hit

Without a doubt.

A few of the mock-ups were shown without the Disney logo on the spine, yet were there on the final product. Aladdin is the only one without a Disney logo so far. So, I'd be amazed if there isn't a picture on the spine like the rest. It's just a shame they vary in height a bit (as do the titles now, which used to be nicely centralised). It's a pity too that there's a pointless gap under the picture. Certificates used to be there, but only the early few Disney steelbooks had them (Cars 2, Prince of Persia).

SOLD OUT

 

[guamasdf2]

What the... SOLD OUT?? OMG

 

[Lollard2002]

Not surprised. The only surprise for me is I thought Snow White would sell out first.

Agreed, I'm surprised that Snow White hasn't sold out!

 

[Lollard2002]

I think the Lion king is excellent but for me it would not be in my top tear of disney animation. Excellent but not exceptional.
Prepares for bricks being hurled his direction........

 

[paulboland]

Sold Out
Expected that to happen
Sold out in about 29 hours

I expect Snow White will be tomorrow or next day

 

[yurydalkou]

sold out!!!

 

[blurayhunter]

It'll be back, dont believe the hype!

It'll be back, dont believe the hype!

Agreed, can't see many coming back in stock, but I do question myself why I rush to get some of the Disney pre-orders (excluding this and Snow White which I think will likely not come back as available for long). You pay full price, they 'sell out' and then most of them come back and I wonder why I bother buying at initial release, especially with all the 15% and 20% off when you buy this Disney release or that release etc. I had to wait for ages for Alice in Wonderland to come back and really thought I missed it and now it's been available on the website for ages.

 

[lgans316]

This still has the potential to sell out early as it is a very popular title but it is an unpredictable market out there.

I for one don't want to risk paying hiked-up ebay prices, so better safe than sorry...
