What other disney films are in the so called vault which havnt been released yet I thought this one was tbh

I'm not sure to be honest.

BatB has already been released as you say but Disney UK has this rip-off method of making more money.
They stop printing a title and say it's going into the vault. This means shops run out of stock of the title and the price rockets for it (BatB beast is about £40-£50 ATM).
They then re-release a couple of years later and can get full price for it.

It's kind of stupid because you can import the Italian version for £15ish and it's identical apart from Italian text on the cover and disc.

That rule no longer applies in the UK. BatB is getting rereleased later in the year. Amazon has it up on their site.

Are you sure it's not just coming out of the vault, it's roughly due for it anyway.

Think I may miss this as I will be out without an Internet connection.

with the recent announcements of the blufans steelbooks coming up next week I am going to have to save my money, as this on ebay will be less than the blufans steelbooks.

...And there's hardly any of the major classics left anyway. I guess Sleeping Beauty and BatB are the two big ones. I'd love to see both Winnie the Pooh films get the steel treatment.

Info from another site that's usually is correct but sometimes gets it wrong but not that often
Pre-orders will be live around 6pm on the 10th August (ignore the ‘sold out’ button for now).


If that's correct it not live until Sunday 10th around 6.00pm (18.00)

i was guessing it will be live tomorrow. Snow White for today, and Lion King on Sunday.

why does lion king cost £1 more than snow white? lol

Back when I started collecting I checked out all prior releases and picked the beset one. Since then I have doubled up on a lot of titles, 40 probably. I am going to stop doing so much of that. No TLK or SW for me this weekend. Recently resisted Pocahontas as I have the US amaray slip. Still down for some Blufans/Kimchi/Taiwan slip double dips though.

Originally, this was set to go live tomorrow. From what people have said here and in the OP it says that it's going live today. Was that confirmed by anyone? Scared to leave my PC

 

[perchut]

Looks like it's going to be tomorrow ^^

 

[paulboland]

Its down for Sunday 10th UK 6pm to go live
If it changed you will see someone post info its gone live

As far as we know its not until tomorrow Sunday 10th
I would just keep eye out for next couple of hours if info was wrong

If only the slips had no rating logos (I guess UK is the worst in this regard) and a full printed image on the back it would probably be easier to resist upgrading to steelbooks and digibooks. But a lot of the embossing effects are better on cardboard than metal. I remember those Looney Tunes Golden Collection digipacks. Those had some really nice embossing.

I got the Lion King Tawian steel, but I'm still getting this one. Though I agree with those who say it should have been Scar on the back.

Can I stop refreshing the page every minute now? Or is there still a chance of going live tonight?

My favourite Disney classic by far. I picked up the HMV exclusive in wooden box a couple of years back, but can't not have the steelbook version.

 

[DrH]

My second favourite Disney Film behind BATB.
will have to add this to the collection, having the HMV wooden box which is awesome, the Asian steel which is Awesome, the UK lenticular slip for the 3d version which is awesome, the 2d version which is pretty good as well.
Can't wait
