I was quick to jump on this release as I thought it might be selling out quick and looks stunning. But I'm struggling to justify it on the grounds it's not one I'm going to watch a great deal at all..

 

[Blu-devil]

Luckily I was never a Disney fan, except for Pixar of course. Saved me so moolah.

 

[Paulapips]

So looking forward to this one x

Anyone else confused as to why this has not soldout already? It was crazy with Aladdin.. but this and Jungle Book seem to be sticking around forever.

It sold out recently, then back on sale.. Like a rolling print run so Zavvi can sell around 30k of them!

Makes limited edition take on a whole new meaning

 

[funkydamo]

if its a case of zavvi printing off as many as they can to fulfill as many pre-orders as possible... we should all order 50 copies, and then cancell them all but 1 each the week before release.
leave zavvi with a million copies they will never sell.
that'll stop them turning a limited edition into a bad penny.
of course, it might also stop them bothering with steels altogether lol.

Agree

 

[wayne71]

And to make matter worse.

Zavvi outlet states this is released 24th june, and their awaiting stock!!!!

And to add insult, shipment date is still 23rd september.

By doing this are customers being charged immediately?

 

[Thisisnotsparta]

Most likely as they require immediate payment. On ebay I believe you are not allowed to sell pre-orders more than a month in advance, which would be why they would state the release as 24th june.

 

[ABjerg]

Still no back/inside art. I'm really looking forward to see what they'll do with that.

Yet on play.com they can say the actual release date cant they?

 

[hatredhorror]

you do realize that its actually your paranoia that makes this go oos and back all the time..

heres how it goes:
1. tlm sells out (print run 10000 with maybe 5-10% cancelations)
2. zavvi restocks canceled quantity
3. ninjas freakout + feel manipulated for no reason and cancel their "group buy" extracopies which is i guess ~ 20-30% of the quantity
4. no one buys it

i just hope you dont ruin zavvi, because i actually like what theyre doing for us collectors

 

[smileyx9]

I always buy very selective-order my Steels and don`t care if they are sold out or not so no one is manipulating me - you Guys out there should calm down a little bit
Got my Steels ordered and i`m happy about getting some beautys not more not less
besides that,Steelbook collecting is my Hobby-not an obsession

 

[neoz]

I went ahead and preordered one.

Are they currently any zavvi promo codes going on right now?

5. Zavvi will think twice about ordering more and more stock next time and maybe about the constant increase in price.

Cancelled mine to save cash and its not one of the Disney films I'd watch over again.

Kept Jungle Book though! (As a pretend gift for my 11 month son).

I have heard that toddlers love the feel of a steelbook and always make sure it's well looked after.
