Anyone care to comment on the HD video quality? How is the transfer?

Just received mine in the shape of a Banana . Hope Zavvi gets some cancellations so I can get another copy.

I doubt very much that Zavvi will list any more of these for sale. I think they've sold through everything they had now

What are eBay prices doing? Is there much demand for this title, given that it's currently the only release of this film on Blu-Ray in the United Kingdom? Is there much demand for this (like with the Roger Rabbit one), or are the prices reasonable?

Got mine from the cudzndrips GB. Looks good in hand, steel not sure how I feel about the border.

I just wondering about this steelbook and I see it's sold out. That's awesome I hope everyone got their copies in good condition, now that it's sold out it'll go for a pretty penny on eBay.

I can officially say my Disney collection will be incomplete. I could barely watch this on cable. Just not to my liking. Skipped this,Jungle book & Little mermaid ( not really worth it )

My Disney will be incomplete. I need to acquire Aladdin, but there's no way I'm buying a Planes.

Whoa, that is rough.

Those are some of the top films from Disney. You must not like Disney much.

Got the little Mermaid 3D release in the US. Will pick up JB for cheap on the bay if I can. Rocketeer is an absolute NO. Not watchable for me.

Rocketeer is an absolute NO. Not watchable for me.

I'm a huge fan of the movie, but I can also understand why a lot of people haven't taken a shine to it. It's not quite a straight adventure/action movie, and it has a very peculiar pacing to it. All my friends who don't like it complain that it's boring, but I'm completely enamored by the world it presents.

Anyway, my copy arrived today. It's absolutely gorgeous and I'm insanely happy I managed to snag a copy when it came on order again.

If they're going to do a border that's how it should've been. The halfway there look just doesn't do it for me.

That's not looking too bad but I'd never wrap some electrical tape around any of my steels even more so this one. Each to there own though.

Just wanted to post this scan:

This is a really nice steelbook in hand. Looking forward to getting round to watching this.

 

[rodtp]

I agree! Got my copy today and I really like it. It looks better in real life than over the photos for sure!

 

[texansfan26]

Got mine in and it arrived in horrible condition. It was literally bent so bad that the steelbook case arches badly when placed on a flat surface. Zaavi really needs to get their act together when it comes to shipping steelbooks. Happy to hear that many of you fellow ninjas received undamaged copies. Now to see how Zaavi will deal with this matter.

 

[jonpeat]

You are lucky. My copy never arrived. I have submitted a claim with Zavvi but since it went to the relevant department last Monday I have heard nothing! The CS is utter rubbish!

 

[Steeler]

Finally got around to unwrapping this one. I actually quite like that border, I think it fits pretty well with the artwork, even though having a completely grey border would have looked cleaner. Also, this is one of the few steelbooks I think actually benefit from a matte finish. I'm glad I got this one in the end.

I got mine recently from a group buy-I have never seen the film, but it seems like a story I would enjoy. It's one of the nicer Steels I've seen-the embossing seems to go well with the font used in the art, etc.
