and pre-ordered
people that are hanging on and thinking about the price drop this one is only 3000 not the regular 4000. so it will be gone quicker just remember you have been warned

remember golden rule pre-order now relent in leisure, how many times have we heard damn thought it would have lasted longer or was expecting a price drop

It'll be back nearer release date and possibly with a discount code so people will be livid if they order at full price. I don't mind ordering at full price with some retailers but seeing as how it's Zavvi and I'll have to go head to head with their CS, I need the compensation.

On that note will order with VBOX50 if they are still available tomorrow.

Had to order it....again from zavvi. Couldn't resist because this is my favorite classic disney movie and it comes a long with german dubbing☺

Tomorrow i have to order again. Emperors new groove

 

[StormTHX]

Ordered! Not messing around with only 3K available....it is one of my favorites of all time. Glad I was checking this thread this early.

I'm just gonna wait for first in-hand pictures before deciding if I want this or not. I'm done pre-ordering steelbooks if I don't know how the final product is gonna be like.

Really understand your point of view, like to have it myself. But unfortunately it's a fact that when you wait... it could be gone!

i dont think this one will sell out fast. there are many other disney classics far more popular than sword in the stone that hung around for months on end. even still available now in sales.

also, disney originally cancelled this collection at the end of last year. there were no further plans to continue releasing steels. we can assume disney were strategic in the titles they chose to release- ie the ones they thought would sell. so the fact they drew a line on the collection before announcing this title suggests even they dont think it would do well.

you can spin the print run to make it a selling point, but the fact is, its low because they dont think it would sell the extra thousand. so personally, i will gamble (on good odds) that this will be in stock for some time, so i wont be an early adopter

True, but there are so many steelbooks on the market already that losing one steelbook doesn't mind me.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Losing out on ANY DIsney steelbook is unacceptable in this dojo.

 

[shiftyraccoon]

Just put my order in

 

[kbr1656]

I placed my order when it first went live. I can't believe it isn't sold out. But either way, can't wait to get it.

 

[dan8885]

I would order, love the movie, but I don't order at zavvi over 26 EUR since Im forced to pay custom taxes on top. I will get it cheaper later

 

[Lollard2002]

Does anyone know if this will have the same disc as the 50th anniversary edition released in 2013?

If it is, then it's an easy pass for me. It could be the WORST picture quality blu-ray from Disney....horrible!!!

I think it's pretty well known that the early 70's Disney animation was seriously below par and is considered as the blip in their creative output. No amount of restoration was ever going to salvage pretty ropey animation to begin with.

 

[kurisu]

i'm ordering a copy just in case. hopefully it's a good one from disney! will cancel and re-order if it doesn't sell out and drops in price.

 

[gaeljet]

if it doesn't sell out and didn't use any code if the price drops before the release date the price you'll pay should automatically be the less important one(pre order guarantee)

 

[virkia]

Just to reiterate what we all know:-
- Order all 3 tomorrow with VBOX50.
- Or order the 2 that are live now if you think there is a chance they will sell out before tomorrow midday (no way jose) and cancel them tomorrow and re-order with 'Sword' with a little off thanks to the code which I believe will still be available.
Of course, if you use the code don't expect to receive any further discount as you will not be eligible for any further reduction if the prices of any of the three drops before release date.
No brainer really.

 

[DrH]

Still not sold out and I am still not biting
It's only 2 weeks until release date and the buzz on here and elsewhere is not overwhelming so I will
Wait until next month

@JackRegan as a vet of Zavvi Disney steels, I can guarantee you that this title will never sell out during the pre-order phase
If it does, great, I'll get it cheaper on eBay. I wouldn't call resellers on eBay thieves et al, it's just part of the hobby. No one is obligated to buy, it's a choice thing lol. Thanks for chiming in though

Well Charley, as I said, it's your call - you may be wrong, you may be right - you can't guarantee anything.

As for fleabay sellers - think I got it pretty much right for the bulk of them - the few decent ones (like Luke here) start low and allow the punters to determine the price. The rest just take the punters for mugs!
