Fair enough Guv - We don't agree,but it's kept us busy for a bit while EEnders is on the telly lol

no harm done mate,i don't dislike people for disagreeing with my opinion's,if i did everyone would hate me

At worst, they will stop the steelbook format and we complain of not having more.

I'd rather have no steelbook than a terrible one.

No-one is disputing your right to buy, or our right not to, but it is worth reiterating for those worried about certain trends in steelbook design; who may currently be on the fence, or arguing with their own better judgement, that buying this steelbook is the clearest possible method of telling Zavvi and Disney UK (and by extension other retailers and studios) that you are happy with this product. If you truly are, then buy it; but if you're not, please... think carefully.

 

[psychoscot]

I can already hear those who do not buy and will seek, when it will be sold out on ebay not too expensive edition.

This won't sell out, it's not a limited run, just a worldwide mass market release. I'm sure many of those who cancelled might come back and pick this up when it drops in price "which it will" and probably within the first month after it's release. With the amount of cancellations this has had on a marketing level Zavvi have basically no choice but to drop the price fairly quickly. Many who refused the ridiculous £25 tag might be happy with £15 - £17 and they need to make a profit as Disney will have charged them a premium rate to get these in the first place. The quality of product is poor for the price and both Zavvi/Marvel are advertising this anywhere they can. I've never seen so many adverts across the net for a steelbook "IE it's REALLY not selling well"

Idea to please fans:

Hear me out, a transparent slipcover with the Title on the Front and spine...and maybe the ratings/other info on the back. That way you can have the Titles when shelved and displayed, you can take it out and appreciate the art on its own, and you have a minimalistic protective sleeve. This would be a pretty cost-effective and practical remedy.

The Australian hobbit has a transparent slipcover with the ratings on it

Anyone else seeing 'in stock' and 'ready to ship' on the Zavvi page?

No, it just says 'Availability: Stock will be despatched to you as soon as we receive it from our supplier..'

 

[Zelos]

Strange, mine also says "Availability: In stock | Usually dispatched within 24 hours.".

[D4vem88]

With the recent Disney wave, I sure hope this doesn't get the random embossing. Would be a nightmare release.

 

[paulboland]

What is the release date as I don't want a surprise release date

My bank Account debit card needs to know

I suppose its 24/02/2014 but we need this to be confirmed or be given the correct release date

 

[watkinson]

I think I'll buy Kimchi's one with unique full slip.

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

It said In Stock last month. This is not news

 

[Acalica917]

I think I'll buy Kimchi's one with unique full slip.

I can't find any news on this. Either on here or Kimchidvd. Am I missing something?
