I think it has been like that for a while as next to it there is the following quote - Availability: Stock will be despatched to you as soon as we receive it from our supplier

no worked it out reckon is they had so many people cancelling they have flipped it over to buy tab, i think this will slow down there cancellations on this as you would have to contact them to cancel is my bet.
I could be wrong but with the fs/best buy releases out there and others just not happy with this one there cancels on this are huge and they are going to be stuck with alot of copies of this now and is going to hurt them.
wonder how long before price drops kick in on this version, following usual zavvi format is 1 week but as this is a more pricey 3d one reckon within first 3-4 weeks be my bet. we will see if i'm wrong time will tell.

Why everyone cancels?
Is there a more advantageous version?

Why everyone cancels?

maybe the reason is because of no title ( front and spine )

maybe the reason is because of no title ( front and spine )

That, and the fact it's way overpriced for a cheap matte steel that is definitely not a limited edition. The amount of cancellations will see this down in price in the first week alone.

Future Shop has a better version with debossed title.

with all those cancellations i bet one day the price will drop to £12

lol not likely to me maybe 20, not even sure at all..

why are you saying that, do you know it is matte?

 

[Tacozilla]

after thinking about it for a lil while...the lacklustre artwork, titleless spine and expensive price

Cancelled

 

[psychoscot]

why are you saying that, do you know it is matte?

Marvel confirmed that it is 100% Matte finished on their official face book page well over 3 weeks ago. Which resulted in a whole load of posts complaining. Some of which they deleted!

Hence why all the cancellations now that the Future Shop/Best Buy one's have been announced, which while also matte, have exclusive debossed title and title on spine.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to suggest that Zavvi might have lost over 70% of their pre-orders on this. It's not limited so they will end up with a stock pile like they did with Iron Man 3. It will drop in price and quickly.

 

[gaeljet]

ok, thanks for all the explanation

i didn't know it was going to be a matte steel

i also didn't know the FS woumld also be matte, what a shame, it would have been so good for me this front with a glossy finish..

Of course it is a limited edition, they don't just keep printing certain titles forever.

 

[gaeljet]

everything is at some point over, so "limited"
but limited to 500 or 8000 is pretty different for us generally,lol
