[Sigill]

is it really sold out already or is it not available yet

I don't think it's available yet as the listing only just went up.

I want this so bad but I keep hearing how horrid their packaging is.

Same here. Of all retailers, why Zavvi?

Looks good to me but it will be hard to beat the SE DVD release back in 2003 of this film. It included 2 discs, a booklet, and 2 Collectible Glossies.. 1 of them being this one:

Add some collectibles with this Steelbook like an art book, a film cel, a soundtrack, a making of bonus disc, a Roger Rabbit figurine, a Jessica Rabbit figurine, and maybe even a mini comic book or mini graphic novel.

^ Is that a phallic symbol for Maroon Studios? Pay attention, Maroon. Stop looking at the rabbit that way. She's just drawn bad.

Mini artbook would be cool. A lot of people originally wanted this to be a digibook given the potential for the content to go in it.

A Digibook!
In my opinion a Steelbook is better than a digibook. Though a booklet inside would be awesome.

Never heard of zavvi before and now they have exclusive SB What a shame that play and hmv are gone. Anyway I want one maybe it will be back online soon.

I agree and personally love the design on this!

It hasn't sold out! it's just not for sale at the moment.

Welcome to the world of The Hut Group websites with all their weird and not so wonderful glitches.

Exactly. I don't know how many times this had been posted in this thread but people choose to ignore those posts regardless. Common sense suggests that this hasn't been made available yet. Who honestly thinks it sold out in half an hour when nobody was even made aware it existed until after it supposedly did?

Anyway I think this would've been the next Play.com exclusive but since they're shutting down Zavvi have instead bought the exclusivity.

Agreed and if Zavvi or The Hut are going to do more of these exclusive then people are going to have to get used to the fact that this isn't Play with their great information and service for steelbooks, The Hut Group and their websites won't be like that.

Anyway I think this would've been the next Play.com exclusive but since they're shutting down Zavvi have instead bought the exclusivity.

I agree, this totally smells like a future Play.com exclusive that Zavvi have picked up.

WOW! Can't believe it's sold out already

Just another warning shot for those who have never used Zavvi or haven't yet fallen foul of their appalling customer service.

They are easily the worst online UK outfit IMHO. Their practices are unbelievable and yet people will still use them because they are 7p cheaper (on other products - I appreciate this is an exclusive) and then bemoan the fact that they don't receive the item for literally months.

One of their more heinous business models is advertising a product at a particular price to test the water and see if they can get a set number of customers to order the item. They then take that number to the suppliers and see if they can source the item at a price that will then create a certain amount of profit for them per item. If they can: happy days. You get your item (after a few weeks). If they can't: they cancel the order outright because they never had the stock in the first place. I've experienced this on 3 out of the 4 times I've used them and you'll find many UK customers who feel the same way.

Hey - if they are getting into the game - fair play. There is going to be a big hole left from Play's (and possibly HMV's) exit. However Zavvi is the worse possible substitute and I'd highly warn anyone from using them.

It would be lovely if Zavvi did raise their game and listen to the consumers on this one. Ship at an appropriate time, have a debossed/embossed inner, have good packaging, have sensitive customer service. Hell, actually having the item and not putting it on the site to then take it down would be an improvement! I'm more than happy to be disproved on any of these points and I'd love it if they took up the mantle in the UK of being the darlings of the Steelbook collector's world. I just won't hold my breath.

i use all retailers and i can honestly say i have never once had a problem with zavvi.

now that i say that, all my future orders will probably go wrong
