I can't wait for this one!!! Its will look awesome next to my first one!

 

[Nikofrance]

Does somebody know the exact hour of the release? Thank you

 

[Ricardo13]

This should be a 500 qty if it's really an anniversary special and not just a cash grab
Print run needs to be low to make it sought after if not it needs to be boycotted lol

 

[Paulie]

my thoughts with out a comment being either negative / moaning

 

[justhedudeman]

It's actually Touchstone pictures, not Warner Brothers!

Thanks for the correction.

considering this is supposed to be a special, celebratory edition they should handle the release of this steel a little differently.

They should ONLY make it available to the people who purchased the original when it launched. As a thank you to those who made the first release special. It would make this release very special.

& you'd know the people who own one, have been doing this a long time.

yeah that'd upset a few people, but it'd be more interesting release.

And how exactly would Zavvi determine who bought the first one? By going off of order histories? All that will happen then is all the scalpers who made a few quid off the original will now be given another low print exclusive to cash in on.

With all due respect, this is Zavvi we're talking about- Remember the release of Maleficent and the black/white debacle, where they couldn't even message one of the members on here with what colour the steelbook was, even when they had the steelbooks ready to be despatched.

End of it all, Zavvi think about their profits first, and their customers second (which is how most business are run, but obviously most other businesses tend to handle customer satisfaction a bit better than Zavvi...)
Think it's been widely documented on here many, many times before just how frustrating it can be to deal with Zavvi, so there's zero chance of them putting the work in to make this happen...

I might pick this one up as my original release has the lovely spine slash so many of them had... unless this comes with a matching spine slash...

in the last 2 years the number of steelbook scalpers has exploded. coincidentally so has the user base on here. Your account is quite new, so you may not of used this site when the original was released. But the steelbook collecting environment was a lil different, only had a 3000 print run This sold out very quickly, it was blink and you missed it, without it being a marvel or the fully animated disney film too. & this was a little before panic buying a steel in fear of it selling, or buying for monetary gain...which to be frank is how and why most steelbooks sell out now. The fact there are only 10 uk roger rabbits steelbooks on eBay right now is testament to that.

Sure 'scalpers' existed in the past obviously. But this steel along with finding nemo and aladdin, really kick started the current trend of buying steels to sell them.

scalpers is a dirty word too, because if you look on the selling forums on here, the prices are often higher than on eBay...and many eBay users are hi def ninja users...nothing wrong with that, but as i said scalpers is a dirty word.

tbh i'd go as far to say if you were to sell 3000 to the original buyers of the original steel. less of them would be 'cashed in' on than if they just openly sold them.

Or give it as a free gift to those loyal customers who've spent thousands on their exclusives in the last 2 years.

Yes, I'm aware this would never happen.

As part of the celebratory event it should be priced at £16.99 like the first release. If not then what exactly are we celebrating?

 

[digitalbabe]

Well, my feeling is they are attempting to celebrate a special anniversary of starting to release some unique collectibles to market (see OP). I am not sure they plan to re-release other titles, but I guess we'll see. No different than other studios releasing Alien every year with a different cover (don't ask me how many I have, lol)-same movie, different ed, studios and retailers have been doing so for decades now. It is a pretty cool way for those that missed original red version to own a Steelbook. Enjoy to those who will add this to their collections!

Oh dear.

Rhubarb and Custard sweets used to be my favourite.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Back would have looked better with gold bricks

 

[Kashby]

And it was going so well, next they will reveal that the cars eyes will be the "new embossing"

Oh dear:

More than happy with my original red version, tbh

 

[Flloydo]

Haha, that looks bad!

That means the inside will be the same with half of roger missing (and I don't mean behind the curtain)

 

[wjasoncul]

Not a fan of the gold and won't be picking this one up. Will stick with the red version, thanks!
