Steelbook collectors should definitely stop by our stall (1361) at MCM Expo Comic Con... We'll be selling an Ultra Limited run of the Young Frankenstein #Steelbook with this electrifying artwork. Only 1000 copies! Good ol' Igor, we're glad he made the back cover.

Any unsold copies should be available online within a few days of event.
Via Zavvi Facebook page
Group Buy Hosted by: Naughtius Maximus < (Sold out)!

Just noticed! My copy arrived from Zavvi, all ok and that, properly sealed as expected but no cardboard slip??? No disc/barcode details etc. I never open my steels so now really pissed! Should I contact Zavvi? I guess none left now :(

Anybody else get one with no slip? The slip mentions Comic Con 2014 so as a collector, not happy

There's a GB on for Young Franky...Join that and send yours back...

Speak of the devil...looks like they are back in stock on their site here.
 
This one's nice, but still prefer the NA Futurepak, hands down.
Much better[...] finish, imo.
Do you actually have one of these? Or are you just saying that based off pictures? Because the shiny metallic paint finish on this is really nice - I wish more steelbooks had it.

You can't really see it in the pics, but it's lovely in person (you also need to open it to see it properly!)

It's a bit clearer what the finish is like in my video:


(Note, video is recorded in 1080p so it's best to actually view on Youtube rather than the embeded video here).

I have both versions in hand.

I do like the shiny finish on Zavvi's, but it's still nowhere near as good of artwork/quality as the futurepak.

Fair enough :thumbs: personally I think the FuturePak's front artwork is way too busy so don't like it, but that's just me! :)

Agreed, the front of the FP is certainly more busy, though I really like it. The gloss finish and cool artwork, with metallic lightning bolts is quite impressive.

Yeah, it would be nice to see more with the shiny metallic finish. :thumbs:

I am not surprised I did predict it that they would have more. You do wonder how many copies they had in total.

The ones up for sale now are most likely rejected returns (yes, Zavvi have a habit of trying to resell them - though usually via their eBay/Amazon 'outlets') and/or cancellations, I doubt they have much stock at all.

If Zavvi were to advertise something as limited to a certain amount of copies, then go ask Scanavo to make a bunch more, that'd be false advertising and they could end up sued for it (not to mention annoy those that purchased it in the process), I doubt even Zavvi are that stupid.

Kind of strange it's back in stock on their site, some scalpers on ebay made £30-50 last month out of it, it's been going for less this month, since they had it in stock on their site.

I watched this movie earlier this month, was one of the Mel Brooks movies I did not watch for some reason, I did not enjoy this movie or find it funny as some other Mel Brooks movies. I'm happy I avoided buying it and missed it when Zavvi had it on their site previously. Best of luck to all Ninjas that like this movie and are buying this.
 
I bought a copy off eBay last week for £26. Was a bit annoyed when I seen them back in stock but it's in great condition so I'm happy enough.
