Zombieland (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Play.com Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter zesty
- Start date
I agree with chip and vrob. Having those rare titles is what makes a collection worth having. Plus, when you're in desperate need of mula for something else, it's nice to have to only unload a few titles, rather than most of your collection. I rarely open my steels as well, just like chip.

I just like having them, I don't really care how many versions there are or how rare they are (Although it would be nice to know you owned rare items) But I open my steelbooks, and watch the movie 
Agreed, "Saturation" will ruin collecting for me. The same thing happened with sports cards in the early 90's. It became saturated with companies producing cards. Now, instead of having one or two rookie cards of a certain player, there are like fifty available. Ruins the hobbie IMO. Re-printing steels with the original artwork would be like re-printing a classic Rookie card.
I don't mind how they did Iron Man. In fact I applaud them for making it available to new collectors (as well as old). That is the way it should be done.
As an owner of the Zombieland DE version, I welcome the new release as long as it has different artwork. This is the only way to keep the integrity of the hobbie. If not, then it's just business and I will lose interest quickly.
JMHO
So lots of "collectors" drop out, ditch their collections. Net result to the studio, nadda. They already have their money. They make nothing in the secondary market.
Studios decide to print 10k of every steel instead of 4k world wide. The "collectors" don't buy any, but they still sell out. Who losses out here?
I have the German release, it's one of my favourites. I really don't care if this one is exactly the same, I do hope they improve it though as I'll buy it then.
I appreciate I may be in a minority here, but wouldn't it be better if all the "collectors" that are going to xxxxx, stopped posting about it and just did it?
Collecting means a lot of things to different people. Buying 30 every title is not a collector in my eyes. Hyping everything to the nth degree is not very community spirited either. They are only steelbooks, the world will still turn even if they rerelease every coveted title

wow, come back from abroad to this good news! definitely gonna get this. Happy with the original or some new art.
im all for this.
and i dont see it as a re-release. its only out on germany, and i hate foreign text on steels, so for me the german doenst count.
its the first zombieland steelbook in full english.
I had the german one a while back, and its ok, but a uk version should beat it.
especially if it has embossing/debossing.
keep the steels coming play.com

PS3-I guess it depends on what a person means by 'clean' Steelbook. Some may mean banners, stickers, writing on back or front, etc etc...
I know what you mean DB, but I'm sure that there is no German text on this SteelBook. I open all of my Steels, so I imagine that funkydamo keeps his sealed, in which case, there probably is some German text or stickers on the shrink wrap.
PS3-gotcha. Yeah, had my DE Steel near and just looked (I open mine,too), and there is a ring of German text around the disc inside referring to the rating. But otherwise nothing. Hopefully Play and studio come to some agreement to release different art, to leave the German one (which I purchased at cost), as a standalone imo.

The German Zombieland has been my #1 want for some time now, but I couldn't bring myself to pay the ebay asking price.
This Play release will fill the void, so to speak. Looking forward to it

Superb. Can't wait to see the artwork for these now. I wonder if this one will sell out?
Guess they've changed the price. Was definitely £9.99 at the time of posting and still that price on the search screen.
Wait abit to see what the price will settle at
