I'm not a Zavvi supporter as such, but you could have removed their name from your post.
This is all Disney's doing, it's nothing to do with the retailer.
zavvi are selling it and yes zavvi as retailer do get input and enough retailers in europe gave back same input disney would change it.
This isn't about zavvi bashing it's about retailers giving that input, i would still say the same if this was amazon to be fair.
It's all very well saying it's all the studio, studios can be lent on as well. just i suspect there there is a little too much bum licking when trying to land a disney exclusive steel as in this case zavvi will know it's money in the bank for them.
whether thats now or in next couple of months. You would only have to look back as thor 2, as a most recent example.
It all got pre-ordered art came up from zavvi sold out then best buy showed its hand, mass cancellations people switched with best buy then zavvi sold out again some 4 months later from orginal pre-order says it all really.
Fyi best buy sold out in first 24-48 hrs from being able to buy in there stores and that people vote with there feet in the end.
just as i will because i want best copy i can have, It's not personal against them but in the end doing what's right for me and as a retailer zavvi should have learned lesson's from that release alone.
which at this point has proved nothing really has been taken on board from where i'm sitting as along as it sells out in the end but i suppose that is just pure business and profit at the end of the day.
anyway i have said my bit which you probably won't agree with, so lets just agree to disagree in this case.
I suspect though with the way thor 2 went there will be the odd few who may just have a similar point of view from where coming i'm coming from and just looking for the best they can get, which is what i all thought we where trying to do no?

If their targeted audience complain together, maybe they would do something about it in the future.. wishfully thinking.
