Iron Man (ZBOX) (Blu-ray SteelBook Lenticular) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
Don't be surprised if you see the steelbook be listed on its own after most of the Renegades ZBOX have been shipped
Then they hope customers don't bother want to ask to return the Zbox and look for a refund when they see the steelbook become available to pre order on its own
I would take a guess around 1 or 2 months before the release date of the steelbook it gets listed on its on Zavvi or the Hut Website

Was sold out ages ago lol, now just waiting for Zavvi to dispatch all the boxes before listing Iron Man on its own [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
It's gonna be very interesting to see what happens next with this! I'm watching Zavvi very carefully cuz they've sworn blind thru zbox on Twitter that they're not selling the steelbook on its own but I wouldn't trust zavvi as far as I could throw em! So it's time to sit back and see how this saga unfolds!
I quite like it - the symmetrical design. There is no front or back.
The whole of the steel cover is used for art purposes.
Ive read the listing for the Renegades zbox again and its got some very clever wording in it! It actually states that by purchasing the zbox this guarantees you a copy of the Iron Man steelbook! "GUARANTEES " you a copy? As opposed to what? When it goes live for pre-order as a stand alone steelbook and you might miss out due to demand? No where does it say this will never be released on its own NOWHERE! The zbox is due to be released this bank holiday Monday! but not the Iron Man steelbook that is being released at a later date probably when you'll be able to buy it on it's own!!! My zbox pre-order CANCELLED
Congratulations, you understand how Zavvi works lol
Didn't even put an order for this combo-thing in, since i'm 100% sure that the steel will pop up as a standalone pre-order at some point..
I have to agree that the Zavvi listing is certainly confusing for this/these items.
The bold print IMO implies that the steelbook will only be available with the ZBOX - "Renegades ZBOX with Exclusive Iron Man Limited Edition Lenticular Steelbook".
"Exclusive" to the ZBOX ???
"Exclusive" to Zavvi ???
The description however IMO implies that the steelbook will be available separately - "Your Renegades ZBOX will be sent at the same time as standalone ZBOXs and your steelbook will be shipped later this year" - "standalone ZBOX" maybe suggests a standalone steelbook ?
There is also the fact that nowhere is listed details of this steelbook's print run - as we know Zavvi either puts "Ultra Limited" for 1,000 - 2,000 or lists the actual print number.
I personally find it hard to believe that they only printed the same number of steelbooks as they put together ZBOXs - possibly no more than 1,000 (?) - and IMO it makes NO SENSE to limit this steelbook to the ZBOX only as that would be a very poor business move.
Why limit your potential profits on 1,000 steelbooks when you can be confident of selling 2,500 or 4,000 ?
The ONLY good thing about an Exclusive to ZBOX Steelbook is that with a 1,000 print run it will be THE ONE to get for a U.K. collection and due to the very limited print run the price of the original Play.com edition will not be adversely affected which is historically something that tends to happen to originals when later editions pop up.
And, as mentioned in my earlier post, it guarantees someone who really wants the steelbook a copy which would certainly not be a given had the steelbook popped up by itself first as that would most likely have been a magnet for re-sellers and would have "Sold out" within a couple of hours IMO.

I cancelled this a while ago so that's another one that will pop back up for sale.. I'll wait for the steelbook to be sold on its own and if that doesn't happen.... oh well
I thought I'd also add this in here as its to do with the Zbox steelbook bundles and how terrible their system is (also in the age of ultron thread)
Okay so I've messaged zavvi about my age of ultron steelbook that I ordered with the Zbox that I already paid for back in May because I've read that some customers did not get dispatch emails for the steelbook linked with zboxes and some not even receiving the steelbooks and zavvi turning round and saying they can't do much about it.
This don't sound too promising on how their systems work with a order where it's all paid for but half the items are sent out which is why I'm worried about my age of ultron order and this could also happen to the new iron man steel with the renegade Zbox as the Zbox will be sent well before the steelbook.
Now there are a few mesages taken out where they have just not read what I've put and I keep repeating myself (I left one in) but in the end got to a answer I suppose although i don't trust it and like I say in my last message I'll be messaging them the week before dispatch. Here goes....
(My first few messages they just thought I had pre ordered and not already paid - gives you hope a)

I know it's a pre order, But this has already been paid for so my question is will my order (aswel as anyone else who ordered these zboxes) get dispatched in front of anyone who has just pre ordered the steelbook on it's own and not paid for it yet. Like I said I've had troubles where my pre orders haven't gone through because you oversell items. So will mine be sent in front of orders who haven't paid.

So even though I have already paid for this with the Zbox back in May there is a possibility I won't get a copy?
That's awful. I think me and any other customers who has already paid for this steelbook along with the Zbox should get priority of it being sent out. You have me worried now because the order shows as dispatched but that's only the Zbox. How will I know if the steelbook has been sent if it's the same order?

Okay, well I hope that is 100% correct because like I have said I have already paid for the steelbook in may, other customers did not receive a dredd dispatch with the cops Zbox.
I just hope you have updated your systems in last few months to show that although my order is complete and paid its still only half complete and the steelbook has to be sent to me on release aswell as a dispatch email. I will be messaging closer the time to make sure it's a priority to customers who have already paid for the item with the marvel Zbox. I hope this can be seen in my orders and not forgotten about.
Thanks

So in the end it looks like they have admitted their systems still don't tell them what orders are only half complete on a fully paid order. So this whole Zbox thing don't sound to great when they bunch it with a steelbook and can't even tell who needs to be sent what. I don't know how many people this has affected who has not received dispatch emails and the actual steelbooks with zboxes they paid for months before but I hope whoever has ordered the age of ultron or iron man bundle get their full orders sent.
Also I can see returns for damaged items going t*ts up
