You're right, no one is taking £40 out of your bank account, in fact zavvi aren't asking anyone to pay £40. It's there for pre-order, if those who want it are interested then they will buy it.

Too many negative people slating the package deal and the pricing. I have no interest in half the terminator releases that are coming out everywhere nor am I interested in all the jurassic Park/world releases but I'm not gonna just chime in and moan about the price.

Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, I suspect these will sell out so x amount of people think this is worth £40 as a package.

Besides, I may be fortunate enough to have the play version which cost me £100 sealed with Iron man 2 sealed about two years ago. I may be fortunate enough to be able to afford the £80 eBay inflated blu fans releases. But not everyone is so lucky and we all have to start somewhere and this is a good chance for someone who can't afford the over inflated prices.

I have a question, of us all here who have iron man from play, whether we bought it for £10.99 or not, how many of us would sell them for that much or lower than £40?
Sold my Play Iron Man at cost to help a close friend start his Marvel collection after I received my Blufans version.
 
Well you sold yours to a close personal friend, there you go. But most people would sell there's for a lot. And why, cause it's a collectible now? Yet zavvi can't sell an undisputed collectors item for a premium?

I bought mine for £10.99 and yes, I would sell it for £40 and then use the money to buy a different one (if I wasn't so lazy) as long as that £40 covered it.

I'm happy with the Play version, and I've made it a 2-discer anyway. I don't care which steelbook of Iron Man I have really, as long as I have one. I'd much rather have a copy of the FS version to sell, as that's the one I like the least (thick red border & blue banner - ugh), so would only be interested in how much it's worth, not the item itself.

As it stands, I'd only be interested in swapping the Play version for another one that's 2 discs. AFAIK, Zavvi's is only a 1-discer so that's a no-show. The Blu-Fans version (with the title on the spine at the right height) would suit me I guess.

Either way, as you can imagine, I'm not bothered enough to give it any consideration.

Its not been 100% confirmed yet if the Zavvi Iron Man Steelbook is 1 Disc or 2 Discs

Most of the time Zavvi don't even know themselves how many Discs are in a release until someone gets delivery

I've not sold many steels on Ebay but those I have, have all been at cost price plus postage. What other people do doesn't really concern me. [emoji4]

Why are people missing the whole point here?

The problem that most people have with this is not the price. It's the fact you have to purchase something else to get the steelbook that some have absolutely no interest in. And that useless something else is what's bumping up the price.

Maybe if Zavvi just came clean and charged £40 for the steelbook from the start, there wouldn't be as much uproar? I don't know.

But then, they'd just look like daylight robbers!! This Zbox thing is just a disguise for hiking the price IMO
 
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZboxes wake me up when the standalone steelbook is for sale ZZZZZZZZZZZZ


To be honest, I'm not even sure I want this steel even if they do decide to release it as a stand alone. Coming from a person who has EVERY Iron Man steelbook (except the German version) this is hands down the poorest looking of them all! I could be wrong as we don't have any in hand pics yet, but from the looks of it, there is NO WAY I would pay anything near £20 for this.

The Blufans version is available for less than the price for this on ebay. Which I'm sure will be a better release.

Never judge a book by it's cover
 
Why are people still repeating the same thing over and over and over


They've sold a steelbook only with a zbox, it's not the end of the world, it's doesn't need almost 30 pages of moaning, it's happened, if you don't want to buy it that's fine but can't we stop this ridiculously repetitive debate, people need to get over it, Zavvi can to be honest do as they please.

Can we have some discussion about the actual items instead of moaning constantly.

What do people (who are interested) think will be in the renegades zbox (and please dont' just reply, junk as always or something)

Do you think steel book will be 2 disc?

Moving on = Zavvi wins. This must be fought to the bitter end, or until they release this steel on it's own so we can put an order in lol
