Folks, we've already said our piece on this matter. As long as the posts are not attacking other members or third parties in an abusive and over the top manner, each is entitled to state her/his opinion. Posts stating that they don't like the way this release is handled have just as much right to stand as the ones that are in awe.

There is a lot of "rewind/repeat" in this thread from both sides, let's move on. Thanks.
 
There's 40 pages and it's not even out yet.

Could we please have any positive discussion

For anyone who has ordered it what would you honestly like to see in the zbox (like to see, I know they are usually fairly poor but let just try eh?)

I haven't ordered it but a few ideas for the contents of the gift box could be one or more of the following:-

- IRON MAN POP VINYL BOBBLE-HEAD FIGURE
- IRON MAN HULKBUSTER ACTION FIGURE
- IRON MAN: THE SECRET ORIGIN OF TONY STARK - BOOKS 1 & 2
- IRON MAN CUFFLINKS
- IRON MAN MR. POTATO HEAD
- IRON MAN WALKIE TALKIE SET
- IRON MAN 2-IN-1 MASK SET
- THE AVENGERS ICONS T-SHIRT
- IRON MAN LUGGAGE TAG
- IRON MAN TRAVEL MUG
- IRON MAN LEATHER WALLET
- IRON MAN TALKING ACTION FIGURE
- IRON MAN 3D MUG

P.S. I doubt if any of the above items are in the ZBOX.

Judging from reviews of these boxes on Zavvi they certainly have their fans so who am I to knock them particularly as I've never ever bought one nor never ever will :)

P.P.S. 40 pages - that's nothing !
More than double that before 'Dredd' was released :)

Thank you I appreciate that :)
Some good choices but I think the iron man steelbook is just randomly separate and I don't think there will be any iron man stuff. I think based on the advert I am really hoping for Harley Quinn and deadpool stuff :)

I think if they did an actual Iron Man box that the you get the steelbook in, it might be better recieved.
I think we may see it paired with future Zboxes too.
 
I don't have any versions, so i shall be delighted and grateful to get one copy

I wish the mods would do something it's the same repetitive dribble endless

"..I hate zavvi, I hate the zbox, they better not do as they please with things they make and choose to give us for sale." Blah blah blah

To be honest I don't hate zavvi (never said that). Just being picky at what I buy and I am not interested in the things that they are offering. When I see something that I like I'll bite and order it.

Anyway back on topic, I just don't want to order the z-box to get the Steelbook. If zavvi did put up the Steelbook as a standalone order I'll buy it as I like the film a lot to double dip as well as liking the artwork.
 
I must admit i hate all this zbox nonsense, but i do not own a copy of the original and it is way too pricey to warrant buying one through a reseller.
When this one goes OOS and the price rises high again perhaps £40 wont have seen to have been too bad to buy it. :cautious:

Are we meant to believe that this steelbook is 'Exclusive to the ZBOX' and that when the ZBOX is 'Sold out' the steelbook is also 'Sold out' ?
If they made 1,000 / 2,500 / 4,000 ZBOXs, did they order 1,000 / 2,500 / 4,000 steelbooks ?
If this is true then we may not be given the opportunity to buy the steelbook by itself.

But, seriously, what I hope for and tend to believe is that it's 1,000 boxes and 2,500 steelbooks but I guess we'll know soon enough - or at least when all the ordered ZBOXs have been posted out - what the situation is :)

On the other hand, because I have no way of knowing how many ZBOX's were made up or how many steelbooks were printed, just suppose it was only 1,000 boxes - and 1,000 steelbooks - then this steelbook will be VERY collectable and, as the member above @Numanoid noted, this steelbook - even with the box @ GBP 39.99 in total - would be a very decent buy as you would be hard pushed to buy the original Play.com edition for under GBP 100 nowadays - and that wasn't limited to anything under 4,000 if I remember correctly.
As a matter of interest I've just checked the Bay and there are only two listed that I could see - 'IM 1" @ GBP 140 and 'IM 1 & 2' @ GBP 230 for the two - wow !

The play iron mans can sell for less than that, saw an iron man 1 the other day sell for £54 new& sealed. There is is one open on there now for a buy it now of 49.99 with best offer too. It just depends on the day I suppose.[emoji106]

Please don't give them any ideas :)
You'd be paying approx. GBP 40 / 45 for a box containing a steelbook 'worth' maybe GBP 24.99 and other stuff that you may have no use for . . .

Still available for pre-order, lmbo!!!
looks like people (myself included) are patiently waiting for only the steelbook to be offered for sale
£17.99 or less for the steel will do it for me
I think not - for a 2-discer I'd guess GBP 21.99 or worst case scenario GBP 29.99 or any price point in between :)
