King Kong (2005) (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Collector's Edition) [UK]
- Thread starter paulboland
- Start date
Seems like online store resellers either personally or as a shop, bought huge chunks of Amazon's stock. BS
It was less than that. 2K total copies, split between the 3 retailers. I expect lots of people will have been waiting for it to go live. One share on fb is all it takes.
Thanks, £51.78 with free delivery to England, happy with that. Got 1 and for about £6 more, seems like a GB price to stop this buying hassle from retailers for this release.Available to pre order from Golden Discs in Republic of Ireland
€60.00

Academy Award®-winner Peter Jackson directs King Kong, bringing his sweeping cinematic vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape-monster captured in the wilds and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate. In this smash hit, critically-acclaimed version, it is Academy...goldendiscs.ie
Nah there’s something fishy with this release and universal seriously need to sort it out. I won’t support these editions going forward if they don’t.
I’m hoping the retailers do mass cancellations as a f**k you to all the scummy resellers. And anyone with more than one order (and I don’t care if you bought it for your brother, village or cat)

There was a few USA/UK reseller retailers that was selling all of Universal SteelBook Collector’s Editions since a few weeks ago.
Including some of the releases that have not yet officially gone live example The Northman Collector’s Edition.
I wonder how muck stock these resellers are getting hold off before the releases officially go live to pre order with Amazon/Zavvi/HMV and how are they sourcing the stock.

Gambling on it going live. Using ai retail purchase bots and then buying hundreds in a massive chunk no doubt.
Good question. Some are talking about bots. Maybe, but that can’t be the case for all resellers. Here in the US, Orbit (if we consider them a reseller) is selling it for $60.99. The UK cost at today’s exchange rate would be something like $57 or $58 USD (not including shipping/tax). It’s hard to believe that they are employing bots and grabbing all of these copies via the Amazon preorder drop at retail price to basically make nothing.
Pretty sure HMV have cancelled all multiples, as some users have reported. Zavvi need to step up & do the same. I fear you won't get far liaising with Amazon however.
Would this community not be in a position to organise a group buy with HMV or Zavvi? 1 copy per user.
Or just lobby both to have this as a rule of thumb internally, for any numbered limited edition at least.
I don't see how else they're securing sale stock. It's supposed to be a UK exclusive. Maybe @Flloydo is right and there's something sus going on here. Universal!
Same here. I have no clue. But if that’s how they are doing it then they are losing money.
Thanks @paulboland , is their packaging any good? And do they tend to oversell their stock?Available to pre order from Golden Discs in Republic of Ireland

I not used their online store before I only purchased from their high street stores.Thanks @paulboland , is their packaging any good? And do they tend to oversell their stock?

From reports I seen their packaging is ok there has been some instances where they cancelled online orders but it’s not something that happens often.
I've had Golden Discs cancel a pre order on me in the past (for the The Exorcist ltd edition) due to them overselling it. Apart from that, I've had good experiences with them. They are pricey though. I've not had issues with their packaging, although it's nothing fancy iirc - on par with Amazon.
I've also had Orbit cancel one of these ltd Universal editions on me in the past (Jaws 2) as they said Universal reneged on the stock they promised them, so it seems to just be a crap shoot with these particular editions. I managed to get it on Amazon in the end during a restock.

But OrbitDVD is American and this is a UK Exclusive release. Why would Universal ever give them stock?
I can’t answer that question. But based on that earlier post, if Universal reneged on promised Jaws 2 UCE stock then they must have some agreement.
Do they charge instantly or when they ship?Available to pre order from Golden Discs in Republic of Ireland
