Yeh, just don't know, it's all a mess tbh, but you are right the price they are selling it for wouldn't work great.
WTF, that's pretty messed up.
The time it goes live was the time I stopped getting email notifications from this thread. Totally missed out

I don't know as I not used their online store before
I have only visited their high street shops in Dublin and Navan to see what's available instore
I guess I'm just not supposed to have a premium of this film. I was on this page all freakin' day and it NEVER showed on sale. Left the house at 1:30 to run an errand and checked the page before I left and it still showed not on sale. Now I'm here and it looks like that was incorrect. Not sure how the heck that happened, but I'll take solace in the fact I'm in the US and it appears I had no chance with AUK anyhow. Damn.
It wasn't available all day until about 5.30pm UK time and then it was only for 2 mins...so u didn't really miss it, more like never had a chance
I never even got a notification it was available and Like everyone else I missed out.It wasn't available all day until about 5.30pm UK time and then it was only for 2 mins...so u didn't really miss it, more like never had a chance
I procured my copy from Zavvi US and for a second there I thought I was going to save myself 20 bucks switching over to Amazon UK. Way to go dillhole
Manta Lab Dune 2 levels of bloodbath
That's what I'll be telling myself too.
Plus a Zavvi Steelbook, and a 'Reel Heroes' series comics art Steelbook, and an HD DVD, and some DVD collectable box...
We can't get it in the UK, buzz off with your Germany...Shows unavailable for International / Germany
18% tax is deducted when buying to US, they cost £37 or $48.
There's higher shipping of course, but after a couple you get free delivery and get them cheaper than retail.
What a tease man!!!
Amazon live but can’t check out, wtf
This feels much like The Exorcist Bible Edition scenario. Back then we were able to eventually checkout, but then earlier orders were cancelled. Was a mess.
The exorcist all over again
I saw it go live straight away and it sold out in 17 seconds. GRAIL?
I hope I can buy a copy on ebay for less than 1400 great british pounds soon

Yes, exactly. Can't check out either.The exorcist all over again
Yeah getting the same. Can add it to basket but nothing past that
I don’t care what anyone says there’s defo something weird about this release. No way is it that rare across the 3 retailers.
Yeah, I share the same thoughts.
Zavvi supposedly went live around 8.14am yesterday. I got a promotional email from Zavvi for this release timed at 9.02am, but then sold out 5 minutes later.
King Kong is not rare. There is already a UK 4k steelbook as well as other releases from boutique companies around the world.
I don’t think it needs fake hype because the collectors sets have been very well received with the current wave. I mean it could be scalpers but even that don’t seem fully legit to me
And the fact that Amazon is glitching with this release adds to the conspiracy
I didn't get the details fully correct about Orbit and Jaws 2. For clarification, here's the full text of the email they sent at the time:
Morning everyone, I felt the need to give an update on the Jaws 2 pre-orders, and unfortunately, it is not good news.
Last week we were informed by one of our UK distributors that Amazon has taken 90% of the Jaws 2 steelbooks, leaving the rest of the world to fight over the remaining 10%. While we are still waiting for our final allocation numbers to be revealed, we feel that we will not receive enough to accommodate every one that has paid for a pre-order.
We have one glimmer of hope working with a US importer, but this will be a long shot. If they do pull through, the price that you paid will be honored.
If you want to cancel, we completely understand, and have opened Jaws 2 up for order cancellation and editing. If you ordered 2 other items for our “3FREE” option, just contact us and we be happy to ship the others items for free media mail shipping.
We will be giving our distributors one more week to let us know our final allocations, but after that we will begin the cancellation process.
Because of this and other issues with the UK division of Warner Brothers/Universal, we will no longer be providing pre-orders for their titles. The good news is that other companies like StudioCanal, Eureka, Second Sight, Arrow, etc. know the importance of smaller businesses like Orbit and we will continue to offer pre-orders without worry.
I apologize again about this, pre-orders are new to us, and we are quickly learning about which companies that you can and cannot trust.
Thank you!
