I really wish they would stop creating mass print runs, its taking the fun out of ordering quick so it wont go out of stock, and not to mention reducing the latter value of the steelbook over time because there is so damn many of them circulating around. I think that if they are going to include 'Limited' in the title then MAKE THEM LIMITED! 10,000 is not limited And also, for the price they are charging, and they say their reason for the high price is cuz they are 'limited' then they should actually be limited! :/

yeah, on the other hand it helps those really interested in this steelbook not to get ripped off by scalpers.. and so the money at least goes to the ppl who actually deserve it

and i guess zavvi HAS to milk the cash cow once in a while, if you expect them to also produce "poor dogs" like withnail&i, zatoichi, close encounters, etc. which most likely never sell out for anywhere near the RRP

Fair points but at the end of the day they are a business who are out to make money like everyone else. If they think they can sell a huge amount then why wouldn't they try and generate as much revenue as possible. As far as print runs even if an item was limited to 50,000 it still counts as limited edition. I understand about the price, there should be the best possible package at this price point including all 3D/ bonus discs.

Many years ago a friend who worked in a record shop said the only way to ensure a ltd edition is to number every item.

The only way to ensure that you have a hard to find (rare) ltd edition is to buy a load of them and a hammer.

Lazy artwork, lazy extras (£24 yet no 3D?!) and inexplicably priced £7 more than Nemo was..... cancelling order

its a new release and new releases are always more expensive than catalogue titles

 

[southam1978]

I'm sure the whole limited edition is more to do with the retailer not really the number, EG this is A Zavvi LTD edition exclusive and the print runs is not relevant, I personally have it ordered but may cancel as the art is Not great, same in Spain and Germany but let's hope BluFans pull some new art from somewhere!

I'm thinking the same thing. . Cancel at that price with only one disc. . But I don't want to cancel and order the German edition without knowing for sure that the German version has the same zavvi art work on the back???
I know everyone says it's the same but on Amazon Germany there are no pics of any back and inside artwork, so I was wondering if it's known for sure they're all the same?
Thanks in advance to any replies

Yup, nothing to do with Nemo selling like hot cakes so they figured "There's gold in them thar hills...."

Nemo is a different story. The design was exclusive to the UK. With MU, the design seems to be the same worldwide making this 1 disc release less desirable.

The artwork is still cool except for the front and the ugly spine.

Catalogue title or not zavvi seem to be pricing every disney steel over £20 now

Now i have started with the cheaper ones and the announcement of a 'collection' im kinda bound to these so have to get the uk versions even if other countries have more content. Damn collectors brain

The art on this is terrible. Im really hoping for a gorgeous jcard.

There is no mention of the collection numbers anywhere on the steel though, so that should be a loophole for you . I think they missed a trick there.

Keeping mine for now in hopes the artwork will be nuked and its remains sent to the sun before being changed. Seriously, this is fugly.

 

[RayBluRay]

please change the artwork. Title please

 

[mgoode20061]

Glad it came back up for pre-order. When my card had fraud on it I cancelled most of my orders and reordered with a new card (except Little Mermaid because it was sold out). I didn't realize this was sold out when I cancelled so it's nice to get it back again.

 

[mnementh]

I'm hoping the artwork remains unchanged (apart from the cropped flag) and it really doesn't need a title.

 

[fpas]

No 3D, not buying.

 

[RihFlood212]

I finally just decided to cancel this. Im getting way pickier with my steelbooks, and as much as I loved this movie, and want to keep my Pixar Collection going, I just cannot pay €29.29 for a 1 disc steelbook with front artwork that I dont like at all.

 

[Blu-devil]

Have this on order. However, I will cancel and order the German edition as soon as it's confirmed to have no German Text.
