HMV shipped my Goonies and Enter the dragon steels, I'm getting the damn things even if it's a hideous gray/silver/whatever.
 
Did ANYONE receive there zavvi orders for the Goonies and the others in this WB wave ?, I find it hard to believe the stock allocation excuse, no other retailers had any issues as far as i'm aware. It sounds to me like maybe zavvi haven't been paying their suppliers and they have been refused deliveries. (don't get me started on the pokemon cards scandals with them...)

Honestly zavvi are really terrible, I no longer use them due to damaged orders and their appalling customer service. I see now why THG (the hut group) got rid of them, I wonder if the management buyout is going smoothly.....

Make zavvi aware of your opinions and give them a trustpilot review.
Mine are on their way (Blade runner & Goonies). received that message 15th August but steels were shipped last week

I presume you are just talking about ETD, yeah it’s not a white background, still a nice steel (plus wrong listing for that one).
Goonies looks great in hand with the debossed title. For me, it’s the best edition since Play’s release many moons ago.

happy days. :) for shame, i did not actually own any editions of this prior :bag: , so this is a great edition for people like me who had this as a clear gap in their collections. i got mine in 2 days from hmv after zavvi cancelled mine arbitrarily. :angry:


as we know, this uses the original poster art, which is a big plus for me. :thumbs: the j-card is stuck down by three pieces of the easy-to-remove version of the gel glue. the ratings stickers are removeable. unsealing pics and full specs on the j-card here:

the steel is not blind-your-eyes-with-the-reflection gloss, but a version of gloss for sure that works well with the hand-drawn nature of the poster art. the title is debossed, and i like the repro of the hand drawn poster. looks good to me, others can compare to previous editions:

several shots of the front cover art and also back art beneath the spoiler:


inside, the discs are just standard black + blue, which is the usual missed opportunity for some additional artwork, and the interior shot is fine:

had a quick play on the discs, the blu-ray looks excellent, not sure about the 4K transfer yet; other Ninjas will have a better, more expert eye/view.

all in all, nice release. :thumbs:

i bought mine from hmv in August because zavvi had 'sold out.' must be a lot of room down the back of their sofas...
