Notes: Zavvi's celebrating their second anniversary of steelbook releases!
As part of that celebration, they have created a new edition of Roger Rabbit, the steelbook that started it all.
The front will have "new embossing" not featured on the original, and debossing on the back. More details to come, on sale this Friday!

I don't think it's that bad. This version is much uglier than the red one IMHO Didn't stop me from double dipping. Plus I'm a sucker for mystery boxes so I grabbed one of those also with the discount.

Or a 'shoebox of shite' as another member on here once colourfully described them!

 

[Sims365]

This looks much worse than the red version. For once I may actually be able to stop myself double dipping...

I thought the whole point of mystery boxes was to make you buy a load of rubbish you don't really want and wouldn't normally buy.

 

[dan8885]

I cancelled this and Sleepy Hollow. No more OK-buys for me. I missed out on the first UK release, copped the german Steelbook without embossing last year for 8 EUR at amazon and im good with it.

But if you're ever short of themed socks, they seem to be a great purchase for that.

I've never got Zavvi's 'Save x amount' when they initially list steelbooks (or any other products come to think of it)

This is a Zavvi exclusive, and to suggest that the RRP is, was, or ever will be, £24.99 is totally absurd...

 

[Mr Y Fronts]

RRP's are just marketing ploys, nothing more, it's just a tool for retailers to exploit in giving you so called 'Discounts' and playing mind tricks on the general public to give the impression you're getting a bargain. It worked...

This Anniversary Edition better be a belter, I wonder if it will have a printed slip with 'ZAVVI 2nd YEAR ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION.'...or something. It better have something special about it (and not just the gold/yellow coloured front)

 

[adds83]

Not as nice as the original red version but still had to pre order as i missed out first time round

 

[SlyFondle]

They should have got rid of the massive border. It would look so much better if the artwork filled the front, and the red logo was over the blue sky

 

[UpsetSmiley]

Is it blue and black or white and gold?

 

[bantha11]

I have cancelled my order as well. I would rather wait and save for a diamond in the rough than a gold plated piece of shite...

 

[Filmbloke]

Yep, cancelled mine too... Luckily I have the superior original!

Exactly! I never understood why this was voted the best SB. It has the worst border I've ever seen.

 

[SteelbookGenius666]

I wonder if Zavvi kept re-releasing this in different colour's how many people would collect the lot?

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Exactly! I never understood why this was voted the best SB. It has the worst border I've ever seen.

Totally agree. Yes the gloss finish is nice. Yes the Embossing is really good. The over all artwork design though is very poor IMHO. The boarder eats up way too much space that should belong to the original artwork. The giant 25th Anniversary pushing the title off center looks just awful. Don't get me wrong it is a really nice steelbook but it does not stand up against Kimchi's Tangled, Zavvi's Aladdin, Blufans Oz The Great and Powerful or even ES's Forbidden Planet.

 

[Snollygoster]

Wow, really zavvi? looks better than the Golden one I guess, wonder what the 'series' means?

 

[steel888]

Wow, really zavvi? looks better than the Golden one I guess, wonder what the 'series' means?

This has to be an April Fool's joke, no?

 

[Flloydo]

^ I was about to say the same thing. April fools is bad luck after 12.00 pm

 

[southam1978]

Very creative though
