You'd think The Grey will be next, been wanting that one to get a steelbook for ages.

Quite enjoyed Unknown, enough to pay the inevitable limited to 2k £17.99?.... not so sure. I haven't got the excuse of buying to mantain a Liam Neeson collection as i refuse to buy Taken 2 and am against the Non-Stop steelbook because of the stupid removal of the inside background of the plane.

 

[snooloui]

I feel the same way. It's a decent enough film but i'm not sure it's worth £17.99.

[Goatface21]

I like the look of this and enjoyed the film

Huh um! Don't forget about Zavvi's new packaging

 

[RedDevil85]

It's still a "trial" apparently so hopefully with all the hell they're getting it'll be back to boxes asap.

Decided not to bother with this, i'll be keeping my amaray, it's not worth the price difference of flogging it to get this.

Bugger me they actually sent me an email about this one, first time in months!

Won't be bothering as Red says the amount id get for the amaray will be a couple of quid and this steelbook doesnt have 16 quid upgrade value.

Now 'sold out' at Zavvi.

The Grey has got to be in with a shout, never mind this mediocre movie. I absolutely loved The Grey and it's one of Neeson's best movies (forgiving the odd slip into his Ballymena accent lol). Make it so!!

 

[Maccadinho25]

When catalogue titles sell out so quickly are Zavvi really going to give a sh*t about their packaging being poor? Ive seen lots of people stating theyre cancelling all orders with them etc yet everything still sells out! Why would they want to improve packaging that costs more for them to do when they wont gain anything from it?

 

[RedDevil85]

I think with the pre-orders there's obviously quite some time before they get released so the hope is this "trial packaging" will be over and a return to the boxes, plenty of time to cancel if it isn't so people prefer to order now, make decision later.

 

[RedDevil85]

This is back up to pre-order

 

[replicant81]

Could also be that most go to bulk buyers who get them sent in boxes so less chance of damage.

If it don't you can get the Dutch metalpak for a cheap enough price. I got myself one a while back.

 

[Maccadinho25]

Or the German steel

 

[BrynTeg]

Cancelled my order, along with a few others, looking at it i think i'll sick with the slipcover amaray

 

[The Ringmaster]

Cancelled my order, along with a few others, looking at it i think i'll sick with the slipcover amaray

Is that due to recent packaging issues or just because you aren't too keen on the steelbooks themselves?

 

[BrynTeg]

Bit of both, i dont fancy the new cardboard sleeves and if you get a damaged steel trying to deal with zavvi is a nightmare, plus the art on this one, after thinking studio canal will be matte and powder streaky, so bought the slip amaray for £3

 

[The Ringmaster]

Ah i see, makes sense I guess. I might start moving into the amaray territory but I have no idea what is best and where from. When I first purchased amarays I just picked the cheapest, from whatever retailer, but now there seems to be more in way of design, slips, 2d/3d, imports and then boxsets etc. I just wouldn't know where to begin with the amarays now, since I've been focused on steelbooks.

 

[BrynTeg]

With the steels being released a lot of people seem to offload their amarays, sometimes at cheap prices, picked up a lot of bargains on the bay recently..Just seem to be way too many steel book releases, for me anyway
