I'm excited for this. But I'm going to wait for it to drop in price.

rickah88 · 10-24-2013, 07:11 PM

This looks great! I'll be keeping an eye on AmazonUK for this.

I'll keep an eye out as well. I would rather order there even though shipping is a bit higher.

Yeah but they remove vat, and the item will probably be cheaper on release day than Zavvi. At least, that's been my experience with other non-Zavvi exclusive steels. Even in the event of the same price I would go with AmazonUK just for their Customer Service.

Yep, I love that they remove the VAT. But...after the VAT is removed the 3.50 shipping makes up for it.

I usually try to buy from AMZ.UK because as you said their CS is miles above Zavvi's email system.

I got excited thinking this was for the Cronenberg film, then I saw the '1958' in the title. Regardless, I wouldn't mind getting this.

Icemouth · 10-24-2013, 11:03 PM

The best part? The 2014 release dates. Finally a break!

deepbreathsanddeath · 10-24-2013, 11:35 PM

I already got the U.S amaray for $9.99 so I'll be passing. I prefer Cronenberg's remake anyway.

Dr_Bedlo · 10-25-2013, 01:08 PM

I'd get it, but that cover kinda creeps me out!

MifuneFan · 10-25-2013, 01:23 PM

horrible cover art

HotRats · 10-25-2013, 01:31 PM

Not impressed, especially when it had plenty of good original posters, particularly the green one.

thewerepuppygrr · 10-25-2013, 03:00 PM

It looks kind of like those pictures you get when someone drops their trousers and sits on the photocopier. Not that I've done that or anything.

Tin Drum · 10-25-2013, 03:05 PM

If it were the remake I'd be all over this.

Thanks for that link, I hit it by accident and noticed that the Amazon pre-order is now £5 cheaper than when I preordered with zavvi.
Needless to say zavvi cancelled.

UK - The Fly

Finish
Matte finish with metallic shine and clear finish on rear.

Comments
The finish is almost satin like again. There is a sheen to it. Its like one layer of gloss so satin finish sounds about right. Its more shinier than a matte finish.

All images can be clicked on for a closer view. They are all high res and can be viewed at full scale.
