Saves importing.

UpsetSmiley · 08-19-2018, 11:56 PM

Great, now I hope they release Holes (2003) because it's £30 to import from the US.

PaulNicholas1989 · 08-20-2018, 07:36 AM

I’m hoping for a store exclusive. I’d love the digibook with the booklet

Phil92 · 08-20-2018, 11:25 AM

Zavvi have the SteelBook and DigiPack up.

Yessss!!! Pre-Ordered the DigiPack. I’ve got the Australian import but I need to see the deleted scenes!

Phil92 · 08-20-2018, 12:37 PM

I’m at work so I can’t link, but the back cover is up on Zavvi confirming the “Trivia and Treats” mode with deleted scenes.

I got Hocus Pocus as an import some time ago, but got to say this edition looks good. I still remember the day I saw it in the cinema

Amazon has deleted the page and you can't find the new Blu-ray anywhere on the site. Hopefully it's temporarily.

It's not anywhere else. Maybe it's a Zavvi exclusive completely. Wasn't Bedknobs & Broomsticks a Zavvi exclusive when first released?

ALSO, 3 releases of Hocus Pocus? We've got the standard amaray, 'Limited Edition' with slipcover and Gallery Book (both £12.99) and the Steelbook - all with new bonus features when we didn't even get the first release?! Is Disney UK feeling okay?

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was indeed a Zavvi exclusive steelbook release. I bought it and remember being unimpressed when a regular amaray release came out later (I don’t do steelbooks).

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the steelbook art is BAD! Why use the same US art we've seen for years. The UK artwork would've been better. What I don't understand is why they've used the original poster design for the back cover! The poster artwork is amazing. Why hide it. Why we couldn't of got the Best Buy exclusive spell book steelbook is frustrating to say the least.

The steel is original art, but I would be happier if the back and front was reversed.
It's the slip for me.

I agree with you. If the back and front were reversed i’d more than happy.
I’m getting both editions. It’s just a missed opportunity.

bwatt99 · 08-21-2018, 12:03 AM

Is it a digibook dont think i have seen a digibook come with a slipcover? I ordered the steelbook and was going to get this also but steelbook says it has booklet also?

I messaged Zavvi on Twitter to get them to clarify and it’s not a DigiBook, that was me not paying attention.

The SteelBook does come with the book, too.
