Pre-ordered. Brilliant film, really took me back to when the genre wasn't all about mass marketing and merchandising opportunities.

Gburd · 12-25-2014, 05:09 PM

My 6 year old loved this yesterday, price is holding me back tho at the Mo, may wait for a price drop a week after release

HornyRhino" · 12-26-2014, 05:09 PM

a Bit Pricey for me

i will wait until it hits around the £13 mark as its only a limited not 2k.

personally i never usually get anything higher priced than £20 unless it has an incentive to make up for it like 3D or even a lenticular magnet.

Happy Boxing Day to everyone

& Not forgetting Neoz

Happy Boxing day to you Rhino. Hope everyone here had a Merry Christmas as well and got lots of steelbooks.

I went ahead and preordered but I may cancel. I like it but the price is rather high.

Ok well - I'll put a little perspective on this for you....it may seem a little high for most, yet for me it's not too bad (until the price drops -like so many have)

Doing a price conversion - using 20 pound (sorry couldnt find the currency key on my keyboard

) and the current conversion rate (roughly double it for New Zealand dollars) $40NZ is pretty good for a new release - it'll probably hit shelves here for around that price anyway ($35-$40nz) - and thats without it being a steelbook release......that added point of difference makes it just that little bit more worthwhile for me! (although there is a little risk involved too)

Glad I was able to use the zavvi 10% discount code on this pre-order

Is Studio Canal typically region-locked?

Thanks.

Thank you js, my eyes are burning....thanks.

lol there is no French on the covers. In fact, there's no wording on the artwork at all. The text you see is on removable cardboard flaps.

I mean, errr, FRENCH!?

Smurfs!?

EWW!

Wish this would be region free. Or we get an identical release in North America. One of the best family films of the past decade, absolutely wonderful.

Firecrackker · 01-29-2015, 05:59 AM

I would be all over this if it wasn't region-locked. Best movie I've seen in years lol. Oh well, hoping for a cool release in the US.

Yeah this is happening loads. I was walking down the blu Ray isle of sainsburys noticing how many new films were out but no sign of the steelbook.

levcore · 03-20-2015, 01:50 PM

Ach Zavvi, Paddington himself would be most displeased! Get em shipped

It seems many studios affected, although it's now two Studio Canal titles as 71 Steelbook is still outstanding and that was due 2 weeks ago.

Good point, I was not aware about 71.

EthanRunt · 03-22-2015, 07:35 PM

Glad I pre-ordered the steelbook 3 months before release, was worth it with the speedy delivery from Zavvi...
Every time they take a bit longer to send, but usually I get a dispatch before the Monday of release. The wait on Paddington is already tough. Can distributors stop giving them exclusivity on things, they cock it up with inevitability.

PJM · 03-24-2015, 09:39 PM

Despatched! Finally what feels like months after the standard release.
