I can't bring myself to pre order it. No doubt it will be available for £7.99 one week after its released.

Mavrick · 12-09-2015, 09:49 PM

At this point I won't be ordering. I bet it'll end up being in the first wave or two of UHDBD releases so I won't be double dipping. I'll keep the HD version I have saved on my Sky box until then.

DJJez · 12-09-2015, 10:42 PM

will only be ordering once its like £6.99 as i bought the boxset from america which is really nice!

Sweet! Right next to my first one

I'm glad I held off on buying the new boxset. I'll wait a bit longer for the price to drop on this. Feeling too burned preordering 'limited' Zavvi steels that end up half price in 2 months.

[Show spoiler]

A few questions:

1) Since it's sold out, do you think it will become available again?
2) Assuming it will appear on eBay, do you think $75 is a good deal?
3) Is Zavvi in the UK?
4) What is your favorite color?

1.what is scalping?
2. why do people scalp?
3. who can i scalp on bluray.com?
4. i read you should scalp at least 5 x the original price, is this too low? i was hoping to scalp 10 x cost.
5. how do you scalp a scalper whos scalping multiple scalpers?

thank you

Easy pass.

I bet this costs more than to import the double pack which includes both films with 4K remasters.

You are probably right, but you are in the steelbook forum so...

I know. Steelbooks are one of those things people will buy regardless.

Example.

Urgh its a £4.99 blu ray that was released in 2007 with an mpeg-2 transfer and dolby digital audio. What do you mean it comes in a steelbook for £20? Take my money.

karlpilkington4PM · 12-10-2015, 02:38 PM

i don't get it, the artwork is the same as the DVD release. Other than "because it's a steelbook," why would you double-dip on this when you can get 1 and 2 for about the same price?

BlueAngel7 · 12-10-2015, 02:47 PM

Someone explain to me how this is a grail because I don't see it?!!

It was (an attempt at) a joke

There is no reason. Being in the steelbook section most of the time the fact that is got the steel treatment is good enough.

I myself am happy with the US double box set and missed the UK steelbook for the first movie so I am passing unless it hits the bargain bin.

Sony and Zavvi really missed an opportunity here. If the outside artwork had been the same as it is, but the inside artwork had been Johnny Tapia and those "little angels looking down" on him, I'd have been all over this.

Yup, really not understanding why WS and ML had to be on the front, back and inside artwork.
