A similar thing happened with their SteelBook release for 'The Goonies'. Initially, the front design had been badly positioned/cropped, but Zavvi later corrected it.

I don't think I could pay that amount for a film that doesn't have a new transfer and has audio issues. I think I will wait and see if Universal re release it when the Legend of Conan comes around...

I cant see it looking too much better really. And yes there are audio issues - its a bit tinny to start with but gets a bit better as the film goes on. Theres a massive Conan thread on the US forum of course. As it is though, the UK one is still the best of a bad bunch overall I think (the US one is a fair bit shorter than the European ones). Yeah the horsefall bit is cut out but thats blink and youll miss it so not important to me.

Ill be getting it even though Ive got the newer amaray already.

1000% I'll be getting this! Hopefully the art was quickly placed on the site and will be centered upon release...but the pro's far outweigh the con's on this, IMO.

Original Boris art on the front(and back I believe)??? How did Zavvi pull THAT off?

Pre-ordered!

Me too! I wish there was 4/40 code so I can add this with the two Transformers steels and get £4 off.

I've probably got about 25 from Zavvi either in hand or on pre-order since making the discovery you have just discovered when I did three months ago.

Roof1975 · 07-26-2013, 06:03 PM

Preordered!

Now I can cancel my order of the Conan steelbook from Amazon france.

vidjunkie · 07-26-2013, 07:18 PM

So where can someone in the US get this and who packages the best?

Thanks

wjasoncul · 07-26-2013, 07:23 PM

Might hold off and see if Amazon.uk picks it up since it isn't a Zavvi exclusive. Unless Zavvi puts out another code here soon.

So far only US shipper is Zavvi but they do a good job with packaging for the most part.
