Zavvi Exclusive Steelbook - Limited to 4000 copies.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who, after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

I'm not bothered by steelbooks, can take them or leave them. I just think of them as a 'nice to have' rather than a kind of investment. 7 years time and this will be on ITV3 every couple of days anyway!

Agree 100% worthless once new/better formats come out (and I'm sure everything will go digital - streaming, cloud - eventually anyway). Don't think there are many out there paying ridiculous money for rare VHSs or Cassette Tapes from years ago.

As it is no longer listed, due to the steelbook selling out, I have expired this deal.

Ordered with the Zbox because it makes sense. Makes the steelbook £20 and the Zbox ends up costing £10 with £5 topcashback for zbox's. I need a mug and a T-shirt , comic is cool and the other stuff can be gifted. The actual Zbox - box is worth a couple quid.

Is that going to happen to Deadpool though? How many films other than Star Wars have been repeatedly edited and remastered by the director? And there will be digital copies of this movie. The original will never be lost.

And as for steelbook value. A lot are well worth the money, cant really go wrong with marvel steelbooks especially.
Examples:
The recent Thor 3d lentucular steelbook sold out completely in a few days at around £23. It already goes for around £35 on ebay. That ones done a lot better than the other lenticular ones they released, mainly due its great design.
The daredevil steelbook they did a year or so made it all the way down to the £6.99/ 2 for £12 price. They now go for over £30 despite it being classed as a stinky movie as collectors want it for their Marvel collections.
The 4000 is a bit high, but seen as this films got a good buzz they wont stick around long and have good potential to be worth a lot more

Well since a lot of these steelbooks will be bought by people who probably wont look after them and keep them in mint condition, just makes it better for people who will look after them.

If you want it to make money off it then probably not worth it as everyone has already pointed out that it'll be worthless much like game steelbooks, but hoping the extras alone will be worth buying for! Best Marvel movie to date*!
*This is an opinion that I hold... Not everyone will agree, however, I don't care!

Steelbooks are lovely items to have if you really like the film. IF you like them, as I do, then buy them and enjoy them. IF you think they're a waste of money, don't buy them and shut up. No one is suggesting they're a priceless family heirloom here.
hass123
10 Feb 16#51
and with the deadpool + zbox promotion being £34.99, and zboxes being £20 (not including the welcome zbox £10), it's like paying an extra £8 just for the steelbook.
Gamer_U
10 Feb 161#50
So just a custom steelbook with the Blu-ray disc? Nothing else (i.e, a booklet)? Not a bad price considering new BD movies go for £19.99 so paying a little extra for a steelbook case may be worth it if you're a fan.
"Don't think there are many out there paying ridiculous money for rare VHSs or Cassette Tapes from years ago."
I remember seeing separate VHS copies of the original star wars trilogy sell on eBay for £500, due to the original roll film being deteriorated. There are the special editions but Lucas added edited parts of the original. The closest thing now available is the Harmy despecialised editions.

Don't get the zbox. You'll be paying extra for a box of utter sh**. I bought one with the Age of Ultron bundle. And sent it straight back.
Had a promo comic, promo pack of cards, a dvd in a cardboard sleeve like you get free in Sunday newspapers, an a4 "poster", a pop vinyl figure, and a catalogue.

Zavvi usually place a number of limited editions out....they do quickly sell out on preorder then people chuck them on ebay for crazy money...oddly enough a lot end up coming back in stock from Zavvi...Warrior for example sold out for about 6 months then they suddenly had them back in stock! Some end up on Zavvi Outlet in Ebay as well.
They also have a tendency to drop the price a few weeks after pre order release!

The last 2 limited edition steelbooks I ordered from these (ant man 3D & Terminator Genysis 3D) sold out on pre orders then a couple of days before release they miraculously had a load more stock
PlanetP to robrainsford
10 Feb 16#28
That's probably because those movies weren't very well received and people decided to cancel their pre-orders.
Tigga!

we had the killer zbox delivered this morning and it's full of crap. cheap chucky soft toy rag doll thing, cheap small boba fett mug. lime green t-shirt with a raven print and lots of paper printed tack

World wide release except China due to being banned over there. This is currently on pre-order on Amazon.fr also. First edition and UK release will hold its value somewhat but limited to 4000 you won't get rich from it.
Seeing this tonight, will decide on whether or not to keep my pre-order after watching looks awesome.

Cheers, 1st release marvel steels tend to hold their value, however zavvi is losing money by flooding market with re-release steelbooks. Like any commodity will end up worthless when their no longer a special item. ( 2 cents!) lol
PlanetP to blugardian
10 Feb 16#3
I agree - you have to pick and choose which ones to buy - and I've never lost money on one yet through looking for those which combine quality with rarity. The mistake made by Zavvi with many of their other steelbooks is that they have often chosen poor/niche movies and then run out truck loads of them. I'm putting my money where my mouth is on this one as I want it anyway but think it will do well for those who might want to cash in a later date.

This isn't a marvel steel, it's a zavvi steel, and they just run off a few more thousand 'limited' ones later.

It's not a special today only price, £29.99 is the RRP, (It's possible it'll go up to £24.99 but it's unlikely)

EDIT: The standard Blu-ray is £14.99 on Zavvi (not counting with discount code + cashback) so not as good of a deal as I'd thought - http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/deadpool/11243817.html

Can't guarantee it would work (especially if using the HENCH10 code), but worth a shot :smiley:
