Heads-up to US peeps who've been ordering Zavvi/UK exclusives through their UK site -- we've been cut off at the knees! I saw they had a copy of the Film Vault edition of Blade Runner back in stock, tried to order it, and was taken to a UK-locked ordering page. No more US shipments allowed! :( I just found it being discussed on the r/steelbooks site on Reddit, too. So, fair warning, y'all. Hopefully preorders will still be honored, but no word on that front yet, as far as I can tell.

Yikes.  It's not just for that title?  Everything?  I've had that happen before, but only on certain titles.  I hope this isn't the case.  Thanks @MikeH5856

Not sure about *everything* but it looks like UK exclusive titles and steels are on the outs for us. I just put Knock At The Cabin in my basket to test it, since that's getting a US release, but it's a no-go on that order too. Same for Back to the Future.

Screenshot from the subreddit I mentioned above.

 

TEXT:

Some changes were made over the last few days completely removing movie sections from many of the site settings but seems today they finally finished the transition and not only blocked the movie sections from most site settings but also blocked all Zavvi exclusive and UK only steels from shipping to any address outside of the UK. Once you reach checkout on the UK site setting, where most of the steelbooks are, you are only allowed to enter UK addresses to continue the process. On the US site setting you can still see a very small handful of steelbooks that were available here in the US anyway that also aren't Zavvi exclusive. We're not sure what the future plans are but for now it seems many of these steelbook will now no longer be available to collectors outside of the UK, similar to the way HMV runs.

I'll be sure to update this post with any new information.

I'm assuming that will mean all future Zavvi/EB releases.

Morning all.

 

I've been traveling a bunch lately and haven't had much time to check in. Hope you all are well.

 

Also, I was in NYC and was able to check out The Way of Water at that huge IMAX theater while I was there. As a final reminder, I HIGHLY recommend you see it on the largest screen and in the best format possible. It will NOT play the same at home. This might be your last chance before Quantumania comes out!

This one was always one of my favorites.

You know Larson "came back" for a brief period a couple of years ago. He was experimenting with digital art and would put out a new panel every now and then. Unfortunately, I just checked his site again and it looks like he hasn't done it in a while. It was fun to see though - just as it was when Bill Watterson made a surprise reappearance in the Pearls Before Swine strip a little ways back
