Gary Bailey I feel the need…the need for speed!!
I’m more intrigued about this?……maybe 4K steelbooks
Adam ‘chum’ Blackett I hope so!
Richard Reeve yeah I’m keeping my eye out for this as I’d love for them to come out on steelbook to add to the collection
Adam ‘chum’ Blackett same here, I don’t have any of the originals on steelbook and would love them. But to get them in pristine condition on ebay for a good price is very rare. I just hope they don’t release them all at once, my bank balance is already suffering with all the Back to the future stuff out this year! ?
Richard Reeve yeah to say where in lockdown I’ve spent more money on my film collection than I normally would,I was lucky enough to get the steelbooks off Zavvi years ago,fingers crossed for more to be released soon
Richard Reeve here’s my collection so far??
Adam ‘chum’ Blackett that’s such a cool collection! Yeah see I only started collecting steelbooks about 3 years ago. Now I’ve got all the marvel ones I wanted to collect another series! Unfortunately the lockdown has really come at the wrong time for my wallet, its the 35th anniversary of BTTF and they’re releasing so much stuff!
Richard Reeve what BTTF stuff are they releasing pls??
Jason Avid Merrion Willats there’s 8 new Funko pops as well as the playmobil sets, plus a few other bits which I can’t find anywhere in the UK. No steelbook announcements as yet but would’ve thought they would do them in 4k at some point
Richard Reeve aww ok, i have afew bits. One is my crown jewel tho haha
Oh really, as a fellow collector do you mind me asking what that is? Did you want a link to the playmobil set or Funkos?
Richard Reeve
Im not a fan of Funkos, they take up too much space lol
Jason Avid Merrion Willats ah OK fair enough. Oh wow that is incredible I’m so jealous! If there was one things I’d love to add to my collection it’s something signed! Don’t think I’m ever gonna be lucky enough to meet one of the cast to get one though
Richard Reeve the book i brought online from america, has all the results in it too, along with the dust cover 🙂
Jason Avid Merrion Willats oh wow, I bet that cost a pretty penny but when it’s something signed it’s worth it isn’t it?
Richard Reeve
That pic was at a convention. Love the background they had
That’s incredible, I don’t think I’d ever be lucky enough to meet any of the cast. The closest I’ve come to something that cool is this…..
Jason Avid Merrion Willats
I feel the need…. the need, to spend! I know its terrible but I couldn’t resist ?
Paul Mooney classic ?

Steelbook blu Ray News, is zavvi going to have this as well
I feel the need to ask why we, in the UK, don’t get digital codes with our discs any more? Online companies already try to dazzle us with smoke & mirrors by quoting a vastly inflated price but will sell you at a lower (but still very high) price even when it’s exclusive to them. Might as well say the price is £100 but we can have it for £29.99 – yep, the old “under £30.00” guff. It’s about time we got value for money.
In the UK, most studios used to do digital copies mainly via Ultraviolet, but that shut down a couple of years ago.
In the US, some of them use Movies Anywhere, which covers Disney/Fox, Sony, Universal and Warners, but they haven’t launched in the UK. Who knows if they will.
So then it’s really up to individual studios/labels what that want to do. Most offer disc OR digital (via itunes, Amazon video, Google Play, etc) purchases.
One label who DO still include digital codes is Lionsgate, who provide a code that you can redeem on either iTunes or Google Video.
All down to the studios and labels – nothing to do with the retailers
Steelbook Blu Ray News You say it’s nothing to do with the retailer, but a code that I got with a disc last week from Zavvi (Rampage) was out of date. When I contacted Zavvi, they asked for a picture of the code and said THEY don’t supply discs with codes anymore.
Ultraviolet shut down on 31st July last year, but digital download availability has been sparse for a lot longer.
As you say, in the USA, it’s available with the disc. Here it’s available as another purchase. It doesn’t matter which way it’s coloured, we get stuffed in this country.
Graham Head I buy what I can from the US because of this. Bit of a faff to set up but Movies Anywhere codes/App works well and stuff ports across to Google Play etc. Vudu not so easy, but can be done. Worth investigating.
Graham Head You feel the need, the need for digital codes?? I feel the need, the need for speed ?? Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Graham Head that disc of Rampage was probably an old one of our had an out of date code. I suspect when they refresh stock they don’t come with codes, but again, the codes will be put by the studios when the discs are manufactured and packaged before being sent to retailers
Graham Head did you try it anyway? I have often found that even out of date codes still work.
By the way, I hear you about digital copies. I really wish they were still included – does it really cost Universal more to use Movies Anywhere than Google Play? And it just seemed to be keeping with the times – for best picture and sound you you’ve bought the disc, but for the convenience you can take it with you on your tiny phone.
Craig Gordon Yep, tried it and nothing. I use my iPad to watch movies when I’m travelling, never a phone.
The thing that used to bug me with Ultraviolet was that it was advertised as being able to be viewed anywhere, but they conveniently left out the part that your code had to be used in the country where the disc was bought.
Graham Head I spent a long time not caring about it but kept the codes. Then one day decided to enter them all. Glad I did now – it’s over 100 films that I can watch anywhere now.
??
We don’t get digital anymore because they want people to buy digital now instead of giving them away. It’s all about the money.
Only, it seems, in this country.
Steelbook blu Ray News, will zavvi be getting this?
The USA Steelbook art had to be corrected as per TheDigitalBits.com
“A couple weeks ago, a number of Bits readers quietly alerted me to the fact that Paramount’s original artwork for the Top Gun 4K Steelbook featured the silhouette of an F-15 Eagle jet fighter instead of the iconic F-14 Tomcats seen in the film. So after sharing it on my social feeds, I alerted Paramount to the error.
Well, the good news is that the studio has officially corrected the artwork, as you can see to the left there. The bad news is that the Steelbook release is now delayed until 12/8 (presumably due to complications in the Steelbook manufacturing schedule).”

So to order in june or wait 5 months ??
This film isn’t much cop in HD to be fair. I have the original bluray and the dog fight scenes do not look great, everything else looks nice but the best bits of the film just don’t pop
