Hey Keith,
We're really sorry that you didn't receive The Fifth Element Deluxe Edition as expected. By the time it was released, we had already moved on from Zavvi. Despite that, we're thrilled that you managed to write such a fantastic review! Your kind words mean a lot to us.
Also, a big shoutout to John for sharing his copy with you for the review. People like him really showcase why the physical media community is so wonderful.
Fingers crossed that you'll be able to grab a copy of The Fifth Element in the future at a reasonable price. Thanks a bunch!
Best regards,
EB
You have absolutely nothing to apologize about. This was all zavvi doing. I can't stress to you how much of a fan I am of your label and I genuine look forward to any announcements from you regarding releases like this. Fingers crossed everything will go okay with my Leon release. Even though I don't own the Fifth Element release at least I could say I had it in my hands and I know what it looks like and it will almost inspire me to hunt one down for myself. A huge thank you for stopping by and please keep up the wonderful work
Hey Keith, just back from holidays and catching up on the channel. Love "The Fifth Element" another great edition, great art work. Looking forward to watching the 4K, Patrick.
Hey Patrick. I hope you had a great time on your vacation my friend and a huge thanks for stopping by and saying hello. Really appreciate it
HOLY MOLY !!! waht an incredible looking set i recently picked up the standard slipcase edition on 4k and now im super jealous. that multi pass is freaking awesome
It really is a stunning looking release and I honestly can't wait to see what their next release Leon is going to look like. Fingers crossed everything goes okay with that release. Thank you for checking it out Curtis. I really appreciate it
Wow, great video Kieth! The artwork on this set looks amazing…but holy cow, what a story behind the scenes of your drama with Zavvi. I have to admit, I myself have been on the edge of my seat when it comes to ordering with them as well. For instance, when I was waiting for the “Edge of Tomorrow” box set, that was a real nail biter…I wasn’t even sure I was going to get it as others had their orders cancelled. Thankfully, mine eventually showed up, but what a stress fest!
That reminds me, I have a couple films on pre-order regarding Warner Bros. “Film Vault Range” one from a 3rd party seller getting his from Zavvi in the UK, the other from Vice Press. I’m starting to get anxious as they’ve been pushed back into September October.
I can’t imagine the amount of anxiety that you have Kieth with all the releases you are waiting for. Hopefully this release will find its way in you hands soon.
On a side note, I recently acquired the “Hunger Games steel-book box set” you reviewed earlier, and I have to say, in person that set is absolutely gorgeous. I’m so glad I caught your review on that. Totally worth it! I happened to catch it on sale at my local Best Buy. The EBay listings are for 3 times as much! So thank you for yet another great find. Cheers!
How shocking it is that here is two of us talking about anxiety when it comes to dealing with Zavvi. You should never have to deal with anxiety you should be able to rely on a company to simply send you what you've ordered. But whatever it is with Zavvi they never tried to improve themselves. They do not care about the items they send out or the people they send them to and you are absolutely correct I do get anxiety when it comes to receiving anything from them. Thankfully I have one more edition pre-ordered from them and after that I will no longer entertain them and rightfully so. I have all four of those film vault Editions pre-ordered with Amazon and again you can't help but feel somewhat worried because of their packaging. But the good news is with Amazon at least you know you are getting some great customer care service. I'm hoping nothing will go wrong with them. Oh by the way I am absolutely ecstatic that you picked up that Hunger Games release. I can't stress to you how happy I was that I picked it up regardless of what I think of the movies which I still haven't seen. I might actually start them this weekend now that I think of it. A huge thank you as always my good friend for stopping by and checking out this video and of course for saying hello. I really appreciate it
Genuinely blown away by that release Keith, Steelbook is absolutely gorgeous.
Very sad to hear Zavvi did you dirty - there’s absolutely no excuse for leaving a collector high and dry like you’ve unfortunately experienced.
Happy hunting in finding your copy at a reasonable price my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
I was going to say unfortunately these things happen but the seem to happen quite frequently with Zavvi. It is very frustrating because as you said the release is absolutely astonishing and it's almost inspired me to go out and try and find one for myself. I'm sure it will happen someday hopefully soon. A huge thank you as always my good friend for stopping by
Wow,that box set is Stunning 😍 Has to be up there for Box set of the year shortlist.
It would be hard to choose between this release and the Bruce Lee collection that came out from arrow video. Great year for collectors Editions no question about it. Thanks for checking it out David
Great video and great boxset to a great film and nice of that person to let you show it off
Yeah it was incredibly kind of John to lend me this box set so I could make this video. Amazing to think he hasn't seen it himself yet. Thanks for checking it out Danny
I have the collectors edition Deluxe and the normal. I couldn't resist to buy both. I initially ordered back in 2022 when Zavvi was still dispatching abroad. I thought I wouldn't get my copies, and when I saw that Zavvi has dispatched them I was really happy. Once I got this in my hand, wowwww, I was delighted with such an amazing set. All credits goes to Everythingblu. This is one of the best if not the best release ever. Is just perfect from the exterior to interior artwork is a piece of art. Big thanks to Everythingblu for the commitment in producing this beauty and to your great video unboxing Kieth 👍
Fair play to you for picking up both releases. They do look fantastic and hopefully someday I will be able to get the deluxe release for myself. As you said all the credit goes to everythingblu and rightly so. What are fantastic job they're done on all of their releases. I have no complaints when it comes to them whatsoever. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to stop by. Look after them releases
By normal release, do you mean the steelbook on it’s own because I still haven’t received mine and it’s been pretty much 9 months 😐
I was presuming he was talking about the smaller edition inside the big box.
Hi Keith the room layout looks great. a great setting. a great boxset
Hey Mike. Yeah I have to admit I was ecstatic how the shelf behind me turned out. Gives me that much needed space. A huge thank you for stopping by my friend
Beauriful edition. One of my 90's favorites movie
The movie is really out there but my god I can't stress how much I love it. Thanks for checking it out
Amazing looking box set keith
A huge thanks as always Simon for stopping by
Oh chuffin ell Keith, when I saw the thumbnail my response was "YES, HE'S GOT ONE" Then I started watching the video and my response was "NO... HE HASN'T" (clean version). We spoke a couple of weeks ago so I already knew the story. Even my cheaper Collectors Edition was lost in limbo for over a week but fortunately mine did eventually arrive. Hope you get hold of one soon mate. Cheers. Gary.
Yeah unfortunately it didn't work out for me Gary but I have good news for you something has worked out for me and it's your package you sent to me. It arrived through the door a couple of days ago. I completely forgot to message u so a huge apology for that but I haven't opened it yet and I would like to do it on a video if that's okay. Looking forward to seeing what you have sent
@@millerman9991 Oh I am so glad you got it in the end mate. What was it? Five weeks? Yes just put it on the end of one of your other videos if you like Keith, it's only a couple of items. Brilliant. All the best. Gary.
Unfortunately over here when Customs gets hold of a parcel they can hold it for so long but I have it now and that's the most important thing and a huge thanks again Gary
Hi Keith, super looking video and it does indeed look great 😊, keep up the good work !
It's the man of the hour. A huge thanks for doing that for me John. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to do this video. Trust me when I say you are in for a treat when you see it
Good luck in getting your own copy soon Keith, and I'm so glad you told the guy on ebay to stick it where the sun don't shine. I will say one thing, this movie looks stunning in 4K. The artwork on this version is amazing as well. I love the Walking Dead backdrop, well done on that. Have you seen all the seasons of the Walking Dead Keith.
Hey Gary. Fingers crossed I can get my own very soon. But I am going to have to deal with the fact that I'm going to have to pay a bit more hopefully not too much. I haven't seen all of the Walking Dead series as of yet. I actually stopped right after season 7. It started to get a little bit repetitive. I need to go back and see what it's like
You are not going to believe this Keith, but just over 5 years ago I was recommended to watch the Walking Dead so I binged on all 7 seasons at the time which was about 99 episode over a 2 week period and I had a blast. Forward 5 years later and I am yet to still watch seasons 8,9.10,and 11, which I will get round to at some point. Your bust's of the Walking Dead look amazing, so glad you're showing them off.@@millerman9991
@singin8324 to be honest Gary I think one of the reasons to why I stopped is because a lot of episodes were dragging on for me. But I'm not against finishing it off I'm just waiting for the right time. How strange is it that you managed to stop at season 7 as well. Do I dare say great minds
Definitely great minds, but the good thing is when I'm ready I have another 4 seasons to binge on.
@@millerman9991
Now that I think of it Gary I need to pick up the last four seasons. It's a shame they stopped doing the busts after season 6
Beautiful release. Got my copy here in the states a few weeks back. You're right! Zavvi are pretty horrible all around. I hope your copy still shows up. There's always a chance that it still could. I had an incident, where I had the TOC Matrix steelbook coming from Zavvi. It didn't show up when expected, and I got a refund after the 30 day period. Well, three months after that it showed up. It decided to take a trip to Singapore, before making it's way to me here in the states. So, hope your copy does eventually show up, or you can acquire one at a reasonable price. Best of luck Keith 👍
Great to hear that you managed to get your copy and I'm assuming everything was okay which is also great. I keep telling myself that maybe someday it might come through the door but I honestly can't see it happening. I've had that many messages from people telling me that the exact same thing happened to them with their release. I think it's zavvi up to there old tricks again. Thankfully I have only one more pre-order from them and after that I will no longer have to worry about dealing with them which I think is a blessing in disguise. A huge thank you for stopping by and again great to hear you got your release it's absolutely spectacular and I'm hoping someday I can find one
@@millerman9991 Thank you! Glad I got it too, after that very long wait. It showed up in perfect shape. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I only have one more release coming from Zavvi as well. That would be the deluxe edition of Leon. It's already gotten one delay. Hopefully no more happen, and hopefully I receive it in one piece. Best of luck getting your copy, and have a fantastic day😀👍🙏
Yeah Leon is my last pre-order as well and fingers crossed everything goes well with both our Editions and hopefully no more delays.
I've got the exact boxset from Zavvi - after not hearing anything for months I decided to cancel but as I had download their online magazine (as part of the order) the website would not let me for some reason.
So I just thought I'd try again another time and then forgot about it (had a bereavement so my mind wasn't really on it)
Then out of the blue I got an email saying it was going to be delivered in a few days.
Great boxset (my most pricey).
But I would think twice about one from Zavvi again.
I know it's an expensive set Steve but I honestly think it's worth every penny and you're very lucky to have one. I would do anything to have one myself. Fingers crossed sometime in the future I will. I have my Leon edition pre-ordered with Zavvi and hopefully everything will be okay with that and then after that I think I'm done when it comes to Zavvi. You just can't trust them.
Fantastic release Keith, very kind gesture for him to let you show it. I've heard EverythingBlu have cut ties with Zavvi . If you go to their website ( EverythingBlu.com )there is a notification link , i think they may go solo again fingers crossed 🤞
Wow Matt thank you so much for that information and I will check out that website and hopefully fingers crossed that its true Because they do not need to be associated with Zavvi. Their only harming their reputation
Ahhh Zavvi, our favourite! I noticed the upcoming special editions of Leon The Professional you mentioned are delayed until October. Let's hope the situation with that release isn't the same as this one as I have Leon on pre-order.
A really beautiful release. Love the multi-pass. I do think Leeloo also looks a little off on the cover art for the main box but a really minor gripe.
Unbelievable I was under the impression that Leon edition was out in the next week or two and now it's been delayed. My God can that company get anything right. Hopefully fingers crossed nothing goes wrong when it does come available.
It's weird a few people mentioned the same things yourself about Leeloo and after looking at it again I have to agree with you. Something not quite right about it. Of course taking nothing away from the set itself which is astonishing.
I’m multipass is spectacular that needs to be put that on display 😮
It looks absolutely astonishing but apparently some of the information written down on it is wrong.
Great review, and its a Lovely set indeed. Fingers crossed we all get Leon.
I only just found out that the Leon edition has been delayed until October. Why can't zavvi get their release dates right
@@millerman9991 I have decided to put Leon out of my thoughts Zavvi just cant be trusted sadly. Anyway October has Hellraiser 4k boxset and The Exorcist 4k. i managed to grab the steel book on Amazon italy.
I actually need to pick up that steelbook from Amazon Italy I think it looks absolutely beautiful. October is going to be a big month and great to see some of my favorite horror movies getting the 4K treatment
Exorcist 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition is back on Amazon UK.
Thankfully i had it Pre-ordered already. Can't wait to get my hands on it
Oh, no! Not yet another story of you not ending up getting the release you'd ordered.
Anyway, it is a fantastic looking release. I really hope you'll be able to get it someday.
Yeah unfortunately it seems to be happening a bit too much to me and I'm getting sick of it at this point. Now I have to go and try and find one of these on eBay at a good price. Thanks for checking it out Patrick
Just received mine here in Australia, and it was a little sad as it's the last item that will ever come from Zavvi to get delivered to Australia. Hope you manage to get yourself one soon without getting ripped off. 👍🏻
Great to hear that you got yours in your hands and safely and hopefully someday I will find one myself. I have a bit of good news for you because the company that actually does these releases have left zavvi and you will be able to buy these Editions directly from them. Just check out everythingblu.com
@millerman9991 hopefully that's true! I have all their previous releases and they are still amongst my favourites in my collection. Hopefully they do leave Zavvi and get back to doing it themselves.
To be honest I think that's when everythingblu were at their best when they were doing it themselves. They're only going to be hampered by zavvi and they will tarnish their fantastic reputation
Hi Keith. Great vid by the way. I'm so glad that you've highlighted zavvi's huge poor service. I have only shopped with them for about 2 years & have had nothing but problems. My ultimate hatred is that they own Arrow video & on a few orders you can tell. Also I hate that sometimes Zavvi do an exclusive arrow 4K set i.e. the Robin Hood steelbok set which you couldn't buy from arrow due to the exclusivity. It had to be Zavvi. Also you can't use your RC discount on pre-orders. Or cancel orders that are " in process in the warehouse " . A shockingly run company
Honestly Gareth I have never seen a company that simply will not try to improve their situation. The amount of videos that I have done complaining about zavvi is borderline frightening and to be honest I feel like the idiot for dealing with them. The one thing I will tell you Gareth when it comes to zavvi particularly that Robin Hood edition that you are talking about from arrow Video but do check out Amazon Italy because they do get a lot of those so-called zavvi exclusives as well. I'm almost certain that's where I got my arrow Video release of Robin Hood.
Wow that's a great edition Keith, hopefully you will get your one soon, remember.... everything (blu) comes to he who waits 👍
Now that is just pure poetry John 😆 🤣. You know as well as I do somewhere down the line I will get one. I just have to be patient. A huge thanks as always my friend for stopping by
@@millerman9991 I'm sure you'll get one Keith and at a decent price too 👍
A big fingers crossed on that one John
@@millerman9991 🤞
Hi Keith, I've emailed you about this edition!!!!
Bloody nightmare with your supplier mate. Old school shopping used to be so much easier. Great vid
It's an absolute nightmare Andy and you think I would learn and not go near that company again. Hopefully someday I will
I have the same issues every time I purchase from Zavvi. Like you say though it’s difficult not to purchase from them even though you know what to expect. Love your content 👍🏻
I stopped buying stuff from Zavvi they are a pain to deal with
I have the deluxe release of Leon hopefully coming at the end of this month and after that I have no reason to do anymore business with Zavvi. I can't say that I will miss them. A huge thanks Scott for stopping by
Totally agree with you, very poor company to deal with!
Hopefully I won't have to deal with them for much longer. Thanks for checking it out Matt
@@millerman9991 no worries Keith, 👍 have left another comment some news on everythingblu 👍
Hey Keith,
I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't receive your copy, and I genuinely hope you manage to snag one real soon. By the way, I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the artwork I created. I intentionally made them all have a similar design so that whether you go for the steelbook or the Deluxe edition, you'll know they're all part of the same awesome collection. Your kind words truly mean a lot.
Thanks again, and all the best!
Warm regards,
Adeniyi @artofthesteel
Let me start by saying you have a gift my friend because this is one of the greatest Editions I have ever seen and it kills me that I've lost out on this release and hopefully someday in the near future I will find one. Fingers crossed everything will go okay with the Leon release which looks equally as beautiful and I'm presuming I have you to thank for that as well. Keep up the great work my friend it's greatly appreciated.
@@millerman9991 Thank you so much, appreciated.
Love this edition. I do have the steelbook but may need to keep an eye out for this set. On the subject of Zavvi, I now use these when only absolutely necessary as their customer service over the years has been abysmal. I agree that there’s usually an issue when using Zavvi but the fact that the customer service is even worse just beggars belief! Anyway Keith thanks for the vid and take it easy.
I am just like yourself I will only use them if absolutely necessary and thankfully I do not have many pre-orders left with them only the Leon release and to be honest I'm not expecting to get that either. After that I will finally be done with them and thankfully so because it's not worth the heartache dealing with them and as you mentioned their customer service is let's face it non-existent. A huge thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate it my friend
Thank you Keith.
No problem my friend. Thanks again for stopping by
Just picked this up on ebay. It was £130 but having watched your unboxing it seemed worth the money. It's an amazing set.
You're definitely a bad influence Keith!! 😁😉
Congratulations Mark you done incredibly well to get one at 130 pounds. It's a beautiful Edition and I think it's worth every single penny. I'm so sorry for being such a bad influence but in the long run I think you'll thank me 😆 🤣. A huge thanks as always mark for stopping by
I must be one of the lucky ones then. I have never had any problems with my Zavvi purchases. I got my Ex Machina and Singin In The rain 4k steelbook box sets last week, which were well packed and damage free by the way, and I did (eventually) get my Fifth Element Collectors Edition which was also well packed and damage free. I also got the Dune 4k box set, Robocop 4k box set, Silent Running 4k box set and various other 4k blu rays and steelbooks. All well packed and damage free. Now I've said that, the next purchase will arrive smashed to bits. 😅
It's actually great to hear Gary that you've had no issues and honestly I hope you have none in the future. Me personally I've had nothing but Trouble from them. This is not the first video I have made complaining about zavv. Their customer service is an absolute joke and I don't think they care about their customers if I'm completely honest. I hope you never have to go through any of this in the future Gary because I promise you if you do you will fully understand what we are talking about. Oh by the way some of the pickups you got are absolutely astonishing. Now that is what I call a haul
I probably should have changed one word there. I also HAVE (over the last few years) Dune 4k box set etc... I haven't just bought all of this stuff, I'm not that wealthy Keith. You take care, both of you. Gary.
Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't spent over one week. Even I'm not capable of that 😂 😆
ZAVVI 😏..:. They pulled out of all physical media delivery to Australia last year ! No idea why
Cheers for video
You know what Conor maybe it's a blessing in disguise because there are joke of a company. Thanks as always my good friend for stopping by. Give all my best to the family
@@millerman9991 will do mate ! Heading to City on Ferry today ! Henry’s first trip on a ferry 😃! Be safe Keith 🙏🙏🙏
I hope you have a great day Conor. I'm sure Henry will love it
Good video Keith and great you still got to do an unboxing Zavvi cancelled mine for me 🤦🏻♂️ so I never got one either, they are a shitshow and don’t know why I keep doing it to myself. Best news I saw on Instagram that everything blu are no longer working with Zavvi and Zavvi will be releasing Leon themselves so I’ve cancelled that too. Again great video Keith my go to channel as always with unboxings 👌🏻
Hey Paul. I am so sorry to hear that you went through all this garbage as well. They are a joke of a company there is no question about it. Now I do have the Leon edition pre-ordered but after that I am done with them. I am so curious to see if they are going to burn me again with that release. Great news by the way when it comes to everythingblu and hopefully we can buy directly from them again. A huge thank you Paul for the incredibly kind words my friend. All the best to you and Rach
Awesome edition for the fith element really good 👍
Yeah I was blown away by it. Thanks for checking it out Luke
A great release Keith. Glad you could get your hands on it to show us and hopefully you can purchase in the future.
Love the new shelf. I look forward to you showing that and the rest of the room whenever you next decide to do the tour.
Hey Darren. Even though I do not have my own version it was great to actually be able to show it and see it for myself. Now I want it even more.
I will definitely be doing a video on that new shelf and I was ecstatic how it turned out. Finally got some much needed room. A huge thank you for stopping by my friend
@@millerman9991 more room to a movie collector is a dangerous thing to our wallets 😊 how often do you manage to watch a movie would you say?
Believe it or not but there is only two days out of the week that I watch movies and that's Thursday and Saturday but we do watch a lot on those days. Probably three on Thursday night and maybe four on Saturday. Of course with a few beers
@@millerman9991 sounds like a great couple of days. I must admit its rare I'd watch more than one in a day but occasionally have done a double bill. The beauty of movies is you can pick or choose whatever takes your fancy and the choices are endless 😊
It can be a bit of a headache in this room so I try to pick them out in advance so I don't have to spend too much time looking.
A nice release with some good swag.
Yeah I was very impressed with it and it only makes me want it more.
johns a great friend anyway🙂
I honestly couldn't agree more. I wouldn't mind he hasn't seen the set himself yet
Fantastic set!! Unfortunately, there's a lot of greedy, selfish people that always pre-orders Limited Edition sets and sells them on ebay for double the price!! It Pisses me off!! Speaking of Zavvi, I'm still waiting for my American Werewolf In London hand statue edition that i pre-ordered about 2 bloody years ago 😡
I am not kidding Steven I went on to eBay and there must be hundreds of them for sale bear in mind they're limited to one thousand so it just goes to show how many of them the scalpers got hold of. It's sickens me. I have that American werewolf bust edition pre-ordered myself and to be honest I don't think it's going to happen not now not after this time. Another disappointment from zavvi
New follower here, fantastic collection u have,love your reviews 😊 love from Bulgaria
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the incredibly kind words. I really appreciate it. I think you're my first subscriber from Bulgaria
I stopped ordering from Zavvi about a year ago. They will NEVER get my money ever again.
At least you had the common sense to stop dealing with them. I really should do the same myself
Just got back from my vacation to Croatia. Nice to see this fantastic edition. Love literally everything about it. Didn't pre order it myself last year because of the price. But I'm actually glad Zavvi decided to stop shipping movies overseas. They still send me emails that they miss me and every now and give a discount. But I don't want their stupid merch haha.
It saves me a lot of stress and contacting their customer service about 3 hours per month. Yeah, we miss out on some great releases. But most of then eventually also appear on Amazon. And for these kind of releases... They can stick it up their...
Like you said. How come a pure shit company like them still get such beautiful exclusives from companies. My mind is blown.
I hope you will get this one eventually too. But I'm glad you still have the common sense to refuse a conman on ebay.
Hey Robert. I hope you had a great vacation my friend. Croatia is a beautiful country and I can only imagine what It was like.
At least you had the common sense to stay away from Zavvi. You think I would. I have one more edition pre-ordered from them and it's another everythingBlu release of Leon. But I was told that everythingblu are no longer associated with Zavvi so at least I can buy these releases through the company themselves and not Zavvi so chances are I won't have any excuses to go near them again. Happy Days to that. A huge thank you as always my good friend for stopping by. Look after yourself
Love this movie. Hate to hear about your order ordeal.
Yeah it was incredibly frustrating and like I said in the video I have to go onto eBay now and try and find one. Absolute nightmare
Fantastic edition Keith... hope you get yiur hands on one.....Thers a chap selling one here in Germany on a local buying site.... but when i post the link on this.... CZcams deletes my comment....
I actually seen the link but I couldn't reply to the comment. Unfortunately the one you showed me is the standard release. It's the small release inside the big box and I couldn't believe the money that he's trying to get for it. I'm hoping someday I can find one and thanks for looking out for me Roy
Ok no probs Keith.....👍
I've just bought this realese mate ,I've got it of ebay for 140 pounds so hopefully u should be able get one at a good price .loving ya content as always ,keep it up 👍
Hey Craig. I have to admit you done incredibly well to get one for 140 pounds and I'm hoping I can get one at a similar price. A huge thank you for stopping by
Wish was alien with the second cards in that style.
I've ordered the LEON UCE now I'm concerned but missed this release I waited too long!!
I've heard Martin that Leon will be the last EverythingBlu collaboration , I'm not surprised if you go to EverythingBlu site scroll down, and there is a notification link fingers crossed, they will go solo again !
I have it pre-ordered myself Martin and I'm hoping this will be the last time I will ever have to deal with Zavvi again. Fingers crossed for the both of us that everything will be okay
Yea fingers crossed it goes smoothly@@millerman9991
Great Video Keith
A huge thanks as always my friend for stopping by
Sorry you had to go through that, Keith. They really are an absolute shambles of a company. I've had my own tales of woe with them in the past. If they didn't have such great exclusives, I doubt anyone would deal with them.
From what I have been hearing everythingblu have left zavvi and rightfully so and I'm hoping I will be able to buy directly off their website again. They should never have joined up with Zavvi. All they done was ruin their reputation been with them. I think everybody has their own tales when it comes to zavvi. It's a testament to how bad they are
@millerman9991 I also think it's an awful shame that so many of these great releases go to scumbag scalpers who just want to sell them on eBay and ripoff real fans like me & you. I hope you can eventually get this edition at a reasonable price. I'm sure you will, pal.
If you go onto eBay you will not believe the amount of these Editions are up on sale. The scalpers most have got at least half of them and I honestly think it's a big joke and these companies need to put a stop to that somehow. Like you said it's the fans that lose out
I haven't bought anything from zavvi, since 2019 horrific company, the scalpers likely bought the lot hence Zavvis lost in the post story, good luck with finding it.😮
Yeah they're an absolute joke of a company and I'm the bigger joke for dealing with them. You can clearly see on eBay that the scalpers got hold of them. Hopefully I can get one on the cheap
Great video mate, I m gutted I didnt grab a copy! Looks amazing, did you enjoy the Bruce lee box set ?
Hey Mark. I have checked out entered the dragon and it was extraordinary but I haven't seen the others yet. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy them if Enter the Dragon is anything to go by
@@millerman9991 good stuff glad you liked it mate, once your ready I’ll send you a list of top other amazing martial art films to check out! Believe me you’ve got some great films awaiting you 👍👍
Wow a huge thanks for doing that Mark. Like I said I'm relatively new to all of this so I wouldn't really know too much out there so this should help me
Beautiful set Keith. Never had any problems with Zavvi apart from the arrow 4K of Robin Hood prince of thieves collectors edition . It never turned up. So I gave them a bad review on Trust pilot and about 2 hours later I got a full refund 😎
Hey Shaun. It feels constant with myself. They either come damaged or they don't come at all and to be honest I'm sick of complaining to them. It seems to go on deaf ears. Thankfully I have one more pre-order with them and after that I will no longer be doing any business with them. A huge thank you for stopping by my friend
@FUKAOKEVERSE I have never seen a company quite like them. It's almost like they're not interested in improving themselves regardless of how many complaints they get which is quite a lot
You've had your fair share of bad luck with Zavvi Keith. If it's true that EverythingBlu is going back to releasing under their own brand, then I can't wait to get my hands on one of their upcoming editions. Fingers crossed that your edition of Leon finds it way home.
Hey Sebastian. Yes everythingblu themselves contacted me to let me know that they left zavvi and I was ecstatic to hear it. They should have never have joined them in the first place. Still no luck picking up my own edition of The Fifth Element and as you said fingers crossed on Leon. That is shaping up to be a fantastic release. All the best
Hi Keith, that does look amazing it's no surprise you've OUTED Zavvi for their dreadful way of doing business. I've got a German 4k disc, and I've still to watch it....😂 I'll get around to it soon
Hey James. I really need to stop doing business with them because it always ends in heartbreak and here is another example of it. You really need to check out the movie my friend it is absolutely insane but I think you're going to love it
@millerman9991 For me, it's Bessons best movie, closely followed by Leon,l actually had Leon on Laserdisc. The movie had another title for other countries, maybe in the States? Ah, I got it. "The Professional"
The edition of Fifth Element that I shown in this video is done by a company called everythingblu and their next release is Leon which should have been out this weekend but it's been delayed to October. I am such a fan of that movie
My only gripe with Zavvi is that they stopped shipping to Portugal. They only ship within the UK. Such a bummer.
PS: I preordered that FE edition and got it. No issues at all.
To be honest I'm taking it as a blessing in disguise because I've had nothing but Trouble with zavvi. Great to hear that you managed to pick up one yourself without any issue. It's a beautiful release
I ordered the new Terminator 2 Judgment day 4k statue box set from Zavvi. A week went by and it just said courier waiting for it. I contacted Zavvi and like you they got back in a hour saying lost in transit. They asked if i wanted replacement or refund, i asked them to send a replacement. They sent the replacement and 3 days later sent the missing one. I've had no reply yet when they want it returning.
I know exactly what I would do in that situation. Keep my mouth closed and wait and see what happens. That's not the first time I've heard Zavvi doing something like that. That could really work out for you. I wouldn't say no to having two of those beautiful statue editions of Terminator 2. I actually have one in my room
Beautiful package. Those age ratings all over the packages is unfortunate. I'm glad we only have a small rating mark on the back in north America.
I need to check those ratings and see if there stickers or not. Fingers crossed they are
I may be wrong but as you said on the bottom of the large box it says limited to 1000 ( got number 0567) but on the inner box it says limited to 2000 looks like they increased the number they were making.
Hey Steve. I probably should have explained it in the video but the big box itself is limited to 1,000 copies but they made 2000 copies of the smaller edition inside. That's why it says 2000 on that box but it still matched up
Hi Keith, I have to say you made me scoff at the Zavvi story and I was in the same boat and I know all too well the issues they possess. However you have made me laugh with your reaction! 😂 I have never heard you go in so hard on anyone or anything before. Note to self... Don't cross Keith! 😋
Although Keith what I'm also messaging you for is I have a collectors set of this edition sealed and new that I did plan to auction off on ebay. However having heard your story I would be willing to let it go at retail value to yourself. I wish I was in a better financial position to just send you it 😅. I understand if your heart is set on the deluxe edition but for all the fabulous content you create I thought I'd offer this up to you before I list it Keith.
Again I'm sorry if this comes across like im trying to sell you something however I'm sure your savvy (not Zavvi 😬😅) enough to realise I'd get more for it through auction than retail value. 😊
Anyway all the best Keith and thanks again for your great content! 💚
I don't normally get angry when it comes to my videos but whatever it is with zavvi they bring out the worst in me. You think I would learn.
A huge apology my friend but I'm a little confused by your message are you selling the same edition that I'm showing in this video or is it the other one that's inside the big box. Either way I really appreciate the incredibly kind offer and if it is the deluxe release I will absolutely take it off your hands. If you can confirm it to me that would be great
@@millerman9991 Sadly I only have the little brother version I.e. The Collector's Edition Keith. I wish I had a spare Deluxe to offer you my friend but unfortunately not! Sorry about that and I hope you find a Deluxe at a reasonable price! I'll leave the offer open though for a few days at the very least still Keith, in case you want to take me up on it 👍🏻
@veganreal1376 a huge thank you for getting back to me. Yeah I have my heart set out for the deluxe release but thank you for the incredibly kind offer. I really do appreciate it
@@millerman9991 You're welcome 😊 Good luck with your search! There's a fair few listed currently on auction so fingers crossed for you.
I have already failed three times but hopefully my time will come soon.
Nice
Thanks for checking it out
Hello Keith that sucks that you couldn't get this special edition for yourself I've dealt with zavvi many times they have the worst customer support ever they just care about their profits not there customers.
You think I would learn James. I am absolutely gluting for punishment. I have one more edition pre-ordered from them and hopefully it will be the last time I will ever deal with them. They are a joke of a company. Thank you though for stopping by my friend
I've actually had some luck with Zavvi where they claimed my order was lost during shipping and refunded the money, only for it to arrive a few weeks later!
A few people have told me that has happened to them. As a matter of fact somebody told me it happened to them with that Fifth Element release. Unfortunately I wasn't that lucky
What a load of bollocks with that "item lost in the post" its well dodgy. I thought for a second you had it arrive and did an instant video but was sound of him to send you it for unboxing. The colour scheme is so nice and it sticks out so much amongst other sets. I really hope you can get it somehow and not from some chancer like that German fella. Fingers crossed no issues with Leon, red and black i know you'll love that.
Apparently this has happened to a few people. Getting instant replies to their emails and refunded just as quickly. I know for an absolute fact that they took on too many pre-orders and instead of coming out and admitting their mistake they cooked up some ridiculous story about parcels being lost. As you know Steve I have one more pre-order with them and hopefully after that it will be last time I will ever deal with them again. A huge thanks for stopping by
@millerman9991 Do you know if this only happened with the bigger deluxe edition Keith? From what you've been hearing.
All the comments that I got was to do with the deluxe release for some strange reason. Oh by the way Steve I was just notified that the Leon edition has been delayed until October. No surprise there
@@millerman9991 I did just see that by checking the site a few days ago, I was hoping that wouldn't happen as October will be crazy already.
Im very Lucky they respond to my emails and have been helpful. This item the tracking says delivered and want me to fell in a form to say if haven't received. . Part from this they been real good . I see if it has been delivered to nans neighbour soon .
Im also waiting for the steelbook alone i ordered . it yet to be dispatched. Wish could message u mate wanted to ask something regarding yours going missing . I had nmny problem's wirh other stores thou . Fifth element with the artwork inside this one is being released to on Amazon . I also ordered leon on zavvi to
I'm sure everything will be okay with your edition. I have the Leon release pre-ordered as well but I honestly don't know what's going to happen with that when it comes around in October. The good news that has come out from all of this is everythingblu has left zavvi so at least I won't have to worry about any of this again. If you go into my description you will see my Instagram account in there if you want to look me up.
@@millerman9991 cool mate will do . I don't go on there really but will check it out . Leon when I ordered it when my mate John was in hospital dying. I was with him . I thought I missed out on the steel but looking online zavvi had wrong info saying was out of stock when hadn't even came in . I shouldn't of cared about the steel me mate was dying . I thought he wd wake but it was clear when our other mate tony called he was not gonna live . Me and John had a lot of history he was a old man . Crazy his gone . Did u get collectors edition of Leon I near bought but another £100 .
@delboy-su3wf isn't it shocking that you have to do that because you don't know what way they will come
@@millerman9991 I want to know when the fifth element steelbook will be dispatched as only collector editions have been
@delboy-su3wf do not understand why they hasn't been dispatched yet. I would be somewhat worried.
Just looking on eBay, there is one buy it now sealed for £99.99 not sure what the retail price was?
I will go on and check it out because the retail price for this release is 100 pounds. But there is also another release that you can buy and it's the same one inside the big box and maybe that's what you are seeing
just pre hannibal 4k steelbook 1500 copys only
Yeah I got it myself
Is this from studio canal ?
The 4K transfer is studio canal but the edition is from a company called everythingblu
@@millerman9991 Thank you for letting me know. Nowadays you have a lot of people who don't answer. Not a fan of Studio Canal. Certainly not in 4K.
I make it my mission to reply to every comment. It's the least I can do. I have to admit studio canal got it right with this 4K transfer. It's a stunner
Sorry you had the seller pulling a fast one over payment as they can't do that if the winning bidder drops out you are only meant to pay what you yourself bid for it as the winning bid becomes null and void
I actually tried explaining to the seller that I had the winning bid and it was well under the 200 euro but he was having none of it. As a matter of fact he got very angry and started calling me names for some strange reason
@@millerman9991wow, that’s awful, there’s some really twisted people on EBay, I’ve bought a drill once, he sent it to me, then a month later, he messaged me, said he’d been kicked off eBay, and asked me to send him another $70 because eBay wouldn’t release his money. Since I already paid I said, “no thank you, I already paid the money” anyways. Weird
I really hope you get that release. It looks fantastic.
Some of the things people would try on eBay. I try not to buy that much of eBay because you honestly do not know what you are going to get. On the rare occasion you do find a seller that you can trust but it doesn't happen that often. The person I dealt with tonight on the other hand was an real piece of work.
I do own the Blu-ray but IV not seen it for ages tbh mate I do sci fi 👍💿 IV uploaded a new video my top 8 favourite musicals 🎶🎼👌👌😊
I am a huge fan of musicals Stuart and I promise you I will get over and check out your top eight. I have a good idea what's going to be in it
@@millerman9991 cheers Keith 👍
I've been looking on Ebay for this and prices range from reasonable (75 USD) to disgusting (upwards of 300 USD). I've seen a few that don't have that collage of grey (aliens are those?) along the bottom of the slipbox - what are the differences between the boxes with and without that collage? Essentially I'm looking for an edition that has leeloo on the inside cover in that martial arts pose. Don't really need the tat but that patch and credit card thingy do look cool.
I'm presuming the 75 dollar version you are seeing is the edition inside the big boxset because you definitely wouldn't get the big one for that price now. That's probably the $300 version you're looking at. If you're looking for the edition with Lee Lou inside doing the martial arts pose then you need to buy the deluxe release which is going for crazy money. You can't get it any other way unfortunately
Well after seeing this breakdown, I myself broke down and won an auction for $221.68. Probably paid an extra $80 for it.
To be honest Michael that's exactly what I'm expecting to pay as well whenever I get around to getting it. Congratulations and get one by the way. It's a phenomenal release
A very nice set there but definitely not worth €200. A steelebook release that was due to be released on the 31 st August from Zavvi was delayed by about ten days. I had a few apology emails from them and it was stated that they are changing to a much larger warehouse and that was the reason for the delay.
Hey Stephen. There is no way in the world I will ever spend 200 euro on this edition as much as I do love it. I think my comfort zone is 160 euro and if I can't get it for that then I will never own it. I only just found out my other pre-order from zavvi the Leon release has been delayed until October. I have never witnessed a company like zavvi to get their release dates wrong so many times.
Another Amazing Box set. I didn't notice something very weird. On the Multipass were it has leeloo Dallas's Sex there's an M instead of an F. I have a replica of it and mine has the F like in the film. It also has the wrong weight it should be 130 lbs not 152 lbs. Every thing else is correct except for the sex and weight. I wonder why Zavi did that? But yeah that's kinda weird.
Wow fair play to you for noticing that. That was the first time I seen that multipass and I thought nothing of it if I'm completely honest. My god it's still very impressive though. I thought that was going to be some hard plastic but never in a million years did I think it would be metal. Very well made it's just a shame they didn't get some of the information correct on it. A huge thank you for letting me know about that
@@millerman9991 That box set is Awesome regardless. And it's a great film. I just thought that was odd for them too change the sex on the card. Just Figured I would let you know. Your the only collector I watch from a different country than mine.. You guys get very Awesome sets on your side of the Ocean. Here in the states it's all bare bones stuff. With the exception of Scream Factory , Arrow ,Vinegar Syndrom the basics lol. And as you know they put out very basic sets lol. So I always love watching your reviews because the sets you pick up really do the films justice. I honestly think you have one of the nicest collections on CZcams. I collect my self but I stick to mostly bare bones sets and some steel books. Its super expensive to import for me. But I'm just happy having the films. But yeah like I said always happy to see your videos I really like seeing These great films getting Justice with a great boxset especially when it comes to Horror. Hope you stayed cool this summer and thanks again for the great review videos.
@Brucewayne6179 it's funny when it comes to deluxe releases I always get jealous of what use have over in the States. Shout factory and vinegar syndrome in particular I get so unbelievably jealous about because it cost a fortune to import those releases over here. Actually now that I think of Kino lorber is another phenomenal label who have brought out some amazing releases. I went on to amazon.com and I put in five movies that I would love to have from shout factory and it worked out at nearly 200 euro. There's no way I could ever spend that money. So I'm right there with you. A huge thank you by the way for the incredibly kind words. It's always great to read comments like this and I can't stress how much I appreciate it.
That looks great - like a Vinegar Syndrome release. Zavii suck ass - Im glad they dont ship here anymore - every figure I order gets cancelled. I have the standard 4k and I want this so much
I'm actually treating the fact that they don't ship worldwide anymore as a blessing in disguise. I have had nothing but heartbreak when it comes to Zavvi. Thank god it's over
I ordered kong vs godzilla 4k steel from them twice and both times it never shipped. The store claimed it was In stock. Over a monthes time passed and never shipped. Cancelled order. Tried again. Same results. I agree they suck.
I have never witnessed a company quite like them. No matter how many complaints they seem to get they never want to improve themselves. It all falls on deaf ears and thank god I don't have to deal with them for much longer.
I ordered just the steelbook in November for this and still not arrived . I complained and they gave me £20 and still waiting for the steelbook - terrible service
I hope you manage to get that steelbook because it would be such a score. There a joke of a company. For some strange reason there are unwilling to improve themselves regardless of how many complaints are made against them
Did you manage to snag the one I left in the comments mate ? I was only went for the CE not the Deluxe and thankfully it worked out okay, Shabbi should be ashamed, it’s been like this since I stopped making YT videos, I am on HDN and I think it may have been your comment or someone who had the exact same issue with the ‘instant’ refund..
I have no doubt you’ll get one but this was one of the biggest f-ups going by them..
Love, Purpose n Peace MCD
Hey Dave. Unfortunately I didn't see any comments that you left when it comes to this release. If you try to leave a link CZcams sometimes removes it. Yeah I was very frustrated when it comes to this release especially now after seeing it it makes me want it even more. Apparently I'm not the only person who got that instant refund. A few people have told me the same thing has happened and you do wonder what the hell is going on. Maybe zavvi are encouraging the scalpers
@@millerman9991i just replied twice let me know if you got them if not drop me your email if it’s not a personal one, ✌🏼

Nasty looking scrap on your right thumb Keith 😮😮
You can tell I was putting up new shelves Ken 😆 🤣
@@millerman9991, yes lol 😂 😂 They look amazing Keith, so does the Fifth Element set, I may have to double dip
Thank you so much Ken for stopping by. I really appreciate all your support my friend
@@millerman9991 my pleasure Keith, love your channel
Very kind of u to say Ken
A bizarre film this one
No question about it Mark it's very bizarre but it's what I love about it
@@millerman9991by the way have you seen they are bringing out a new steelbook boxset of the new Halloween trilogy
Yeah I have seen it and I am incredibly tempted. You know yourself Mark it's going to have to be at the right price. I will see when it gets closer to the release date
I’ve just gone through a month long wait with arrow video to try and get a replacement disk for Donnie darko, waited a month for them to basically call me liar and say nothings wrong with the disk and they wouldn’t do nothing…messaged zavvi(the company that now owns arrow), refunded me within the hour even though I only wanted a new disk…terrible customer service.
My god the thoughts of actually contacting zavvi breaks my heart. I'm so sorry to hear that you had to go through all that messing just so you can simply get a replacement disc. I will never fully understand any of this if I'm completely honest and zavvi don't even try to improve their situation. They seemed to be getting worse and worse as Time Goes By. I have one more item pre-ordered from them and then after that I will no longer have to worry about them because they will not ship worldwide anymore and maybe it's a blessing in disguise
@millerman9991 I had to literally threaten them with going to my credit card company, I think the only reason they refunded me was because the film was apart of a larger order and they stood to loose more than just what I paid for the 1 film...I think once my red carpet subscription runs out in November I'm done with them...I'm currently really liking going out to stores and buying films in person.
I would do anything to have the luxury of going out and buying movies physically but unfortunately over here in Ireland it's nonexistent. I miss it so much and at least you know what you are buying and that's what I missed the most.
@@millerman9991 to be fair there’s only hmv left here, maybe a few supermarkets…the days of Woolworths, our price, fopp, virgin megastore etc are well and truly gone…
HMV reopened over here in Ireland but they don't sell any physical media only vinyl and some merchandise. I was hugely disappointed
Good Ol' Zavvi. A refund doesn't even begin to make up for it. Now you have to pay Way more, maybe double to get it off ebay.
I got mine and immediately closed my account with Zavvi. I will NOT do business with them anymore.
I saw in another video someone make a comment that EverythingBLU has left Zavvi? I asked where they saw that and did not get a reply. I also asked EverythingBlu on one of their videos, also no reply. So I don't know. If they did, great. If not, looks like I won't be getting anymore of their stuff.
F Zavvi. By the way. If you want to close your account, you have to message them asking how to do it as there is NO option to do so. They closed it. So we have to ask to have to have it done. Ugh. Good riddance.
Interesting you mention Bruce Willis looking a bit off. Agree and thought it was just me. I actually think Leelu looks a bit off as well.
No the last thing I wanted in the world was a refund because as you said it is going to cost me more now to get it. It doesn't mean that I'm going to spend over the odds either. I will be patient and wait for the right moment and I'm sure it will happen for me.
Yes I heard about everythingblu leaving zavvi and that is music to my ears. It will be great to be able to buy directly from that company again. They should have never went near them in the first place.
I just checked out that box set again and I have to agree with you there is something a little off when it comes to Leelu aswell. Of course it's still looks amazing particularly the back artwork which looks phenomenal.
Great to hear that you were able to get yours without any issues
I feel u pain Zavi is a disaster & disgrace of a company.
I couldn't agree more with you Pete. You think I would learn
God Zavvi are utterly rubbish they managed to lose my order of their exclusive Dredd Blu-Ray steelbook a while ago ever since then I've always avoided them if possible and gone for alternatives like Amazon.
Like edition mind that multipass is a thing of beauty.
Yep haven't ordered anything from them since the Halloween Ends Steelbook I wanted the alternative one to the orange one and only Zavvi had it as an exclusive but yeah my Indiana Jones Steelbook set the case that holds the Steelbooks is a mess dinged all over the place and another Steelbook I got from them was bent out of Shape so yeah I don't order from them anymore
@@markpugh6808 Yep they can't pack anything for delivery either 😡👎
Hey Alex. At least you had the common sense to walk away from them. Thankfully with myself I have one more pre-order with them which they have to honor and after that I should be done with them because they don't ship worldwide anymore. To be honest I think it's a blessing in disguise
Zavvi are shite ,i waited weeks for a box set ,and said not even processed ,so i got a refund didn't wait lone as i told them I'd report them,so I don't use them now
Hey Graham. I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through all of that s**** with Zavvi and hopefully after I get my Leon edition assuming everything goes well I won't have to deal with them myself again. A huge thanks for stopping by
Zavvi are awful. I stopped using them so long ago I've forgotten what it was that broke the camels back for me. Terrible & volatile service.
I have one more item pre-ordered with them and after that I'm going to call it a day. You had the common sense to stop using them and it's about time I stop as well
@@millerman9991 yup, no companies perfect and things can go wrong, but when it does go wrong, you'll find out what they're really like. Don't want to jinx your order, but fingers crossed it'll all be fine 🤞
I'm hoping everything will be okay but unfortunately we are talking about zavvi so you just don't know
I'm not a massive fan of this movie but I kinda regret not preordering this set. I also missed out on the Rambo Deluxe edition. I do have the Leon Deluxe Edition on preorder though.
I think the fact that I have the Rambo edition makes this even worse to miss out on. I do have the Leon edition pre-ordered but I honestly don't know what's going to happen. Fingers crossed both of us will get them with no issues
Wow what a release. And such a pain to deal with them. I remember you complaining about them a couple times before. 🫣
Yeah it's not the first time I've complained when it comes to zavvi. To be honest Glen I'm the bigger idiot for dealing with them. Thanks for stopping by my friend
