Cheers Rik.

They'll probably end up cancelling the order at that price, but worth a try anyway!

I saw it on a Hammer blu ray group on Facebook, but it was for the US Zavvi, so I preordered it from them, then noticed it was the same on the UK site too, so I’ve preordered from there too. Like you say, it’ll probably get cancelled though

Both US and UK Zavvi’s have cancelled my orders saying it was a pricing error, thought as much

They always seem to cancel errors unlike Amazon where it's 50/50, shame would of been a hell of a bargain!
