The Mummy's Shroud - £11.45

Thanks for the spot. Although The Mummy's Shroud has already been shipped, I'm trying to cancel the other two and reorder them at the lower price.

To be honest, it seems like a bit of a cheap trick by Zavvi, exploiting those who preordered the titles and I wish they had a pre-order price guarantee like Amazon.

Are you sure you don't mean Curse of Frankenstein shipped? Mummy's Shroud isn't out until the 22nd. I've had mine on order at HMV which are usually a lot faster than Zavvi and no sign of anything shipping there.

How come your Mummy's Shroud has shipped, it's not due until the 22nd, did you mean Curse of Frankenstein?

According to their website, they do have a pre-order price guarantee but I decided to cancel and re-order anyway

I mixed up the two titles, so yes – The Curse of Frankenstein has been shipped, not The Mummy's Shroud.

They seem a fair bit cheaper than current pre-order prices (although these prices include the burden of Zavvi's despatch speeds:P), but they're not titles I've been tracking, so perhaps there have been better pre-order deals for them? I think there are a few sites which give you a 10% off code if you click through and buy something (I found a link on twitter last week and it worked, but can't remember the link; it's worth investigating). Some of the older Hammer releases are there too.

Fantastic spot, they are all about 3 quid cheaper than the ones I had on pre-order from HMV so that great

Hmmm ok I'm gonna check my banks balance and maybe get onto this bought The Reptile last night from Zavvi for £9 with a 10% off code . . .

Some good stuff in the Zavvi Mega Monday this week. I ordered -

Del Toro Box Set - Special Edition Collection Blu-ray | Zavvi.com

The Thing (1982) / The Thing (2011) Blu-ray | Zavvi.com

Awesome price for the Del Toro set, especially with the 10% off code.

However, some of the estimated delivery times are utterly insane and not what the site suggested at all. Bought some Studio Ghibli for my wife's Christmas and one of them is estimated at the 12th of December

Some good discounts on the BFI's Kurosawa boxsets as well over at Zavvi (but they're DVD only)...

Where is this elusive 10% code everyone speaks of?

My girlfriend received a personalised one the other day which I tried to use on these 3 new Hammers but it didn;t work, I don;t think it liked the pre-order thing.
