Avengers (4K Blu-ray SteelBook) (Best Buy Exclusive) [USA]

Totally understand you.A few people have asked over the last day or two.
I'm going to try and source some but there are no guarantees.
The problem with folks waiting to ask is that it puts a lot of pressure on me to source at the last minute, and then some people will
back out and not wait for me to source and then there are extra copies that I have to return.
Sorry a bit for the rant, but it takes a lot of effort and my time to get copies when I hear people are interested just before release day.
Would have been interested a lot earlier if BestBuy (or other retailers for that matter) would be better with their product descriptions like Zavvi is nowadays and give a preview of what one might be getting. The gloss finish w/ bossing makes this one a keeper. Appreciate your effort as always, Andy! 
Which never used to be the case in general, the US used to get the worse finishes back in the day, oh how the tides have changed.
Do you reckon Trump had something to do with it?!

Everything is fine. There should be no pressure. If there is GB fine, if not fine too
. The work you do and of course the other GB hosts is greatly appreciated. So, sorry for the easiest way to shoot a pm at you 
...
LOL....me too!Everything is fine. There should be no pressure. If there is GB fine, if not fine too
No pressure Andy.
From my side I can say I’m mostly interested in the BestBuy and Target releases. I don’t do Zavvi anymore. Way too expensive.
@apsmith21 : Would a pre-order button with upfront payment be an idea?
Only Infinity War does not have embossing. The 4K steelbooks do.
It's not a bad idea, the issue being that let's say I take 5 orders, and find 2 copies at my local store, then there's a problem.
Also Best Buy has an order limit - x copies per order. And if you do too many orders in a row, you hit their fraud protection - they automatically cancel that order, and any order that follows up to 48 hours after.
So it's in my best interest to know the copies ahead of time, plan my orders in advance to not hit the fraud protection and grab extras in case of damages.
Like with the A Quiet Place edition? I have ordered over 34 copies and I'm returning 14 that have spine slashes under the shrink wrap.
If you guys are paying retail, and then shipping, I want to make sure you get a good copy (or close to it) as I can get.
Otherwise, I could send them on as received but then no one would order because you aren't getting the product you expect for the price you are paying.
Most stores don't carry this type of inventory so there is no opportunity to inspect first hand, and to be frank I doubt they would let you walk out of the store with 20+ copies of something, even if they had it.
Best Buy is not really setup for this kind of purchasing - and to be honest when they see me coming with a box of returns there's often a game of "not it" that happens when I get to customer service.
Thanks for explaining. Did not know about all those limitations.It's not a bad idea, the issue being that let's say I take 5 orders, and find 2 copies at my local store, then there's a problem.

I think we should even more appreciate the work you do. And not to forget the other GB hosts as well!
I've secured 6 sets of Avengers & Avengers: Age of Ultron.
If there is more demand, I'll try and order more but this is it for today.
Strict limit of 1x per member (1 set)!

I'm going to try and swing by the store today, or more likely tomorrow, they've set my copies aside so we should be set.
Usually Best Buy will release them to be ordered online after the day they are out (or the week). However, I have no guarantee of that.
If they do I'll try and order more but these copies I just listed come from the store and they don't have any left after this order.
@apsmith21 Thanks!! Any chance to just get the first one, don't need the second one with its (apparently) heavy use of DNR?
Not with this round, you'll have to wait to see if I can order more when / if they come back in stock for website ordering.
No problem. Decided to get Ultron as well, steelbook looks ace so why not treat myself.
Thanks for the GB again!
