Too late now amazon have debited my card and dispatched
It was not listed in stock when I last checked HMV website the other day
I might get lucky with amazon tomorrow listing back in stock at cheaper price and the pre order price promise be applied if not so be it
I received my WWA today (non-magnet) so cannot wait to have this too. Then the FAC set alongside my Kimchi. Spidey galore!
I like how different this is. Displayed together it's quite a diverse set.

Judging from these various pics can't disagree with you there . . . "diverse" is exactly le mot juste
I don't get the love for this steel. People were slating the Iron Man 3 steel for being boring and unoriginal and this is not really any better.
If you like it, fair enough, Not trying to stir anything. I just can't get my head around the love for this.

General consensus is that:-
a) 99% of collectors prefer a title on the spine
b) Majority prefer a title on the front
a) Majority prefer full gloss steelbooks . . . or at least spot gloss on the artwork
b) Majority prefer original poster art - preferably on the front - depicting the characters from the film . . . in action pose if action film.
Some people still get a shock when the artwork is:-
a) Illustrated for a non-animated films
- a vote for regular (poster) art vs. Illustrated Art on another forum reinforces this view with 424 votes (87%) expressing a preference for regular art against 63 votes (13%) not fussed by Illustrated Art (out of 487 votes counted).
I suspect that similar results would be seen on HDN or on any other steelbook forum.
b) Project Pop Art/Iconic Art/Gallery 1988 or anything different to what they were expecting.
Personally speaking, don't mind what they put on the outside of the steelbook as long as it's artwork of some kind and I find many of the Project Pop Art etc. steelbooks to be very pleasing to the eye (from DESPERADO to GHOSTBUSTERS, from THE FIFTH ELEMENT to BOYZ 'N' THE HOOD, from the MONDO RESERVOIR DOGS to the MONDO T2 variant etc.).
Also appreciate the fact that specially commissioned artwork for the steelbook is available and that sometimes famous graphic novel illustrators and poster artists may be involved in said artwork . . . thus making the steelbook into a canvas for diverse artworks not to be found on other home video releases.
In conclusion: if people insist on original poster art they won't go far wrong if they buy the Amaray releases of the films in question as those will most likely have exactly what they are looking for in the way of front art . . . or, if they are flush, the premium releases will never let them down with anything too shocking or imaginative . . .

Mine arrived from Zoom today. Now I've gotta make the decision wether to keep it or send it back and get the HMV... I really don't know.
Arrived today from Zoom..
Looks a very nice release (though I do like the one with the Vulture in the back behind Spidey too). Zoom living up to their name getting that to you on Saturday when Zavvi can't even manage to get it here on release date.
got mine today, one of the corners was bashed. not 100% keen on the steelbook, dunno why...maybe because it wont fit on my shelf without removing the magnet
So glad I didn't get this one, it's aweful! Definitely the worst looking steelbook release for this film and the magnet makes it look even worse 
Just watched Spiderman homecoming in 3D absolutely awesome would highly recommend you watch it in that format no spoilers
As mine arrived damaged, returning it to Zavvi for a refund and buying the HMV exclusive cover instead as it looks a lot better imo
Oh crap not good m8 hopefully they have some more in stock for cases like this I'm really sorry to hear that I feel for you dude
EVERY steelbook cover would be improved by having Black Widows cleavage on the front...
