On Marvel Day naturally hoping for, and expecting, IRON MAN and CAPTAIN AMERICA - @GBP 23.74 each maximum though.
C'mon, Zavvi, be a good sport :)

Baby name "Zavvi":-
* Character and personality traits - ambition, organisation, practicality, successful, selfish and materialistic.
* Colours - black and purple.
* Qualities - born leader and visionary.
* Ruling planet - Saturn - which just so happens to be the root of the English word "Saturday" on which day coincidentally 99% of Zavvi's pre-orders go 'live'.
According to the Urban Dictionary a "zavvi" is a person who has not had sex yet (as in Virgin).
EDIT: As Uranus is the father of Saturn you do have a point, maybe without even realising it, and the fact you pronounce it like that because it is large and gassy . . . is OK too though the more acceptable pronunciation is "Ouranus".
EDIT: No eye-dear . . .which reminds me of the old joke "A man kills a deer and takes it home to cook for dinner. Both he and his wife decide that they won't tell the children what kind of meat it is, but will give them a clue and let them guess. The children were anxious to know what meat was on their plates, so they begged their dad for a clue. "Well" he said to them "it's what mummy calls me sometimes." The little girl in distress screams to her brother "Don't eat it, it's an asshole."

Pre - orderded both Thor's for now, although for £50ish, it would be nice to know the exact details of what I'm buying, finish, quality of the lenti etc...
Hoping for good things particularly with this one which looks great from what I can make out and should be 'better' / more interesting than the previous Zavvi release from last year.
Personally not too bothered about knowing artwork etc. before release because in the majority of cases it's almost exactly the same as the mock-up and if completely different it's not necessarily bad different as in "Maleficent" or "Inside Out".
I'm guessing, based on the colouring alone, that this one will be vibrant as in "Life of Pi' and superior to "Thor" which could be on the dull side as in "Avengers Assemble".

There is no print run information for any Steelbook of this lenticular wave so I am wondering how limited they are. I guess I will wait for a price drop as I doubt they will sell out quick. The fact that I have to pay for additional VAT makes it too expensive even I would love to have the complete set
A re-seller of this steelbook has "Limited to 2,000" in the listing though I can't see that info on the retailer's website . . .
Then again the same tricksy seller has this down as "Out of print and out of stock" which it clearly ain't . . . yet.

EDIT 17/11: Wow, seems that seller has a crystal ball or some other future-reading device . . . LOL.

Anyone know the print run for this ?
If 2,000 they must have sold half of that number in a couple of days which isn't bad going . . .
