By your own admission, you're still going to buy it.

Disney have your money, what complaint do they need to listen to? 'I hate the design, here, take my £25'. There is no point complaining, Disney will do what they want. They're far bigger than any retailer. Disney US is a different company to all intents and purposes, they're only supplying a product for the English speaking US, not one that needs to cater for a multitude of languages in Europe. They can give the public what they want a lot easier. Besides, even GotG only had the title on the front, not the spine so they didn't exactly listen there either..
I think you're missing my point, of course I'm going to get it, I'm saying why not make something better? More money for supplier, manufacturer & retailer, and most of all a HAPPIER customer! Standard business sense really! If they had put a title on it I would of been prepared to pay that little bit more for quality.
If your budget allows you to buy either a BMW say without air conditioning or one with, which you want, what are you going to get? It's about quality at the end of the day, and that's all I'm saying.

I'd wait for official confirmation from Zavvi regarding the artwork before making any rash decisions and cancelling orders for this.

Personally I love it and the front is exactly what I'd hoped for! Obviously a title on the spine would have been preferred, but the faces have become the norm for most Marvel steels, so I'm used to them now.
 
Im going to keep this on preorder for now.
But if BestBuy gets a version with a title, i will probably go for that one instead. Only fear i have is that the US version will have a ****** finish, aka matte, while the UK one surely will be gloss. Then its going to be hard to make a choice.

I think it looks cool. Matches the first. I just hope it is glossy and embossed. Not sure why people are moaning about the spine, we knew it would be like that.
 
I quite like it too and like others have mentioned it will match the HMV version. I also hope it's glossy too. Good that we get an image of ultron on the back.
I'm also not a fan of the face images instead of a title on the spine but I can live with it and will match my HMV avengers, thor 2, winter soldier and GOTG (no faces)
 
Looks superb except ... no title on spine ... TBH not entirely surprised but hoped that due to the lenti avengers things might have changed. Oh well looks like I will be cancelling mine and will be looking out for one with title on the spine.
 
Gonna need a bigger spine for Infinity Wars ;)

Jumbo G1 confirmed for Infinity Wars

I actually hope for some nice gloss and embossing too because otherwise it's a bit bland. I'm really really glad it matches the first but this means I'll probably end up double dipping from an Asian retailer's second release again :thumbs:

Why not make it better? Because they already took your money when you purchased the steel sight unseen! :D

Oh I know, but the point is, make it better, make more cash!! CHING CHING! View attachment 176246

How can they make even more cash if the product sells out? :p
If you buy it, youre "happy" with it in their eyes. So why bother? They sell out anyhow, they cant make more money if theres nothing more to sell. Doesnt matter to them because were buying it anyway, it sells out, so whats the point?

Only carrot for them to actually change anything would be if we stopped buying, but clearly we wont. Even if some refuse, there going to be someone else that will. Either way, they get everything sold.
We can ***** and moan as much as we feel like, but its never gonna do any good if we keep pushing that "buy" button.

Atleast we get the villain on the back! Thats very positive in my eyes and a first.
Several of the other movies should have had that, especially The Winter Soldier.

Yeah I see what you are saying, but, would you buy let's say, the same spec iPhone for example year on year with nothing different about it( poor example I know [emoji12]) ? Probably not,you'll get fed up and look elsewhere and go with Samsung or something of that ilk. People get bored of things eventually and look at alternatives, product has to change and be retweeked to carry on making sales. In this case, iPhone is a good example, everybody wanted it year on year, got fed up with the same c**p and starting looking at Samsung, who now have taken a massive chunk of their business away.

You can say the same about Zavvi or whoever, as you look at FA & Blufans, a lot of collectors can't wait to see what's coming from them as they put their views & opinions over to the studios and come up with something better! Zavvi need to do the same if they want to justify that slogan, "Home Of Steelbookz" and get back that market share that they are starting to lose!

This is just a guess but I don’t think Zavvi is interested in dealing with all the logistics of creating original artwork and going back and forth with the studio to get approval. It seems they would rather purchase bare bones steelbooks in large quantities at cheap prices regardless of artwork or quality.
