I wouldn't risk it if I were you. If I was in this position I would just cancel down to three. I wouldn't risk HMV messing up and cancelling all my copies in a few weeks time when the steelbook is OOS.
 
I wondered if decide to this HMV edition or FS one and join one of the GB here :rolleyes: However, I decided to HMV edition, just pre :ordered: this one , have only hope that this release will be also embossed/debossed like FS one.

This is my firs order on HMV so can some can telling me how they pack their steelbooks, they use some cardboard boxes or maybe only bubble envelopes?
In my order I have only this one steelbook right now, so is there any importance of HMV quality packaging on the number of ordered items? If so, I'll throw something else to my order.

HMV's packaging is a strong cardboard box slightly bigger than the steelbook itself. There is no other bubble wrap or protection within the box so the steelbook will move around. I've never had a damaged steel from them, but other people have.

However, this misses the one feature that Disney has promised for the UK Blu-ray - a 90-minute documentary entitled Building a Dream: Assembling the Avengers. According to the Disney UK, this will include 'never before seen footage from Iron Man as well as fascinating insight from director Joss Whedon and producer Kevin Feige on how they began creating the Marvel Cinematic Universe for what has become on of the most anticipated and talked about movie events in the world'

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm wondering if this artwork (for the steelbook version) will be exclusive to HMV UK or will other countries get the same artwork (i.e., amazon.de)? I'm hoping for different releases ...

Heres what Im thinking. From the pics there is no titles anywhere on the Steelbook. All the other ones Ive seen with the "A" have "The Avengers" on top of the "A". Since this was "Avengers Assemble" and people didn't like that name it seems that they are making an effort to keep that off the steelbook at least.

So what you get is a totally clean steelbook, which I love. I am willing to bet that other steels that get the avengers "A" will have the title on it.
 
think i'll skip the UK steelbook and pick up the standard edition in the sale just for the documanetary and swap the discs out with the FS edition
 
Here is the thing, I have four copies on pre-order, two with the discount and two without (2 orders). I didn't get an email about it being limited to three nor has my account been adjusted. I don't know why, any others in this boat with me?

Pretty much same as you although I did get the email in my spam and I can't adjust mine as it doesnt let you cancel just 1 copy so I'm going to have to leave it and see :ohno:

This is myplan aswell and leave it. Youll never know the new order will have 3x copy and not the old order:D
 
I am not going to worry about a damn thing. I have pre orders in U.K., Germany, Italy. This will be my largest holdings of any steelbook title at one time in hand.

Italy?, isn't that identical to HMV one?
U forgot FS one although that one is Viva Metal Box :p

I am 100% confident its a worlwide release with same steelbook. I have never seen Italy sell anything other than a steelbook. I bet AUS ends up with a metalpack similar to CA and everyone else gets the steelbook.
