Pics to follow alongside the original HMV CA and the Zavvi IM.
Just in case people get the wrong impression:-
a) This is NOT a dull steelbook and has a distinctive sheen to it which can best be appreciated on one of those steelbook display stands - certainly a steelbook that just about anybody wouldn't be embarrassed to have in their collection.
Certainly not a dull matte finish in case anyone gets that impression
b) Colouring is muted on both halves of the front - again obviously a design decision to blend IM's mask in with the CA logo.
Personally speaking don't see how this could have been improved design-wise and anyone thinking this is only a good 'un in a full gloss finish then I still suggest they buy it, pop down to their local DIY, buy a can of spray varnish and give it a once, twice or thrice over.
Can't see any future lenticular release topping this one either.
Conclusion: This is one classy steelbook
It is a real shame that Blufans dropped the ball on their version, but moving forward we should all now focus on the positives.
Owning a Blufans copy does at least go some small way to allowing you to become one of their members. Let's all keep the positivity flowing...
Blufans DESTROYS this on every single level! Blufans is THE one to own. this is just crap In my opinion.
Love it when the same people crawl out of the woodwork with Blufans this and Blufans that
You'd think that there are no threads for Blufans steelbooks if U.K. threads have to be polluted at every turn by such comments .
Agreed it's the same so often and constantly in UK threads for steelbooks people say
"...oh but it's cheaper from Germany/Italy/Spain..."
"...this is rubbish get the Kimchi/Blufans/FA version..."
There are many threads for the many versions as you said I don't see why almost every time the UK threads are polluted with the same tedious remarks.
People just want to talk about this specific steelbook.

I was thinking there hasn't been many extended versions of these, why do you think that is with Marvel films? @virkia
Or it could just be that the artwork just divides opinionThere's one thing you learn on HDN....
Whenever you enter a thread and you interrupt a riot, one thing's for sure... you're looking at a hot Steelbook. The signs in this thread are loud and clear.
Or it could just be that the artwork just divides opinion
Not the Artwork, dude, it's the Finish that's dividing opinion
With a title such as "Civil War" it would be nice to have a "Civil" thread rather than a "War" thread but no matter that's obviously beyond the capabilities of some on here.
Anyway, as promised, here's a photo of this new CA: CW flanked by the original HMV CA on one side and the Zavvi IM 2 on the other (as examples of their similar finish and colouring):-

This is the uncomfortable truth.It was.£23 after discount making this the cheapest amongst all WWA Steelbook release of this film. Also this will be the best in terms of value for money as it can go for higher price in the secondary market like.many other UK Marvel Steels.
This is the uncomfortable truth.
Give it a year and it could double in price if not treble. Not so sure on other premium versions achieving the same ratio.
But quite rightly it's ultimately down to what you actually like.
