Of course, the simple answer for all those who bought this steel and who feel let down (LOL) by the finish (LOL) - nothing wrong with the finish for anyone sitting on the fence BTW - then return them so that they can be sold to collectors who appreciate a top class U.K. steel.

P.S. Speaking about "cage" and "rattle" - best place for certain people.
"Limit your collection" - more BS . . . not wishing to be more rude than necessary here . . . and anyone with even the faintest knowledge of U.K. steels - check out Posts #56, 58 and 60 in the new BOURNE thread - will know of the wonderfully varied and artistic selection of U.K. steelbooks produced since 2008 to the present day.

Does anyone know to whom at Zavvi I need send a photo of my collection of 30+ Zavvi Steelbooks before I can spend my money and put an order in?
 
@Flash and @Flloydo Both of you behave and stop derailing the thread... now go to your rooms! :mad: :D

Let get back to the 'Civil War' Steelbook and/or topic of the film :thumbs:

She started it :rofl:

Hey guys. feel free to use the "block member" feature if you absolutely do not wish to see posts by certain members or continue to get into negative/combative interactions. But please refrain from personal attacks or profanity. Thanks.

Well I never actually made a personal attack or profanity toward someone just mentioned what I notice.

I noticed my last message on the last page was editied by a mod but I cant work out what was changed, feel free too pm me

Edit: spotted it, I noticed one word was changed lol

Interesting how a lot swear on here and blank out a letter and get away with it and I say "I don't give a f*** who likes it" and it gets changed

Very odd

My message was geared towards everyone:) We've gotten a bit derailed here, and though most people may not mean to escalate members, it happens regardless. So, my request remains to have folks take a minute and think about how words affect others-it's nothing personal, just a general reminder to us all of community guidelines to keep things friendly and in perspective. Thanks all.
 
HMV Cap steelbook is a million times better than this. You only have to unseal the HMV version to appreciate it's sheer quality. Hilarious when people compare quality of sealed steelbooks with no true knowledge of the finish.

I really love and have the original HMV CA and Thor steelbooks and just beautiful but I do like this nice design and like the finish.

I wonder though if more characters should have been in the artwork?
 
... now go to your rooms

She started it :rofl:

I mostly certainly didn't start it

You guys:joy:

Does anyone think the steelbook should have had more characters on it?

I think there should have been more characters on the spine;)

This steelbook isn't the best quality wise and I feel it could have done with the whole thing being full gloss.. plus the bottom right hand corner is way too dark.. but it's not a bad(or the worst) steelbook, for £22.49 (what I paid using the code)getting a steelbook, new release movie, 3D and 2D BD's, I am happy with it.. wish I could say the same for the film itself, Just watched it for the second time (I wasn't impressed the first time round but wanted to see it again to see if I liked it more, I actually liked it less).. I might even go as far as to say I hate it.. maybe it'll be 3rd time lucky, as I so wanted to like this movie

Pics of my second copy - the unsealed one - to follow and, no, it's certainly no better than the new one (if we can just put aside for a minute its iconic status among U.K. steelbooks :banghead: ).
My comparison comments to follow too.:-

CAP AMERICA ........................................compared to........................................... CA: CIVIL WAR:-
Embossed full title and nothing else .......................................debossed artwork (fault line/crack/divide) :thumbs:
2 discs (1xBD, 1xDVD)................................................................................2 discs (1x3D BD, 1x2D BD) :thumbs:
J-card stuck to back of steel with two blobs of glue...............................................................slip-in j-card :thumbs:
Lower part of back artwork quite dark background......................................................... superior artwork :thumbs:
Inside artwork OK ............................................................................................................superior artwork :thumbs:
20 quid (if I remember correctly without checking my accounts) ......................................just over 22 quid =
Basic title ...........................................................................................................................full picture spine =
Digital copy :thumbs:....................................................................................................................................no
No 3D disc even though available in the German SB.....................................................................3D disc :thumbs:
Captain America SteelBook (exklusiv bei Amazon.de) [3D Blu-ray]


HMV exclusive .................................................................................................................. Zavvi exclusive =
Removable BBFC stickers ...................................................................................................................N/A =
Silver discs :thumbs: ..............................................................................................................................blue discs

Conclusion:
- Colours certainly brighter on the original CA but it's not because of a gloss finish and only looks brighter because of the more metallic colours used although the full title is glossed.
- CA: CW has more muted colours (some have called it de-saturated) but IMO the colours perfectly match the muted colours on the Iron Man half and so blend well with eachother.
In truth a fan of both and if my study caught fire tomorrow and I had to take either the HMV or the Zavvi I'd take the HMV because it would be a darn site harder to replace than the Zavvi something like five years after it was released.

if you hated it more on the second watch then it's never going to get better for you!
I was the same with the first cap film, Hated it, but after about 5 years I watched it again and I love it now, watched it a couple of times since then[/QUOTE]



I was the same with cap 1, I watched it about 3 times before I loved it, same with the first avengers film (about 3 times) same with iron man, so I'm thinking.. theres a pattern there:rofl: seems like the 3rd times the charm for me, I've definitely not given up on civil war, I'll watch it in 3D next, when I watch 3D I pay much more attention to what going on, I get far more immersed in the story and not messing around on my phone like I usually do. I think what stands out for me in this film was that it was too serious and more real world problems(is rather aliens come flying through a portal), I like the avengers cos they wind each other up and there's some funny banter going on, I usually laugh a lot when I watch avengers and iron man films but this one was a bit darker, much more serious and I guess I just missed the laughs, also.. I missed Nick Fury:drool:

I didn't realise it got deleted, the page was making me laugh after you both got told to go to your rooms, I get your humour ;):thumbs:

Thank you, i get my humour too ;)

Oh well I take back what I said, looks like your a 3 date girl..... Which is good news for some :LOL:

Especially When things get really 3D! Or is that 4D? (Sorry)

I haven't seen it in 3D yet and I'm similar, I'm on my phone at times (usually on here actually) esiecially if the film isn't grabbing my attention.
Ha looking at your phone with 3D glasses on is like the final stages of shrooms... Not good

I actually found it quite funny. Epscially spidey scenes and antman (they stole the show for me anyway and prob biased against them both because they are my favs - well antman recently but always spidey)
