I don't always open my premiums, but I remember with the AoU Nova Choice lenti the book wasn't as big as the fullslip edition, because it's put inside the steelbook itself instead of outside it in the fullslip, so I'd assume it'd might be the same for this.

OK that could very well be the case then. This is my first premium edition purchase and I just can't get myself to open them. I know that would answer my question but... I just can't do it.

I feel ya. I've opened a few of my Novas and a couple of my Kimchis (not that I have a ton of either maybe 10 in total for both of them), but I haven't opened any of my Blufans yet. I only have 6 of them - CA:TFA, CA:TWS, and the CA:CW one-click, and the insides look amazing from the pictures, but I just can't being myself to open them. Maybe one day... Although if I did open a CW copy it'd be the Team Cap version, because I've been thinking about selling/trading the rest of them since I only really want the Cap edition.

It's also why I got the lenti and the A2, I'll keep the lenti sealed and open the A2. Although I still haven't done it yet after I was going to last week. I'll do it soon, I just keep forgetting.

hahaha sorry Miss

No the Booklet in the Lenticular would not fit inside the steel, it is full size to fit into the Slip... but tomorrow I will take the time to investigate. I'll look inside the envelop as I didn't look at the card and now thinking at why I didn't see the small plastic envelop with the character cards hmmm maybe they put everything in the big Blue envelop... inside the steelbook there was only the Bookmark

Yeah, now that you mention it, the Nova Choice AoU is literally just the steelbook with a slip over it, which is why they have to fit all the stuff inside, while this lenti is a bit thicker. Well, I'll let you get to the bottom of it since I'm not gonna open my lenti.

You keep forgetting?!!!!

 

[winter_soldier]

I like to take my time opening them, I gotta be in the zone because you can only open it once. And maybe it also ties a bit into me putting it off because once it's open then it's not sealed any more.

LOL I understand.

ok compared my lenti booklet size and the full slip booklet size without unwrapping. Indeed the lenti version is thinner. Why is that so?

I Opened my Lenti, tomorrow if I notice the book in A2 appearing thicker I'll Open it as well to see what is going on

 

[KittyCat]

Hm, this is very strange indeed. I'm still waiting for my second lenti so I haven't opened the one I got with me yet ...
Part of me just wants to rip it open and check what's going on but I can't bring myself to until the other one is here. Sorry.

And I take pride in opening my premium editions coz they often look much better without the shrink-wrap but can't for the life of me get myself to open my TWS Nova lenti. I just can't ...

From what I heard, due to the cost of the lenti they had to cut corners on the paper of the booklet. The number of pages is the same but just a different kind of paper.

I just gave a quick look to the book in the lenti but true one of the Thing I Love about Korean/Chinese Retailers is that the Booklet have nice and thick pages, feels like a real book. This makes a lot of sense.

Since we were talking about it I just opened my A2, and I'm glad I got around to it because the steelbook is extremely nice and I'm very pleased with it. So shiny. The book is also well-made, and the character cards and other pictures are suitably glossy.

Regarding the whole lenti vs fullslip book thickness, I had a look at my TWS Kimchi copies, and it's the same case with that release as well, so I guess it's just lentis in general. But I haven't opened that lenti either so I can't compare them directly myself.

 

[cooey]

It's thinner as it's bound differently to the full slips. Still the same amount of pages, etc

Nice picture! So the red and black piece is the actual book? And the thin blue piece between the book and the steelbook is the envelope that contains the pictures and cards?

Thank you for posting this photo. I didn't realize that there was a piece between the steelbook and book in my A2 of The First Avenger. Taking a closer look at mine now and I can just barely see something in between.

Thank you again!

@Mickle_89 Absolutely gorgeous shots! I really love that steelbook too. Surprisingly, I don't mind the cut off legs as much as I did when they first showed the pics. Maybe it's coz that steelbook is so well done otherwise but I truly think it doesn't look that bad in hand.

Agreed. The feel and finish more than makes up for that, IMO Feels truly premium in my hands
