im confused...is this a The Hut or Zavvi exclusive ?
btw...only with new Artwork, if not...zavvi can go to hell

zavvi is part of The Hut. Don't know who they are trying to fool lol.

It's also a bit suspicious. They release the 2 most wanted and expensive Steelbooks and they decide to list them as The Hut exclusives instead of '"Zavvi'' exclusives?

Does anyone know what the reason behind this is? Why don't they just say it's a Zavvi exclusive, like the other 20 thousands steelbooks they have released in the past few months?

I believe they've taken the page down to change / correct the title.

It'll be back folks, these things take a moment or two.

Thor now says Zavvi in the title.

Mistakes happen, I'm sure it'll all be fixed soon.

Well the sequel is on its way (for both CA and Thor) so the timing is right from the seller.

Going by the star trek, white 1 disc, I can see these being identical, but BR only. It would make commercial sense. No new art / proofs, proven demand.

Time will tell. Maybe wrek can shed some light later?

its not a Reprint rest assured.

only you show the path
a load off my chest finallly

That's good news I suppose. The only trouble is that unlike other studios, Paramounts re-releases are usually just as good or sometimes better than the originals. It will be hard for them to top the originals in this instance so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

Hopefully this isn't the real price either.

Most ones I've seen lately from Zavvi have a higher price and when the listing goes live, it drops a bit.

Zavvi not crazy, they know that everyone buys

Cocaine would be cheaper than the new "Zavvi Steel Addiction"

Cocaine would be cheaper than the new "Zavvi Steel Addiction"

But Steel has a much longer lasting high!

Also, the need for exclusivity in this thread is disconcerting

AGAIN 3D PLEASE

Again, no chance . Probably single disc release.

Apparently the link doesn't work. Directs you to the Zavvi web page only - at least in my case. But anyway, good news. Missed out on the first print

 

[huggy2k4]

I had a feeling this would pop up sooner or later even got a feeling IM 1&2 and the avengers will also pop up soon. With different artwork amd hopefully the same quality has the first release and I'll pre order and them decide after wards which to keep.

 

[arkhan78]

hmmm link not working on either think it was just something to stir the steelbook collectors nest?

Regardless if it comes out its not good for those who had to pay extortionate prices to get hold of the HMV/ Play copies for their collection. Leave a something like this as is concentrate on getting the right art work for - CA2, Thor 2, IM3 right!

 

[smileyx9]

I`ll never understand this Phase 1 Hype- pass on this

 

[ZubS]

Oh good lord! If the artwork is awesome on this I will definitely double dip and get a copy, if not then its a pass for me
