It was yesterday. And maybe an hour & 1/2?

Maybe "Limited Edition Streelbook" should be written on the j-card to accompany the film's witty style.

Thanks. I only ask because I never got an e-mail from Zavvi. I usually do when they get 'last few remaining'.

No worries. Yeah, I got an email, but not til after I'd already found out. Since I missed out on the first round of pre-orders, I've been checking it regularly to see if anymore became available. With the release of the artwork, seems a few people cancelled.

Great movie, terrible steelbook! Need a title on the spine for a start. Gonna look so bad next to the rest of my Marvel steelbooks

the most recent marvel steels from zavvi haven't had titles on either, they've had heads of the characters in the movie.

You can still order it from Amazon.de

Only winning factor for me is is they put Kevin Bacon on the back

 

[Axeqlusive]

I wasn't going to buy this one anyway... though I liked the film, but I haven't got any Marvel anymore.
But... this artwork, I mean like... wtf?! Must be the worst art I have ever seen on a steelbook.

I'm a bit late seeing this art ....wow as people have said before it does not represent the film at all (just a small section/ joke) where are all the interesting characters so many different designs (i like that they play 80s music in film and hes a child of the 80s.. but its more than just one character) i never thought id miss the days of marvel steels having faces on the spine and no title ..oh well the amaray looks good.

To me it is like a family album with no humans in it.

After reading this interview I think Kevin Feige and James Gunn had a bigger part in the design of this steelbook then we all thought, read the last question/answer

Surely the mixtape/Walkman plays a huge part in the film and is a perfect representation of it? The tape and Walkman play a part during the opening scene with Peter as a kid, and then the introduction of 'star lord'. Peter getting the Walkman back does have some comic relief but also shows how emotionally attached to it Peter is, and don't forget the mix tape is literally the soundtrack to the film.... I can't think of anything else that would make a better design to represent the film

This is why we can't have nice things! The one time Disney actually decides to make an effort and produce some original steelbook art, this is what happens. Still, I see your point: this doesn't exactly scream Marvel, and would probably be more relevant to a music flick like Hi Fidelity.

At least now you'll understand how I feel about the Disney collection. The difference is of course that this artwork is good on it's own, while the Disney collection is riddled with subpar artwork (there are exceptions) that could easily have been replaced by classy poster art.
