i totally missed this and the Group Buy

 

[CyberAthlete]

it is honestly a very cool set...
without opening the box itself

pros:
construction (very heavy)
sturdiness
3d effect w/ lights

con:
imho it shouldn't warrant a $68 price tag, i would've felt more comfortable around 50-60 after tax

Breakdown:
I value the box itself at $35
The absolute master edition of this Movie (commentary, all the extras) w/ lenticular slip + Digital soundtrack: $30
Sideshow card: $30 cash value
Book: $20
Poster: $10

Total value IMO: $125
Cost: $75 (with approximate taxes)

Once it sells out....well then you can debate whether $70 was worth it or not There are buyers all over the world who'd love to get their hands on this. So for $70, worth every penny.

I will just say this gift set is priced just right The box has a rubbery, weighty feel to it and the fit is surprisingly very good. The art book and lithograph sit inside so perfectly that when the box closes, you can feel a puff of air being pushed out. The slipcover has that same tight fit to it that I almost crumpled it. Only thing missing is a numbered tag. That would make this a definite must have for collectors of all things Avengers.

[Kurgen1975]

Is there a group buy for this anywhere that i missed? Or can anyone get a copy to the UK for me?

 

[kaw]

I went and checked this out this morning. Pretty cool. They only had 1 left, and I was going to buy it... BUT they wrapped it with a stupid spider security thing.

BIG DENTS on all sides of the box. No buy.

I seem to recall in some ad pics seeing the blue slip cover and a red slip cover, Is the Red Slip Cover an Exclusive somewhere else?

The red slipcover is for the Blu-ray in DVD packaging (G1 size).
