I didn't even though it was a limited number - usually they state 'only 1000' but didn't see that mentioned

Ignoring the notion that this is "Sold out" and pre-supposing that 2 of the lenti steelbooks (IRON MAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA) will be made available as standalones I've messaged Zavvi via "Feeback" to consider making all 8 of these lenti steelbooks available in a strong slipbox with a lenti cover packaging.

Cause that's gonna go anywhere.

You may as well have asked for a 9.99 price, no zbox tie ins and better packaging for steel books cause those impossible requests would have had better chances of going over

Once you get a response it will read "we have forwarded your interest to the relevant department" and then you will hear nothing back from them again. Zavvi are a stuck record.

Like your idea though, it would give a reason for them to create a nice 'boxed set' and use the loophole to re-buy the actually sold out limited editions and include them as part of a boxed version'.

 

[virkia]

If you don't ask you don't get and if you don't get as least you tried.
GBP 9.99 for a lenti 3D steelbook . . . LOL
"better packaging for steelbooks" - no such thing IMO.

If a boxed set can be created for the complete seasons of "Breaking Bad" I can see no reason why something similar cannot be created for this nice lenti collection especially with Christmas just around the corner.

Maybe Zavvi could take a leaf out of Arrow's book regarding their excellent sturdy boxes for their own boxsets ?

I do like the idea of a 1 - click option for this wave, if they were £14.99 max each....

These release's have me a little confused as Zavvi have and are obviously looking at their competition, who are offering packages with all the bells and whistles and all made to a high spec give or take one or two issue's, so with that in mind if these are going to be knocked out for that price I am surprised that Zavvi have not used this wave to introduce a new premier deluxe line/range in their Steelbook portfolio to compete with the usual suspect's, ie all the bell's and whistle's plus the steelbook in a quality slip and let's be honest in the end your going to pay £24.99 for a possibly nice steel with a dodgy lenti, I know people will say 'WE ONLY WANT THE STEELBOOK' and that is right and bang on, but I post this from a retailer point of view, if Zavvi announced strictly limited package's of each marvel release with exclusive art the buzz would be incredible and they would all become grails potentially.

I wonder how many customer's Zavvi lost to Film Arena over Terminator Genisys, Mission Impossible ETC or Kimchi with the Grand Budapest Hotel and many many more....

Last thing I want to see with this "lenti collection" is a one click or in a box set like breaking bad.

Reason 1. Where will age of ultron and antman fit into this box set when they decide to do then same with those and other future releases after the standard WWA releases

Reason 2. Breaking bad box was flimsy and I wouldn't see this being any different.

Tbh a one click would suit some people for these releases but they would need to drop the price dramatically

Also these will most likely come with a lenti magnet and not a slip.
Can't see zavvi changing that.
Id be happy with either though

I'd be happy with a 1 click option if each steel was £14.99, but I don't like the box set idea for the reason's you state, for me a one click option is just for sheer convenience so someone who wants to buy every steel can in one go and doesn't have to plan their time around waiting for pre-orders to go live....

I agree and I would consider at that price too

This thread is being de-railed with a lot of nonsense talk not related to the Thor steelbook, i'm fed up with reading endless talk of stuff not related and I bet it's irritating anyone subscribed.

If you want to talk about packaging, 1 clicks or bundles of this , that or whatever, go to the retailer thread and have a field day, just stop posting here. (and please don't reply to this post either )

Also GOTG has it's own thread, please use the search function at the top of the page.

I've had a bad day, can you tell ?!

the back artwork is crap, back on topic now

Well I'm replying!
You clearly have had a bad day (and I agree the thread derailed a little last night) but things like one clicks regarding this wave and lenticular packaging is perfectly fine In here IMO

It's no different in a kimchi, nova, blu fans thread etc about one clicks and packaging so why should this be any different. (Plus it was just a suggestion that got mentioned 2 or 3 times)

Not having a go because as you said you have had a bad day but a lot of this has been relative to the steelbook(s)

Also there are other threads where people do chatter or post constant memes that have nothing to do with the release and compared to some threads I've seen this is massively tame

I get annoyed anyway of posts getting moved to retailer threads when half the time they make sense being in the actual steel thread plus I don't really go in the retailer threads lol so that's why it might annoy me. What can I say, purely selfish

the back artwork is crap, see back on topic now

I think the back looks awesome. I would display it as the front next to my MC Hammer musical action figure

Lol,

It is so strange they chose a extremely close up of the hammer.
I get its for the text on it but it's lazy IMO

Agreed, they could have at least translated it ..

Haha,
Subtitles below

It probably does just read "he who is worthy will wield the hammer" or something classier than what I said.
Whatever Odin says in the film.

Someone out there knows who's into the whole mythology

 

[virkia]

If it's ancient Norse maybe one of the Scandinavian members here will be able to translate it ?
If it's just a random bunch of squiggles / gobbledegook then anybody can translate it . . .

EDIT: Appears to be genuine and from the Futhark Runic Alphabet although a few letters are inaccurate.

EDIT : Translation - from 4 o' clock on the disc clockwise :-
HE WOH WAEELDS DHAES HAMMER COMMADS DHE LAEGHDQAEQG AQD DHE
SDORM
or
HE WHO WIELDS THIS HAMMER COMMANDS THE LIGHTNING AND THE STORM

EDIT 12/11: If all 8 have artwork exclusive to the U.K. AND have spine titles I can see no reason why they shouldn't sell well across the board even at the GBP 24 / 25 level although the print run for each could be high (up to 4,000 each?) but if anyone knows different . . .
