I own the complete Phase 1. This doesn't massively bother me cause it doesn't change what I already own.
If the new art is out of this world, will I buy this too? Probably.
I want the best set of Avengers steels on my shelf.

I have more than one shelf......

I don't own Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 1 or Iron Man 2. So this is AWESOME news for me.

Now if Zavvi can just put out a proper steelbook of The Avengers, that would be sweet! (which would quite obviously be hugely different than the Viva case).

I already own the old HMV exclusive steelbook, which will be very hard to beat in terms of artwork and finish IMO, so this will obviously be a pass for me. I think it's great news for those who missed out on the original steelbook though.

If you already own the originals, yes their value probably takes a hit - but if you never plan to sell/trade them, then does it matter?

And, FWIW, I don't know whether I put myself into the category of Serious or Joe collector; I just like what I like.

I agree with you here. I paid a lot of money for my Thor 3D MM version. I love it and will not be selling it. Even if THOR was as easy to find as the Best buy Dark Knight Rises, I would still love my Thor just as much. I don't understand how the quantity of an item in existence changes its perceived value by its owner. I understand that hard-to-find and limited edition items are highly sought after, which will increase its price, but another company rereleasing a similar item won't change the LE item one already owns.

The money I paid for Thor was what I could afford at the time, and nobody forced me to buy it. Even if Thor from zavvi is exactly the same as mine, it won't affect how much I love my copy.

I see this affecting scalpers more than it affects most of us here. I also see this as a positive thing that could bring happiness to more collectors who aren't lucky enough to have gotten these marvel steels originally.

Lol no chance .

I was gonna post my perspective on this, but in reading through all the madness, I see that these two blokes zoneism and schrute farms have already posted most of what I was thinking.

When it's all said and done folks... when the chips are all on the table, this will have a more positive effect on the steelbook world than negative.

Keep calm and carry on.

Ditto!

 

[smileyx9]

Glad i sold my Phase one-easy pass on this for me

 

[Dino Last]

Well good news for people who do not have them already. I'm sure they will sell out again and the resale value will go back up again too

 

[NazguL66]

well this sure generated some discussion haha

If this has new and different artwork, I might consider getting this one to go along with my HMV Thor!

 

[pioneer]

just watching my laptop ready for thor to go live and refresh the laptop and then like magic thor awol

 

[ZubS]

LOL I did not see this thread! Thor too?? Same with CA if the artwork is somewhat incredible it's worth the double dip

 

[pioneer]

thor has just gone into thin air not even the sold out writing is nothing

I not sure if the question has been asked but I have not ordered from Zavvi before and I want to know how is their shipping in regards to packaging??? Oh and do they ship to the U.S.???

 

[Wreck]

The art is not new art .... but its not a reprint of prior steel fyi. Expect something you've seen on an amaray. ie. prior approved art.

Should be a nice little brother to the original. Esp if they add some premium finishes.

they ship world wide for 1pound. Packaging is major improvement compared to yester-years.
