This should be £12. £15.99 is overkill for a 1 disc ... hopefully it has some embossing or de-bossing, to make up for the horrendous back artwork.

 

[Dragon Lee]

disappointed with the cover art. an easy pass for me.

 

[razr24788]

Yes truly horrible back, up for the award for laziest back artwork if there was one this year, there are so many things they could have taken from the film and print it on the back its just a waste, it will need embossing and gloss to make it worth while, I just cannot forgive that plain boring black coloured back with some micro pictures, fox wave you expect crop like that, not this. My expectations have now hit rock bottom.

 

[Bluprint]

The artwork is huge letdown but it will have to grow on me on because I love and must own anything THOR! I really hope they emboss the crap out of the front otherwise this be very low concern that stays on my maybe list for a long time!

 

[Tacozilla]

it a shame its just the amaray art and nothing special, but its great for those who missed out on the HMV ones (and other versions). I dont know if ill get it or not, if Iron Man gets a new release then I might pick them all up

 

[Malky78]

Oh, that's fugly. 1 disc and still £16. I can't see this selling out quickly.

 

[Anish1987]

I was very much looking forward to these being rereleased, as I have only recently got into collecting steelbooks. However I am left very disappointed with this design. IMO the simple design of the HMV release is far supirior for both Thor and CA. I will have to keep an eye out for them popping up in a CEX

A similar style to the black Star Trek release would have been much better with Thor on the front and Loki on the back

 

[mactaylor]

It's like the cinema poster artwork. Don't like it for steelbook design. Looks cheap.

 

[HeyTJB]

Yikes! This is worse than the Captain America steel. I was looking forward to these two so much and now... deeply disappointed. Especially in this one since I've already priced the original steelbook and it's way out of my price range.

I don't even know I want to buy this just to have a Thor steelbook.

 

[thegreat]

Not as good as the original release but I have seen far worse steelbooks.

Bit of embossing on THOR and it will be a decent poor mans version of Thor.

It seems as if the only thing that people do on these threads is ***** and complain (the artwork sucks, it looks horrible - blah. blah. blah)...just be thankful that it's being re-released in steelbook again.

 

[Wreck]

I think it looks pretty darn good ... will set great next to my original. And if im really feeling froggy I can take the back plate off this one and throw it on the original since it appears it will still go nicely.

 

[brandon93]

I like the look of this aswell, defo getting this, it will sit nice next to my HMV one!

 

[Snollygoster]

Missed out on the first release so this will do nicely, Its not perfect, but its not horrible either.

wat.

There are many here who dont want it re-released.

if u want the reasons why they dont want any rare steelbook re-released just go back and read this thread from page 1.

:movie:

That might be an idea....I wonder if people with damaged steels could start selling their separate plates and make everyone happy. I would take this one withy he back plate of the original.

Spec

Do we know how many discs / what special features this (and the CA SB) will include? I missed out on the HMV originals but will only upgrade my normal editions based on spec. I have the normal UK 2 disc Thor Blu Ray and the Best Buy exclusive CA Blu Ray with comic book artwork on the back.

 

[SBC28]

Shame this and CA have to look the way they do. I hope they change this before they're actually being made.

 

[southam1978]

I personally thisk this is cool and will be buying to get with my HMV steelbook.

 

[fishcp2]

This probably would be an easy buy to me if I didn't had the original release, but as I do, thank God I can finally pass something from Zavvi.
