Still up if you're quick

 

[sunnyx]

Well I have over 1,000 in my basket lol, plenty left still

 

[Miffed]

Somehow duplicated my order and can't cancel. So if any ninja out there wants one can send for cost + postage let me know. Looking forward to seeing this, hope that finish is better than some recent releases.

Ordered! It's the same price as the amaray on amazon...so a no brainer for me!

Don't own any of the marvel films yet, so looking forward to this and iron man 3 too.

Just wondering why the craze over this release?

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm getting it as I'd like to add thor to my steelbook collection and the previous releases go past my spending limit on ebay.

Also the the slightest sign that something will sell out always whips collecters up in a frenzy!

 

[Vocent7]

Personally I think this is clever marketing it's what they should have done with JB & LM

Just wondering why the craze over this release?

It's been clever, if not slightly crafty, marketing by Zavvi:

1) It comes up for pre order... Most are like "meh" it's not the HMV one and that artwork is rubbish.

2) one month to go and there has been NO buzz about this title, then BHAM! It has sold out. The collectors start worrying about not having a "sold out" steelbook and the eBay scalpers start to wonder how much money this could be worth, should more copies come in.

3) After leaving us wishing we had a copy, they suddenly start to trickle back into stock and guess what? We now NEED a copy, otherwise we could just be missing out and we don't want to miss it again!

4) Zavvi now have a big customer demand... Poof... The copies are sold.

5) What's this... Captain America has sold out... Now go back to (1

This is a Jedi, I mean Zavvi mind trick!

Embossed title.

 

[Kizza]

That front looks pretty damn good.

 

[Vaako]

the front looks briljant but too bad they didn't put more effort into the back which would have made it a total winner

Maybe it's just a really popular title?

Embossed title.[/QUOTE]

The front and inside look great, but the back is pretty poor. Not a bad alternative for those who don't want to spend the cash getting the original version though.

 

[tommyh84]

Said all along I prefer this to the original and those pics justify that especially with the embossing

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

Yep this one looks perfect for me. Missed the hmv one but this to me is much more interesting to look at. £15.99 you cant go wrong!

Each to their own dude. I respect your opinion, but the HMV version is on another level. This is a nice steel, but not amazing and not a lot of effort was put into it. The lack of artwork at the back is shocking.

Its great for all those that could not get a HMV copy, but back when HMV did exclusives, they were on another level.
