Hey there.. I'd be interested please. If you PM me your paypal details I'll send now
No way is this steelbook worth £33
Why not return it rather than take a loss?
There was a 4K Zavvi Steelbook Sealed that ended at £27.99 including postage, yesterday on eBay.
It's the price I paid, well ~£26.39. So I'm basically losing postage, which is what I'd lose sending back to Zavvi anyway.
Choice of tracks in English on 4k disc
1.Dolby Atmos
2. Dolby Digital plus
Both equally disappointing
The problem with it is how it's come out on the steelbooks. With the "grain" of the steelbook along with this line, in hand it looks like a scratch and while it is his armour showing through, you can't see the other parts of it as clearly on a small steelbook as you can on a large clear poster.
Considering the liberties taken with other artwork, it would have been very easy to remove that for the steelbook as it would have been evident it doesn't work very well on this medium when they had some proofs which I would assume they get?
Anyway, it's only a small thing. Other than that I do like it. Just a shame the US version spanks it a bit.
From what I've seen, the NA release looks like it has richer colours with a glossier finish. Could just be the pictures but I think there is actually a difference.
I actually think this one is alright.
More than happy with it
Granted it could be better, but could also be a lot worse

Yes, you're not wrong about the majority of the silver outlines of the armour that can be seen in the zoomed-in poster and apart from the vertical silver slash at stomach level you can really only see a small silver horizontal slash under his arm on the steelbook . . . other silver outlines appear hidden by the red "mist".
No, I don't know why they didn't just paint them all out for the steelbook . . . can see these two silver slashes causing headaches for re-sellers as they explain to buyers that "No, the steelbook does not have two scratches on the front . . . the scratches are part of the design". Maybe best to include this fact in the listings!
Waiting for decent pics/unboxings of the U.S. steelbook to see if the "marks" are as noticeable. I suspect that they won't be due to what I believe is a thicker coating and no metallic reflections on that edition.

Anyway, unpacked mine today . . . really, really pleasing steelbook . . . mainly thanks to the amazing metallic reflections in that enveloping mist cloud . . . a wonder to behold . . . with just a twist of the wrist you get dull to vibrant artwork and back again . . . almost as if Thor is not just surrounded by the red/orange mist but is part of it.
Great action pose too.
Compared to we've been getting here in the uk i.e. Faces on the spine no title no gloss etc it's a big improvement
Same with the DTS-HD MA 7.1 mix as well. Either it was mixed this way or something has gone wrong during the authoring process (reminiscent of Age of Ultron).
Watched last night and my opinion on the film hasn't changed upon a second viewing (doesn't take itself seriously enough/too many gags) however what I was really disappointed in was the 4K disc itself, nowhere near as nice on the eye as the GOTG Vol 2 and Spiderman Homecoming UHD releases

Really? I haven’t opened mine yet as i’m not at home for a few days but I was expecting this movie to really pop in 4K

Just my opinion, you might still like it
Still no steelbook today.
You in the UK? Weather could be playing a part in it getting to you.....
I was given that excuse by the Royal Mail for a delayed parcel in the run up to Christmas. Trouble was, their own tracking system clearly showed that my local delivery office - barely 1.5 miles away from my house - had received it on schedule, but had sat on it for a few days for some unknown reason (I was receiving other post each day in the meantime)! My own postie admitted he was aware of parcels being left on a shelf in their office instead of being put in the pile for delivery...
