My cashier was actually clicking her nails on my copy. She kept talking about the movie and was tapping on the case. I wasn't too pleased, but I let it slide.

Was she cute? Only way that could slide

Congrats Matt! This one is quite a collectible! It was an extraordinary day for US SteelBook collectors hunting this down.

Extraordinary is certainly one word for it

Well that was a trip! My local BB only had 6 copies and were all out when i got there..so i placed an order for store pickup at 3 different BB's from another city nearby, which is an hour drive. Got an email from 2 of them saying that the items were no longer in stock but the last one had them. Being paranoid, i called that BB and asked if they really did have it, and when the girl described the movie she had set aside, she described the regular version! Im like, no, its the one that says steelbook collectible packaging! So she goes to the display and comes back and says:sorry about the mixup, but i have it now and it was the last one! That was a close one to say the least, but i have it now and can finally relax a bit! Whew!!

I got mine just in time yesterday around 11 am...last one after going to 3 BB's

I had forgotten BB opened at 10am. My work day started at 9am so I wasn't able to hit there in the morning. Fortunately for me, and unlike those sad dudes at that Thor display, I hang at the Ninja so I understood the availability of 'in store pickup'. Took a quick break at around 9:45, grabbed my phone, got on line, placed my order, and wahlah...Thor was mine!!! I had been checking in store pickup all morning, so I'm imagining it must have just opened up. Not sure how many my BB got, but the display only allowed two slots for the Steel, equalling aprox. 6 steels each.

When I got there for pickup I strolled to the back where Thor was displayed. All steelbooks were gone, as were alot of the amrays!

I'm wondering if this isn't already sold out across the country.

 

[100pr00f]

Prob is sold out...some one on bd.com who works there posted that BB only had about 400 left US wide and that was at noon

 

[CyberAthlete]

It is sold out. Checked inventory levels for online at my local Best Buy. Zero.
Checked inventory for IL. Zero.

That's pretty impressive- a one day sell-out! Hope it means more steelbooks for us here in the US.

 

[mlmaier84]

Just had a thought...for those of you who weren't lucky enough to get a copy of this yesterday, you may want to go back to your store or call them on March 5th. Best Buy will only hold in-store pickup orders made yesterday until then. There may have been people that decided not to get it or can't get it before then for one reason or another. And I'm sure there has to be AT LEAST a few orders where someone called a store that's really far away from them, because they were the only one who had it, and decided not to go that far to pick it up or found it somewhere else before they went. Personally, I plan on calling around that day to see if that may have happened...you never know. In my mind, it's worth a short drive and/or a phone call or two.

EDIT - Not sure if the day to check would be the 5th or 6th, but you get the point...

Yeah, as much hell as I went through yesterday to get all my copies, I have to admit...it was VERY impressive. Here in Houston, TX (4th largest city in the U.S. in terms of population & 3rd in size) we were COMPLETELY SOLD OUT (we have approx 30 stores) in less than 5 hours. That's INSANE and totally unheard of for any U.S.steelbook release!

What a difference the title makes. Easily the best version for me and value for money.

 

[JayLew84]

The title does make the difference. I ordered a couple from zavvi to make sure I had a steelbook for this title. I will probably open one of those and keep my Best Buy copies sealed.

Now I can't wait for the next Captain America Steelbook.

Almost regret selling my entire Avengers phase 1 steelbooks collection (IM 1 Play.com, IM2 play.com, Thor 2D/3D Thailand, Cap America germany, Hulk Play.com, IM3 Taiwan, Avengers Singapore, Avengers Futureshop, Avengers HMV, Avengers Best Buy) but I am cherishing my definitive technology speakers more

Good choice of speakers! I love the Mythos STS.

It's nice, as an American collector, to have a steel that is actually worth a damn available in our country. This hopefully will continue to be a good year for us!
