I would say by the end of today this is going to be virtually gone from stores.

Already showing up unavailable in 4 stores within an hour of my location

woot, just placed another order for the GB at my local store!

(and a backup one for online)

I was able to get not only the 5 I had for the GB, but another 5 for the reserve list as well.

actually looking at this steel, it looks better than expected. and the debossing on my copy is fantastic!

It still shows as available for Shipping to me.

Same here @_@ All 10 local Store Unavailable. In the morning it said Available for all of them

Where? Screenshot please. I am seeing it as unavailable. The pricing and the fact this is a 3D copy in a steelbook was unprecedented. That's why it sold out. Hopefully going forward all Best Buy exclusives are priced as such. They should know that they'll never have to worry about overstocked inventory again.

Think Avenger's boxed set. Batman Dark Knight Rises SB. Spiderman SBs. Snowwhite Huntsman SBs....

PS: hoping for some good karma on Game of thrones Season 1 Targaryen slip cover

Good job ninjas! We moved this one fast

I almost freaked out when I went to two local stores at 10:15 and 10:25 and saw empty racks of where the steel was supposed to be. BB Reps said they only got 5 in. Panic drove another 8 miles to a third BB and the gates of heaven open up when I saw a healthy stash of Thor 2 steels. Picked a couple copies to my liking and headed home. LOL I thought I was SOL when two stores sold out so quickly.

Just checked store pickup for my stores and it say Available for the two stores that were sold out and Unavailable for the one that had plenty of copies. So I wouldn't totally trust the system. Calling to make sure they have a copy to reserve may be safer for those who haven't set out to get one yet.

First store sold out in 8 mins (10:08am) & 2nd store @ 10:30am. These things are limited in quantity. Perhaps it's because I'm currently in AR, so few quantities are available. Definitely not as abundant as Captain Phillips. I think some store employees got in on the Thor steels, but who can blame them, it's the first Disney steel since 2010 (lol).

Just got my store pick up and they only had one on the sales floor. The guy said everyone did store pick up so they only had one copy to sell!

 

[Hooch]

Getting worried....anyone heard of Franky getting arrested while fighting for steels in a BB store?

 

[TheStixter]

WOW, glad I got my one extra copy while I was there...just went to the site to check Austin stores and if they were still available for in-store pick-up and all 5 stores said unavailable. THEY WENT FAST!

 

[Bluprint]

This was extremely limited in my area. Got to Best Buy and the originally quoted "7" copies were really "6". 2 of which were fully paid for pre-orders leaving "4" Dark World Steels for the five people out there to fight over! Luckily I was first in line, and with first come-first serve I had to be that guy to take them all! And I had my young Ninjas with me and nobody wanted a katana blade to the face so we walked out like we walked in safe! So to Snollygoster, Marco86, and my brother GroundZero81.. I GOT THEM AND THEY WILL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY!

 

[Troll2Fan]

A good friend of mine in SoCal just texted me and he got the only 2 copies at his local Best Buy.

I'm really thankful I pre-ordered mine.

They took him to him to Maximum Prison for Using a steelbook as a Weapon!

And don't forget THIS IS THE 1ST "MARVEL STEELBOOK" SOLD IN THE :USA:
