It is Disney's policy to screw popular titles especially the Avengers franchise.

Seems amazon have a listing for 2D steelbook?

Or more precisely, the BD Steelbook

This will just be another mistake listing of the Zavvi exclusive on Amazon's system. Happens every time

With matte finish this is going to look terrible especially the grey cloudy background.

So no one knows the print run, still? I bet if this was limited to 1000 then 90% of the collectors who have canceled would not have done.

20% off code, this is a must for me now.

what code???

 

[Baltic]

what code???

Today Zavvi sent out individual mistery codes - from 5% up to 20% discount. So some happy guys could make pre-orders (for Thor 2 3D too) with 20% discount

I am left wondering if Zavvi will update the artwork. It is a bit confusing to see different artwork on the thread and a different one on the retailer link.

don't think I got that email. I bought and pre-ordered a bunch from them in the past month

Email title is "Mystery Discount - Save up to 20% on your next order" Check your spam folder. I got it...this time.

Maybe Blufans can do this release justice

Disney royally screw up the sequel release to a grail title? Blufans could be onto a complete winner if they pulled out the stops and have a modern grail title with a premium finish and limited run

Problem is that will be 3 times the price..... I'll settle for the Zavvi steelie

 

[Konflick]

i will buy this film but not sure where. I'm not a fan of No Title or matte finish. So maybe i will get the amaray version instead

 

[TheWorz]

£3 off. Better than a kick in the nuts i guess. Thanks for the heads up about the code guys.

 

[tobes77]

I used my zavvi code for this and bought it through top cash back.. nearly £5 off lol

 

[SimonLDT]

Hmmm, it's looking like a grim steelbook overall, especially now confirmed it's a matte finish.

I'll most likely cancel and get the best available amaray with slipcover (not keen on the look of the 2D UK cover so far though). A nice embossed glossy slip with the artwork which was originally going to be the steelbook front would do me fine.

With Disney now in charge, I don't think any of Phase 2 onwards are going to match. Best to keep a set of Phase 1's as steelbooks and then go all amaray/boxsets for the rest. That's my thinking anyway. Already IM3 and Thor won't match (spine) and I wonder how Captain America will turn out too...

Terrible looking steelbook ergo cancelled!
