I haven't managed it in a while myself, so was surprised. Dw, its out in 5 weeks, and won't sell out. So just use codes on the day.

I totally should do that, but I wont.

 

[Punker76]

Fifty quid?? Nope. Have skipped all these Zavvi "collectors editions" so far.... Combination of overpriced products, dressed up WWA's not hitting the mark and (with a couple of exceptions) not really feeling the MCU post Endgame.

Saying that, as soon as there's a proper premium for this I'll be on it like a rat up a drainpipe

 

[spookz]

£33.99 !!! The movies get worse, so I suppose they have to claw the money back somehow. I wish they had taken a break after Endgame.

Not necessarily guaranteed to change to a Monday as Thor: Love and Thunder got released on a Wednesday instead of Monday

Thor: Love and Thunder had a release date of October 3rd 2022
That was a Monday

Zavvi getting late delivery of SteelBooks at their warehouse is a different matter to release date

The DVD and Blu-ray and UHD Amaray releases was in stock on Monday October 3rd 2022 with all UK retailers
There is unboxing videos on Youtube from October 3rd 2022 of the amaray UK releases

Artwork is by the legendary Mexifunk (Orlando Arocena) I believe.

The nanor one is i believe, probably why i like it! The wakanda one is by a female artist according the the bestbuy promo vid.

Now you mention it, that one does look like a very different style.

Yes that's the one! I didn't twig he was Mexifunk though. Don't think I've heard of the other artist.

I didn't think I was familiar with her either, but I do actually recognise some of her previous pieces...

I can’t check the link but wasn’t she responsible for the far from home illustrated steel (not the HMV exclusive edition). I recognise her style anyway with the Wakanda art

Edit: ok that’s not her who made that (Dorothea Taylor) but I had seen her Soul piece before and her What if guardians stuff

Got my order in. Kinda doubt this will sell out soon like the rest of 2022 MCU movies

Think the FFH steel art was by Sam Gilbey IIRC.

But yeah, Soul is the main piece of hers that I recognise as well. Would love that on a Mondo x steel actually!

Here's her site if you want to see her entire portfolio... Dorothea Taylor

9.9 £ shipping ? Pass. Gonna get Nordic ...

I'll do a full photo shoot in a bit but here it is and its actually glossy. It is for sure an improvement on the finish of the last few MCU releases in the UK but still not as nice as the Black Widow and Shang Chi I think.

The UK release is actually glossy? Well **** me. Hopefully the namor one is too, or I'll throw a fit lol

Yeah I know, after like 4 matte releases maybe someone actually listened. I kinda wish I had ordered both now but honestly I am already stretched thin on budget.

I did have a feeling it might be. Disney seem to only apply gloss over here recently for films that have done better theatrically, where the design calls for it. This &Encanto fall into the bracket

Full picture set.

If it don’t go back in stock I’d happily buy the Wakanda version. But I do prefer the Namor so I’ll give it a few days after release. Should at least be some cancellations
