There's a title on the front.

The characters in front are on a slip.

Right! lol duh I knew that, thought maybe the inside art was different, I read the post wrong I guess.

Ok now by slip do you mean a little paper that fold around the steel? Or like a full slip? And does it have the title on the side if it is a full slip?

That is no slip. Just a J-card that extends to the front.

There is a title on the front of the steelbook.

Well, Gents

The time is among us. I have a couple of steels ready at in store pick up. Hope to snag a few more in store at opening. I'm predicting that these will be very nice, but nothing amazing. Like the last US Marvel steels. It's a shame that there is no title on the spine to keep the matching set going. I'm hoping for a US re-release sometime in the future.

I also predict that there will be very few perfect copies. If you look hard, like on Thor 2 BB & Cap 2 BB, you will see random nicks, tear in yhe shrink, spine slashes, those black scuffs/ scratches that matte steels tend to get, Mis-Aligned spines aka Stupid Spine Syndrome, and the ole' POP when you press down on it lightly that I hate with a passion.
^Those are all things I try to avoid? Some more than others. It's a shame that US steels seem to be poorly manufactured most of the time, but I guess that heightens the thrill of the hunt a bit more for OCD basterds like myself.

Any, good luck to all me ninjas out there hunting for that perfect copy.
If you see a 5'8, Caucasian male in dressed in all black with w black beanie power walking towards the GOTG display, stay out of my way lol

Slipcover? You mean that piece of paper you rip and put in the trash? ^^

Now wait a minute, to each their own preference. I keep my amarays with slipcovers but throw away the paper that comes with the steels

Same for me actually! Always throw away steelslips, but the fullslips that come with some amarays, them i keep

Picking mine up in the next couple of days once I get my price match fixed. Not paying 30 when I can get it for 20.

Were these ever available for in-store pickup? Does anyone know if they will likely be made available in the morning, like Thor: The Dark World?

I was going to ask the same question. I tried selecting in store pick up, but it doesn't give me the option!

I ordered a few for in store pick up back around the second week of November, and received emails today stating that they would be available for pick up tomorrow.

Same, gonna pick it up tomorrow on my lunch break

 

[mkachanthong]

I believe they went "out of stock" the week of black Friday during their promotion where you received 100 my best buy points if you pre ordered it

 

[SteelMadien]

When I first ordered it, I couldn't pick it up at the store. But once that option was available, I cancelled then reordered it for pick. Saved some money on shipping, that's for sure.

I keep all my j cards in a box in the basement but any slip that actually wraps all the way around the steel I keep on there. Only reason I keep them in that box though is in case I ever go to sell some if somebody wanted the j card I could have that for them also. I keep all the full slips, lenticular slips, and 1/4 slips on the amarays and steels though.

Now wait a minute, to each their own preference. I keep my amarays with slipcovers but throw away the paper that comes with the steels

WOW!!!! Love it!!!!!

Just in case no one put this up. Here is the inside of my Taiwan version (outside is identical in every way to the BB & Canadian including debossing. (Except of course the Taiwan slip is unique.)).
