Man of Steel Steelbook (Walmart)

I definitely ordered the Collector's Edition from WBshop, but I might get this one also. I wonder if the magnets will be sold at release time?

The lenticular magnetic cards were exclusive to in store pre-order of Man Of Steel at Wal-Mart so they may not be selling any separately just to go on the steelbook.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too...I guess I'll mosey on up to WM and pick one up.

As has been somewhat unclearly explored already in this thread...

That's a fine idea if you are pretty sure that the thing you are paying for by buying the magnet will turn out to be this SteelBook. But since people have posted links to two separate items, one appearing to be the magnet/VUDU pre-order version @ $24.96 and the other being the SteelBook version @ $29.96, I'm not so sure that is the case.

Also I don't really get why the magnet is necessary for the SteelBook. Isn't it the same size as a SB cover, while normally a true lenticular SB has a magnet slightly smaller than the cover fitting into a depression on the cover?

Yeah, like the German Titanic steelbook comes to mind, as it had a smaller lenticular card in the center of the steelbook.
You bring up some good points, which was why I never preordered this version yet...I guess I want to see what it's going to look like. I'm sure I'll procratinate on picking up the magnet, and then miss out.
