... Not that that stopped them from putting Force Awakens on the shelves on the Sunday before release.

Anyway, I asked to make a pre-order just incase I missed out but the bloke tried to tell me the steelbook is DVD only (listed as DVD in the system) and the only blu versions are the Team Cap and Team Iron Man. I wasn't in the mood for an argument, so I walked out without a pre-order. I'll pop over during lunch break on Monday and see what they've got... Sounds like there should be quite a few knocking about.

Lol, don't you love employees who are so frustrating like that? You know what you're talking about but they keep on insisting otherwise. But it sounds like you shouldn't have a problem getting one at least. Plus since there's several versions people will have more choices to go with.

This reminds me that I want to call JB up and see how many copies of the Team Cap version they'll be getting in, although I'll be there when it opens on Wednesday either way. I wonder if they're the only retailer getting it in NZ since I haven't seen it online at any other stores. Although there's not exactly a lot of them that sell blu-rays anymore, the only ones I can think of are The Warehouse and Mighty Ape, but there's nothing about the Team versions on either of their sites.

ETA: I just called them up and my local store said they're getting 30 copies of each team, so looks like I won't have a problem getting one.
