Captain America: Civil War (31/08/16)

[bell_packet]

Well that's fair enough, I'm a MCU and Cap fan first and foremost, so I've been obsessing over this release for months, although funnily enough, I didn't realise until last night that the US doesn't seem to be getting any Walmart slips, and that was only because someone posted about it on the US thread. But I was so caught up in whether we'd get the Team Cap version in NZ that it slipped my mind.

But since I'm such a big fan I always knew I'd be picking up multiple copies of this. I have been having second thoughts about my steelbook preorder with Zavvi, since I'll end up getting Novamedia releases and they all have the same SB inside, so it seems a little overkill to buy it separately. But at the same time I want it, so... idk.

I'm dying for the commentary tbh, I saw it so many times in theatres that I have a really good grip on how the whole thing worked, and I'm firmly Team Cap, so I want to hear what the writers and directors have to say about things. Their commentary for TWS was great, so I'm looking forward to it the most out of the extras, but at least they're overall halfway decent considering the paltry amount on TWS release.

Where do you get the review copy from if it's coming in a couple of weeks? The US?

And yeah, that UK version of the trilogy is epic, it comes in both 2D and 3D versions. But I already own 11 copies of TWS and 2 of TFA, and will buy who knows how many of CW, so I think I'll have to pass, lest I completely lose what little sanity I have remaining.

Haha that's hilarious! Honestly can't believe how much variety we're getting these days. They keep saying physical is dead, but it's striving better than ever it seems.

Next to Star Wars, I'd have to say that the MCU is my absolute favourite franchise ever. It's even got me reading comics, almost obsessively... Which I never thought I'd do... I'm buying TPB's every week now and trying to collect the classic lines in the "Epic" format. I've even had to get a Marvel Unlimited subscription to fill in the gaps between the Epics, which annoyingly for me aren't released chronologically.... That reminds me, I actually have to pay for my Unlimited renewal today
I feel like I've spent a fortune on comics alone in the last 12 months.

I'm also pretty obsessive about my Marvel Hot Toys... So, I have to draw the line somewhere. Sadly, that comes in the form of the actual film releases themselves. But I'll double dip here, and will prepare my wallet for the Phase 3 set down the line too.

Yes!! Super excited for the commentary. I didn't listen to commentaries for years, but I make the exception for Marvel and Star Wars. I'm really looking forward to the hour-ish long behind the scenes. I loved the in depth features on the first two Iron Man films, and have been disapointed since. So hopefully this is redeemable. Also pumped for the Doc Strange preview.

Nah, I get the review copies from Australia... But I use the term "review" or "preview" copy incredibly loosely... I get them directly from the girls in the Disney home video PR / media management team. Strangely, they don't recieve actual copies from the manufacturer until around release date themselves, so the review copies often go out after release. Which is incredibly odd.
On top of that, they're not even given 3D copies - I asked for one for Jungle Book for review since the US market didn't get one and was told they'd only have 2D copies to send out.
