You can view Part 1 on YouTube.

Wonder if Wal-Mart will get back in with their own exclusive.

No. Just Best Buy and Target are the exclusives.

[Dn862004]

No $5 gift card with the Target exclusives for some reason, it is already horrible enough as it is with no Exclusive Digibook or slipcover. I wonder why Target never puts any effort in their Marvel Exclusives but the Disney ones always get something better.

What sucks is that feature will most likely be included on the Phase Three box set.

Just as a suspicion, I went to eBay to see if there are any sellers who have the steelbooks up for sale. I see four sellers who have it up. All of them have AT LEAST 10 copies available for sale, 2 of the sellers have EVEN MORE. That is the reason why it's sold out. These eBay dealing a$$holes who buy bulk to sell at a premium and f**k the average collector has got to stop. Best Buy has to put some kind of...I would say a "1 per customer" guideline into effect.

As I said, it wasnt sold out.

Hopefully next time you wont just jump to the tired old "EBAY RESLLERS KILLED MY WIFE AND RAPED ME DAUGHTER WITH MY DOG THEY ALSO KILLED" and actually think a little bit

I'm disappointed Amazon still hasn't put up a pre-order. I wonder what happened between them and Disney. I'm hoping Target adds a $5 gift card to their 3D exclusive, as I'd probably order it if it were the case. Otherwise I may try and get the regular 3D pack from them.

I was surprised about slipcover and Digital HD being added back to the standard release, maybe everybody's been getting the 3D sets because they've been the around the same price as most 2D sets have been so Disney just wants to charge more again.

I wouldn't want digibooks anyway, but it'd be nice to stop getting DMA junk, I get most of them but I never watch the digital bonus stuff. I'm debating just not bothering with Marvel's exclusives, they're either overpriced steelbooks, which I don't really have much of an interest in anymore, or it's digital bonus.

Well I'm glad it did turn out to have commentary and now it's *finally* available for pre-order on Amazon. Wonder of wonders.

I'm not a fan of including DVD copies though, I know a lot of people like them, but they might as well include a coaster for all the use I get from a DVD, and if they raise the price to cover it, then that's just plain annoying. And I'm also wondering if it'll be stacked like previous versions that have included a DVD? I guess it doesn't matter if it is, I'll just stick the DVD somewhere else and have the 2D and 3D discs in there, but it does make me curious.

IMAX aspect ratio switching scenes confirmed. 3D Blu-ray only!!

Well, here is my dilemma: I pre-ordered the 3d version from Target when they had their 20% sale. The price drops to basically the price of the 2d with RedCard discount. I don't have 3d, but I bought it anticipating only the 3d would have the slip and UV copy.

Do I switch back to the 2d version? I would save a buck or 2, but I would also get the $5 gift card. I think both covers look nice, but I'm one of those that always really likes the other version after buying one haha.

Besides the 3d disc, is there any reason to keep the 3d order besides preference of cover and the $5 gift card?

How lovely! I won't have to buy the 3D combo pack anymore to get the Digital HD (only reasons I own 3D Blu-rays of Civil War & Avengers 2; GOTG was gift).

Nice Disney stopped doing making the digital copies exclusive to 3D combos. Which is weird because they didn't use to do that, then they started doing it and now they've stopped again.

Par for the course these days.

Disney really needs to stop with all the changes in US Blu-ray releases. It started with Oz the Great and Powerful 3D only edition. Then there was the discontinuation of digital copies with 2D Blu-rays and no DVDs in 3D editions. Then Frozen (and a few other titles) get no US 3D release at all. Next, Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens and The Jungle Book get delayed 3D releases with additional bonus material.

We've finally come full circle with Doctor Strange restoring digital copies on 2D editions and DVDs on 3D editions. Hopefully the madness can stop and we can keep future releases this way, making everyone happy. I'm sure it will all get messed up again when Disney launches UHD.

I wish Lucasfilm had followed suit with Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens.

"Collector's Edition" wasn't special enough. Time to claim "Cinematic Universe" for the movie series that made it a thing and so far, has been doing it right.

This is a movie that would have loved a 4k release

As would a good amount of the Disney library.

I'm excited that it has commentary too....I've enjoyed the fact that all but the first Iron Man has one, when it comes to Marvel Studios releases....Way to keep it going, Marvel!!!

I'm a sucker for commentary tracks!
