Thor: The Dark World (Pre-orders up!)

[arrowmaker]

Pre-ordered the steelbook and took advantage of the £9.99 Jungle Book offer. Makes the Thor 2 price tag a bit more bearable.

Nice cover but once again Ecclestone the main villain has been snubbed!!! Not even having his name appear in the poster or the Blu Ray cover! Hiddlestone was amazing in the film but he was not the main villain of the movie he was a supporting role. If Michael Shannon's zod didn't have his name listed on the cover of man of steel or the poster people would be in uproar. Classic marvel marketing milk Loki and the main focus of the movie can go sit in the dark... Not impressed marvel On a positive note it is a nice cover. if it wasn't for Malekith not being on it or listed then I'd say it was perfect.

THOR THE DARK WORLD (FEATURE WITH AUDIO COMMENTARY)

I hope the Marvel One-Shot is the Ben Kingsley project he was talking about (as they're rarely specifically connected to the film they share a disc with) but it could be connected to Thor and be a quick look at

[Show spoiler]Loki assuming the role of Odin - though it's equally likely any of that will wait until the sequel.

Details on (and photos of) the 'All Hail the King' one-shot - following the further adventures of Ben Kingsley's character from Iron Man 3.

£24.99 ?! Zavvi are just taking the piss now.

Kinda matches the IM3 2D version actually. Looking forward to see what the 3D looks like

99.9% sure it'll be identical to the Portuguese cover. Portugal and UK always have the same artwork.

Don't like the Zavvi SB artwork so cancelled. 3D amaray it is then....

Ah ok then. Aye looks alright to me although I think i prefer the look of the 2D version. Will just have to wait to compare. Hopefully the slipcover will be as nice as the IM3 one

He meant the slipcover on the 3D edition

Amazon have now reduced the 3D version to £18 to compete with Zavvis 10% off

I usually have to wait 4 or 5 days with Amazons super saver delivery. I haven't ordered much from Zavvi, are their delivery times any good?

If Zavvi have stock then they are very good for pre-orders as they usually ship early so get for the Saturday or Monday (release day). They can be hit and miss with titles as with some of the smaller studios like Arrow, Eureka and BFI their stock can be sporadic so you can get some a week or more late (although to give Zavvi credit they have improved in the last year).

Thanks, good to hear they are improving. With Sainsburys going on-demand, i'll give Zavvi a try for a couple of pre-orders.

Doesn't look like there's a slip...

I reckon there will be but Amazon have taken to putting up artwork without the slip. When Wreck-it Ralph came out they had a picture with the slipcover but nobody received a copy with it and so some folk complained. A couple of days later the slipcover pictured was removed.
