Went to pay the deposit on Friday, but decided that £17 for a film that I didn't really like, in a poorly designed case wasn't a particularly good deal. Maybe if it's still around and reduced in price after Christmas I might go for it.

I'm really surprised people are still going to pay full price for that artwork. It's a frigging insult to all steelbook collectors. I loved the movie, one of my fave marvel movies but no way am I paying £17 for that black border. I need transformers to complete my set too but no way am I paying for the artwork and helping funding towards these stupid Steelbooks. Artwork is one of the most important aspect in buying a steelbook. If these sell well how many future steels will suffer the same fate? They look like printing errors and I sure hope they are cause if they start becoming the norm my interest in collecting will diminish rapidly

Why would you even buy it if you 'didn't really like' it? I mean why would you even consider it? I certainly don't buy films i don't really like!

If by some miracle we've all been wrong on this and it is in fact a 3D steel, please let us know. I'm sure it's not and it's 2D but you know, just in case.

I won't be able to get to a HMV till lunchtime.

Picked it up in-store, I wasn't given a poster though? I assumed it was inside!

Same here. I didn't assume it was inside (derp, its huge dude). Just wasn't given one.

The posters in HMV Oxford Street in London were in a box behind the counter rolled up in plastic.

Because when I decided to go and pay for it, I was going to give it another go - there's certainly films I've disliked first time round, but then ended up quite enjoying. But the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to buy it (it's mainly the design that's put me off).
