I think this steelbook looks cool but something tells me a lot of collectors will hate it. Thanks for the thread.

laz305 · 10-09-2015, 10:59 AM

I'll wait for the $20 pre order to pop up. They didn't adjust my Avengers so....

TheCollector86 · 10-09-2015, 12:05 PM

that steelbook is ugly, a damn shame.

VanDammage80 · 10-09-2015, 12:28 PM

I kind of like it. Will definitely pre-order it.

JustAnEpicPerson · 10-09-2015, 12:31 PM

I have mixed feelings about the steel, but I think I'll preorder this one eventually.

imsounoriginal · 10-09-2015, 12:32 PM

Not what I expected, will hold off judgment til I see the whole art. The J-card kinda makes it hard to tell. Buying it no matter what anyway.

jason00 · 10-09-2015, 12:48 PM

Thanks, I was wondering when this would go up. I actually was thinking on the ride to work this morning that it would be cool if it was just a small Ant Man on the cover, so I like the artwork.

BurningAstronaut · 10-09-2015, 01:25 PM

I like this look a lot — the circuit board interior, the tiny scale of Ant-Man very much in line with previous marketing — overall a playful design not unlike the Guardians of the Galaxy walkman.

I dig that they're thinking of the packaging as a means of conveying the character vs. just floating heads/poster design we see too often; and it differentiates the steel book from the regular release which I'm sure will have the poster art.

What's awful is the color and design of the j-card. Not quite in the red/black/silver color scheme of Ant-man.

rickah88 · 10-09-2015, 02:10 PM

How long did it take them to come up with that? 3 minutes?

tee-dub · 10-09-2015, 02:12 PM

Finally it's available. Pre-ordered for shipping, so here's hoping they package it as well as they did for the Ultron release with that extra cardboard padding.

Anyway, those j-cards will be thrown away afterwards.

Well shipping option is available but not pick up in store. I'll hold off for a while and wait to pre-order when it hits that 19.99 mark. Don't need to go thru the whole trouble of calling, emailing, etc. to get the price adjustment.

You can go ahead and place an order now just to make sure you have it locked in, and then cancel and reorder if/when the price drops later. No one will hold you at fault for that. It's what I plan on doing

You don't have to call, email or really go to that much trouble

MifuneFan · 10-09-2015, 02:47 PM

It'll probably have some embossing and debossing, but it's still a little too boring for my tastes.

This and when I pre-ordered for Ultron they had the extra 100 reward points for pre-order and I was able to pre-order for in store pick up online. So I think I'll just keep my eyes peeled.

Not a very flattering steelbook but will still probably get it along with the 2d version I already have on order & a standard 3D if it comes with great artwork.

jimmyv · 10-09-2015, 03:16 PM

you've got to be kidding

kryptonite1970 · 10-09-2015, 03:47 PM

an image of Ant-Man's helmet on the cover with some embossing would've been better...
