In late January they changed the price from $129 to $150 each. Glad I bought them right before the increase, they arrived with the new $150 price stickers already attached! Waited just long enough to get a double 20% discount, bringing them down to $82.50 each :)
They'll be back down again, and will be even cheaper with the Buy-1-Get-1-Free sale in a few months, but sounds like you got an awesome deal regardless! Good stuff1
I'm trying to figure out knowing that having a 65x900e if I should wait until the movies are released on 4k or just get the blu ray ones and the 4k ones that are available of the marvel movies
Honestly, its gonna be a looooong time before they all get 4K releases. Disney haven't even started releasing catalog titles in 4K yet, so, I don't see these on the horizon very soon
should i get the boxset or try and track down steelbooks for each movie?(if there are steels for each movie) really not a fan of the covers in these boxsets , i'd even be happy with the regular covers. atleast the movies are individually packaged
Pretty sure there's steelbooks for each version, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg for some of the older ones. Maybe the UK sets will be more your style? They don't come with the same cool memorabelia stuff but they're packaged in nice digibooks. Probably the way I'd opt if I wanted new box sets
hoping i could find them on facebook pages or something second hand ebay prices are crazy! wheres the best place to get these UK sets? im not really too bothered about the memorabilia (phase 2 set seems to be lacking) but i would like the extra discs in the sets
Yeah secondhand prices for those things go nuts. Zavvi SOMETIMES does re-presses but haven’t seen them do them for ages. Amazon Uk will be your best bet. It’s the only place I’ll buy UK sets from. Also keep in mind, you’ll get your items cheaper by about 10% at checkout because it’ll automatically take off the VAT tax (their GST), which you won’t have to pay. Usually makes up for the shipping costs. Other UK pages charge you the VAT. Sadly, the UK sets don’t include the bonus discs.
If only the UK Phase 1 Set included the Bonus Discs from Iron Man 1 & 2 along with the Building a Cinematic Universe Disc from Avengers Assemble like the Australian Version.
This was the video i watched last year that made me discover this awesome channel, rewatching it since Phase 3 Part 1 came out today at JB. So sad about Stan Lee. He will be missed
It’s amazing to see how massive comic book movies have become,years ago you would never imagine that we get a avenger movie let alone a whole universe,now we are entering phase 3 and probably we will get a set for that too.
Yeah, it’s insane! Comic book movies were few and far between when I was growing up. We’re in the Golden Age of comic book movies, and it’s incredible! More than likely will get a Phase 3 set in a couple of years - I imagine these will get a re-release also
Dave Lee Down Under thanks for the reply. Posted this comment a bit too early, hadn't finished watching where you explained that. I have both US versions but I'm going to downgrade to the Aus version instead😁
Hi Dave, very informative video, think if I were to get them (I'm not) I would go for the Australian version as it looks the best, loved your vlog's btw. Great you got to see Stan Lee again pity you weren't the fan your are now the first time around.
Thanks, Alan! Yeah, I think I'd go for it over the UK sets too! It was fantastic -- the first time he was out here, there seemed to be less personell with him too. He was just chilling out backstage at one point while I was there in the media room. Would've been easier to get some kind of interaction with him then. Oh well, I still had a blast!
I’m glad you mentioned the JB discounts because I was gonna say after watching your UK set video I went and bought both phases from Zavvi and it was AUD$130 for both! $130 for one set is way too much!!
I guess the price difference lies in the Aus set having a tonne more discs. But who needs the DVDs these days. Sounds like you got a great deal on the UK sets
sherbetpictures I wasn't able to find them! Would you be kind enough to send a link. I'm leaning more on the simple UK sets but really want those documents that come with the other versions.
Heya sure I got them from Zavvi and they arrived today! Here's the link www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/marvel-studios-collector-s-edition-box-set-phase-1/11580556.html
I'm going get them when the buy 1 get 1 free sale maybe depends if I get anxious on them leaving the store I once bought a box set and didn't get the second limited edition version... worst desision ever!
Sounds like a great choice. I’ve done that before man. It sucks. I don’t imagine they’d press an extremely limited number of these sets, they’ll sell like hot cakes. Unless they’re numbered or they disclose a production size, they’re not going to go anywhere too soon. Just keep your eyes on them
Packaging is MUCH nicer on the UK sets, I must say. But the 'bonus' merch is a little lackluster. I like that the Aussie sets come with those extra bonus discs and all the cool merch the big US sets came with. I was at my local JB this morning and they still have stacks of them -- hold off on buying them until a sale, these will stick around for ages.
Those covers, while consistent, are so ugly. I could make that on microsoft paint. it looks like you won't get slipcovers with them too, which is a bummer for people wanting that Incredible Hulk slipcover to complete the collection!
Hahahha, I admit I thought the same when I first saw them -- but they've grown on me. I think they're lazy, but work well in a simplistic set like this. But, I agree, they deserve better and I certainly don't like them enough to dip on them again. And yep, don't think they'll have slips - which is a shame.
How much do you think importing one of them to UK would cost?

Dave Lee Down Under yea I know the incredible hulk comes out next month on 4k but no news about the rest
should i get the boxset or try and track down steelbooks for each movie?(if there are steels for each movie) really not a fan of the covers in these boxsets , i'd even be happy with the regular covers. atleast the movies are individually packaged

I’m really regretting not getting these back when they came out. At least I can get the Phase 3 ones :/
It’s good us Aussies get the bonus discs because we get ripped off we have BS prices on movies sometimes and we don’t get the slipcovers.
Idk if I should wait until phase 3 is finished in case if they do another box set collection or get these now
Like would phase 3 come out in the same design as this
It’s amazing to see how massive comic book movies have become,years ago you would never imagine that we get a avenger movie let alone a whole universe,now we are entering phase 3 and probably we will get a set for that too.
Yeah, it’s insane! Comic book movies were few and far between when I was growing up. We’re in the Golden Age of comic book movies, and it’s incredible!
More than likely will get a Phase 3 set in a couple of years - I imagine these will get a re-release also
Will you be buying the phase 3 part 1 box? Comes out November :) JB Hifi
Probably not, I have all the movies individually :)
where else could you get these?
Which jbhifi did u go to
Im in Aus and have Phase 1 and 2 sets and just got phase 3 part 1 set
When do you rekon these will be on sale again this year?
Couldn’t predict when their sticker price will drop again, but there’ll be a “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” in May, which is the cheapest you’ll get these for.
Dave Lee Down Under thanks for the reply. Posted this comment a bit too early, hadn't finished watching where you explained that. I have both US versions but I'm going to downgrade to the Aus version instead😁
Hi! I am from Chile. Your videos are great. It this box set region free?
Hellooo Chile!! :D
Thanks very much.
They definitely should be -- Disney don't region lock their discs.
Ace The Star Wars box set was released by 20th Century Fox and they have a habit for disc locking.
Hi Dave, very informative video, think if I were to get them (I'm not) I would go for the Australian version as it looks the best, loved your vlog's btw. Great you got to see Stan Lee again pity you weren't the fan your are now the first time around.

Do any of the box sets include the digital copies of each movie?
Only the US sets
nice box sets.
hi dave. i haven't been able to speak to you because i have been away. these look great
All good man - don't expect everyone to comment every day haha.
They look fantastic.
fantastic indeed (i feel bad i missed out on the black Friday special at JB)
Phase 1: Meh
Phase 2: Oh yeah this is good now
Phase 3: Fucking perfection
😍😍😍😍😍
I’ll agree with that, only movies I REALLY loved in Phase 1 were Iron Man and The Avengers

Just keep your eyes on them
They did add the incredible hulk!
Yesss, very interesting that they did, and with the new cover art!
Dave Lee Down Under yeah! The cover pumped me up!
I was going to get the UK ones and found this video, now I can't decide and might get both
Packaging is MUCH nicer on the UK sets, I must say. But the 'bonus' merch is a little lackluster.
I like that the Aussie sets come with those extra bonus discs and all the cool merch the big US sets came with.
I was at my local JB this morning and they still have stacks of them -- hold off on buying them until a sale, these will stick around for ages.
Is this gonna be in The USA
Probably not, the USA has the big box sets.
Dave Lee Down Under Good to know might buy it online and thanks!😁😄
I’m so glad this is aussie
It's so great!
That shit's expensive here in NZ
Those covers, while consistent, are so ugly. I could make that on microsoft paint. it looks like you won't get slipcovers with them too, which is a bummer for people wanting that Incredible Hulk slipcover to complete the collection!
