Some movie franchises, by virtue of their subject matter, practically beg for the SteelBook collectible treatment on Blu-ray. Seriously, how perfect is it to own the ‘Iron Man’ films in metal cases? The latest entry, this summer’s mega-blockbuster ‘Iron Man 3’, will get an exclusive SteelBook in the UK.

Once again, UK retailer Zavvi scores a major exclusive to entice SteelBook collectors. This one is scheduled for release on September 9th:<\/p>\n

I think the design is pretty classy, and it goes well with the (now out of print) ‘Iron Man’ SteelBook from Future Shop in Canada and the Target-exclusive MetalPak edition of ‘Iron Man 2’ that I already have in my collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not to mention the ‘Avengers’ Steelbook that was offered by both Future Shop in Canada and Best Buy in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, while Zavvi will ship to the United States, initial specs indicate that the ‘Iron Man 3’ disc will be locked to Region B. The listing also makes no mention of including the 3D version of the movie. I suppose that if you’re a dedicated collector, you might want to buy this just for the case, and then also buy the American Blu-ray edition to put into it.<\/p>\n

[Update: The disc is 2D only, but it’s actually region-free.]<\/p>\n

If that strikes your fancy, you can preorder the SteelBook from Zavvi<\/a> before it sells out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
