As a new year begins, many things in this world look uncertain. As far as Blu-ray collecting goes, fortunately, we can still look forward to the latest big blockbusters getting SteelBook editions.

Mary Poppins Returns<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $34.99<\/p>\n

Disney’s huge winning streak keeps on rolling. The studio’s 50-year-late sequel to its musical classic has been a big hit with both critics and audiences. The artwork on the Best Buy SteelBook is perhaps not tremendously exciting, but does its job without turning into a garish mess, as could have easily happened. <\/p>\n

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

Video Formats: Blu-ray
\nAvailable at: Zavvi (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: \u00a324.99<\/p>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: Zavvi (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: \u00a332.99<\/p>\n

The UK editions from Zavvi currently have temp art with a different image. I expect that the two regions will probably align before release. <\/p>\n

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

The next few discs are all still in the temp art stage. (Aquaman<\/em> doesn’t even have that much.) I list them here mostly so that interested readers have a chance to put in preorders. <\/p>\n

Aquaman<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/DVD
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $29.99<\/p>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $34.99<\/p>\n

The Best Buy listings currently only display poster images for the latest DC superhero spectacle. I’m not going to bother pasting that in here. <\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/DVD
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $32.99<\/p>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray
\nAvailable at: Zavvi (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: \u00a323.99<\/p>\n

Between the character’s solo movies (a new one due in 2019), his appearances in the Avengers<\/em> crossovers, and now an animated spinoff, the onset of Spider-Man fatigue seems like an inevitability. It hasn’t happened yet, though. In fact, word-of-mouth on the cartoon version has been pretty great. <\/p>\n

Once again, Best Buy’s page has only a poster image. Zavvi’s placeholder gives us no hint of the final design. Disappointingly, both listings are for Blu-ray only, with neither Ultra HD nor 3D options available. I hope that changes closer to release. <\/p>\n

\"Spider-Man:<\/a><\/p>\n

Bumblebee<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray
\nAvailable at: Zavvi (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: \u00a321.99<\/p>\n

The first Transformers<\/em> movie without Michael Bay at the helm is also the first I might actually consider paying to see in the theater. (I haven’t done it yet.) I’ve heard good things.<\/p>\n

Zavvi’s temp art at least has a design on it, even if it doesn’t wind up being the final image. No sign of Ultra HD or 3D for this one either, sadly, but I have a feeling that a UHD version will turn up at Best Buy later.<\/p>\n

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

Bumblebee Update<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $34.99<\/p>\n

As predicted, Best Buy will indeed have an Ultra HD SteelBook for Bumblebee<\/em>. The artwork is OK, as far as these comic book-style cases go. (It looks more like a child’s sketchbook doodle, honestly.)<\/p>\n
