Revealed via the official UK Facebook page for Avengers Assemble, UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's are offering an exclusive deal on the upcoming Blu-ray release of the movie which fans on this side of the pond will find hard to turn down. Not only does it come with "an exclusive sleeve", but also a disc which contains a 90-minute featurette called, "Marvel Studios: Building A Cinematic Universe". In North America, Target are offering a similar deal which includes the featurette. Also appealing is the low price - only £12.99. That's considerably less than most other retailers. You can find out more by clicking on the image below. We'll be sure to let you know of any other Avengers related bargains and bundles as the home video release draws closer.

Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

That is an unbeatable price... They know it will sell like crazy
marvel72 - 8/20/2012, 5:02 PM
i may have to get it from sainsbury's now,i wish the cover was better than that.
JakeDixon - 8/20/2012, 5:06 PM
If only it was Blu-Ray 3D!
Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:06 PM
That box art is ass, is it to much to ask for a simple "A" or a shield logo?
Mercwitham0uth - 8/20/2012, 5:08 PM
@Ha1frican

I agree. That box art is horrible.
Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:09 PM
Wait... so this is a movie starring American characters, from an American comic company, produced by an american company, and features a main character called CAPTAIN AMERICA and we dont get this... -______-

@Ha1frican

I believe US retailer Target has the same disc under a different name. It boasts 90 minutes of unseen bonus material, so i would assume so
Durf - 8/20/2012, 5:12 PM
Similar deal at Target you say? I think I know where I will be getting my Blu-Ray from...
Alex909 - 8/20/2012, 5:12 PM
I love the cover. Better than the crappy standard Blu-Ray cover we have in the UK, with just 4 members of the team.
Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:13 PM
Although i really shouldnt complain because of how many things are packed into the 3d bundle for us 'Mericans but even still UK gets it first too
Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 5:15 PM
@TheOnes for the standard BD or the 3d+dvd+DC version?
CPBuff22 - 8/20/2012, 5:15 PM
The feature should be in the Cinematic box set at least according to the plethora of emails I have been getting about it from Marvel.
TheOnes - 8/20/2012, 5:19 PM
@Ha1frican

No clue. It was one of the many things i came across a few weeks back while surfing some internet waves
eldeejo - 8/20/2012, 5:20 PM
What about Australia???
TrueRedBlue - 8/20/2012, 5:26 PM
Wow. That is awesome.
fettastic - 8/20/2012, 5:30 PM
So Target is also offering the "exclusive" Sainsbury's featurette?
BooYah - 8/20/2012, 5:46 PM
I actually like the cover. But I'm planning on getting that brief case. Anyone know how much that costs?
Bane2099 - 8/20/2012, 6:00 PM
Guess im going to Target lol
Bane2099 - 8/20/2012, 6:02 PM
@Ha1frican

Seriously man, I would've takena a simple black/dark blue background with a reflective Avengers A on the cover.

@Ha1frican:

^ Some steelbooks available worldwide.


I quite fancy that £12.99 Sainsburys exclusive one.
An alternative I may get is the HMV 'A' logo steelbook but that retails at £16 but it doesn't have the exclusive 90 min feature. I suppose the 90 min Sainsburys wotsit will be up on youtube before long after release anyway. I'm partial to a steelbook, they tend to accrue value and some of the plastic basic blu-ray cases are as fragile as hell anyway.
thunderforce - 8/20/2012, 6:17 PM
An appetizer before the main course .
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:22 PM
I bet the tesseract / cosmic cube in that 10-disc suitcase colllectors set is not as bright as that CGI animation depicts. I'd like to see a proper real-life photo of the suitcase and the cosmic cube.
Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 6:28 PM
@SimyJo i like those and appreciate you showing them to me, but usally those on't have as many features, could beregion locked or are justreally hard to find. I wish us yanks would get the awesome steelbooks europe seems to get for EVERY [frick]ing movie but sadly it didnt turn out that way
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:29 PM
If the 90 min Sainsburys exclusive is in 1080p HD I will get this - otherwise I'll watch it on youtube.
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:32 PM
Avengers 6-disc a mere £33.97 with code @Tesco Entertainment.

Ha1frican - 8/20/2012, 6:38 PM
@SimyJo could you possibly add links to those black "A" symbol steelbooks my good man ;)
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:42 PM
@Ha1frican. You are welcome.

The last steelbook I insisted on for myself was the 'Captain America: The First Avenger' one.

That was/is one seriously beautiful bit of packaging;
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:49 PM
@Ha1frican;

Sure.

@MrEcko- Thanks.
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 6:51 PM
The black 'A' logo one I believe is exclusive to HMV.co.uk in the U.K.

Its £16 currently.

NostalgicYouth - 8/20/2012, 7:10 PM
I hate how the posters for The Avengers are so Medicore even the Blu-Ray covers I was hoping they would change that is their a cooler looking one coming out at best- buy for the Americans?....because if so could anyone post a picture of it
kemuael - 8/20/2012, 7:11 PM
I Think the cover looks good.
NostalgicYouth - 8/20/2012, 7:11 PM
*there
fettastic - 8/20/2012, 7:19 PM
I'm sure that briefcase is as dissapointing as the Tron Legacy disc was. I was all excited to get it until I read early reviews that said it was chintsy crap. I read the same about the Batpod set for TDK.
ATrueHero1987 - 8/20/2012, 7:31 PM
Cool
SN: Shit getting real on CBM. They banned a ass of people! Now things will be a little more quieter....not really
jimdotbeep - 8/20/2012, 7:43 PM
Did they change the name of the Movie for UK theatures?
SimyJo - 8/20/2012, 7:50 PM
I wonder how many would of bought the Helicarrier concept (lol!);








Won't be long before we start seeing all the Blu-ray collectable stuff for TDKR as well;



look here for fun ideas;

I have 15 bucks in reward zone certificates from Best Buy but I really want the featurette that Target is getting. I will probably end up watching that on youtube unless Target had a good cheap price on it.
robster - 8/20/2012, 10:43 PM
Looks good. Now if only UK could get the TITLE OF THE MOVIE RIGHT! all would be great! I refuse to call it that and what if Avengers 2 get's that title? Will they call it that with a 2 in the UK? There never was a 1! ROFL! Just nitpicking of course. Still gonna order it from the US though.

J-R!
SimyJo - 8/21/2012, 3:16 AM
SimyJo - 8/21/2012, 6:06 AM
Btw: TDKR collectables shown purely in the context of showcasing some boxset concepts - not interested in partaking in that stupid Marvelite Vs Nolanite nonsense, just thought I'd make that clear.
dezdigi - 8/21/2012, 8:33 AM
Yeah, this is being advertised on Target's website here in the U.S. Other than price tag, I wish Amazon had an exclusive feature to compete with Target.
