Marvel Studios Cinematic Collection Phase 2

We got phase one and was so happy with it we ordered phase two.

I was thoroughly impressed with Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One , with its collectible replica suitcase holding the Tesseract, along with lots of physical bonus content. That suitcase was a delight to open and made me feel like I was part of the movies. Phase Two attempts to replicate that emotion by presenting you with a reproduction of an Infinity Stone in its Orb (as featured in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'), along with a bunch of other bonus content that puts you right in Marvel's Universe. The Orb splits apart like in the movie, with a locking mechanism to keep the halves together. There is a separate purple Infinity Stone you can place in the middle, with a hidden button in the Orb that lights the stone from an LED below. — MOVIES — The movie discs are located in sleeves in the back of the Orb display stand, but there is no mechanism to keep the sleeves in place so if you hold the display slanted, all the sleeves will slide out. The movie sleeves are designed in the same beautiful art direction as Phase One, so I love the consistency throughout these phases. Phase Two includes the following movies (Each has a Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, digital copy): • Iron Man 3 • Thor: The Dark World • Captain America: The Winter Soldier • Guardians of the Galaxy • Avengers: Age of Ultron • Ant-Man + Top Secret Bonus Disc (Which isn't very top secret, nor hidden. It's included in Bonus Disc sleeve.) — EXTRAS — Along with the Orb, you get extras in a square envelope that houses an assortment of in-movie memorabilia related to all the films [see photos]. There are not as high quality and in-depth as Phase One, but they are pretty cool. — DISNEY MOVIES ANYWHERE — Unlike Phase One, Phase Two provides digital copies of all the movies with DisneyMoviesAnywhere. Sign up for an account and you can link it to Amazon Video, iTunes, Google Play, and more. Once you link your accounts to Disney, your select Disney movies show up in all your other connected platforms. This makes the set much more valuable and accessible for people digitizing their collections. That also means the price will be higher. I think these days, digital copies are necessary for people buying any type of collector's edition. — SUMMARY — The price is reasonable considering you get the 3D Blu-ray discs, regular Blu-ray discs, digital copies, along with a cool Orb, and collectibles. Separately, these would cost more than the individual sets combined. Recommended.

Ultimate collectible for the ultimate Marvel Cinematic Universe fan. The Power Gem orb and stand are very cool and makes for great presentation. The discs themselves are housed in the back of the base of the statue. The discs themselves are all standard: Blu Ray & Blu Ray 3D discs with all of the original features that came out on the original Blu Ray releases of the movies. The key disc in the set is the Bonus Features disc which provides an in-depth Phase 1/Phase 2 Retrospective with a preview of what's coming in Phase 3 with Captain America: Civil War, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. This disc alone made the set worth buying. My only complaint with this set: the Phase 1 set is a case that is also able to house the extra prop items/files along with the discs and the Tesseract prop. This Phase 2 set, however, comes with a folder full of props from the six Phase 2 movies, but there is nowhere to keep them, so you have to store them either in a desk drawer or just put the folder underneath the base of the Orb stand.

Any diehard MCU fan will go nuts over this box set.

Started collecting marvel movies and this is great! Current price comes to about $30/movie which is about what they cost for 3D/blu/dig standalone anyways but this comes with some amazing extras. They really nailed the details on the smaller stuff, like the tiny replicas from the movies (name tags, sticky notes, news paper clippings etc) but even if you aren't into that stuff you still get an amazing bonus disc with all the marvel One shots, exclusive deleted scenes and bonus features. It all stores in a nice replica of the orb and its stand from Gaurdians of the galaxy I was also lucky enough to accidentally receive two pages of codes for all the digital copies instead of one so I gave the extras to a friend. Basically if you know you want all the marvel movies, get this while the price is low. Hell even as an investment this might be a good buy if it turns out anything like phase 1 (which went from less than $200 to $600). Comes highly recommended. Can't wait for thenohase 3 box set

Marvel Studios Cinematic Collection Phase 2: (Blu-Ray): I was only dimly aware of the major Marvel superheroes and knew that there were a growing number of movies about them. But I didn't watch any because I wanted to see them in order. I finally bit the bullet and bought MCU Phases One, Two & Three (parts 1 & 2) Blu ray collections. The boxes/cases were all in perfect condition. I only care about the discs. They load and play flawlessly on my Panasonic player through a mid-level Sony amp into a Vizio 55" OLED tv. All are equally excellent. And then everything became available thru streaming. Oh well. There's still nothing like the satisfaction of seeing physical media on my shelf, ready to play without any streaming subscriptions. Highly recommended.

BLU RAY DISCS WORK IN US (read more below) To all of you Marvel fans out there looking at this collection who are worried about the regional locks on this product, I have potentially good news for you. I’ve been looking for a collection like this for years. Every time I would see collections like these, they were either extremely overpriced or regional locked to somewhere like the UK. The earlier reviews on this collection make it seem like these movies are regional locked and I would like to clear things up a bit… I finally got tired of waiting an obvious U.S. collection and purchased both the phase 1 collection and phase 2 collection in BLU RAY (I’ll say that part again… I bought the BLU RAY version of the collections) and they work fine on Blu Ray players in the United States. I have tested these movies on a PS4 and on a normal LG Blu Ray player and they play perfectly fine. Now, while I cannot personally vouch for the DVD’s, from everything I’ve read above, it appears that the DVD’S ARE REGIONAL LOCKED TO THE UK. I’m sorry for those of you looking for the DVD collection; however, for any of you fellow nerds out there craving either the MCU Phase 1 or Phase 2 movies in Blu Ray, these collections are perfect for you. As an added perk to owning all of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 movies, I would also add that I really enjoy the packaging these collections come in. I’ve purchased several collections over the years (from star wars, to Indiana Jones, to Harry Potter, to the Extended LOTR movies) and this is, by far, one of my favorite collections in regards to how they organize the movies. It’s a simple stack of clear, page-like, plastic blu ray slots for each movie. No crappy/fancy cardboard sleeves you have to pull out to get to each of your movies… I hope this review helps some fellow nerd out there! (one more time… The BLU RAY collection works in the US… The DVD’s do NOT work in the US)

The only real standout here is the replica of the Orb from Guardians of the Galaxy, which is so much more detailed than the corresponding Tesseract prop from the Phase 1 box set, and the fact the the Orb actually HAS an Infinity Stone included fills me with geeky excitement. That being said, the Phase 1 collection set the bar so high in everything else that this one feels a little underwhelming. The Phase 1 set had a clear theme going on, between all the little props being held in separate files, the ID card that came with it, and the briefcase to hold it all, it made you feel like a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. All of the items felt like little snippets that S.H.I.E.L.D. could have feasibly collected, which gave the entire collection a sense of unity. With the Phase 2, you have the Orb from Guardians... and then everything else is held inside a replica of the Russian file from Winter Soldier. They're both cool things, but it doesn't feel like they belong together the same way all the stuff from Phase 1 did. Adding to that, the little knickknacks they included in the Phase 2 set feel much less substantial and cool. There's pictures, there's replica drawings, stickers, and even a temporary tattoo, but nothing quite as awesome and complete as Arc Reactor blueprints or personnel files on S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents or property, albeit heavily redacted ones. There's also a lot less functionality in how this collection was put together compared to the first phase. Phase 1 gave you a briefcase to hold everything in that made it really easy to keep track of everything and carry it around with you. This collection has the Orb itself, the stand (and as far as I can tell there's no way to attach the Orb TO the stand), and the file, with nothing to put it all in besides the big box that it originally came in, and unless you want to painstakingly reinsert the packaging every time it's all going to rattle around in there. Also, while I like the idea of using the Orb stand to hold the discs, it really could have used a latch of some kind so that the movies won't go sliding out if you tilt it the wrong way. All in all, I'm glad I bought it, and I'd say it's a worthwhile purchase for anyone who's a die-hard fan of these movies. I just hope Marvel steps their game up if and when they do a Phase 3 collection, because the design of this box set just can't match up to Phase 1.

Una colección excelente de la fase 2 de marvel, aunque en lo personal me gustó más el maletín de la fase 1 este no está mal, contiene todas las películas de la fase 2 en blu-ray y blu-ray 3D El envío super rápido

Plaisir

Really good go for it.but keep an eye I got it for 3500 rs/.6movies with 6discs.3d.

Brilliant

If you like collecting boxsets, and love marvel - this is for you! Bonus features are nice, all the different menus are nice, it is just generally nice and worth the money. I would have liked the blu-ray set but I think this is discontinued or just really expensive. But I am happy with my phase 1 and 2 set and all the video-quality. Not sure what they will do for Phase 3 in regards to the posters etc, but will be interesting to see. Might be worth waiting till Phase 3 ends just in case they release a full box set of phase 1 2 and 3!
