Marvel Studios Cinematic Collection Phase 2

Love these movies

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.

I bought this in 2019 after I finally jumped on the Marvel Universe bandwagon. It was a great value at the time and I had this item until this year, when I finally decided to sell it. I ended up buying all the movies online and digitizing my DVD/Blu-ray collection. This is a great buy to get a bulk of the Marvel Studios Collection or for any serious Marvel DVD/Blu-ray collectors that still want the movies on disc.

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)

This reveiw is strictly in refference to the items included with the set not the movies themselves...... Having owned Phase One since it released, I was scared and excited for this when it went up for preorder, but being the marvel fan that I am, I had to have it...... I was excited cause the paper props and replicas in the first set were excellent, scared because the Tessaract, well let's face it, was garbage....... This set is kind of the opposite, The Orb is amazing, really nice quality. Tho the orb uses a white led, I feel they could have gotten a better effect using a brighter purple led. But thats a minor annoyance, from someone whos really picky.....The paper props however, while being a good quality, left some thing to be desired. It honestly felt like "Well we ran out of things to include so why not some temporary tattoos and a set of crappy bar coasters" its not that those items are bad quality, and a lot of people will probably like them, they just didnt make sense to me as a hardcore Marvel fan and collector.....Regardless of my nit picks, definitely definitely definitely worth every dollar spent.....
