The Avengers Phase One Blu-ray/DVD collector’s set is finally available today, and included are some behind-the-scene videos, as well as first looks at Marvel’s Phase Two.
Back in August it was reported that Marvel/Disney was being sued by a German luggage company due to Marvel’s use of the Tesseract case design which was going to hold the 10-disc collector’s set which was to hit stores this past September, this of course delayed the the set’s release and today, it is finally available for purchase.
Fans who pre-ordered the set from Amazon received a Blu-ray/DVD copy of The Avengers for free back in September, as Amazon agreed to take care of their customers who held out and kept their pre-orders of the collector’s set. Below you’ll find the official press release which provides all the specific details of the Marvel Phase One collector’s set, which includes even more bonus features due to the delay.
