You did a bit better than me. I paid somewhere between $75 or $80 or so.... however I bought them ALL within the last month, have no idea what the "Top secret bonus disc" is, and had to resort to ebay BiN for Thor/Avengers. Oh well, at least I beat you on Captain America 3D, only paid $12 for it new Beat you on Avengers 3D too......• Marvel’s The Avengers film (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray) $20
• Captain America: The First Avenger film (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray) $15
• Thor film (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray) $15
• Iron Man 2 film (Blu-ray) $5
• The Incredible Hulk film (Blu-ray) $5
• Iron Man film (Blu-ray) $5
• Top-secret Bonus Disc

Total Cost $65 Plus taxes a year ago
They can be had for cheaper but it will take some effort and patience, but yeah you sure as hell can't waltz up to Wal-Mart or Amazon or Best Buy and do any better.I wish they would sell a cheaper regular phase one set. Also buying them individually is probably as expensive if not more than getting this set at that price. Ugh.
To be fair you got blurays, not 3D blu rays, and that is a big distinction. The standard Marvel Blu rays are still (mostly) overpriced as hell, but they aren't quite as bad as the 3D versions.That is ridiculous! Last Friday I got:
Avengers blu/dvd combo - 7.95
Thor The Dark World blu - 9.95
Captain America blu/dvd - 6.00
Iron Man 2 - 7.95
Iron Man 3 blu/dvd - 7.95
They were all used from the local pawn shop but were all in immaculate condition or else I wouldn't have bought them. I agree with everyone else, the Marvel blu-rays are shockingly overpriced at retail.
Yeah I noticed that in the Amazon reviews, the case/cube seem to be as cheap as can be. But the cube is just a cube isn't it? I was confused how everyone classifies it as "cheap". Is it poorly detailed or something?I got this set from MovieStop a few months ago and...it's not worth it. The case and Tesseract cube feel cheap and the physical extras are not secured very well in the case. And the bonus disc extras are extremely weak.
WOW! You aren't kidding! I just price checked some of those, my jaw is still on the floor. How in the hell do they justify stuff like that?To be fair you got blurays, not 3D blu rays, and that is a big distinction.

And I can't wait for everyone aside from you and Confucious to ignore himMAN I can't wait for kilik64 to catch up on this thread...
I can't understand how they can sell anything like that. The only thing I can figure out is that all the other comic fans build all this hype around a shared universe, as if that somehow magically makes the stories/plot/effects/ect of the individual movies any better. I never saw the appeal honestly.WOW! You aren't kidding! I just price checked some of those, my jaw is still on the floor. How in the hell do they justify stuff like that?
'nuff said. I keep forgetting about that.for those who say these are overpriced just remember one word, disney lol
I'm not believing this. AFAIK from the BD forum indian member, the official BD discs are expensive there; maybe you think you got originals while they were BD bootlegs instead....
Luckily for me I am going to travel to India soon and I love finding all the cheap blus there, the best part is they are dirt cheap even for the official ones (meaning not bootlegs)

----------------------------------
This set was on sale/special/whatever from amazon a few days back, I think it was like half off.
lol thanks for accepting my point then?
what reviews you want me to read? the amazon.com (usa reviews) that are below the indian reviews?read the reviews for the VCD version not blu-ray, heck it even included and ad for the avengers movie in theaters inside the case.
Hope they are real, but like I said, other people that collect BD in India have told me otherwise. There are bootleg copies in BD-25 so you get pretty decent almost 1:1 copy of most BDs; these are the better higher costing bootlegs since they are not compressed into a DVD, it happens a lot with DIsney movies on eBay for example. Enjoy your trip!Sorry typo in my previous post. I mean those are reviews for the 2/5 are for VCD version here to be clear this costs $.81 so you definitely get what you paid for http://www.amazon.in/Captain-America-Chris-Evans/dp/B006O2NSCK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1406764167&sr=8-9&keywords=captain+america
In case you don't know a VCD is just a normal CD that plays in a DVD players
Better way to explain why these people are complaining is that they are trying to watch a 2 hr 5 min movie which is being provided in less than 700 mb of data, and they dont really understand how data compression works.
The Blu Ray included officials ads for the movies, and it even was advertising the fact that avengers was coming out the next year.
I highly doubt a bootlegger would go through that much effort to sell something, but whatever. I am happy it plays fine for me, and looks great.
