Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Two (Iron Man 3 / Thor: The Dark World / Captain America: The Winter Soldier / Guardians of the Galaxy / Avengers: Age of Ultron / Ant-Man)(Amazon Exclusive)

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.

Look what we got for our anniversary. I'm so glad I married a geeky girl so we can get cool things like this to commemorate our love. We got the first one because they suckered us with the replica props and our very own tesseract. We liked it enough to get Phase 2.The first go around I loved the replica props and how they were arranged by movie and made to look like they came from official SHEILD files. They would be fun to display someday. The tesseract was disappointing. Looked cheep, but it kind of lit up a bit.For Phase 2 it was the opposite. The packaging and the infinity stone looked really cool, but the replica props were not on the same level as Phase 1. There are some cool props but I feel like there are less in Phase 2 and that they aren't as interesting. I took pictures of everything so you can check them out for yourself on my blog (http://wp.me/p19qVZ-vi).Thor: The Dark World has some really cool pages for being one of the weakest movies of the phase. But my favourite is the one page contract that the Avengers have to sign that causes the Civil War in a couple of months.I wonder if the packaging was determined by which movie was the most popular and got the most buzz? Everything comes in the orb from Guardians of the Galaxy instead of something from Age of Ultron which brings all these movies together—kind of. Either way the orb looks legit. It'll go nice on our book case of geekdom.The only complaint I have about the packaging is there is no built in place to put the replica props once they're out of the box. I ended up putting them in the tesseract case with the Phase 1 stuff.So should you get this? On Amazon.com (do not use amazon.ca if you can avoid it. It's always more expensive) this is $180. There are 6 blue rays and 3d movies in here which outside the box set costs $159 (you can get them for cheaper if you don't want 3d or special editions). So would I pay an extra $20 for the orb and other replica props?Absolutely yes.Our family has moved beyond getting individual movies just to watch whenever we want. The last time we bought a bunch of movies (Except for our boxing day tradition of getting a few $3 blue rays) was Phase 1. Adding the extras is almost the only thing that will get me to buy more movies. I hope others follow suit.Maybe Star Wars will come with a replica Lightsaber!

日本では恐らく今後数年（十数年？）先まで出る事がなかろう、MCUのセットボックス第2弾です。フェイズ１コレクションの特典があまりに素晴らしかった事から、かなりの期待感がありましたが、今回はセット内容がまとめて保存できるケース（前回のアタッシュケース的な）が無くオーブの台座にディスクのみ収納という形になっています。収納ケース：オーブは本編同様中央部で分割出来、中にはパワーストーンが！　　　　　 電蝕付きで光るのですが、ストーン自体を押して点灯させる仕組は微妙…　　　　　 オーブ本体を飾る台座の一辺にディスクを全て収納できます。付属特典　：前回同様クオリティは高いもののかなりボリュームダウンした印象。　　 　　　 ですが、全作鑑賞した人には嬉しいプロップである事は間違いありません。ディスク　 ：今回は特典ディスク以外は全て３Dと通常BDの2枚組です。　　　 　　 それもあって価格はフェイズ１セットより高くなっていると思われます。　　　　　 （2年前の購入時は38,500円でした）　　　 　 　勿論今回も日本語字幕・吹替えはありません。特典ディスク：各作品の未公開シーンおよびプレビズ、MCU世界観のガイド的ビデオ等。　　　　　 良かったのはマーベル・ワンショットが全作収められており、これ一枚で　　　　 　 サクッと短編全てが鑑賞できます。総　評　　 ：フェイズ１セットに比べ特典全ての面において若干見劣りするものの　　　　　 ディスクケース（厚紙）デザインのカッコ良さと統一感は満足でき、　　　　　 決して安い買い物ではありませんが前回同様お勧めです！　　　　 　 2019年の年末には出るであろうフェイズ３のセットも今から楽しみです。
