Amazon To Give Free Copy Of THE AVENGERS To Fans Who Pre-Ordered "Phase One" Box Set

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled box set was first revealed, it was met with a great deal of excitement from fans. Featuring all six of the Marvel Studios movies released so far over ten discs, it was set to be released in a replica of the briefcase used by Nick Fury in the superhero ensemble and would also include a glowing replica of the Tesseract. However, a German luggage firm filed a lawsuit because of the similarities between the replica briefcase being used for this set and one of their products, delaying the release until Spring 2013. Well, fans who pre-ordered the set through Amazon were sent the following message promising them a very nice piece of compensation for the inconveniece.
