Art of Marvel Studios Slipcase Edition…

Has anybody else noticed the prices of certain “Art of” books?  Prices through the roof…..I mean Art of Monsters Inc is a $150-$180 book all day long, and most of the Dreamworks and Pixar film art books are expensive.  I started to notice that The Art of Iron Man 1 and The Art of Iron Man 2 (2 of my favorite movies by the way) were fetching $60-$75 individually.  Oh well, guess I can live without those in the collection…lol!  I happen to stumble across this set online…

I had to have it!  Not only would I get Iron Man 1 & 2, but Art of Thor & Art of Captain America for $150 all in a slipcase.  I happened to catch this set for under $100 thanks to the holidays and just received it today.  The books are beautifully done inside and out.  It even came with a limited Avengers poster for the upcoming movie.  Check out the pics below (which are not my books, but found pics online because this beast is too big for my scanner!!)
