The 10 disc set you're referring to was available on Amazon. I saw a Youtube video showcasing it and if the video was any indication, the cardboard cases looked flimsy and the overall package looked cheap.

I remember reading on Twitter there was a legal spat between Disney/Buena Vista along with Marvel and a briefcase manufacturer that claimed likeness infringement so the release of the set was delayed. There's been talk that it may not even be released at all.

The Best Buy steelbook I picked up yesterday contained a $10 Sideshow Collectibles coupon plus you get a $7.50 credit toward the purchase of the film in-store. The case itself has a nice design, colored in black, has a nice Avengers logo on the front and has a prominent SHIELD logo on the back. Inside the case you'll find a copy of the artwork that's on the 3D release of the film in a panoramic style. It was first come first served and could only be purchased in-store. There was a blurb about it on their website but that has since been removed.

The Wal-Mart exclusive is the standard Blu-Ray/DVD combo release that is being released with a 100 page graphic novel but doesn't have the 3D version of the film included. Since I plan to be upgrading to 3D soon and have the recent 3D Marvel releases (excepting Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance) this particular exclusive wasn't an option for me.

Pricing seems to be even between Wal-Mart and Best Buy so it comes down to what you want for your library. I liked the design of the Best Buy steelbook so I went with that. If 3D isn't a big deal and you want the graphic novel then the Wal-Mart version will probably be just fine.
