Spoiler: Previous Updates

The release is from Disney, but not a Marvel film.
Released date: Jan 2015
Stay tuned for more exciting news!

Under such a busy circumstance, I don't want to stir the pot. Only one line here: It is not the Maleficent!

sorry to keep you waiting on this, guys. The artworks were rejected by the director on this unknown release. This might get cancelled but something from the past will likely replace this, it is also from Disney.

The artwork is rejected again. Another Disney movie (WEA) will replace this. The thread is locked.

(the design and the finish are still subject to change)
The inside and back arts will be published near the released date due to privacy reasons.

So what's so good about he blu fans? Someone tell me...

Apparantly you don't have one yet?

Just have a look here in the threads or on ebay and see for yourself.
Blufans is always trying to make the best steelbook out there with some incredible slips.

For me Blufans and Plainarchive are the best out there.

Yay! Have not purchased a blufans steelbook before. How does it work? Do you buy from their website, or do you have to join the group buy? Thanks~

You join a group buy, pay up front, wait 6-8 months for delivery, then receive a steelbook that started out glossy and ended up matte.

I don't see how this can have WEA either, the Worldwide release already has clouds on the cover.

 

[MissFishie]

Thanks for the reply, SlyFondle. If possible could I ask for a straight answer as well without the sarcasm? So a group buy on this forum is the only way to purchase this? Sorry if it's obvious, but why is that? Does Blufans only manufacture products for this forum?? That seems really strange/shady.

Blufans is a chinese retailer, they don't have a website that deals with international customers, so for most international collectors to get a hold of a blufans release, group buys are the way to go, be it on HDN or any other forum. That being said, keep watching this thread to find out if HDN will be hosting a GB for this title. Thanks.

It's not sarcasm, it's exactly what happened with the Blu-Fans 'Wall-E' steelbook.

 

[MissFishie]

Thanks Apollon for the straight answer! That was the useful information that I actually wanted to know!

 

[Drum18]

Yeah... unfortunately the 6-8 months delay was/is STANDARD for Blufans... but in the past, they offered TOP quality steelbooks that totally made the wait truly worth it... but with Wall-E and now announced Thor matte fiasco, seems like they're going to the dark side of cheap finishes...

So sorry @MissFishie if yeah @SlyFondle answer may seemed a little bit sarcastic (I'm sure he wanted to be helpful), but you need to know that there's an history for Blufans that a lot of us here have difficulties to forget... (me included)

I think Nova and PA have been doing much better slips than Blufans

Blufans packaging most of the times appears less pro with loads of scratches and loose shrink wraps when compared to the PA or Nova or even KimchiDvD.

But it is always special to have a Blufans release as they have been kind of trend setters.

Welcome to the message board ...When a blufans release is done correctly it is a stunning thing to hold in your hands, it can be a piece of little art...some can be so beautiful it is breathtaking, but sometimes they screw up or cancel a release and since we have expectations that can create some frustration...the main thing you need to know is that from the moment the title is announced and when you receive it, it can take up from 4 to 6 months...just an average time frame (could be faster or longer). But if done right, worth the wait !
