So from the sound of things:

- Seperate Lenticular Copies: All single Lenticular Variants WILL be opened, GLUED then Resealed
- Lentis in Tripak Boxsets: PM required @wxlinkswd asa if U do not want Ur Lenti in the Tripak Glued

@wxlinkswd correct me if I'm wrong mate

Not sure about that first point, as a box of lentis has already landed in the UK and will be at David's door very soon. I can't see HDzeta asking for the box back to glue the lentis on.

Thank you for your continuous updates and communication @wxlinkswd ! I'm sure our members appreciate that.

Hell yeah we do. Just a lack of communication with this release is all. No harm done

Thank you @wxlinkswd for getting this sorted out for everyone. Really appreciate it bud

Maybe members that don't want it glued can PM David and get this from him? I think that will make some ninjas happy

Why is this exclusive having so many issues? I'm really hesitant about ordering from here again.

 

[RobertJoseph17]

No glue for my tri-pack. I'd like to see that white Slip. PM Sent.

Sounds like a plan. I've made my request in the GB thread.

I don't want to be a negative Nancy because his support today has been amazing, but I think Xin maybe acted a bit hastily by pulling all lentis and boxes back to glue things. What's done is done, and I think a lot of us would rather receive them unglued and in their original state.

Maybe a fresh thread with a poll for all upcoming releases is in order?

Most of the issues was done before it got released, It happens. The only issue now is the lack of communication with this release as everyone thought they was getting a lenti slip but it's actually a lenti card. wxlinkswd is now sorting this out for everyone so the lenti will be glued onto the slip. issue solved

What issue ??? I for one love the awesome artwork on the white slip. Like the option of displaying it as a slip or lenticular. This should be how HDZETA defines its exclusives IMO. No glue for me. It's perfect for me as I stated before.

Why are most who wanted it glued / attached suddenly not wanting that option graciously offered by Xin?

 

[Dano]

if you dont want glue,please PM me ASAP,thanks.
we will take all stuffs to factory at tomorrow.thanks
I want to clarify,KingKong will not glued on slip as we promised.The jurassic pack will as the same,but its come with the slipbox
The saving private ryan will lentislipcase(glude) as same as the kimchi or nova ones.

PM sent for no glue please.

 

[RomanCH]

If i ordered only Lenticular, should i send PM to you or Alex if don't wont it was glued ?

 

[steelbobawny]

Since there is artwork below the Lenti, after some consideraion I would not mind it being the way it is now, it's not something many ninjas are used to and was not clear initially.

 

[frankfish44]

The Lenticular is the reverse Gladiator TW. Love it

That's a good idea. It might alienate some members, but I like the idea.

I'm not sure as well, can we get confirmation that those of us that ordered a Lenti/s can select if they want glue or not?

 

[frankfish44]

That's a good idea. It might alienate some members, but I like the idea.

The idea of providing 2 options in the same package is more enticing to me. The beauty ( slipcover underneath ) and the beast ( lenticular on top ) should be the defining ideology behind their releases

 

[digitalbabe]

Folks, Xin has just told me that he will send me glued lentis for those that want them. Hub leaders will contact group buy members to obtain unglued/glued preference. Thanks guys.

 

[digitalbabe]

@wxlinkswd and all, this thread will be locked. Please see my note above.

 

[galareta2332]

I think oportunity that HDZeta gives us is great -> you have slip + lenticular card.
How to keep it after taking protective seal off...easy and as i mentioned before:
SC3 from Steelbook Central. This is how my IM from Kimchi fits it.

 

[snooloui]

I actually really like the white artwork but I can see why people are upset. I think there is a slight overreaction but on the other hand it is a bit ridiculous to suggest that collectors should glue the lenticular onto the slip themselves. I prefer not to use my limited DIY skills myself and I don't think anyone should have to for a release that costs upwards of $60 once all costs are factored in.

 

[blu-steel]

No glue for me either. Keep them the way they are. I want my tripacks untouched!!!
