There are worse things that can happen when you use super glue.

 

[digitalbabe]

lmao @Blu-devil

 

[steelbobawny]

Never thought I would see such a big thread in my HDN mailbox, some Ninjas had a shock when they came on later, all in the name of glue, a really sticky situation indeed.

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

All in good fun. Do not be offended. Can you tell I love Tombstone?

 

[Bassaholic]

Yes buddy,im so sorry for this mistake,i know everyone doesnt mind the lenti glue is on slip or not,they just mind why didnt mentioned it before GB,if we announced early,i think nobody will complain for this,like the HTTYD and kingkong,everyone will accept them very well,i had told the picture designer please confirm all details in the future and i will keep update all hdzeta production details at first time on HDN.

We promise this is the first time and also the last.sorry again for this mistake,we decide all HDzeta gold label exclsuive GB will start after we get the steelbook atcual sample from scanovo.
The sliver label will"no need to wait"GB payment over then start shipment.

I hope you can understand.thanks for everyone.

This was an honest mistake. Growing pains...I understand.

Thanks for the input....And the corrections going forward...

 

[blu-steel]

This will only make HDzeta stronger in the future. Its these little bumps in the road that are just growing pains. I personally dont see it as a big deal myself. I think people were a little dramatic about this. I get enough drama from my tween kid on a daily basis.

So how does everyone like the actual steelbook itself?

 

[deeii]

What the ****? This has got to be the worst groupbuy I have ever been in!

They are selling a product that was not advertised. Shame on you HDZeta! I would have gone for the full slip if I would have known this. This was sold as a lenticular slipcase afaik an not a LOOSE lenticular. HDZeta communication is horrible, end of story.


I am done with this release. I wonder if it's possible to get my money back, this is NOT what I wanted.

Not in-hand yet, but from the pictures it appears to be the "end-all, be-all" Gladiator steel. Looks pretty perfect.

And them glue it on the slip isn't good enough?
Most, if not all, lenti slipcovers have a glued on lenti card.

So by them glue it on the slip they deliver exactly what you've signed up for.

 

[deeii]

No, that is not good enough. As I said before that is not what they advertised.

Relax. You might live a little longer.

 

[Blu-devil]

Can we please move along. This who "My Lenticular is not glued, I'm pissed" is wearing more than a little thin now.
I for one am looking forward to its arrival.
Normal programming has now resumed.

 

[digitalbabe]

@deeii I am not sure if refunds are possible as items are already shipping to hubs. But best way to get an answer is to contact @wxlinkswd directly. Thanks.

 

[Moros]

No, that is not good enough. As I said before that is not what they advertised.

Okay, well sell your copy on to someone else and stay away from lenti slipcovers would be my advice.
BF/Kimchi/Nova they all have a glued on lenti. So by glueing the lenti on now they fully deliver what they advertised.
A lenti slipcover.

 

[terry44]

I am glad I ordered the fullslip think it may be the winner

 

[Moros]

LOL @blu-steel , your browser keeps hanging

Edit --- Nevermind, I saw three times the same message .. not anymore though. Might be mine which is acting strange

 

[deeii]

Already asked for a full refund. I'm not staying away from full lentis. Again it's not what they advertised. I would have gone for a full slip if I would have known this.
I'd rather spend my money on a Blufans/Nova release with 0 to none problems then deal with HDZeta again.

A very interesting comment. We must be thinking of different companies when we refer to Blufans and Nova. Both have had their issues (and still do occasionally).

Both did also improve over time and I'm sure HDZ will be no different over time either. So far the end products from HDZeta have been very good quality so I think they are doing more than a good job personally.

Perhaps when they improve they will get my money again, untill then; no thanks.
