Oh No now I feel sucked up and want them... I thought I was fine with my Taiwan releases but something is pushing me to consider this release, love the look of one of the lenti feels very retro...oh boy ebay prices again

but better than having to deal with Nova's servers....I wonder if they are made by Fisher Price

Methinks there is some kind of conspiracy...

But you don't appear to have made it to any of the lists.

Two separate GBs: USA (apsmith21) and ROW (Masterblaster).

righto. i am all paid up in apsmith21's GB. my full + lenti has already been shipped to me

Still kinda sucks that we got boned by Nova on the Lenti decision, though. (GB hosts are faultless).
Pretty soon, these mistakes will not be tolerated by them saying "Oops. Our bad."
I get that they are working out kinks, but that 'good will' will only last so long... If it wasn't for the GB hosts, I would have given up on Nova buys.

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. I must state though, the pre order on the Nova site directly for this title was A LOT better than for Drive. For the majority, people that ordered online managed to secure at least one version of the 3. After being advised of the change with the group buy, did you attempt to order direct from NOVA?

It was my first ever direct orders with both Kimchi and Nova this year and Nova won - hands down. Kimchi's server was ridiculous and after their previous years of selling steels, this should have been rectified. After NOVA Drive (waiting 3 hours for the servers) there were tweaks to the NOVA server, so they learnt from their mistakes.

I for one, am grateful for NOVA - a new, fresh and upcoming retailer that will at the very least, keep competitors on their toes a little more

I emailed Nova over and over that when checking out Paypal would not connect. They said call Paypal. Since I use Paypal with EVERYBODY online, and never a problem- it has to be Nova's system. I have done everything possible to fix this (matching data EXACTLY with my PP account, etc.). Nova still says there is nothing wrong with their system. I tried for the better part of a day to just order anything on their site with PP, to no avail. Their customer service is to pass the buck. If I can't use PP on Pre-Orders, I am effectively 'dead-in-the-water' when the rush happens and I have to punch in CC numbers. This particular problem is only with Nova and not Kimchi.
I should not have to work this hard to give a company money.

I had an almost exact situation with Kimchi. It even showed on their order page my order was pending. When I emailed Tony he said my order could not be honoured and deleted it from my account. I wont go into it, but lets just say others had the same issue and orders were honoured. You live and you learn though.

I used Paypal for my Nova order of GOTG.

Again, I am sorry to hear of the above. Ideally, we show up for the pre order, so we should be able to secure our orders

Thanks

Thanks. Ironically, If I clocked the time I was putting stuff into my basket and not connecting with PP over and over- I probably would have gotten what I needed with Autofill with a CC. (On GOTG).
DRIVE, however, sold out in a heartbeat and I probably would not have worked with CC.
Maybe I'll figure it out at some point! Your sympathetic comradeship is comforting though!
Also- Big ups to the GB hosts!! They saved my bacon on a bunch of titles!!

 

[apsmith21]

Got my GB copies today. Really wanted the type B, but I had a feeling I wouldn't get it, and I didn't. The type a is a beauty, but there are tons of scratches going sideways, all over the Lenti. Feeling pretty sick about that. Not a happy camper.

Actually, those "scratches" are on the shrink wrap - if you move the wrap, they move. So they are not on the lenticular itself.

It has to do with the heavier gauge of shrink used in the wrap process - with a 80 gauge or higher wrap, you'll get that effect, which is not something we typically see in the USA where lower gauge (and more flexible) wrap is used.

Thanks for not approaching me via pm first though.

No worries buddy -you should try the CC trick next time, hopefully that cracks it for you

All the best

My sincere apologies.

Too bad these came out before I saw the movie. Would have loved to get lenticular choice #4...

Can everyone double check their Lentis for scratches under the shrink wrap and let me know if you have them please.

Thanks

I would be able to tell you Thursday but my girlfriend offered to pay so it's a "birthday present" (which is Thursday).

No, don't do it dude! Make him his own to find out LOL!

I checked mine over extensively and there are no scratches on the lenti but a couple horizontal scratches on the shrink wrap. Also I didn't have to open it, the shrink wrap has enough give so that you can tell by moving it. Thus if the scratch moves with the shrink wrap it is not on the lenti.

 

[pdbluray]

I tend to open mine anyway. (Don't have 1 single sealed steelbook).

Although might make a exception on this and just have my Full Slip one open.
