You think Blufans are going to do discless series like this Moonshine Moon Knight?

From what they said about the BP line initially, yes. I'd expect them to do every MCU film/series they have not already done, and in some instances (Antman, probably Ironman too), redo previous BE releases as well.

I did wonder when they were going to fill the number gap. I still think they've essentially abandoned this line though...

This was likely planned to go along with wanda, which faced a load of backlash due to no discs being available. You'll note that they say shipping will start as soon as orders start, so it's evidently been waiting in the wings for a little while now to coincide with the release of the wwa steel, with discs, I'd bet.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding here but I think the wwa steelbook came out a while back for this. Apologies if I read this wrong.

Basically it seems they’ve been sitting on this for a while (for reasons unknown) because Manta never have a steelbook product ready to ship from date of order. It’s always a 3-4 month window from pre order to dispatch.

Sam is clearly speculating. He could be right, he could be wrong. He literally says “I’d bet” at the end

lazy work here!

I went for WandaVision, it both had better art than the WWA and came out when I had more hope for the MCU shows. Bit different this time.

They got a group buy for this on the other forum... with a few people already signed up.

It's going to be hanging on Manta's website for hours, if not days.

Flloydo nailed it with his response above, but yes, the wwa steel came out 4 months ago, but this was likely planned a very long time ago. Over a year ago, along with other CP releases.

They had so much sh!t over releasing Wanda when there were no discs available, I'm betting they delayed this until discs were out elsewhere. That's why it's ready to ship, with no preorder.

Manta must have been sitting on this for a very long time. Apparently, the release date was November 8th, 2023

The next Matrix Resurrections.

Damn, such a bloodbath! Glad I've been able to order one copy. Not an easy task at all though!

 

[samdavies]

I grabbed the DL from a GB the other day. It was actually cheaper than going direct since manta upped their single slip shipping to the UK. Seems daft, $25 shipping for a $38 slip. You'd think it'd be cheaper with no discs, less weight and all.

that's honestly hilarious haha

Nuts isn't it. It's probably very similar with blufans, but as its all inc, you never see the ratio of charges. Nova are still the kings at $14. I've never understood how their kpacks are so cheap!

More a bubble bath than a bloodbath.

I hope they will still continue to do the MCU (and maybe other?) series even when this will stay in stock for ages. Would be nice to have matching premium steels for them as for the movies

Not exactly what you meant but it looks like they'll be selling Moon Knight for a long time.
