The cover is approved by Disney. However, the MB is not finalized. Preorder is starting at Blufans.com now. They have to have 500 preorders in order to make it happened.
link to pre-order please
From what I've read the blufans forums and this actually started only from 12-Dec 2011 and they need to gather at least 500pcs by 12th January 2012.
It's very close to the dateline now, not sure what's the order now.
The details I read was that it shares design with Hong Kong and Taiwan as well.
Meaning they need to get at least 500pcs upfront to get it launch in China with their exclusive cover, else it might be the same as Hong Kong and Taiwan cover release.
They launch it at Taobao.com and listed as 500pcs available, 5 mins ago it was still stands at 406 available. Less than 100pcs sold in a month.
If we can gather here another 100pcs, it might be quite impressive to them.
Does this mean the steelbook from those markets (taiwan etc.) is marketed wrong and is actually a metal box? Curious ... as I would hate for people to order a steelbook and get a metal box instead.
That's a good question. I had assumed it was like The Lion King when I first heard of this release, but now...
I think the HK/Taiwan markets are getting the steelbook. As Kevin mentioned earlier, this exclusive design is approved by Disney and they only need to decide if it is MB or SB for this design. And they would need at least 500 pre-orders to make this exclusive design a reality which I believe has been decided to be on a metal box (probably due to the lack of time). It would be awesome if HDN could cover the remaining numbers for them by Jan. 12th and start a new venture of sorts for the future. Just saying....
I have posted an interest or group buy there, saying it's from a highly reputable steelbook forums from the states and europe. Targeting a 3 digits qty and you know what ???
