Well looking at the GB thread, the FS version will cost ~$60 to the UK; $29.99 + sales tax (~$5) + HDN donation ($1) + packaging ($3) + shipping ($19) + 4% PayPal ($2). Kimchi Rush Lenticular cost me ~$48 delivered, and Olaf Blufans ~$58 delivered...

So vs this superior Blufans version, you'll be paying very close to (if not the same/more) for your FS version. The only reason I picked up on your comment is because you alluded that the NA versions are somewhat cheaper than China/Korea releases (to UK/EU customers). They're not.

You're sliding the US version in there with the CA as if they have same pricing and that is almost always far from the case.

US sales tax differs by State and some can be extremely low, but at the highest its still around $3.25 on a $30 release.

Also the trend as of late has been the steelbook priced equally to the amaray (surprisingly) so potentially $20 or $30 in store.

One steel shipped to UK - $14-16
two steel $23.95 (can technically fit 3 in there)

So with the USA version it could potentially be from $7-10 cheaper than the CA price delivered with an exact same steel cost. Or could even be $17-$20 cheaper. And then if getting more than 1x qty of any steels in the package brings the total cost down.

But at just your above #s corrected if ordering 3 copies the USA version could be had for about $43 delivered each. And that was with the $30 steel price tag.

Just saying.

Price is one thing to consider yes, but personally I will pay a bit more for a bf release in comparision with a us/can release of this movie.

 

[SilverBlade]

Guys! The art is unique for BF. Don't u see the difference?

The picture is the same but:

FS/BB: He has a helmet and there is a title
The rest of the world: He has no helmet and no title
BF: He has NO helmet and has a title

I just checked..you are correct. The helmet is different.

I'll wait to see what the slip looks like, but I have the BB preordered and already have the HMV of Cap 1 so not sure if this would be worth it for me

 

[charleybusko]

It doesn't matter what the slip looks like. It's Blufans, so it's gonna be the leader of the pack. Even if it's a plain slip, Blufans will definitely add a touch of class and some extras to make it noteworthy.

I don't care as long as it comes my way

 

[pdbluray]

My wallet is crying so much.

What does every one reckon the costs will be, needing to budget and get the money in the bank.

What to get all the singles, and if funds allow the boxsets.

I'm guessing the price for the singles might be around $65 level, delivered...I'll be going for the singles but come in for the doubles if the run is small.

Yeh so roughly £160 for the lot in singles.

The doubles are 500 print run (I think) but aren't a priority for me.

With the Iron Man news I suspect the whole avengers series will get the BF treatment, so hopefully a IM 2, IM 3 (+ maybe news of a Iron Man tri-pack) and Avengers.

Hopefully there store will not charge until dispatched date like most others.

 

[Frshcoupe]

^ If blufans does an Avengers steelbook the internet will become a desolate ruin.

 

[DJHilalo]

The only way forward for me is to get the lot or not, I'm a huge BF fan and Marvel so this news is a great welcome and I'm so excited to see the slips and final package, bring it on BF!

 

[Wreck]

They will charge up front as its "Pre-order". Thats my high guess considering it allows them to use such funds to fund such project. So be prepared to pay Monday. And since they are going to use a site like ebay as opposed to their own that will mean they will recoup the fees that it charges them. So will be extra cost in there as well.

I'll go for singles, as im not too keen on 2 in one slip. But for some reason i keep visualizing 2 in one vertical slip which makes me cringe but I guess if it was a horizontal slip ie. slipbox it wouldnt be so bad. And thats likely what it will be? given their past releases like that? GI joe, wwz, JR

 

[domalorite]

Slightly different now. With their new Taobao store (although that's how they did preorders when they first started) you can put forward a CN50 deposit. Remaining amount can be paid a week before shipping.

No idea how that would work. Does Taobao have such feature? Or will be Alipay funds transfer, which is a whole new ball game completely.

Either way this is mainly for Chinese citizens, and those that know and can buy direct from Taobao.

Any news on this, I'd like to order this if the group buy still has any copies, and if we get to see some art like Iron Man. Maybe I'm too late, and I'm having trouble deciding whether to go for this or buy a nova full slip.

I don't know about the Gb as I believe it is not on this forum(someone correct me if I am wrong) but unfortunately the pre orders are long sold out.

 

[psychoscot]

There is a GB on here, but not sure if all the places have been filled. Check the group buys section for "Marvel pre-orders" I think that's what the GB is listed under.

There are still names being taken on the reserve list, good luck!

 

[EyeSeeDarkness]

Thanks for the info, hoping they announce something along the lines of finish, inside artwork, embossing etc. seeing they did that for Iron Man.
