I'm surprised blufans did not include the bonus extras disc in any of the editions
I know 3D disc was not possible

2 Disc Hub why did they not add bonus disc so it would not look strange with just 1 disc inside

Because deep down they would have liked to include a 4k disc. Since they can't, they left a vacant tray to that end.

Yes quite odd indeed as it looks very bare and lonely with only the one disc. Lucky for me I have a spare bonus disc that I got from my 4K Amaray but the most annoying thing is I’ve bought Coco three times now and still don’t have a 3D disc

That is why I kept my order of the Zavvi UK steelbook as this has 3D disc
Best buy steelbook is 2 Blu-ray Discs (Film and Bonus Disc) and Film on DVD but not 3D

All 3D Blu-ray releases in USA/Europe have bonus disc
UK 2D Blu-ray Amaray don't have bonus disc but 3D does
Most of Asia releases include bonus disc as far as I know except Blufans

So, which would you keep if you could only have one?

Thanks for the comparison
The Best Buy one holds up surprisingly well against the WEA from Blufans

Because deep down they would have liked to include a 4k disc. Since they can't, they left a vacant tray to that end.

But most of other Asia Blu-ray releases have bonus disc

Bonus disc is included with 4K and 2D/3D editions in other countries so that's not an excuse
Even if they could not do 4K or 3D no reason not to include the bonus disc

 

[paulboland]

So, which would you keep if you could only have one?

If I could only have 1 and not purchase any other blu-ray editions it would have to be Best Buy as that has bonus disc

Blufans in terms of steelbook is the best looking but loses marks for discs content

Well played sir I took the unorthodox approach and have the Best Buy Steel, Blufans Steel and 4K Amaray Aus release. Later down the track I will try and grab a cheap 3D copy. Still come the end of the day for the people who only buy Coco once there’s a blank spot where the bonus disc could’ve easily been or what I will most likely do and put my 4K disc in to fill the space.

You double/tripple dippers you...

As much as I'm going to love this steel when it arrives, I can't help but feel ripped off with the disc options.

My dl should arrive tomorrow

Most likely have to pick it up Wednesday night though

Normal thickness of a fulllsip imo

Do you mean thin fullslips? Because I have at least one Kimchi/WeET fullslip and it's not particularly thin.

??? Its the usual Blufans. Not the anorexic Kimchidvd or the fatty HDZETA/ FAC....just right

Now that I've got my Full Slip, I was able to compare the thickness:

It's not as thin as a KimchiDVD/WeET slip, but also not as thick as Beauty and the Beast, for example.

... Coco's just about a little too thick to fit inside an SCF3 protector, unfortunately.

Cheers

Speaking about delivery, once again my heart dropped the moment the mailman handed me the package:

I didn't think it would have survived this torture, but to my amazement the Full Slip had survived:

The steelbook just doesn't lay completely even on the table, but I won't complain about that. The slip's a bit too wide for its content, the bulging is not a result of the damages to the package, I suppose.

And finally, here're some pics of the actual edition (1/2):

Wow Fullslip looks great, in hand I was dissapointed by the 1/4 slip as I hoped it would have a gold foil effect as oppose to the flat colours it has (the steelbook itself is great though) but the FS looks a real winner based on those pics. Thanks @CleverLoginName

2/2:

Look, another perfect spine @Mickle_89

All in all it's hard too find anything negative about this release. The steelbook is a contender for "Steelbook of the Year" for sure! What a piece of art! The colors are just beautiful, and there're so many details, it's just stunning. Probably my favorite area is around the embossed title. It's "just" one color, but man, it does look fantastic. Plus: not a single defect on this steel. It's as mint as it can be.

Really happy with this release, thanks Blufans!

That's a great looking edition, I really liked the fullslip from the minute it was revealed. How's the finish on it? Any embossing or different textures?

Just out curiosity, does the postman look away out of shame for his/her peers when handing over packages in a state such as this?

You can see the embossing and finish of the Full Slip in the instagram link I posted yesterday

Here are the Full Slip Images from that post

This is the first time in a long time I’ve been disappointed with a blufans release

The steel is lovely but my double lenti front seems really blurry and pale in colour compared to other pics plus I have marks over it
