Absolutely no idea at all mate. I won't find out until I get the GB info, when that will be again I do not know.

If you want a rough figure, anything from $20 to $150

Oh I just love the Steelbook Art, so looking forward to Doctor Strange and Fantastic Beasts.

Blufans are getting their groove one

Collecting all the beautiful editions is very exciting, such a great Hobby to enjoy our movies on another level

I Love HDN

I hope with blu fans and for the new style GBs they give you prices well before the GBs start due to having to pay now with the new way

I know we have a rough idea with marvel/ Disney prices judging by previous releases but I seriously hope they update you a week or 2 prior to the GBs opening going forward so we can sort out what we can afford or change pre orders around and/ or cancel other things we might have on order.

Basically I hope the GBs don't start and that's when we find out prices

I know this is all out of your control but I'm assuming the site has made the retailers aware the new GB structure and I know you've never hit your quota on BF GBs (except zootopia single lenti) but there are some coming up that I think will do better than previous GBs (strange/ TFA/ rogue one for example)

Other retailers we know prices well before GBs but blu fans is always a odd one with leaving it till last minute

When I have the GB info, as like I normally do, I will post in the thread with quantity and date/time. I will also, where I can include prices in this update too. I wouldn't bank on knowing a week or two prior, a few days yes but not a week.

As for the new system, that's here to stay and it isn't going to change so at the minute going forward all further GBs hosted by me will be using the new system.

However, what I am looking at doing with the next Blufans GB is the following. I will start a GB with a deposit scheme; so lets say Fantastic Beasts GB opens up. There will be the need to pay a $5 non-refundable fee per edition that you want - this then secures your copy. GB closes/sells out. I will then invoice you how I have been doing via PM for the remaining balance on a future date (won't be a huge gap but it would at least mean you do not have to pay up front all in one go).

Yeah I suppose a week or 2 before was a bit of a stretch.

I don't have anything against the new GBs but now we have to treat them like ordering premiums direct with having the money there and then so I'm just making sure we will have all the relevant info before hand (which I know you do anyway but was hoping blufans might work around us a bit differently with this new system and info a bit earlier than normal), but blufans do seem to act a bit differently with communications and style of business compared to other retailers and that's where my worries lay but your plans of possible deposit and then rest of pay sounds like it will help out in some cases which is nice to hear.

Thanks again

Three editions planned for the release

1) 4K+BD
2) 3D+BD
3) BD ONLY


This suits me better as I have no interest in 4K
3D+BD edition I will be going for


For those that want 4K and 3D you will have to purchase the one click or separate 4K and 3D editions

Love the artwork!

Awesome! BF thinking of all movie collectors with this release. Not sure which one I'll get yet but either the 4k or 3d package.

Not fantastic news anymore as many were thinking the Steelbook will contain 4K + 3D + 2D discs.

Not fantastic news anymore as many were thinking the Steelbook will contain 4K + 3D + 2D discs.

As I think I said another thread last week - that wouldn't benefit anybody as most people have a preference of 3D or 4K (not both). To pile them all into one box would mean you're paying for 1 extra premium disc you don't need. Better to let 3D buyers just buy 3D and 4k buyers just buy 4k.
