I taped my httyd lenticular on the slip...two little pieces, doesn't seem to damage the slip. I was really hoping that it was glued on there. Oh well, I'll fix it up

 

[steel888]

Hmmm, that seems awfully misleading, as it was always labeled as a 'lenticular slip'...when its just a loose 'lenticular card' instead. Or did I miss something?

 

[digitalbabe]

@wxlinkswd can you help answer some of the questions regarding Lenticular mockup (doesn't show "card") and loose card, Xin? Thanks

 

[badgerman]

It was sold as a Lenticular Slipcase. That to me doesn't mean a loose lenticular cover. I'd have chose the full slip otherwise.

 

[DJ IXS]

Wow...if people were complaining before because of other issues, get ready for the **** storm that's about to hit this thread because of this seperate lenticular slipcover situation. I'm actually a bit mad myself! What are you supposed to do with a lenticular CARD if you open the steel?!? (I've already read the "tape" method, not happenin' captain)

 

[darczap]

Um, yeah, that sucks! At least it should have been the full slip edition underneath the lenti card. Bummer. If I would have known, I would have gone full slip.

No joke! You and me both, buddy.

Spending premium dollars on a premium product should be the case here.

Just seems like a lazy, cheap way to go with this lenti card. And shady for not disclosing this/correcting the information we were given about the lenti version.

Wait until the rest of the world wakes up and sees this latest development.

 

[Sounder]

OK, this is a major departure from what was advertised. I am not happy about this at all. I would have never ordered it if the card was separate. Lenticular slipcover means the lenticular is ON the slipcover. It does not mean it is a separate card!

What is going on here????

 

[paulboland]

No,its still separately

I like it so I don't mind that the lenticular is separate
I might be in the minority though that does like it
I get to have both a Slip with a cool looking image and a lenticular and this is the only slip that comes with full size booklet

 

[jaszeron]

Well just to toss some water on the fire, I actually like the art under the lenticular card. It makes for a versatile product that you can display in multiple ways. My hope lies in the fact that the back of the slip has actual art instead of printed movie credits..

 

[Auracom]

I thought the level of animosity over the delay in the original batch issues was unwarranted... but complaints over this lenticular will be.

This should have been disclosed months ago. Huge miss. No other way to see it.

 

[Bassaholic]

Not cool fellas. This should have been disclosed.

 

[ocielz]

Well......time to sit back and read all the comments

 

[Zyrin]

This really should have been disclosed, the way both HTTYD and Kong were.

Honestly, if HDZeta wants to keep the lenti cards loose, why not at least make them magnets? It'd be the same concept but easier to display for those that want to open it...

 

[jordanwalkert]

This is just insane. Without the lenti, it looks like a regular slipcover that you could buy in any store. Really loses its appeal, so glad I just went with the full slip.

Agree with you buddy. I feel sorry for the people who order the lenticular. They should have mention it before the group opened.

[CasuallyDressed]

Not really loving the artwork under the lenti either. The full slip art is way better.

Wonder if @Naughtius Maximus is gonna be left with a bunch of copies that people don't want any more...

My French steelbook already has the artwork that is under the lenti on this edition.

 

[BDDB]

Doesn't bother me at all as I am one of the minority who just chucks the slip in a big box.

I like my Steels naked or maybe with a sexy lenti-magnet but that is it
