Blufans should stick to WEA and proper exclusives, releases like this are a waste of time and money.

AMEN!!! MAYBE, if they were to stop making non-exclusives, they could focus a little more in the quality control department and would stop releasing steelbooks/packaging that you find all kinds of damage on upon opening.

Don't get me wrong, there's NO bigger Blufans steelbook fan than I, but they certainly have some wrinkles that need ironing out. I believe a lot of them come from them trying to do too much with so little time and staff.

This exclusives are not a waste at all. It's not always all about being numbered. Its the complete package. The only thing that differentiate from these and some kimichi exclusives are the number ei Thor...frozen...monsters university. These print runs are also very limited which is what many people like. I do agree on the whole quality control aspect though...that's always important

Will a Group Buy be available on this?

Very unlikely that there will ever be any more blufans group buys on HDN, but apparently the blufans international shop opens in May, so you can order direct.

That's not true, the three titles you mentioned will all have World Exclusive Artwork, this will be the same Steelbook that has been released elsewhere.

The titles I listed were kimichi titles that are all steelbooks used elsewhere just like blu fans gi joe. I already know that those title with blu fans are WEA, that was never my argument

Sorry yes, I thought you were referring to the Blufans editions. I also think those Kimchi editions are a waste of money just like this. If they want to charge a premium, then it should be WEA every time, not just add a slipcover and a few cheap extras.

Well people paying $200+ for kimichi Thor 2 would beg to differ. But to each there own

I'm ALL for a low print run and I dig Blufans' slip boxes (for the most part). My argument lies simply with the fact that with such a small staff, Blufans would be better equipped to handle issues such as quality control, postponing release dates, etc. if they put out less titles. And in my opinion, these "non-exclusive exclusives" should be the ones to go. Whether currently or formerly, I've owned EVERY steelbook Blufans has released. So I COMPLETELY understand it being about the packaging and not just having a number (even though ALL Blufans releases have a number with the exception of Rio).

I just think Blufans would be better suited sticking to actual exclusives with WEA and leaving the "non-exclusive exclusives" up to Kimchi and the rest of the bunch.

ALL Blufans are numbered with the exception of Rio.

EDIT- Just realized you meant the exclusive number, not the print run number. Apologies for my misunderstanding...

Very curious to see the slipcover

But i agree what mlmaier84 said

 

[morfeusz]

When you start collecting Blufans is hard to say "NO" I have all so far but I must admit this title Rocky and Need of speed I don't understand . Someone mention about order them directly from new Blufans website - not happen because as far I know Blufans store will be open in may ( optimistic ) and this all 3 release go up for order in April.

Very excited

 

[mactaylor]

Will the store be ready in time for international buyers?

Thanks for the update. My friends will be happy this has increased from 300

 

[Familyguy824]

I guess it's safe to assume it will be 500 for robocop and JFK too
