Hi all. I am fairly new to collecting and just wondered, with blufans, what's the difference between the different types, so for example, what would be the different with OAB and BE I understand one is only at blufans and the other is blufans exclusive but wouldn't it be exclusive if only at blufans? Would you expect a different slip for each?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, just want to make sure I am buying the right slips

WWA = World Wide Art. Same atwork on the steelbook sold all over the world by different retailers.
WEA = World Exclusive Art. Custom artwork on the steelbook only available from a single retailer.
OAB = Only At Blufans. WWA steelbook with an exclusive art slipcover.
BE = Blufans Exclusive. WEA steelbook with an exclusive art slipcover.

Although the exclusive art on the slipcovers can be used by other retailers but not on the same type of slipcover. So Blufans could use a certain piece of artwork on a fullslip and another retailer could use the same art on a lenticular cover.

Hope that helps.

OAB and BE refer to the steelbook only. OAB uses worldwide steelbook whereas BE is a steelbook exclusive to Blufans.

It's referring to the Steelbooks. OAB is the global steel with special slipbox whatever else that you can only get at Blufans. BE's are WEA Steels

From Kevin:

Please note: Being confirmed that WWA steelbook is NOT Best Buy edition; it is the European edition.

Yes.. The OP shows the Best Buy full glossed and embossed title North American release, but this will be the flat matte titleless front/spine dull release that is in my Nova slip .

Yeah, whoever worked on that render didn't do her/his homework.

As I only went for 1 version of the WEA edition decided to pick this up as well, feel this will be the best slip of them all

I passed on this. Already have the Novamedia one. Same steelbook but different packaging. I thought Blufans were doing a WEA for this. Got confused with Rogue One.

I looked at the photo on the OP and saw the WWA. Where is the WEA? I havent been following this at all but only just had a quick look as I was made aware of a GB.

They are doing one of each? Very unusual. Never seen that before.

Steelbook is the same but this one has 3D disc. The first release had no 3D disc.

This and for the completists out there, the bonus disc in this one (OAB) is different to the one in the WEA release.

hmm looking forward to see people's photos of this. The only thing that bothers me is the cropped captain phasma on both sides of the cover, I know they basically just spread the theatrical poster across both sides of the cover. I guess the choice was to either crop phasma or crop Han's head
