Yeah, that's fair. It was just a quick copy and paste at 5am (my time earlier), from a (likely translated) Chinese statement.
To make it nice and clear..
GBs will only be sold as a x3 set. DL or OC, one for each film.
Each film will be shipped separately, July/August/September.
The PET slips for the steels will then all be shipped in October.
So gotta prepare like $350 or $700.
Anyone who orders at GB stage should get a pet slip. Blufans don't always sell out, they often have stock they sell later. So I assume they mean it would just be for the X amount of GB orders they receive, as they have to custom make X slips.Sorry, still a bit confused… If you can only order them as a trilogy, who doesn’t get the PET slip? If you go OC, do you get 2 sets of slips?
Unconfirmed. I'd be surprised if they were theatrical only. There will not be another extended specific release from blufans, no.Do I understand that these publications are being prepared for the theatrical version? Will there be another, separate edition for the extended version?
Thinking the same here. The hdzeta steelbooks are good enough maybe better, depends on what you prefer. Still very curious about the artworks for the DL slipsI think am sticking with my HDZETA lenti set unless the slips are (middle)earth shatteringly good as I only really like the Fellowship steel here.
I would have considered a FS Blufans set to make a hybrid OC but Blufans don’t allow for that, and I can’t be arsed getting an OC and farming out the lentis.
I'm sure they'll find space for both versions in 3 steelbooks.Do I understand that these publications are being prepared for the theatrical version? Will there be another, separate edition for the extended version?
So if you don't get a PET slip your steelbook rattles around loosely in the slips? And if the slips are made to normal steelbook spec then the PET won't fit in the slips.Anyone who orders at GB stage should get a pet slip.

It's unclear how many slips each would get. Whether its one set per order, or a set per slip, which would be 3 sets for OCs.
I'd assume not. I can't see the slips being any bigger than usual blufans releases tbh. Manta "Her" for example, the slips are no bigger than usual, and the pet slip on steel fits in there fine.So if you don't get a PET slip your steelbook rattles around loosely in the slips?

So sounds like the PET slips are just a gimmick for displaying the steelbooks on their own. And as most people buying these won't even open them, the PETS are really quite a pointless addition IMO....
Nothing confirmed yet. Recent prices have been around $100 DL / $220 OC, depending where you order.Do you know the price for this?
Should be, yes. It'll only be one GB for all 3 films. They can only be bought as a bundle of x3 DL or x3 OC.Sorry to interject mid convo. Will this be available on the HDN Store like the previous few blufans steels? (Same applies to the other 2 LOTR films).
Haven't you? That's mad. ROTK extended is transformative!Fingers crossed these come with the extended versions. Still not seen them for two towers and return!
Yeah never got around to it. And I don’t own the extended other than the jumbo fellowship steel (which I liked and hoped they continued back then)Haven't you? That's mad. ROTK extended is transformative!
Could happen, particularly with the OC. Blufans have a habbit of spreading discs over the separate slips. DL individual, I'd expect it to be 2 disc extended. Maybe 3 discs, both cuts in 4K.Extended versions come on 2 4K discs. So these would have to come fully loaded. Especially if they're including a BD disc also.
