This morning I was zip lining in the jungle and checking furiously for any signal for my iPad, no joy. I don't feel so bad now tbh. I have the FAC edition on ordered, that's fine for me. I am a little concerned about T5 and Mad Max tho.

I just hope that FAC, BF, or NM gives Mad Max a nice release so I can skip HDZeta.
 
Bottom line there would have been GB if they thought they would struggle to sell them but no so the only place to find this will now be on eBay, yet again !!

Add me to the list of ultra disappointed collectors.

Unfortunately, this means as collectors we lose confidence in HDZeta for their handling of this release. I'm not going to do anything extreme like sell off the ones I already own, but this will likely be the last time I wait around for one of their releases when other retailers have the same film. I eagerly await the explanation tomorrow.

Damn, so unfortunate.

International collectors and resellers maybe but there is something called eBay where the true collectors show their money power. As long as it it there small print run releases of decent films will continue to sell well.

"Webstore goes live at 10am."
"Sorry guys, almost every copy sold out, but we have 10-15 copies available. First come first serve, forget those who were waiting for 10am"

7am for me, so yes, I had my alarm set to catch this in time. I'm fine seeing they sold out, but why just list the extras instantly before 10? That's what I don't like.

Is it really worth risking identity fraud for the sake of a stupid steelbook? ????

Yeah you never know what may happen using that other site, would wonder each month too if my card was still safe. I can understand the frustration though on missing out, I'd rather deal with other collectors.

I really think this is when we all need to take a step back from collecting HDZeta, why?
Obviously, because we ARE the reason why GBs are not held on here anymore or even if there are GBs, we are still NOT paying GB's prices (if you know what I meant)
Some people have realized that after The Man from Uncle and Minions, HDZeta releases are way better sold on eBay due to the inflated prices WE were willing to spend.
I honestly don't blame them, we all need money and we are all greedy at one point or another, I just blamed myself for supporting them by paying that much for a release just because I wanna complete my HDZeta collection. And now look at where it took me?
So here, I really hope anyone who is going to pay eBay price for this release, please DON'T. Because if you do, if I do, this issue is going to keep happening again.
I may sound very harsh and seems like I'm calling a rally to boycott HDZeta, but I am not, I loved HDZeta and I still do, but I'm just hoping HDZeta will go back to the way they used to be, that's all.
 
I am gutted I missed this release . And I can understand everyone's dismay . I'm sure hdzeta didn't mean no major harm in it . But look at it this way they aren't as bad as zavvi. At least hdzeta steels can be beautiful . Can anyone name a few zavvi ones that they really really want . I think I only have 1 in my display collection . The rest are made up of steels from elsewhere. Blufans kimchi and hd zeta .
End of the day if they don't make money they won't be in business .
@wxlinkswd thank you anyway I just hope terminator is easier.

I don't think anyone has a problem with them making money, they are a business but this release was handled very poorly and since collecting is an international hobby and this is an international site where this was promoted I think we all feel a bit undervalued (atleast those of us that don't live in China) because many of us, myself included have been big fans of Hdzeta releases. Many other retailers set aside some for local and some for overseas.
 
While the loss of a GB is highly disappointing, it is not the end of the world. There was a GB offered for Minions and Man from UNCLE but many did not participate cause they said the price was too high. Fine. Thats your prerogative. But some of those complaining here once again have made comments that they were not getting this because they had the FAC locked down and this was inferior to that. This is one of many steelbooks for the Martian.

The silver label has proved to be one that is most exclusive and harder to organize a GB due to the small print runs and local demand. Gold line is much easier to get as the print is always higher. I see no need to change that formula, otherwise no point in having an exclusive line

LOL I tried to order on TaoBao and they canceled my order because the "address is not suited for the card." I am in the military and used my military address (APO address). And then contacted customer service via chat to explain and they left the chat after 10 minutes. GREAT customer service.

I bet they are just a bunch of crooks. I used a rarely used credit card so it's easier for me to monitor for fraud.
