why this one and Frozen both are numbered the same i.e. # Blufans 13

The info that I had was

BE#12: Garvity 3D+2D WEA steelbook (NOW CANCELLED, will be replaced)
BE#13: Frozen 3D+2D WEA Steelbook
BE#14: Thor 3D+2D debossed WEA steelbook
BE#15: Thor2 3D+2D debossed WEA steelbook

I think either Blufans changed the number order or people got the info wrong but this info that I am posted came from Blufans like 2 or 3 months ago.

I will contact a BF expert to confirm info

According to Kevin it is a Pixar release. In my opinion it will actually be Ratatouille because Ratatouille 3d releases July 21 in the UK and this mystery title is released in August.

 

[RickB84]

Ugh was really hoping not to own this artwork. Guess I have no choice as this is one of my fave avenger flicks

 

[Actarus]

Me too but I think we're getting Thored Up with the same artwork on every release, so many were released so far.

don't get me wrong it's already pre ordered but it's loosing it's excitement. I still think so far one of the best one was the Taiwanese release

nah what I'm I saying, it's pretty sweet

 

[blurayhunter]

I wouldn't write this one off just yet with the slip still to be revealed and gloss and embossing could be a
Great package

Just a clarification that BE#7 is not only the boxset of Up. Its the 2D slip and 3D slip version also.

I wish bf would stop doing specials on all the movies i like on top of Thor, Captain America series I'm gonna be wanting the pacific rim and frozen releases too Never bothered with a credit card but I'm starting to think I'm gonna need one

I can't wait to get my hands on Pacific Rim, it looks like it's going to be an amazing steelbook and a great slipcover

 

[Blu-devil]

After all these months of waiting, it's slightly disappointing that the artwork is not WEA.
Still, if the finish is glossy and the back is clean I'm all over this muthaf@cker.

 

[trikidicky]

Also a bit gutted about the lack of WEA. However the back without the 3 daft pictures on it is much better. I still think this will be the best one out of the lot, but it could have gone so much further. Still buying it though as I've held on this long for it

 

[lolwut]

Definitely passing on this one. Those failed artworks are spectacular. This one, while the best steel of the film, is still a boring design. I personally love the US slip with its holofoil.

 

[JH2607]

What I don't get is why artworks are rejected because some spokespersons think it wouldn't sell well in China. By now they should have realised that most collectors are digging blufans releases and mainly these people are not from China but from all over the world, America, Europe and what not. Furthermore, I guess there has never been a blufans release that didn't sell out immediately. Well, and c'mon it's marvel, it's Thor - this was sold-out the second they announced it! Strange thoughts these, just don't get it

 

[Actarus]

Is that sarcasm? Blufans and Kimchi are always the best.

Kimchi(for the Lenti) & Taiwanese Release(one of the most beautiful 1/4 slip this year even though year isn't over it will be in top 10)

Note: same back artwork used in the Taiwanese release J-card as this one as the steel (don't know about the steel taiwan as I didn't open a copy)

 

[AlamoSoul]

tin proofs

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

It's gunna be hard to top the kimchi Lenti edition.

I actually perfer the BB int artwork over this new version.

So far Im not too impressed but in sure this will turn out very nice regardless

 

[charleybusko]

I don't think it'll be hard to top Kimchi Lenti especially when it's Blufans. That being said, I still consider Blufans and Kimchi at the top of the list for steels. They are the best.

 

[Actarus]

Oh for real ???

This is basically exactly the Future shop front cover and the back cover of the Taiwan Slip with just the cape in the wind.

I remember seeing other proofs for the open artwork, there was Thor and His brother,

Something is not right this isn't exclusive artwork

and what about the from cover Thor with all black behind him as we saw as sample pic on the OP of the thread for such a while now ? This one was exciting

 

[charleybusko]

@Actarus, it's been widely discussed that Marvel shut down those other mock ups. Stubborn Marvel wants the same artwork all through, what a shame.
So with that in mind, Blufans is doing the best they can with this design. It's still gonna be highly sort after and yes, I'm going to get it.
