Important Group Buy update

Spoiler

Official update for all group buy participants -

The licensing agreement for Black Panther, for unknown reasons, still has not been resolved and because of this Infinity War will now be being released first (roughly early December time). The licensing agreement for Black Panther is looking to be completed around November time but because of the other releases (infinity War, Greatest Showman, Three Billboards), Black Panther will not ship until January 2019 at the earliest.

Infinity War will ship with the same editions (1/4 slip + Box, One Click, DL, SL and full slip)

Group Buy members, we have a couple of options for you -

1. Transfer
Your Black Panther request will automatically be transferred to the same edition to that of Avengers: Infinity War. You will then be guaranteed a spot for Black Panther, which will be charged for again later on in the year (or potentially January 2019)

2. Refund
You can cancel your Black Panther request and be refunded. Please note that should you change your mind afterwards we cannot allow you to repurchase Black Panther. At this time there will not be a further GB for it (however this may change although not guaranteed)

3. Wait it out
Wait for Black Panther to be released. If you decide to wait it out, as a thank you we will enter you into a HDN sponsored prize draw.

The official GB for Avengers: Infinity War won't be live until November.

I will be sending this as a PM to all participants tomorrow too with the relevant instructions.

Also while I'm here I don't think that Inglourious Basterds looks very good but

 

[StifflersDad]

I'll be honest. ALL of my blufans slips, lenti and otherwise are just stored away in a box. I don't like any of them, none of them feel premium. The steels however, are all on show

Blufans fullslip have never been too impressive but GOTG1 and GOTG2 Lentis are 2 of the best lentis ever released

Also while I'm here I don't think that Inglourious Basterds looks very good but

I know it's hard to tell with photos.

But if you don't think that looks good, wait until you get you Black Panther DL........!

Chap on the other forum says a Shuri character card has been added to the SL set

Haha I believe you

regards lentis coco was pile of poo but when lenti material ripped of pic was quality behind
i wonder if blufans have changed suppliers of the lenti material to a cheaper one and this is the result or they have got a bad batch and goto use it up but you think some feedback would go on this
cos if others e.g. manta can get it right blufans needs to seriously look at its quality control here its not rocket science.
starts with loose discs and spreads to the lentis quailty

Every retailer has its bad period and now, atleast for me, Blufans went down a couple of places.
I really like what FA, MantaLab, HDZeta and CM are doing. In my top retaillers they are now all above Blufans.
However, I’m not worried Blufans will improve again.

So why would you continue to buy them?
You could just get the quarter slips.
I don't know how many you've got but I don't really understand that.

Mediocre lenti for a mediocre movie

Unless the SL is the bomb, and then we could say it's not so much the lenti manufacturer but the art chosen needs to suit a lenticular effect.

The art chosen (colors etc...) has a lot to do with the outcome.

 

[DMD4k]

Yeah, I think so too.

 

[Covcraig]

Novamedia would've never let a lenti like this or Infinity War get into circulation

 

[DMD4k]

Eiffelgate.

Lol

 

[nafosb]

I don’t get why people are all of a sudden since infinity war pointing out jaggered letter on lentis

I’ve seen it on so many lol Not just blufans

Also the whole pixalated thing. When the character is small or in the ground then unfortunately they will mostly be pixelated or jaggered on lentis.

Even Jeff goldblum on Thor Ragnarok DL is. Look at HDZeta ready player. Off the top of my head

That Jeff Goldblum is pixelated is a good thing. Don't like to gaze upon him when any image of him is sharp. My apologies to Jeff's wife.

I'm sorry but this is another mediocre effort at a lenti from Blufans. I'm not sure what method they use, but the quality just isn't up to scratch.

It's another washed out blurry mess. No colours pop, nothing.

Compared to Mantas IB double lenti (which is what I will be using for comparisons going forward!) there's just no comparisson.....

Very disappointing. Blufans are the pioneers of double lentis. Their last few efforts have been really poor

All of creation is governed to some extent by cycles. It appears Blufans reached the peak of a cycle with the Thor Ragnarok DL.
Now they are on a downward cycle which I hope will not be a long one. Let me see when Manta's cycle is due to peak........

Jeff is the coolest cat around. Guys got better style than most on this planet

I’d happily be his wife
