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.

Just having a friendly chat regarding the upcoming GB for this release (and potentially all future Blufans and/or other GBs). If anything is offensive or going too off topic, feel free to move to another thread or remove it completely DB No worries.

If you are a Blufans ‘VIP’ you are guaranteed any release. Why would you need to order at HDN? The answer for that is you either want duplicate copies and ‘scalp’ or you want to exercises your right to choosing which forum to shop at.

Not exactly guaranteed. You do have a preorder window and if you miss it then you're just like any other guy. You don't get other privileges.
Anyway, you've stated the first two reasons...

• people who scalp and think they can make a living off it
• collectors who want to choose which forum to support/shop
  
• collectors who genuinely want a 2nd copy for various reasons (believe it or not, they exist)
  
• collectors who occasionally secure a second copy who think they can break even and/or have additional funds for future release.
  
• collectors who missed out the VIP preorder window because they were unavailable at the time or simply forgot (personally experienced this)

Are these reasons not enough? Do we wanna turn away all these people from HDN because they have VIP access? Not the best idea in my opinion.

But..... there is no harm to consider having a few tweaks for the very rare blood bath limited releases wouldn’t you agree?

Of course, no harm in considering and tweaking but only if the majority (or a good % of the members) want it. Otherwise, we'd be here considering forever right?

So if I miss out and discover the same people scalping and abusing the very sought limited GBs, no big deal, I will scalp myself and encourage everyone else to. Because it’s allowed, if they can do it why can’t we?

So you're telling me that if a few around you decided to jump off a plane without a parachute because they think they'll survive, you're just gonna follow suit and jump with them?

People who think they are benefiting from scalping is not actually benefiting from it. The time they have to invest vs the return is not worth it. Most people it try it and leave. If they are lucky, they'll break even. So don't worry about them, they'll get what's coming to them.

But right now I choose not to. It’s ethically wrong. But if no tweaks will be considered and I feel the GBs are not effective, I’m not gonna moan, I’m gonna scalp myself and play this silly game myself.

Exactly! You and I both know it's ethically wrong so we choose not to. But on the internet, this doesnt mean much to some people. Yet we expect everyone to choose to do the right thing. Otherwise, it'd be chaos right?

The very fact that a VIP has secured a copy for himself then there is no need to cop another copy here. One edition per collector should be enough if it is a very limited release, ala Doctor Strange limited. Let’s learn to share.

Completely agree that we all should share, but let me ask you this. You know how crazy i am for Matrix. If Blufans decided to release it (crossing fingers here and hoping ), the OCD in me will definitely want 2 copies. So i shouldn't be allowed?
I missed HDz WW and BF Dr. Strange but right now, i dont think the HDN GB system need to change. And you and I both know we can always find anything without paying eBay prices.

I am VIP and I have never joined a BluFans GB here.

So am I and i have joined 3 GBs here. Why? Because twice I became Dory and completely forgot about the releases and missed the VIP window and 3rd time i wasnt around and again missed the preorder window. If i have to choose, i'm gonna choose the website that i spend most of my time on and contribute vs a site that i'm barely on. Is that wrong to do?

I never said overturn. I said ‘tweaks’ to very limited GBs. And to be honest I’m not going to get involved in all of this again. There’s a lot I disagree in what you said but we be just going around in circles. PM if you want the text book response.

Yeah, I would love to stay on the topic of the “Black Panther BF Steelbook” release, ideas, and GB if possible (since that is what this thread’s title indicates). I’m not trying to stop the conversation about alt accounts, scalping, BF VIPS, and controling these issues, but is there a way that a totally separate thread could be created and you all could take the discussion over there? It would be very much appreciated. @Wreck @cooey

Seriously. We had eight pages OT until after Thor's GB went live and we went down the rabbit hole for a further nine.

 

[davhyl]

I think most of the comments here should be moved to the retailer thread as they discuss GBs (mainly connected to BFs)
Unless the retailed thread is just for comments on how good or bad the actual retailer is, in that case, delete them or make a dedicated thread

 

[digitalbabe]

I look forward to seeing further beauty shots of this one. 1 click for me.

Well that can be said for anything and you can’t predict the outcome! That’s how all these debates and discussions all start off.

But it’s not been any loss. In fact you have read both sides of the argument which pretty much is moral ethics vs my freedom of choice. This is a sensitive subject which will always pop up on these type of releases. When a load of people miss out, and they will, expect this discussion to be pulled back in.

 

[sunnyx]

Oh and @AlienKing I never did get your PM, there are about a dozen other reasons you missed out that can be added to the list why a Blufans VIP will still want to order on HDN But that isn’t the point. I had my essay ready for you

But to be honest we should all just move on. When a load of people moaned they missed out, then we can open a separate discussion again (and again).

And who's to say the greatest Blufans VIP isnt HDN No need to get caught up in names. Just get your shiny metal

Oops sorry. I will PM you. I'm interested in reading your essay
