Then if you going to start 'counting' I count about 30 - 50 different variations for blufans if you going to get the ruler out. Some of it can be called evolvement, some of it can be classed as the current series in that format, a lot of it can be classed as inconsistency.

You don't expect a retailer to release one format and stick with that for the rest of it's life do you? Of course they are going to be changes. But FA have kept with their series and maintained consistency. You don't see Blufans going back to O-Rings are Wall-e/Frozen Olaf tall skinny slips? No. You don't see Marvel shoe box sets? Nope. You don't see The skinnier standard size slips such as CA and Thor used again do you? Nope. So Big Hero 6 Disney shoe boxes, suddenly stop doing that, release some more disneys, minus the shoe box.

See this line up from Blufans? That's how inconsistent they are. Now I will get the ruler out and pretty much say at least 10 are all different 'variations' and sizes according to your definition. That's not including the hundreds of other editions to examine with a ruler.

Now you see FA? Consistency. They are look the same in their series.

Sorry Matt, if you are going to get a ruler out and cannot define what is consistent and what is not, then you are talking a load of nonsense mate. Why am I wasting my time explaining this to you?
WOW and WOW that is an freaking awesome collection @sunnyx :thumbs:

lol I never said BFs were consistent. If fact I stated everyone was inconsistent! My point was that FA has different sizes just like everyone else. 6 different sizing releases at least.

I think BR2049 will follow the F&F box as well since they have 3Xls, 1/4 slip and the box. I already test fit 3xl and a 1/4 slip and the only room left over is for something about the size of a normal sized slip which isnt much

Lol Matt, for the sake of this thread, we can agree that FA has at least 6 different sizes (or 8 :p) and we can also agree that FA are much more consistent than for example Blufans (not deliberately picking on Blufans but they have the most variations).

Anyway I've just taken the ruler out (!!) and measured the FACs.

E5B is approx 15mm wide
Standard is approx 23mm wide
XL is approx 33mm wide
The external maniacs box is 159mm wide

So the total width is 137mm + the collectible box size. Not sure of the exact internal dimensions as my maniacs are sealed. But it looks we are going to need a very thin collectible box to fit inside :rofl:

It would seem that a wider maniac boxset is required for BR2049.

These should still be available for Live pre-orders for those that missed out on the GB. It will sell out, but I think it be pretty easy to grab a copy if you are ready on the dot. But yeah, nothing seems to sell below cost. Even the silver WWA 3D is going up as its sold out now.
 
All Blade Runner 2049 Steelbooks are sold out worldwide, so it's not a surprise. I wonder if anybody will do another print of WWA/mondo/bestbuy.

Yeah it´s really nuts lol. Regarding hype/demand I would split steelbook world to two sides - Marvel, and then there is Blade Runner 2049 :hilarious:

I will be praying to get invoice from FA direct, I clicked "I want to buy" button, but I think reachable is maybe only E1 due to largest print run, but on the other hand it has the lowest price, so it´s not quite sure anyway. E3 4K with print run only 500 is impossible I would say, and slight chance with E2 as their lentis have not best reputation, print run 750 and price is quite high despite 4K disc is not present.

We will see, hard to guess how this will end up in two weeks when preorders start :coffee: gonna be intersting for sure :LOL:

You not join the GB here? :wow:
 
Yes I joined but said back then that Im gonna try for direct as well and when I success I will left my GB spot for somebody else as I would choose the cheaper option direct :)

You don't need to defend yourself for grabbing two copies :p We all know you are going to keep two, why not? ;)

You again and your theories lol, you really should get a life :rolleyes::coffee:

Ahhh ;) What did you go for then buddy?

I snagged all of them afterall :whistle::angel::D at first I was going only for E3 and E1. I catched E2 later from the restock. When I saw how fast it goes, I didn´t want to miss any. Will see which one will be best in hand and the others can be useful for some trade maybe :whistle::giggle: ( I still desperately need Nova Avengers and T2 and HDzeta T1 remember? :):coffee:)
