how is this still in stock?

I went for the GB thinking it would sell out due to low numbers but the lenti is still available to buy!!!

Because blufans offered a better WEA alternative for just a little bit more.

The Steel which is WWA is too not Awesome

Curse of nova...

what curse?

Because blufans offered a better WEA alternative for just a little bit more.

not for me it isnt. There are only 2 Blufans steels that were nice by my opinion - Wall-E and Oz (the latter of which Zavvi did a version of, pretty much)
Blufan's have always been the most expensive and the artwork was never enough to make me bite and pay more.

I quite like the dull WWA image over the cheesey WEA. Gloss or not, cant change my mind on the preferred image (which tbh is the rear of the WWA)

Plus Nova lenti's are always good and this image is sweet as well as being cheaper(which is a MASSIVE deal since the value of the £ dropped) so clearly a winner IMO



Am just super surprised it didnt sell out like ALL other prior Marvels (that also had Blufans or Kimchi or whoever else, variations) though, espcecially considering its a lower print run.

Nova isn't cursed, its just a bad combination of things all at once. You have the dramatic drop in the £ against the $, time of year and not being the first to get their product out which they normally are. They need to get their lead times up in my opinion, they've just shown their John Wick 2 exclusive steelbook and the film isn't even out yet lol. I think what hurts them with the DC movies too is they are missing out a version of the movie with each release which puts people off. They'll bounce back next year no doubt

Which is exactly why you bought Nova and most people didn't

A very polarizing release this is turning out to be. Personally as a marvel fanatic, this was always a must buy for me. I have yet to be disappointed by their marvel line. Blufans is on the way and this will join it soon.

Very true. Several factors why this is still in stock. They just have to get better at release times. 2016 has been an odd year for Nova. After Incredible Hulk and T2 as NE and a handful of NC, their exclusives has been very few..excited to see how they bounce back in 2017.

You make some good points. I think the Exclusive line is their strong point and they have been releasing more of the Choice line lately. Having mediocre WWA steelbooks with awesome slips will lose to WEA steelbooks with awesome slips EVERY time. Blufans has been good about releasing pictures of their upcoming packages on time, putting people off from buying the version with the crappy steelbook or steelbook they already own. Also, with Manta Lab in the business now and FilmArena increasing their releases, the field is getting more and more crowded. I bet Nova has some awesome releases up their sleeve though!

Incredible Hulk and Dredd despite being exclusives didn't sell as expected and didn't fair well in the secondary market either. I think strong $ is going to cause quite a bit of worry to these Asian retailers next year. Surely this is great for North American buyers but not the rest. Anyone thinking currency won't influence purchasing decisions are either super rich or delusional.

Very true about currancey rates affecting purchases. I know it did for me when the pound was doing a lot better against the dollar and. Now that's it's lower I've been buying more lol.

Nova need's to sell the idea that their products are sought after again. They need to release Dr. Strange early, pack it full of goodies such as lenticular cards / spines, chose great art and execute it flawlessly, lower the price to make it like wwa + goodies (which is what it is, rather than a blufans competitor) and then make the print run super limited, 500 akin to batman v superman would work well. Get the hype train going again, have another release or two go for triple the price on ebay and nobody will want to miss their next release

true - missing disc's/versions are why am still yet to bite on any premium Suicide Squad release(Nova included)

But the strength of the £ has certainly got me being more picky - average steelbook import has increased by £10 for me so between that, xmas and a recent house move I've had to cut RIGHT down


Nova will bounce back, but maybe if they get bigger packages (ie more fluff included in a release rather than just a slip and some art cards with the WWA steel) they will bounce back fine

Exactly THIS

Irrespective of which set is better or a better value, wouldn't it bother most collectors that Nova didn't do a release for The First Avenger?

I'm a novice compared with most in this forum but it seems like continuity in collecting seems really important.

Even if you prefer nova, why would get you get 2/3 of a set when BF offers all 3?

Just curious.

 

[Covcraig]

I'm sure Nova will release a premium version of all the current marvel films eventually.

for some it matters, but for me, I'm not retailer loyal as such and have a mix of lenti's from Amazon, Kimchi, Manta, FAC and Nova. If there's a choice, I choose via artwork and cost.

Other's will have their own reasons.

you mean a premium WEA release?
Or just fill in the gaps ie CA:TFA, Thor 1 and 2, and the Iron Man movies? (think they covered all the rest....) with either WWA pr WEA premium sets?

No you're completely right. I'm a huge advocate for nova releasing CA The First Avenger. I really want it to match the other two

I just personally can't take the chance and I'm also not a very patient person.

I don't think Novas are bad at all, I like the value and goodies but without the first film, I had no real choice.

You always have a choice mate.
