[CLOSED & APPROVED] Guardians of the Galaxy Novamedia Group Buy (USA ONLY)

[apsmith21]

I'll begin to investigate if Nova would like to work with HDN on a group buy for USA.

I cannot guarantee any number of copies at this time, and requests will be honored in the order
they are received if Nova can only send X number of copies.

YOU ARE LIMITED TO REQUESTING - ONE (1) copy of a lenticular slip and ONE (1) full slipcover.

TWO copies in total, in order to help more members here acquire a personal copy.

*Please note - I never ship media mail - only first class or priority mail based on weight.

FAQ - PLEASE READ BELOW...!

Nova will not guarantee the requested slips for the lenticular edition. that means a couple of you that had asked for one won't get it (I've crossed out your name in the OP).

Secondly, here's some answers to questions I have received recently:

1) When is payment due?
A: Shortly - I'm waiting for Nova to adjust an invoice and will send members payment requests then.

2) Does payment include shipping?
A: No, you are just paying for your item. You will still need to pay for shipping to me (from Korea) and reshipping to you, including packing materials.

3) Can I get the one click option?
A: No.

4) How about my choice of the lenticular slips?
A: Not any longer, since Nova changed their mind. If you asked for a lenticular, it will be awarded randomly.

5) If I was on the full slip will you also honor that?
A: If your name is on the list, then yes - members were limited to requesting one of each.

6) Do you have any room for new requests?
A: No, Nova will only send a limited amount and the list is full.

1 Lenti please, if you're still taking requests. Thank you.

 

[apsmith21]

List is now closed, I'll submit this to Nova and let you guys know as soon as I hear anything.

 

[apsmith21]

Hi everyone - Many of you have been reaching out to me behind the scenes and I wanted to get you
all an official answer about the status of both the Guardians and TDKR Nova Media group buys.

Nova Media has stated to me that they believe their store problems as seen with Drive are now resolved.
As a result, after the Drive Group Buy, they are going to ask that the members of HiDefNinja.com that
I was going to assist look to source their copies directly from the Nova Media store.

Please pass this message along to any friends or other members that you think might miss this
announcement - unfortunately I cannot reach out to each of you individually - this message
will be cross posted in group buy threads as well.

Thanks all!

 

[apsmith21]

Hello everyone - I'm not sure what caused the change of heart, but after some in depth discussions with Nova directly, and with the help of @Choi Chungkwon it looks like we can get these steelbooks after all!!

Group buy is back on!

 

[apsmith21]

PS - we're closed to new requests for a bit, we might have a couple more available. More details on that later, but it will be done via a lottery or some other situation - the first come first served part of this GB has ended.

Secondly, I'm about to contact all of you that requested a lenticular slip via PM for your choice (A or B). Please wait for that - should be with you in a few minutes.

Thanks

Hey folks - here's the update -

I'm reposting here so that everyone that was part of the private message also gets this update and can comment if necessary.

@frankfish44 @black7towr @MGD @Mr Oranje @tridon

hey guys, please read the above post - you left the conversation, so I want to make sure you see this.

thanks

 

[steel888]

Wow, what a mess Nova Media has created.

Thanks, Andy, for staying in the game and helping us on this one.

(Now I feel like a schmuck for asking for the one-click option.)

 

[tridon]

Thanks for the update, @apsmith21! And the Nova train just keeps derailing.

 

[lokutus1]

Thanks for your help Andy. For those of us trying to obtain a copy of each version, will you know which member gets which lenti before the go-live on Nova's website, so we can determine which lenti to go after on our own? I'm guessing not, which is understandable.

Nope, they will be random because of the simple fact that someone would very likely lose out on the version they wanted the most.

If I had these in hand when it went live, then I could try to work ahead of time with you guys, but I won't.

Think of it this way.

1) What if Nova sent more choice A than of choice B to me?
2) What if some of the lenticular slips arrived damaged?
3) What if some members get slip A, but miss out on slip B and vice versa.

It's a logistical nightmare.

As @tridon and @steel888 put quite well in the post just above yours - Nova has left us (and particularly me) a huge mess.

I totally understand that you guys might be frustrated with these circumstances, and I'm disappointed in this level of customer service that's been afforded us given the huge amount of traffic and purchases we send to their website.

 

[AlexG]

@apsmith21 Appreciate your help amongst all the mess NM has caused.

If there's a specific lenticular your going for maybe it would be wise to just purchase it thru NM. And the one received thru Andy's GB either just trade or sale it to another forum member.

Or a better way would be swap lenticulars. If someone received TYPE-A and another member got TYPE-B.

In any case whatever version I get I'll just end up keeping.

Thanks for your help on this buddy! We all appreciate your efforts. I figured it as much. It's not a big deal. I like both lentis so either one will be fine.

 

[JC3216]

I am just thankful for any copy - I am sure most of us would not be able to get a copy at all if it weren't for you.

 

[Dano]

Thanks Andy. It's all cool. A or B Lenti plus a full slip guaranteed is way better than dealing with Nova!

 

[lokutus1]

Thanks Andy. It's all cool. A or B Lenti plus a full slip guaranteed is way better than dealing with Nova!

Amen to that!

 

[steel888]

Andy @apsmith21, we'll all chip in and send you a keg of spiked egg nog for dealing with this.

Happy holidays, indeed!

 

[jeffster15]

Thanks Andy, sounds like a major headache. I really appreciate your efforts in this GB. I'm happy with the full slip and either lenti.
Thanks Andy.

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

Big thanks for all your efforts Andy. Very Much appreciated. Im just glad I was fortunate enough to be on the list for this GB, So I don't have to go through another Nova Nightmare..

 

[Zyrin]

What a mess! I'll be happy with either A or B. Since B was the most requested worst case I think I'd have an easy time swapping it to A, anyway.

Thanks for your herculean efforts to make this happen despite Nova's actions, Andy.
