The second order should be here this week. I am going to send the shipping invoice soon to the rest of group buy members, please pay the invoice ASAP. thanks


July 6

The latter 500 steelbooks have been received by Blufans.
Our order will be shipped out next week to the Hubs near you.


June 19

For members who ordered more than one copy, the rest copies are not receiving as a promise by Blufans from Scanavo. There are two parts of delivery as schedule, first 500 received and second 500 which is supposed to be delivered last week, but NOT. Another two or three weeks needed for them to come in. :angry: If you don't want to wait and also don't mind paying the extra shipping cost for a separated delivery. You can contact me or the Hubs near you for the delivery arrangement.

June 12

Got the shipment today for the special edition version.
Hopefully, the hubs in the other areas will receive them safely.
Aand the shipping invoice will be sent soon.

Thanks


June 8

The part of steelbooks in first 500 numbers is shipped to Hubs near you.
and the tracking number is provided to the Hubs.


May 25


The Farewell steelbook is finally arrived.
I would like to thank you all for patiently waiting.

The blufans said they will sort their long order list and try to send steelbooks out to us next week.

May 11

The release date is just around the corner. Thanks all for your patient!

Just a note for the group buy members from Europe, other than UK,
your order will be forwarded by JOHN, aka Masterblaster.
The reason is due to the high shipping cost from Canada,
John can offer a cheaper, secured, and trackable shipping option.
And the way he packs the steelbooks is excellent.
A shipping invoice for these countries will be issued by him soon.
Thanks again!



May 6

Hi, guys
Please double check the group buy list if I get your order infomation right.
And A shipping invoice will be sent out soon.

I just made a change of the shipping preference for US and UK group buy list.
For uncomfirmed members in US and UK, please give me a clear shipping instruction now.
I suggest taking advantage of the shipping HUB in your countries if you only order 1 copy.
or if you join any other group buys from our beloved Canadian members like Biscuitnoir and Drum,
I will be happy to forward your copies to them for a small fee.

For shipping by the Hubs in your country, here is how this works, I have done this with DB for the bullets group buy and it worked perfectly: First I will collect a shipping fee from one of the Hub. after they have it, they will send you a shipping invoice with all the fees added.

Eg. to UK, a small air packet shipping cost about $20 that is without any tracking No from Canada . if join the group shipping, it will cost only $3 to UK plus the shipping cost within UK and tips for the troubles by the HUBs, at the end, the total cost will be less than $20 for sure, and you will get it securely as well.

By saying this, I am trying to help the members the best I can. Pick the option that suits you the best. and Please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks all


May 1

April 22 Updates

And For UK and US members, if you want to save on the shipping cost (might save 50% than coming from me) and join the group shipping service provided by

Please let me know ASAP by PM or reply here.

April 13 Major Updates:

As I mentioned early, the steelbook is coming in about 3 weeks time.
And we wait for so long for this. Finally it is a great news for everyone.

There are some major changes during the past a few months I would like to have everyone's attention.

1) PRICE

at the moment, the Canadian Dollor is quite strong.
New price is Cdn $50, not $55. However, It might still look expensive to some members.
Once again, the reason is that the steelbook is not in mass release to the public.
It is highly limited, only 1000. And the cost for copyright and steelbook production
is way more than producing 10,000 steelbooks.

2)QUANTITY

Since there are so many members asked me for more than one copy, I have secured
enough copies (at least I think it is enough) to meet a such demand. Now, You can
ask for up to 3 copies if you want. Just simply reply the thread with how many copies you desire. For some of members might already know, the Farewell is similar to the Bullets steelbook, there are two versions of this, first 500 is with a booklet and special disc design, the later 500 is without this bonus. For members who want extras, I can only promise you one copy is in first 500,
the extra ones will be in numbers after 500. I would like to make sure all members on the list who can get one copy of the special edition and I think It is only fair to everyone.

3) THE LIST

Like I said, the GB list is sitting there for too long due to the delay, there might be some members already lost their interests on this. Therefore, I would like to do a recount. if you still want in this, PLEASE PLEASE reply the thread by stating the number of copies you would like.
For the members on the waitlist, please also let me know which country are you in.
I will merger you in the country list. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP. I will edit the list during the period of coming week. Then the group buy will close on April 22. And the invoice will be sent out on 23rd of April.

Any questions about the group buy, feel free to PM me or reply the thread.

Thanks all!

Hey MasterBlaster, would you mind popping the disc in and commenting on the PQ and AQ for this release? I'm interested about the transfer and have not decided if I want to open mine yet
 
Ok, im a lil bit confused about this release. Are you saying there are some delays for those who ordered more than one copies? And if so, are these orders will be fulfilled at all? I see you post in the SB section that you got your own copy but not a mint one and you can't get a replacement from blufans.

I just want everything to be clear and not worry about it cause Im leaving for Vietnam next month.
 
by the way Kevin, I received mine today. Excellent steelbook! muy perfecto :) I left positive feedback to your account.

I'm going to try to answer your questions.

The first copy 1x has arrived that includes the BONUS items inside the steelbook. Since you order 3x, the other TWO copies do NOT include the bonus inside the steelbook. Kevin is waiting for the copies without the bonus material so that he can ship all 3x together so you can save on shipping costs. Does that make sense? If you want the first 1x with the bonus now, then you'll need to pay the shipping. And when the other two copies arrived, then you'll need to pay another shipping fees again. I believe Kevin gave us the options earlier.

From Kevin:

June 19

For members who ordered more than one copy, the rest copies are not receiving as a promise by Blufans from Scanavo. There are two parts of delivery as schedule, first 500 received and second 500 which is supposed to be delivered last week, but NOT. Another two or three weeks needed for them to come in.

By the way, have fun in Vietnam. Bring a lot of protection :p

Thanks May for answering the question for me!

I am sorry I am quite busy lately and don't come here too often like used to. If some members have any questions, feel free email me, same as my Paypal address.

Yes, I am waiting for the second batch to come in and should be there soon.
And I will have the two dented copies replace with empty cases only, but not in the sealed condition anymore. :(
