Hi all,

I have been given the go-ahead to do a GB, thanks Mods! So Chanfm and I are going to sweep the retail outlets on release date, planned for 29 August 2012, so we are doing a mini-GB for this, 50 copies of 3D version and 25 copies of the normal blu-ray version steelbook. Yes, there are 2 separate items in this GB :>. As this is my first organised GB, please bear with me if it is not runned smoothly. ;)

Terms
- HDN rules apply to this GB.
- This GB is NOT intended for you to sell on ebay, so I am restricting to 2 per member for the 3D version and 1 per member for the normal blu-ray version NB: I have full discretion to restrict to 1 copy for the 3D version if demand is overwhelming. My objective is to let as many people as possible on HDN to own this, not for anyone to make a profit from it in future.
- I am not too fussed if you back out later on (e.g. if this indeed doesn't turn out to be a steelbook, but a VMB or something), but I would expect you to honour it if you commit to this GB. I have a full-time job, so this will take up a lot of my free time (in fact, as I told FM, I may have to take leave on 30 August!)

Payment
- Payment is only required a week before release date, i.e. from 24 August. I will send you individual invoice via PM, payment via paypal only

Price
- 3D version - US$50
- Normal version - US$32

Shipping and other fees
- I will ship in a box with bubble-pack protection. Pricing of box is US$2 (for 1-2 items), US$3 for 3 items
- Postage is approximately US$12 for 1 item, US$20 for 2 items, US$28 for 3 items
- Paypal fees (4%) to be borned by you
- US$1 per steelbook for donation to HDN
- I will bear the standard HDN GB fees
- Any tips are fine, non-obligatory :emb:

Total cost
- 3D version - US$67
- Normal version US$49 (slightly lower if you buy the 3D one too)

Shipping
- I will ship within 2-3 days of release, i.e. from 30 August to 2 September. If there is a delay in release, I will update here, and will only be able to ship on 10 September onwards (as I will be in Bangkok from 3 to 8 September for a family holiday, and to pick up copies of Avengers Thailand :D)

So, let's get this started...Mods, please PM me if I miss out anything, :emb:

16 August 2012 Update, PLS READ

Dear all, I believe this is going to be a Viva Metal Box, not a steelbook, as mentioned a couple of times in this text and in this thread. Please PM me if you wish to drop out of this GB. I will be sending invoices to everyone this Saturday (which could be your Friday night, where you are) and Sunday. Once invoices are sent, I will expect you to follow-through and settle payment. I am now sending out 60 3Ds, and 33 2Ds in total.

Final price, all-inclusive, is slightly lower than above, as follows. Tips of course will be much appreciated.

1) 1 x Avengers 3D - US$66

2) 1 x Avengers 2D - US$47

3) 1 x Avengers 3D & 1 x Avengers 2D - US$108

2 September update

See post # 198 on Page 11 for tracking information. Really hope I didnt miss out anyone. If so, please PM me, I will check my records and you can be sure if it is my mistake, I will get a copy out to you on the week of 10 September, and it will be the embossed slipcover one.

Hello Aprilarrow,

Can you ask your supplier to take picture of the item? I would like to know if it's a steelbook or a viva....big difference in two different steel cases.

Much appreciated.

Hi, good news, I am sure everyone will agree. I have spoken to the supplier, the physical samples are here (it was in her hands when we spoke!), and they have confirmed both the 3D and the 2D are steel (again, they could still be Viva metal boxes, but certainly not amaray). The slipcovers in the pictures are also reflective of the actual item, so I think the GB is all-set-go. I will be sending individual invoices by this weekend. I can now also confirm I can up the GB quantities to 60 3D, and 30 2D, so some more of you can come aboard. Apologies to those who still missed it, we can speak again when the item is available in the local stores. Cheers, all.

Hi, they wont, before actual release, sorry. Please assume it is a Viva, because they are saying it is exactly the same as the previous release, John Carter, which was a Viva. Of course, as I have said a couple of times, unless you are a collector, you wont really know the diff between a steel and a Viva, they just say it is metal packaging.

Thanks for the information. After seeing pics of the China being Viva, I have a stronger feeling it is probably the same, including Taiwan. Unfortunately, I can't cancel my jsdvd order as I prefer this version more. Oh well...

Thanks, sorry meant PM if im added to main list to get a copy. Unlikely i know.

Sorry, it was just my little joke...:D

I very much doubt either of us will get bumped up far enough to get added, so I have also joined another GB for the Avengers (the Canada metal box version, which looks very cool...here https://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/19114/&page=14) and I believe that the GB is down to its final 2 slots, so worth thinking about.

Cheers,
Kevin
