I understand many of those sentiments. Right now one thing with Ads is they are a work in progress. Since you have to optimize as to what works, what doesnt, what looks like crap, what can you live with etc. its all still being worked on actually. I had an email come across today from @apsmith21 where he noticed one agency had an audio ad that played. We will not stand for that. So he quickly removed them entirely. So I know its a bit of a hard time right now to get the message out there to everyone but the point is we are still not in our final locations etc. as we have to test areas for performance. Testing something for 1 day does not give you enough metric to judge ... so if everyone can just bare with us and give us time to work on it and we will make a public announcement when we think we are in a final state and then field questions issues then in regards to Ads. if you have stuff that breaks pages send screen shots to @apsmith21 as I think we are past those now. we have 2 apps in approval right now with iOS and Android as well so looking to make other ways to view site as well. We got a whole lot going on.

As for the GB issues that happened yesterday no one is more embarrassed or upset then those of us involved with that process behind the scenes. Sh!t will always happen no matter what its about , best any one can do with those challenges is learn from them and try to better the experience for everyone. So we're workin...

 

[Wreck]

ps. had we not have oversold..... 50+ people wouldnt have been getting a copy. Blufans also had strict limitation of 1x on Strange. So likely even if some folks happened to beat the low qty offered on 2 editions they still would have been refunded as per blufans rules.

So really even the failure that happened really just rewarded more people and just added more work to simply HDN. Seems like a win for everyone except me and cooey haha

Nooooooo, I couldn't participate to this GB.

Big thanks to @cooey and @Wreck for all the work in getting these extra copies. It's very much appreciated!

 

[Nikofrance]

Do you know if a new batch of lenticular will be issued? The number of units available seems very low.

 

[Danzigg1979]

wow reading through these comments just reminds me how sought after Marvel titles are and how great this site is and the people that run it. Hope @Wreck and @cooey got themselves a copy, looks like a contender for steel of the year.

I highly doubt it

Very doubtful. And as @Wreck said the number of lentis available is very low due to the way that Blufans has split up this release.

2000 steel print run

500 x 1clicks = 1500 steels, so only 500 steels available between the single and double lenti individual releases.
If they split it down the middle then HDN has managed to secure nearly 25% of all the individual double lentis for it's GB members.

 

[Nikofrance]

I highly doubt it

Thank you for your answer. That may be the first Marvel Blufans I'll be missing.
Thanks.

Highly sought because of WEA + Full Gloss + Embossing + the limited 2K print run. If it was higher then there wouldn't be such a hysteria surrounding this release.

because most people would get a copy. I dont understand why they do a 2K print run.

You've hit the nail on the head, by reducing the print run the problem is doubled - there are less available AND the fact that there are less available means more people want to make sure they get a copy while they can. As I said before this also encourages more scalpers than usual, so really it's a triple problem .

Hopefully someone will have a quiet word with BluFans to suggest not reducing the print run in future. After all it doesn't benefit anybody, BluFans make less money, a lot of collectors miss out on getting a copy, and it cause chaos in the GBs. All for the sake of being able to say it's a slightly rarer edition.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Don't forget there is another GB on the other forum so all is not lost to pick up a copies at more or less retail price.

 

[lgans316]

Personally I prefer limited print run like 2K as that injects fun and passion into collecting. )

VIPs do benefit. Their copies don't drop in value.

I'm happy with a 2k print run. Keeps premium Steelbook collecting special.

Agree and not agree.

Agree for the passion into collecting.

Not agree because there's so many scalpers who took the copy because it's so limited, so a lot of REAL COLLECTOR can't grab a copy because sold out too fast.

I will always hate those people who buy just to resell.

I was told, they just "help moving stock"

 

[polton]

It s fun when you grab one. If not ..........

 

[nekromantik]

Great work @cooey and @Wreck
S##t went down and you guys owned it and dealt with it.

On another topic, the GB system now has its own negatives like payments upfront rather then in the future.
This may restrict some people from buying high cost titles such as BF.

yes true and a few of them came over here saying they did not want to chance missing out and how they felt bad towards kevin lol, obviously not that bad
so that has not helped either i would suggest those that have missed out return the favour for there own collection.
bet it be bloodbath over there too.

@Wreck @cooey
shame being a premium member here doesn't entitle access to a gb early like an hdn vip as a thought bet you see more premium members then also, which would help fund the site.

at least that way people who use this site on a regular basis and don't just turn up for a gb every so often and dont get involved.
I think personally its cheeky and taking away from real members here that could not get one, but thats my honest opionon.

all the best
