Correct @Shagrath

Thanks for keeping us updated as usual mate much appreciated...

 

[Hartigan]

Ill put my discs from the amaray Blu-ray case I already have into the empty steelbook
I'm looking forward to getting the Lenticular Gladiator steekbook as it looks fantastic

Same here. I'm totally cool with the spare case, especially since it's free . BF charged for IM.

 

[hayemaker]

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful here, far from it, but what do I do with a possibly less than 100% quality, empty steelbook case. Can't wait to get this one in my hands.... but an empty case?????

Same as what the people did who got an empty case of Iron Man from Blufans - stick it on ebay.

 

[tommyh84]

Isn't there usually a thread for the hubs?

 

[IRON MAN]

Reminder folks, trading posts are not allowed in the release threads and will be removed, please start a trade thread in our trade section here. Thanks.

 

[DJ IXS]

I'm VERY happy about the decision to include the free extra case. Unlike the Iron Man blu fans, where we had to pay for it. Awesome news! Thanks!

 

[digitalbabe]

Hi guys if you have purchased a tripack and are in the USA and have not sent me your address please get in touch asap so the others on the list don't need to wait to have info sent to Xin for shipping. I have most and sent pm over last week. I look forward to hearing from the rest. Thanks all!

Re: 'Spare Case'

Forcing myself to do this - supplying a 'so-called spare case' is NOT compensation in any way, shape or form, as in this particular instance it is simply a way of unloading merchandise of unmerchantable quality!

After all this bloody palava we deserve significantly more than this, and should get it!

I suggest you think again - very seriously this time!!

@JackRegan

GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU .

don't be ungrateful, be glad they atleast giving us something

 

[nicblue]

I cant believe some people would be upset with a free case as compensation for a delay. Everyone here knows that without these guys hosting this group buy no one would be getting this relase at a reasonable price in the first place? The $5 credit from walle was cool, but at least we are getting something for free....just because we had to wait longer...free...

I work retail sooo I shouldn't expect any less with the tons of rude people I deal with daily.

Thanks for the free case. I would have been fine with nothing though

 

[Miffed]

I work retail sooo I shouldn't expect any less with the tons of rude people I deal with daily.

haha amen to that man!

I am not overly fussed by the delay and therefore anything that is free is good for me.
Also I wasnt planning on opening this so to have a case I can put the disc from an amaray in is actually pretty cool.
and a third point as I'm on a role, didnt something similar happen with blufans and they CHARGED EXTRA FOR A CASE which people thought was great!!!

I'm just really excited to finally get hold of this!

 

[wjasoncul]

It's not like any of this was HDZeta's fault in the first place. I'm happy with any kind of compensation.

 

[JackRegan]

don't be ungrateful, be glad they atleast giving us something

You be grateful for a substandard case if you want to; but I will keep this in context of the fact that we are NOT talking of a bargain basement item we've ordered, and the delay is NOT inconsiderable; so why should anyone be grateful for cast offs?! Furthermore, it's no use saying HD Zeta are not responsible - it is as much down to them, as Scanavo to ensure quality standards are met ON TIME!

In the final analysis what they are doing is tantamount to peeing in your shoes and telling you it's raining!

And, before anyone throws the baby out with the bathwater - I too used to work in the retail trade - as a Jeweller, and we held the highest standards, and kept to the maxim: 'The customer is always right'.

Enough said!

 

[PHD]

well well, nobody was ever held at gun point to stay in the group buy after the delay was announced...
if you stuck with the group buy, it meant all is well with the delay as long as HD Zeta release was of the quality everyone expected.
the extra case is only a bonus that we have come to know about and was never part of the complete package.

...and i'm happy for it...after all its FREE...
and if anyone has trouble thinking what to do with this extra case or if you think it has no place in your glorious collection,
then you can send them extra case to me

I'm live in the states and bought the full slip....what's going on with this....who did I need to contact for shipping info and any other info that may be need...

 

[Starling]

In the words of this judge, this is clearly an open and closed case, now let's move on.

They will shipped to the USA group buy host ( i think its apsmith or digitalbabe). You will receive a pm from them, so you can give them your address and pay the shipping cost

 

[terry44]

I am happy with the freebie its better than nothing
