Quite simply if the art is different from what is already out there then I'm all over this.
Not many movies out there I will happily double dip for but this is one of them, awesome movie that gets me as much as I get it

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

I'm all over this already...Hope the Artwork and finishing is more than Awesome

I gotta have this steelbook.

This is gonna be my first blufans .

Hoping for The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 or a really colorful Guardians!

Hoping for incredible hulk too.

I will be hosting the group buy ... when its time to open I will edit the OP of the post and post in this thread again.... I can tell you right now patience is key and also it wont open in january .... so start paying more attention in early Feb for any update. Thanks.

Oh I'm patience. Specially for this

When you join a Blufans steelbook group buy it is helpful to pretend that you are the daddy, Blufans is the mommy, and the steelbook is the baby. Blufans babies can take about as long as human babies to be delivered to you. Just figure about 9 months from conception to delivery and you'll avoid needless frustration.

That long?! Oh man. Well ill wait ,never had a blufan.

 

[mackyboy]

You indeed have to be very patient for Blufans releases, the date given is never the date of release but most often pushed ahead. I pre-Ordered Blufans Frozen in early April and I received them end of November, I pre ordered all The Marvel Releases(last summer) and they are only being released from February to April that is if it is on schedule...it's always(most of the time) a 3 to 6+ months wait from date of ordering...that is just an average, but do not expect to have them the next month when you pre-order as you will be disappointed. but they are worth the wait.

Why that long? Is this because it's coming from china?

 

[Parminder]

I will be very interested in this GB please give me a shout

Why that long? Is this because it's coming from china?

it's that long because it's Blufans ! from the time they announce to the discussions/negotiation they have back and forth with the production company to have their WEA artwork approved and that is usually lengthy. After that Production starts (already few months have passed) - sometimes production issues like Wall-e, Thor, Frozen etc... after that they have to reproduce the missing stock or by the time they decide what to do it's again long....after that there is the shipping which is also usually long internally... so to create a WEA it is Pretty Long, if it would not be of the difficulty they have with the production company to have their artwork approved and no manufacturing issues it would go faster...but in a nut shell that is it, an average of 6 months is not unusual.

@Wreck @tnguyen13 before the Gb is Opened goes live, will we know if there is 1 or 2 versions of it as it would be difficult to say what we want if we are not aware if Blufans will have only 1 version of GOTg or there will be 2 Versions Ie: 3D Lenti and FullSlip

???

GotG WEA is confirmed totally different from the previous Walkman art, but the art choices from the studio are quite limited. We should see the approved artworks in early March.

 

[Wreck]

in other words, probably nova slip art but on steel. (potential)

 

[Codarl]

Got into collecting steelbooks late so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Excited to order my first blufans without having to pay eBay prices. Can't wait to see the artwork.

 

[egypt]

this will be my first blufans as well and my second steelbook, can't wait!

Never bought a blu-fans before, this may have to be my first, love love LOVE this movie ❤

 

[mnementh]

My guess is that we won't be seeing this until May at the earliest. And thats assuming no re-presses are required

I hope they keep this to either 1 or 2 releases (Lenti and/or 1/4 Slip) - my wallet can't cope with much more

 

[smabu]

May go for this if there's a lenticular. Like the NovaMedia ones but haven't robbed any banks recently.
