As my order will be going to Rep of Ireland I should not have any customs problems

I'm curious what value to Blufans mark on the packaging as this is my first order with them and we did not have a option to choose like we do with Kimchi/Plain Archive/NovaMedia to say we wanted to be marked as $20.00

They usually mark Gift $20. You can request Kevin to declare it your way once you paid for the item.

I have my shipping box from Kung-Fu 1 & 2 from Blufans and it's marked $20 US and i am from Canada, mind you there were 2 copies of each, the other copies were for a locate friend.

Enjoy the goodness coming soon to your fingertips...

Top two above are the V1 cases (original design with error)

Back of the Lenti

Without a doubt, this is the Iron Man steel to own. Beats every Iron man version out there IMO (respect to FS version which started the trend)
I'm glad I'm able to get this for cost price.

Liked the original box art concept way better than the actual pics..

This feels like Pacific Rim all over again. Not bad but not as good as the 'now' concept. What do you all think?

 

[charleybusko]

Keep in mind that the original concept must have been nixed by the marvellous folks @ Disney Marvel. The back artwork of the mock up was not gonna work as it's the front design of the Kimchi version. I'm sure the restrictions were pretty high, so Blufans probably didn't have much in terms of leeway. That being said, I'm pretty pleased with the finished product. Totally awesome, which of course should be expected when it comes to Blufans.

So these will be shipped next week for the international members over at BD forum but we haven't even been invoiced yet?

Why is that?

Yeah, you`re totally right. I just wrote that in the other forum.
Like the older design better. No asian writings anymore. Sad. And slip looks almost like the kimchi one. Blufans steel does look better than kimchi , but the kimchi Lenti slip is really good.
It thought of two completely different slips when I put my name in the GB. Now I am a bit disappointed.

It's a shame but I agree with you bud. This doesn't feel extra special imo especially given all the hype. In fact it feels very 'samey'. And the kimchi Lenti looks crisper.

But hopefully when some better pics are posted or seeing it in hand it will look better.

The original concept art with Asian text looked much cooler. Still a nice enough release for the collection though.

Invoices were sent out before Christmas

Im afraid your mistaken. I never got an invoice from the GB here at HDN (that's a very confusing/misleading/ignorant / untrue statement).

You do know we are on HDN here , right?

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Sorry-non hdn invoices were sent out before Christmas-still not had tracking even though release was pencilled in as 29th december

From Kevin over there:

The domestic orders got shipped first and the international orders will start shipping next week.

Anyway. From what I can tell this slip is exactly like the Kimchi one. That's a bunmer. Wonder if they used the same company?

The BF Lenti has the image lower on the slip, with the title at the very bottom, so I guess there are enough differences. But it does feel really similar to kimchi's and a bit too far from the original design in the op.

Should still look good next to each other though

Well,to me they are far away from being identical-there are a lot of differences-glad i ordered both


btw.: HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

[Hooch]

Have there been pics/mock ups of the BF 1/4 slip?

 

[Gadget]

I couldn't get the kimchidvd Iron Man, but I knew the lenticular slips were going to look very similar. I would have had a lenticular from one and a 1/4 slip from the other...

 

[Hatori]

@Hooch Unfortunately, there are no pictures yet.

 

[lgans316]

The customs in me shouts another Fake. [emoji33]

 

[kaamelott]

Not even because there is a little modification.

 

[Hatori]

I must admit that I would have preferred the original slip with the chinese writing:
