We've been saving our pennies for all these John Wick 2 releases @Aniv!

Right @bloodsnake007?

 

[JackRegan]

I also agree with the contrast. But the problem with passing is that there is no other premium release unless you want to wait for the FA version. That would mean the FA version won't match the first anyway.

So if you get a non premium sequel then you have a premium JW1 with a standard steel in a non full slip sequel. That's the issue.

Do what I did, source the Lenti (again) then at least you have matching premiums but in an O Ring instead.

Yes, good points. (I have all three Nova and FA fulslips fo JW1) Lenti looks fine and matches the first - a tad overpriced but that's not the point; if only it had been the fullslip I'd b reasonably content . . . .
Decisions, decisions . . .

 

[dfoles]

Definitely getting the lenti. Can't wait

So around 1600 / 4000 copies have been sold via various GBs till date. That's a good start but if I was Nova, I would immediately suspend more allocation to GBs and make sure enough copies are available at their website. The intention is to sell out, fair enough but as a well known established retailer with a more stable website, morality and ethics should be put first. Always encourage consumers to get via their store.

Something tells me that order direct will be similar bloodbath as it was with Kimchi´s Life the other day

At least kimchi only allocate small amounts to GBs as per cooeys comment leaving the majority of customers to buy direct at cost. Top marks to kimchi on that.
Nova have gone down in points IMO for allocating nearly half to GBs

Maybe they allocated more for GB due to the print run and due to the fact that the ones they released recently haven't sold well yet. Nova made some terrible decisions with their NC line up, and probably they and Kill Bills could potentially end up in the XMas sale.

 

[Hereticz]

Yea but Kill Bills are catalogue items, JW2 is pretty hyped right now, my bet it´s gonna be soldout within a minutes, If not seconds.

 

[sunnyx]

If you want any edition I doubt all would sell out on the dot. But don't expect them to still be around like an hour later.

They know this is going to sell out. Nova shouldn't of allowed such a high amount to GBs. It won't be a kill bill situation. It's not an attack on hosts either, It's about nova and how they have gone about things.
It also allows a high number of customers and scalpers to get copies from GBs and then direct on the day.
That's all I have to say about it

 

[yardman]

it was only lastnight i noticed another group buy on facebook, gonna be a nightmare to try and bag one at retail,
its either pay higher prices in goup buys or take a slim chance on release day,

Remember what you said before Life has started?

"When I wake up next morning I will be reading all the messages of how smooth it was to order, right? "

WRONG!

 

[sunnyx]

It depends if you want the one 1 click and lenti. They will sell out on the dot. Then full slip A and then lastly full slip B

Nope, as they didn't all sell out on the dot. The Full Slip was hovering around for ten minutes

Camon admit it, you didn´t expect such a success of Life

But I agree with you on 1click and Lenti, these will be out lightning speed, but I still hope I will manage it through somehow. At least Im not gonna be on my stupid slow phone

 

[paulboland]

This will sell out on pre order day
How fast that will be is a guessing game at the moment
It could be a few min or a few hours

I decided to use the Group Buy as it's shipped direct from Nova

I don't mind the extra cost of $10
It's when it's a extra $20-$30 or more when it was the previous older HUB method that I did not like
I don't have any issues with HDN fees as it helps the website it's when you have to pay shipping cost twice (Retailer to HUB and Shipping from HUB to Customer + PayPal Fees twice that makes a GB expensive)

Group Buy retailers providing shipping direct with Group Buys is what I asked for back in 2016 and provides good saving on costs and added advantage of ordering early before retailer website go live especially with releases you expect will sell out fast.

When it's a release I expect won't sell out on pre order day I will of course order direct to save that extra $10

 

[sunnyx]

A 'bloodbath' definition in my opinion is when you order the second it goes live by F5 refreshing and cannot successfully checkout.

If you cannot order by doing as described as fast as possible at checkout that is a bloodbath. It's happened to me on several occasions.

If it's still available even after minutes to spare that is not a bloodbath as you went to order on time and was able to checkout as normal.

It went faster than I thought but the full slip didn't sell out on the dot. Those minutes makes the difference between joining a GB or not and if it's a 'bloodbath'

 

[lgans316]

Even if I miss this, there are better alternatives to consider.

If the NL release is done right then that will be the one to own.
