Yeah, I see the links to ebay for man of steel

Dang Google is making some cents off the ads now

 

[lgans316]

The link is a preview to where half of these are destined for

 

[Actarus]

Oh thats pretty weird I dont see any such link. The only link I have in the GB post is this Release Discussion & Info : Click Here

Can you post a screenshot please of which link you are seeing? Thanks for your help.

No it is ''Man of Steel'' in the OP of the GB

 

[paulboland]

The links to ebay happen all the time when certain key words are used in a thread it automatically creates a link and this sends you to ebay with listings of that wording

It's best to use Lenti instead of lenticular
Some film titles also create a link automatically

This has been happening for over a year nothing new it's happened in a lot of threads and is why some of us don't mention a title of a movie by its full name
The more popular the film title or wording that is used a lot and has search history it will sometimes create a ebay link


If it happens in a GB best to create for example the correct link to a retailer website of that release instead or don't use the full title of the film

 

[dominic]

I don't see any of these links.On iPhone using safari.

Hope none of them that do are purchased using the GB
I'm sure it's still going to happen anyway has been with some previous releases

If a member want's to do this they should be ordering direct and not use a GB for that purpose but that's just my opinion that will be liked by some and others that won't

Don't use IE

On Chrome i don't see it

@Aniv its an automatic setting that helps keep the forum alive. However we can manually input words to EXCLUDE. But someone has to PM those requests. So something like "Lenticular Magnet" or "slipcover" should be excluded.

You still have each editions Full Slip or Lenticular Slip and Lenti Magnet Slip

They list this the reason for the Tip-On Jcards
Printing the 3D logo on the actual steelcase and slips is the last thing we wanted to do at Manta Lab, we have agreed to create a Tip-on for all ourpackages.

It means you have clean artwork on the steelbook and Slips with no rating logos or printed text on the the Steelbook or on the slips except the film title text

The Tip-On has the 3D and rating Logos and other Text that is often on a reverse of a Slip and spines

I think it's a good idea you have clean artwork on the front spine and back of each release with text been only the film title on the Steelbook and Slips

I think (and I hope) that the tip on is when they shrink wrapped the steelbook before putting in the full slip, lenti slip packaging

Thought I had it right, confirmed by Manta below, it's what HDN had to do with Zombieland

Oh no! That's too bad. I'm ok with the J card at the back, but not so much the blu ray 3D tip on in the front of the fab lenti & full slip art work.

My thoughts exactly but I had a feeling it would be this way as the listing of 2 different Tip Ons made sense to me

 

[InAFalsetto]

Quite frankly i'd rather they don't include these tip on's ... those of us that want to keep it sealed can't appreciate the fullslip now.

By all means give it as a seperate extra like Kimchi's Spectre 1/4 slip gift and Birdmans poster puzzle but don't cover the beautiful art work !!!

I don't believe they have a choice in the matter

Info from Manta Facebook page
< Information about Tip-on>

Many of our customers have asked us about the Tip-on which is included to each edition. Because we don't want to surprise our customers with different packaging for the final product, we have posted the images of Tip-on for our products here.

Tip-on is a a piece of paper that comes with the actual product and it's removable once you open our plastic wrapping.

Tip-on has been included to the package in order to follow standard and regulation of the WB Studio and ensure that you receive a genuine product with approval of the WB Studio. Also it serves as a way to indicate that the product is 2D and 3D by the standard .

Printing the 3D logo on the actual steelcase and slips is the last thing we wanted to do at Manta Lab, we have agreed to create a Tip-on for all ourpackages.

As our first release with WB Studio, we are trying our best to serve our customers with the best product possible and follow the WB studio's standard and regulation. We will further discuss to the WB studio for the possibility of removing the Tip-on with our future releases.

We wish you can understand our decision to make the best product possible following the standard and regulation of the WB studio.

Thanks for all the support and we will continue to work hard to serve our customers.

Best regards,
Manta Lab

The Tip on Jcard been wrapped sealed on the outside I don't see that been an issue
A Blufans and other Asia releases of a Full Slip or Lenti has a text info sheet on the back of a Full Slip or Lenti and if you kept your steelbook sealed you would not see the back artwork of them either unless you unsealed and removed the info card and some of them are glued to the slips

Most collectors when they purchase a release be it Asia or European or Local buy it to enjoy all it's contents and unseal it
It's only collectors that for whatever reasons they have and that can be a number of reasons keep a release fully sealed in its original shrink wrapping

What I do with all my steelbook purchases is I use poly bags to keep protected but they are fully opened as in shrink wrapping removed

I still think unless a customer is planning to sell or trade a release keeping it sealed is really not getting the value and enjoyment of a release you can't view and enjoy the steelbook/booklet/artcards etc if kept sealed as in never opened
If a member has reasons for keeping sealed then a Jcard been attached makes no difference to keeping a Blufans Release sealed you cant see the back of a Blufans Slip unless you remove the info sheet

Sounded to me, from one of the posts, that they didn't have a choice with the tip on...

Edit: Someone else already included the Manta Labs tip on details...

 

[SteelCollz]

I'm kind of surprised at the reaction to the Tip-on here. Nearly every release has a J-Card or a backpaper, this is no different and even helps to remove one 3D logo of the steel/slip itself. This is pretty normal stuff and nothing new or particularly bad.

 

[InAFalsetto]

@zesty @vega2k

It would be nice if they double shrink wrap it ... one without the tipon and then again with the tip on.

So then you can remove one layer of shrink wrap and it still remains sealed. A bit like how the Kimchi Whiplash lenti had a shrink wrap over it.

 

[Maximus15]

Damn if I knew the tip on was going to cover the back artwork I would have bought another lenti too so I can have an open and sealed one

But at least no stupid 3D logo!! That's the important thing!!

Manta & @Aniv please don't use tip on's again , I know you were forced to this time but maybe something like Blufans little 1/4 card or a thin j-card inside? Or maybe even just print this info very very very small on the bottom of the slip? Or last option would be to wrap and seal the steelbook, then seal the fullslip, then put the tip on, then seal again!! Remember this is what FA does with their lenti magnets, (steelbook sealed, then lenti magnet applied, then sealed again) double wrap

At least that way the stupid studios get their way and we get the option to take the tip on off and still have a sealed product
