So is this going to be another blind buy like GOTG Vol. 2?

Or will images of the slips be released before that?

Wait and find out.

update from other site

The group buys will be on Nov. 4th and more details will be posted next week. Thanks

@cooey take it ours be around same time?

Think it's now ViPs can pre-order on the 4th Nov. Main GBs are on the 11th Nov. For the other site that is.

From kevin

They will be Double lenti, Single lenti and Fullslip

 

[Skyarcke]

Hoping we get the beauty shots next week!!

I’m also hoping if the steelbook really was as washed out as the live pics we’ve seen suggested, they used the extra time they had to order new ones that better match the mock ups.

This looks great.

Can't wait for it.

Double Lenti Edition 3 Discs (3D+2D+Bonus Disc)
Single Lenti Edition 2 Discs (3D+2D)

And a collector boxset contains all 3 editions.

More details will be posted next week.

We knew about the GB date change and the release types but it’s great they’re providing the bonus disc with the double lenti! That’ll probably be the one to go for as always

 

[Gorfang]

I will go for the boxset, it must be amazing

Double lenti it is then for the 3 discs.

I hope the finished article is good. Better than the disappointing GOTGV2 double lenti attempt.......

I’m still a little floored Blufans put the front of the steelbook on the front of the double lenti. What were they thinking? It’s like that time they messed up the title on the Ant-Man lenti, or put Ultron on the back of the steel AND the lenti.

Sometimes they do stuff that just doesn’t make sense. Though I guess every retailer does that from time to time. I just expect more from them. They’ve been in this game for ages. They know what we want.

OK I'm asking because I'm curious. Why do they have a double lenti and a single lenti?

Do some people tend to have a preference for one over the other?
Please remember, I'm still new to this.

If I recall, when it was reversed, a lot of people said they would prefer it to be changed.
And then they changed it.

Absolutely. They changed it. Not many retailers would listen to feedback like they did and regularly do. For that I applaud them. But the original design still mystifies me, and we are still getting that design on the back of the lenti now.

It’s not fair of course, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I’m just pointing out how nonsensical that original design was. It’s so un-Blufans to use a design that ridiculous and redundant. Disney is annoying but in their rush to capitalize on GOTG2’s home release Blufans accepted that design and rushed those beauty shots out. It’s undeniable.

I guess the bottom line is Blufans wants you to go for all 3 editions and buy the One Click.

Some prefer double over single lentis and vice versa (or even full slips over lentis). It's all down to personal choice. I'm guessing each edition will have a variation of different goodies also so that could be a factor in people deciding (if they're buying just one edition)......

Personally I would like to have all 3 discs so I hope the overall double lenti package looks good.

Traditionally, the single lenti design is a lenticular on the front and some kind of neat finish on the back. Kimchi’s Finding Dory release is an excellent example. Lenti on the front, amazing bubble finish on the back. So some people like the option where you get a full slip type finish on one side and a lenti on the other.

Another thing to consider is some people like the images used on the single lentis. It’s nice having a choice of images. Some people like the single lenti on Doctor Strange Blufans better than the double. Or the Rocket & Groot GOTG Blufans. Very popular single lenti options.

Well I think that's what I was kind of thinking. Personally, I would think lenti on 1 side would be enough.

Phew

Glad the pre order changed. Not at a wedding that day

This film gets better every time i watch it. Great movie bring on the GB. SB looks awesome
One thing they missed out of the battle at the end, would of been the icing on the cake for me.
