The website shows it as being white.

That's odd :-/

@EverythingBlu Why is the hand on the back of the Blu Box not in white?

In one of their many updates they decided to change it because the effect wasn't right. Whether that's true or cost cutting we will never know but I also prefer the mock up with the White hand.

But I knew about the change anyway and it does look decent in the pics

@wouter what are those little EB white coin things? Did they come with this?
And how would you compare the lenti to the uk lenti magnets like Spider-Man and hulk?
I get its not as good as the Asians which are top game and in a league of their own but I'm hoping it's better than the uk lentis and FAC lentis like deadpool (which I'm thinking of selling)

 

[wouter]

@wouter are those little round white EB velvety stickers like the one with their Killer Klowns release?
thanks for the pics btw

yes

I don't remember that update. In any case, it still shows as white on their website. They might wanna change that or a new customer will order it and not be very impressed.

2 EB stickers were included.

EB asked me for feedback, and like I've told them, I'm not an expert in comparing lenti's It's just a feeling, I think their lenti is ok, but not great. Again, it's my personal opinion and I could be completely wrong

Yeah noticed it was still white on their mock up. It's sold out anyway so I doubt they will bother updating it

Update was a few months ago, can't remember when. If you are on their mailing list then you should of had a email

Interesting

I'm a lenti nut like quite a few on here and will be happy to share feedback with them once I receive it. It's got to be sent first though lol

Just hoping it's better than the uk spideys, hulk, wolverines and hunger games which are the best I've personally seen in the UK.
And even then they are not Asian standard. Even ammrays get better lentis slips with more depth lol (Enders game for example). So aslong as it's better than those ill be happy, especially at a premium price

Ahh they are stickers, didn't realise that, thought they were like plastic chips

^ Yes, it's true, the main complete image of the Blubox on their website does still show a white hand but if you click on the individual images alongside you'll see that it's been updated to the red which I personally think looks far superior to the white and super effective in execution and possibly the best part of the box.
Just spitballing here but another reason for the red hand could have been to throw into relief the white "UNIVERSAL" logo and maybe the colour change from white to red was requested by the studio.
Anyway, I believe it's OOP/OOS.

Best thing about the release could be the outer box which looks splendiferous . . . high hopes for something of equal quality for THE MUMMY TRILOGY.

Thanks for posting these - I've not been following too closely (I think I'll wait to see if they do the entire trilogy in one box) - for some reason I thought it was a cut out slip (on the back) that would match up with the steelbook behind it.

Cool effect though.

How do you know that?



I'm not whinging but I find it hilarious and ridiculous at the speed they are sending them out in, nearly a week since it started dispatching. Plus we were told they were being shipped in order so i mentioned my order number to get a grasp on what order they are actually shipping out in and help others who want to know.
That way people can say on here their number and if it's been dispatched etc.

Otherwise they lied to us about sending them out in order

After all the delays I can wait, I don't give a **** about all that but their slowness is slightly embarrassing

Fair play ...

I think one of their fatal mistakes was to participate in conversations directly with their customers. By doing that they have invited all sorts of questions which once answered is recorded permanently on the forum allowing members with a sharp eye to cross examine and call them out if they don't stick to what they have said.

You don't see Kimchi, Nova, Blufans, FAC talking to their buyers like that but we still give them our cash and accept delays.

Good point.

Don't get me wrong I've moaned about the delays but I've also expressed this being their first main release I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But they are not helping themselves and their rep.

By the way i was supposed to put a "lol" after my 5 a day comment and not a !

I have a feeling this is a one man band and if true I'm assuming he or she has a normal job too. That being said if they knew the release date was defo last Friday they should of taken the week off work. That comment might not go down well with a lot but I'm being honest. but that might not be the case

I don't care about numbers either but for some odd reason I wanted a low number with this - maybe because it's the first major uk premium and we were told they would be sent in order of order placed so that's why I might seem a bit edgy about it all, also why I shared my order number so we could try and work out if higher order numbers have been sent. Usually I don't care about it all though.

Like your comment we all seen this a million times and it's always on tv and I agree but after all the delays we just want in hand now and shipping started 5 days ago.
I have no option other than to wait and that's cool but I'm also commenting on their practice which is fine to comment on

Feedback is feedback and without it you can't improve

 

[howarmat]

the box looks amazing. I cant wait for mine to make it across the pond.

and as a result I'll be quicker to buy from EB again before Nova/Kimchi ... better customer service straight off the bat.

so this release does really exist, thought it was a myth

i am still 'unfulfilled,' in more ways than one. i think i have progressed from expectant, contented Ed below to Shaun in the last few days...

[asda1994]

Still waiting for mine to be shipped

 

[asda1994]

But the box dose look fantastic

 

[Lone Crusader]

I have order #1198 and that was like 2 seconds after it went live. Now we wait until the sun burns out for our stuff.

 

[sunnyx]

I was under the impression that these all gets shipped on release date and the packaging was done for the release date. It appears that packing and orders are being done each day, and small batches are slowly being dispatched. I won't get my hopes high on a speedy dispatch from now on.
