Totally agree mate, part of the fun is unsealing the item yourself. I just presumed they would be sealed inside the box. I would be more tempted to go for the individual editions now I know this.
That is the buzz. That's what you pay top dollars for. First to open and unwrap it like was bar of willy wonka's chocolate bar lol

We better be careful, we're moaning again

I've lost the compete buzz for this. The endless delays which hasn't hyped this in no shape or form (normally it does and the anticipation kills); the metal numbering card which I remembered HDN's first exclusive had one thought it be cool and unique but now we get plastic cards instead last minute change..., the slips aren't even sealed for the Hardbox...

The whole thing gives me the pictures of a very disorganised and unsophisticated retailer. If I feel no buzz for this, and I am sure many would agree, how confident and excited are we going to be for the next release?

Received my BB today in the US. Was initially supposed to be delivered yesterday but I wasn't going to be home to sign so I had them schedule it for today. Then DHL didn't even bother having me sign for it :squint:.

The release looks and feels great. A couple of my nitpicks have already been mentioned, such as the spacing in the blubox and slipped editions not being sealed individually. Another thing I noticed was the jcard seemed like it was printed on someone's desktop printer, all the text is pixelated and hard to read.

For those trying to do any correlation to order # and box # my order was 1008 and my box number ended up being 12.

True but it's constructive feedback and something EB need to look into for there next release. I think a lot of people will be put off if the items aren't individually sealed.

Oh I'm just joking around, I'm taking the p*ss out of the people who moan about the people moaning. It's all been constructive IMO from the feedback about delays, sending out parcels, how many each time and the 6 month wait since paying for this, the constant changes since paying for it and now the unsealed editons in the box.
But someone who thinks they are a hero will say something like "oh I can wait" "I've waited longer for other editons" etc - I can wait too but I can also see through the lies for delays and other things like changes

Now I've gone for the box for this I will want the box for hot fuzz and worlds end but I doubt I'll support them much after that. And I doubt I'll order on day 1 too.

They need to sort their act out after this and like I've said many times I'm cool with a few things as its their first main release but I can't see things changing IMO

The fact they have been absent on here recently says it all
 
I'm gonna see how the box arrives in. If it feels and looks cheap and rushed I'm gonna stick it on eBay and get rid of it. If I keep it then I'm going to be supporting them all like you said. Before I can even make a professional judgment EB needs to ship the damn thing.

Pics do look good though and the box does look lovely but yeah get what your saying
 
From the horse's mouth:-

RE: NUMBERED CARDS
Hello,
Order numbers do not collate to the numbering cards. We will be shipping randomly to be completely fair.
Thank you.
EverythingBlu (19th March)

Hello,
Orders will ship in the order we received them. Please remember your order numbers do not collate exactly to your numbering and we received a lot of orders all at the same time so naturally, the computer puts them into its own list. We have seen many people wondering why they got a number, say, 50 when they ordered seconds after pre-order. It's because you are not the only person ordering as im sure you all know lol.
Thanks for the feedback!

RE: SEALED STEELBOOKS/SLIPS
Hello,
Likely will have j-Cards removed for the Blu Box Slips inside (full & lenti) The Blu Box itself will have a J-card of some kind as needed to follow the regulations.
EverythingBlu (8th Feb)

Can't find the EB message . . . but I remember reading that as the Blubox is sealed with the J-card it was decided as unnecessary to further seal the two sliipcovers. I can imagine THE MUMMY TRILOGY will be no different (alas)

RE: DIMENSIONS OF BLUBOX
H: 19cm
W: 5cm

RE: CHANGE FROM WHITE TO RED FOR THE HAND ON BACK OF BLUBOX
Hello,
BLU BOX PHOTOS: They are coming, we have had to do another change as the detail in the hand on the back did not show enough detail for our liking using the white foiling. So, we are removing white foiling on the rear, and replacing it with detailed debossing. We have seen what they can do with highly detailed debossing on faux leather so we hope this will work with our zombie hand. It was going to be debossed anyway, but removing the foiling will allow much more detail in the palm of the hand etc. We hope we can have the finished product & photos by end of next week.
EverythingBlu (1st March)

Hello,
Release date currently stands as the 7th April still. Likely would have been earlier if the faulty was right with the first mock up but unfortunately the back hand white foiled lost so much detail we just couldn't go ahead with it like that.
Thanks!
EverythingBlu (17th March)

Rear artwork (hand) now detailed debossing with gloss varnish (17th March)

RE: P&P
Postage is the cheapest we can get without having business rates, it's a normal standard rate, removing tracking is pennies and is actually free for a single slip/lenti ordered.
Thanks,

Why have EB not posted here with updates?

a) Probably easier for them to put out a single message on Facebook - which they did at around 3PM today - than update over all the steelbook forums (HDN is not a special case and there are other steelbook forums out there . . . LOL). I don't use Facebook and saw the message posted by a contributor on another steelbook site.

b) Too busy organising all the packages . . . and the tracking numbers which most customers will have been given by the end of tomorrow.

c) Posting here is like opening a can of worms and they will be aware that when they post updates some of the more toxic members among us will jump on them and they'll feel compelled to waste time responding when they could best be finishing their main job which is to get the boxes out of the front door.

Lovely to see live pics but nothing can beat the close-up images from EBlu themselves-

I waited 3 days but did not receive any response to my emails.
Everything Blue is treating my money without any rights and I'm pretty annoyed about this behavior.
In the pre-order phase I received dozens of messages to convince me to buy but once the money is taken away they refuse to refound the canceled orders.

You are a shame!
 
Virkia, if you have nothing sensible to say then don't say it. I can just about tolerate your cut and paste spams of endless attachments and pictures which appear to have little or no relevance at all. Stop **** stirring please, thank you.

Do what I do, add them to your blocked member list. Works wonders :D
