Fixed that for you. It's cool and all that you don't care what companies do with your money when you pay them for a product, but others do and they are not in the wrong for it either.
I also find it funny that people like
@virkia are accusing people of vitriol and bile when actually the vast majority have been patient, frustrated yes but patient enough not to demand a full refund.
If there is one lesson to be learned here then it's not the attitude of the community, it is that small businesses should not bite off more than they can chew. It will only hurt them in the long run.
I do hope EB are not using funds from the mummy to prop up this release, or you might have probs with the mummy release too.
The vast majority may have been patient but the noisy minority have cancelled that out with their scurrilous accusations and mean-spirited comments aimed at a company just starting out on the road with their first major release.
Yes, their FIRST major release and NOT to be compared with "Killer Klowns" with its 300 slipcase run.
"Shaun of the Dead" is a full print run of 4,000 (as far as I know) so no comparison has merit
and just imagine how time consuming it is for one or even four people packing, organising for dispatch, notifying purchasers, arranging collection by the courier and all the other stuff that's involved with a release of 2,000 plus units !.
Of course it's all too easy to forget the work involved in a release of this size and just so easy to hurl accusations
The worst anyone can throw at EBlu is the length of time it's taking to get all the packages out to customers.
This . . .
. . . doesn't mean they deserve to be tarred and feathered for the unforeseen delays.
Doesn't mean they've committed a crime and the idea that they've started this business just to rip off those that bought the SotD boxes (like some on here have postulated
) is so laughably ridiculous that I have no words to describe my distaste.
Doesn't mean they've squirreled the money away in some Swiss or Liechtenstein Bank and retired to the Costa del Crime or for the more successful crim the Cote d"Azur
Doesn't mean they should've stuck to their day jobs and given up on their dreams just because they didn't start out with oodles of dosh provided by a wealthy relative or even a dragon investor.
EBlu is here for the long haul, so get used to it folks . . . and again if anyone thinks they went to all this trouble to fold after just one major release and throw in the towel before decent dosh starts rolling in then all I can say is
.
As for starting out in business it's COMMON PRACTICE for cash made on sales to go into the infrastructure . . . especially on the first couple of releases . . . and when they have some real money in the bank like now for THE MUMMY everything should run as smooth as silk.
Thank you
