Still confused on how this company numbers their releases.

The Place Beyond the Pines was the first movie they released, but not numbered.
#001 is In The House/Young & Beautiful combo set?
La maison de Himiko is like PBTP and not numbered.
#002 is Inside Llyewn Davis.
Attila Marcel was limited in quantity, but not a numbered release.
#003 is Mr. Nobody.

It seems so random/hit or miss. Are all their keep case editions from here on out going to be numbered? Or will it keep going back and forth? Anyone have any insider info?
 
I only have their first release, The Place Beyond the Pines :notworthy: and the 2 Raid exclusives on order. But from what I have seen the quality of their releases are beautiful...:drool:

I have no idea why. I've asked about it multiple times in this thread but nobody seems to know. The Kimchi steelbooks are kimchi exclusives, and are only designed by Blu. They aren't part of the Blu Collection. Instead of having a numbered spine like Plain or Nova...Blu Collection includes number cards inside.

Inside Llewyn Davis is Number 002 in the collection.

Mr. Nobody's card says Number 004.

Even though the press release for it says it was number 03.

The Blu Collection seems very inconsistent with their number and how they operate. Which is fine, but it's like Hell on my OCD.
 
Ah I see. Thx :thumbs:

But the KimchiDVD exclusive editions have those Blu Collection cards, too.

I just noticed that while looking at the Raid info. They seem to have a kimchi numbering card AND a blu collection card. I don't own any of the blu collection/kimchi steelbooks, so I don't know exactly what is on that card. If you guys have Memento or Eternal Sunshine...can you post a photo of the Blu Collection card it came with?
 
Look at this picture posted by LucasEatWorld

Eternal Sunshine is "The Blu Collection Steelbook No. 002" :)

The Blu Collection Steelbook No. XXX vs. The Blu Collection Limited Edition No. XXX

i just got my "mr.nobody" an hour ago, and decided to make some quick pics of my BLU collection, that maybe clear some questions, at least regarding numbering on the bottom, and how the spines look together... i don't have any copies opened yet, so i do not know about inside numbered cards or whatever. what i DO know though, is that i definitely need a copy of "inisde llewyn davis" ! :)

@jacobsever @AnubisNefer @earthscope @eLviS1987

regarding quality and design, this might indeed be the studio being named 2nd right after plain archive. especially "attila marcel" is absolutely beautiful.
