You'd prefer the WWA steel with FAC treatment wouldn't you? :D ;) :p

indeed :bag::hilarious: ...but if I would have loved the steel art I would have dipped into this release as well :smuggrin: (I don't know what it is but I just am not feeling the choice of artwork)

Zootopia is better I think :thumbs:
 
@cooey - Is there any chance of changing my order from lenti to full slip (same price)? No worries if you've already given final numbers to Blufans peeps.
Cheers!

So how does the actual shipping work here are they direct shipped blufans or do they go to a hub first? Thanks for any info on this
 
Thanks hopefully soon they will be shipping then.

Our order was sent to Blufans yesterday, so if they process them quickly they could ship soon however it's Chinese New Year in a couple of days and they will be shutting down for a week or so, so it wouldn't surprise me if these don't start shipping until around the beginning of February

Ahh makes sense. As I joined this group buy since the payment date was later than Kevin's lol. Wonder if they will do wha they did with captain America and upgrade the one clicks to ems shipping. Took just a week for my ca to get here. Thanks for the info to cooey and the groupbuy

@ta0151

Just curious. Why have you changed to the fullslip?

@Patr0n - a number of reasons. I really liked the look of the shots in post #170, especially the art cards that show the actors with their characters. I think these add a new dimension to the package. Also, the embossing and finish on the full slip look great, and I prefer the green spine to the darker one on the lenti.

At first, the lenti struck me as more eye-catching but I started to think that the cover was redundant, since the same artwork appears on the front of the steelbook. To be honest, I've never been much of a lenti person anyway. There are a few I like but they tend to vary in quality and even the best ones lack sharpness and definition (at least, to this pair of eyes). All the ones I own look soft and out-of-focus, including those that have grail status. I get why other people love them, and I'm not a lenti hater by any means. I just think they're not my cup of tea. I prefer an image that is pin-sharp.
Having said all that, Blufans have done a bang-up job with both editions of this release and I was hesitant about changing my order. The lenticular slip does looks great, and I love the rear artwork on it. Initially I wasn't keen on the rear of the full slip, but on reflection I think the image of Mowgli and Raksha in the rain tells you more about the emotional heart of this movie.

At the end of the day, the thing I care about most is the steelbook itself. I thought the WWA was horrid, so I'm thrilled Blufans have manufactured this little beauty.

Hope that answers your question and thanks again @cooey for changing my order at the last minute!
