@Scott @pdbluray @domalorite oki does anyone has any info confirmed by Blufans in terms of release/shipping date ? if Print run is confirmed and pictures to come there might be info available so reaching out to the blufans expert to know

 

[charleybusko]

No info on shipping... it's wait and see. Remember, shipping estimates with Blufans are to be taken with a grain of salt.

Kevin did mention that this and iron man should be shipped in December, but will most likely not reach is til 2015, but as charley said that can be taken with a pinch of salt

Seems that Scanavo has screwed up Thor also. Kevin hasn't posted anything specific other than they messed up.

Another steel delay coming.

Well, all he stated was that Scanavo Hong Kong should do their job right, he didn't specify this on Thor yet.
But, i guess this concerns Thor indeed.. what a shame..

That suits me right now, or should I say, that suits my wallet! So many Asian steels at the mo!

 

[Hatori]

Lately, you need strong nerves when you collect asian steels.

They printed "a Ridley Scott film" below the Thor title...

Gah, another delay due to production problems. At least for this one we haven't all committed money to it. But first all the problems with the Up box set, then some of the production issues with Frozen, then Iron Man, then Wall-E, now this?!? How many more can Blufans take before freaking out at Scanavo?!?!

LMBO!!! way to go Scanavo HK

Blufans announced the problem on their forum. Basically the border width is too wide.

Compared with Face Off.

Whow, the border is pretty huge indeed..
So it was a human-caused mistake this time, yay..

 

[domalorite]

And Scanavo are saying there is no problem.

 

[domalorite]

I can also see Thor is not centered either!

 

[phate11]

Hmm. Not sure if the border being wide is a make or break type problem. For some people maybe, but not for me. Sure, it's wide, but if nobody said anything and it got sent to ME like that, I'd never notice.

Now, the centering of the title being off... now you've just gone and made me FURIOUS. Haha.

 

[teddyjun]

The border is terrible. They must change the steelbook.

 

[Staind]

Looks weird, with the huge border

 

[Futurhythm]

From the ranting and raving Kevin was doing I thought it was going to be a massive problem. Yes, the thicker border doesn't look as good, but the level of anger and the accusations leveled at it are overboard in my opinion. Case in point:

For me, the real problem is that the Steelbook looks like it has a very cheap matte finish. I'm not one of those gloss fiends, and there are such things as high quality matte finishes. From the photos though, this Steelbook does NOT have a high quality matte finish. Add to that the artwork is pretty much the same as what has already been released, disappointment was only to be expected.
