I can't wait to get mine in the mail....it certainly looks amazing and from what i hear it looks even better in person. Congrats and enjoy!

Took some photos!

Now that people are receiving their copies, it is very clear that the lenti is not photogenic. You've got to see it in person to appreciate the work of art. Blufans does the best lenti. IMO, they don't have a competitor when it comes to lentis.

I don't think the lenti is all that in hand imo. The faces distorts in the middle but not in a good way. Just looks wrong really. Bit like the blufans winter soldier one

Novamedia have crushed Blufans with their Avengers Lenti

I agree.

Oh please, can never happen. Thor Lenti is not even the best Blufans lenti. I'm yet to see a Nova lenti that's in legendary status. Not even that CA2 that people gush over. But I'll reserve my judgment for in-hand experience. I'll have the Nova Avengers lenti next week and will compare. I'll definitely admit if it's more outstanding.

I have this and eventhough it is nice I still think my best marvel lenti steelbook is NovaMedia's Captain America Winter Soldier

I received mine the other day. My only complaint is that there is a big lump on the top back, in the center, presumably from the glue that holds the card on.

I don't know why they went with a red picture for the lenticular. It doesn't really go with the movie all, but it looks really nice.

Blu-fans do make some nice lenticulars, for me Novamedia make the best though. They are consistently good, all the ones I have seen have been excellent. Occasionally Blu-fans have made a few average ones like Iron Man.

At this point, its hard to believe your judgment will be unbiased. Your love for BF is unhealthy lol. Blufans Lentis are top notch but I dont see any difference in quality vs Novas Cap2 and Gotg slip B. However I do thing IM BF lenti is underated as its a transitional/flip effect as well as great depth, unlike Kimchi's. But at the same time I think this Thor lenti is overrated. All steels I mention I have in hand and overall I think Nova = Blufans when it comes to Lentis.

@wolf254 No glue in this release. Mine has similar but small dent on the slipcase (on data sheet too).. It's on the back, middle of the top? Where mine is anyway. Still waiting to hear back from Kevin on replacement steelbook. Not gonna bother with the dent on the slipcase.

 

[charleybusko]

Not true @nkb32 I'll definitely state when I am not impressed. IM lenti is nice in my opinion, but could have been better. For me, the best Blufans lenti is MU. As with yourself, I own most of the titles I talk about and there's no Nova lenti that has really impressed me the way Blufans MU, Transformers 4, and CA1 have, but maybe in-hand Avengers may be a different experience and change my perspective. I really liked Nova JW lenti. Infact no Nova lenti is currently in my top 5 lenti. I think we all have what we like. Though I praise Blufans alot, I still like Nova and was raving about getting my 1-click option (which was partially fulfilled ). I think the Thor lenti is wonderful, but my hunch is Thor 2 will be better (time will tell though). BF CA2 beats Nova CA2 by a very narrow margin . THanks for chiming in.

lol why the censor blotch right in the middle of the steelbook in that first Thor pic? methinks someone was toying around with photo editor a lil too much.

anyway this Thor is spectacular. so glad Blufans made this.

I've noticed that on the ones I've been handling for the GB is that half of them have the glue on the datasheet and then the other half don't, but have bee sealed in a different type of plastic that makes it look like there's marks on the Steelbook (there isn't, it's just on the wrapping)

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

Looks beautiful! Cant wait for this one!

 

[jono3000]

Got mine today, thanks @cooey
The steelbook itself is spectacular

 

[Phantasmic]

Received my Lenti today and it looks amazing! Pictures do it no justice as it needs to be in hand to be fully appreciated.

still waiting for mine, seeing all these pics is making the wait seem forever
