I totally sympathize with your exasperation. In general, if a title is known to be really popular (or will be) then MP will start the GB so that they can get an idea of numbers they will need. I believe this also helps inform the manufacturers (Blufans, HDZeta etc) decisions on print runs. When MP finds out the actual details such as one clicks and # of editions then members can go in and modify their initial reservation to indicate their actual "order"

I totally agree! It was a very relaxing round this time since I already had my Platinum. I just had to renew it. Welcome aboard:). -

Master blaster will send an announcement then open the store. -

They haven't announced it. The memberships don't expire until end of April and they are still surveying the Platinum members to see how many openings could be available. Then, I suspect we have to put our money where our mouths are and pay for then. Lol. Once the Platinum members are resolved then Gold will open and the cycle repeats. Of course, I could be wrong... -

From what I've heard so far, very few Platinum members are not renewing them which means that there won't be many openings. Unless MP increases platinum numbers but that creates issues. Gold may be the main game in town! -

"nightmare" is a relative term here! Most of the time the premiums aren't that much more expensive then a regular steelbook. If you keep shipping out of the equation since that does distort it. A nightmare would be paying for the Gold LOTR/Hobbit oneclicks from HDzeta. -

It's only a bloodbath if platinum opportunities show up. Unless you are talking ... assassination options to create opening. LOL. -

I started with no membership then I was able to get a Gold when I realized what they were. When platinum came up I decided to get one to show my support for MP. I haven't had occasion to need it yet. I'm renewing mine anyway since I figure there will be an explosion of releases with COVID slowly winding down. Then tiers will be quite useful:). -
I would assume for 2 reasons: 1. Over-saturation of the market 2. Difficulty in getting rights to publish Marvel materials in a unique way.
