Yeah that's the one I saw. Try your luck drop them a message maybe especially if they had it up for around that price anyway. Doubt we're get another set as hdzeta have already done the set of dark Knight , blufans have done it , uhd club and next in line will be manta lab and that would be that I would imagine. 

My batman begins from blufans arrived today its a beauty worth the wait :).

Very well packaged cant see anyone getting theres damaged as this was double boxed and incased in foam on top of that.

Thanks to all involved here as usual behind the scenes making the group buy happen.

I really appreciate your thoughts on this matter.  STILL i cannot understand.   The way you make it sound (and im hoping it is not intended as such) is that everyone and everything else is to blame for these people not paying ... OK lets go with that thought for a little bit.

 

1. Even if it was months ago , if you (im saying "you" but not meaning actually "YOU" directly) , would have put something aside at that point and every paycheck up to the time it was requested , it would not matter how long ago the GB was , correct ?  You would still have that money put aside .

 

2. You say high price dramatically changing , yes i agree that could and proberbly is a BIG factor  , BUT again , if that IS the case then just knowing from everyday living costs going up that the costs for my hoppy proberbly went up as well .  Lets just take Fuel prices for instance.  If gas for your car is more expensive , dont you know gas for your furnace at home will be more expensive ?  So if you then had to use that money that was maybe stashed away for your hobby (here on MP) would you still not be responsible at least to let us know you cant pay it ?  Waiting until you get the invoice to say you cant pay it because you used that money up months ago is not actually nice . 

 

3.  If im living on a day by day budget (which is perfectly fine) why join at all then ?  In the hopes you will be able to afford it when the invoice comes ?  If not you just disappear for weeks/months / ever ??  I think it is YOUR responsiblity to be fair to yourself as well as to us .... dont purchase an OC , purchase a single edition if costs are going to be a factor .  

 

4.  You talk about compensation .... this i dont get at all.  Why should you be compensated for something you never purchased before it was in production or ready to ship.  Take BB Blufans for instance , on what ground do you base your "right" to get compensated ?  What about us being compensated then for the money we fork out way in advance sometimes (take FAC for example) due to YOUR request.  We dont purchase for us , we purchase for you , if you join , agree to the Terms , dont pay then why should we not be the ones compensated?  We lost money , what did you lose to want compensation ? 

 

Just my thoughts , not being offensive or aggressive although it might read that way depending on who / where you are ... looking for some serious feedback.

 

Take care

John

 

Thanks for the reply. Just like yourself I don't take it as offensive at all I like to here reasoning on these matters and it's good to hear once in a while.

I also understand that you get non payers for the pure fact of just being here for causing problems and trouble. My post was speaking up for the genuine people who do sometimes have the struggle of 3 4 invoices at once with the price rises from when they did put there name down in this current climate and that's why I raised my points.

Regarding the compensation. I was speaking as a whole so if and when you do pay in full in advance I do belive you should be compensated when a company then doesent deliver on there time frame and it constantly gets pushed back especially when sites like this keep them in business. As it then holds up all the members who have rightly paid there hundreds etc months in advance also so that was constructive.

I like the vet idea you have brought in also though and can be implemented into future releases as basil mentioned to soften future blows a set amount for one clicks and singles.

The trouble is Blufans aren’t responsible for peoples budgets that’s up to them … and their workload / output is their concern,   probably best to stop joining GBs if there’s going to be problems paying … shipping prices have been increasing for a while now so it’s not really an excuse anymore.. my opinion … others may think differently .. 

Why has my reply been hidden upon approval are we not now aloud a opinion ?

No but there responsible for there quality control and communication plans (which has been shocking) and getting there product out in a reasonable time frame which hasn't happend so they should be held accountable in some shape of form.

The shipping prices still can be a reason for some people. I mentioned some of these group buys people put there name down before the huge price hikes in the shipping sector. I get now they can't use it for group buys now as everyone knows the rough cost of shipping.

Also with the upcoming hdzeta lotr I assume alot of people did save for that but it was then announced it was to be not happening. I guess some people would of then spent them savings on the assumption they had thought it was a nogoer but then magically reinstated by hdzeta.

I stand by that I can see this site losing numbers with the current prices of steelbooks and what the cost of living is due to go to in the coming months. So yes as you say people will have to stop joining gbs as heating there homes and feeding there children will be much more of concern than a premium boxset.

put some comments there john meant genuinely and nicely and helpful too 

 

basil 👍

I also think what makes it hard to put aside is that some of these pre orders were from over a year ago or many months ago etc and the price has dramatically changed from what it used to be to collect so they prob took into account what prices used to be but we know prices have raised now dramatically. Would some of these people on the lists of put there name down if they had known about huge price hikes in shipping costs etc especially now with the cost of living going through the roof. I can see alot of people having to be forced to stop collecting.

The idea of vet's in the future maybe on releases sounds like a plan.

Also I think some companies with there delays like blufans recently should be held accountable and compensation added to future releases like credit or something along them lines.

This set looks quality. I would love this in my collection do you think this will come to other countries or would have to order from Australia. Also do they charge on dispatch or take money right away do we know ?

well agree blufans could but is what it is now, i think kev said both where going to be close together but thats about all i heard around.

i dont think they do in one hit but i bet 2-4 weeks apart more like 4 and then month later be ready with TDK.

but to be fair to blufans its there printer that screwed up they sent a sample and the colours are way off to the sample. with what turned up.

blufans seem to have done all they can really.

not ideal i know but best of a bad situation, on this occasion i forgive blufans its not normal from them.

we still getting something so not the end of the world 👍

plus there covid issues out there way worse than ours effected everything out there 👍

 

basil 

I just hope after all this the one clicks are worth the wait

Also hope they release some communication as to what the exact plan is for dispatch times and what is getting shipped first and how etc.

Could even be worth there while to ship them all to hubs at this rate to lower the risk of damage loss custom charges etc.

Adds to the fact I reckon manta lab has become number 1 with how many they get out these days and the quality of there work no wonder they are becoming so popular. There communication is also great even with there announcement with the delay of the batman one clicks you know were u stand with them.

you have been reading the threads havent you  

 

basically its blufans themselves, think i read somewhere issue with what was printed as to sample provided think being remade, anyway they are pushing on with other 2 very fast already to go by time there done and out then TDK read somewhere.

think thats whats gone down in a nut shell

 

basil 👍

Yeah I knew it was a blufans issue. I haven't blamed this site that was my argument how they have now cracked on with the other 2. I just think instead of cracking on with the other 2 and using resources they should have rectified the issue with the dark knight one click whatever the issue was and got that done and dusted.

There is now also questions as to are they going to ship these one clicks all together if they have basically gone ahead with the other 2 already or there is more risk of lost packages sending 3 out all close together or even more risk custom charges.

Defo blufans could have handled it much better.

i see batman begins blufans is now under urgent way for payment👍

 

Any update to what is going on with the dark knight one clicks which were payed for ages ago. How have they not dispatched them yet but they are now dispatching batman begins and wanting payment etc seems like a right mess surely they should have got the dark knight out the way first

The human mother box looks pretty disappointing to me. The beauty shots below showed it as having a textured bronze appearance, but the new live shots have a more low rent yellow plastic look?

I agree with you. I'm glad I passed on these motherboxes they look pretty cheap to me. I can imagine there going to cost a fair bit with the weight of shipping also 

Lol I still remember when they put the original batman's up and still to this day they haven't been released , surely this company should catch up with there so called releases before they announce new titles 

ZAVVI 

Actually not going to be that badly priced either as its showing it will be 75 pound on zavvi , another one for the collection upcoming 

My birthday today 34 getting old and this came through the post this morning so a good start to the day

As always thanks to all the members here involved for giving me the chance to own :).

Never forgetting @blu.steel33 as always great service getting it to me and I'm loving the new membership card which came with it and the wooden one :).

There are some recent pickups in there somewhere, lol. Finally got a chunk of the collection put on display at the new home, but will need to add some shelving to get it all. I need a break, haha.

That's an amazing collection you've got there man congrats got to be worth a small fortune to 

Got the 3 collectors editions from amazon today of the dark knight. 2 of them came damaged with the j card peeling and cellophane completely ripped. All going back for a full refund , part of me is glad. I woudent recommend these , they feel very cheap in hand and the 2 steelbooks I could see had scratches all over and not very well printed lucky escape for me

Not any new steels for me but recently just picked up the offical adidas shoes and the 2 funko's to add to my fight club collection

I would like the manta 25 award please once you've got time thanks  @extantsrevenge

No I’m not talking about insulting anyone in the streets, a comedy club type setting is not the streets and you know what you are getting when you go in… it’s all in FUN not to be taken seriously at all! 

I agree with @Veum Will smith has lost the plot he began by laughing at Chris rocks joke originally then saw his wife's reaction. He also can't take a joke yet he's ok with other blokes sleeping with his wife makes sense. 

He should have been chucked out when it happend yet he was allowed to stay and then applauded when won a Oscar no wonder Chris rock didn't press charges.

Not a steelbook set but got the godfather collectors 4k set delivered today. Great set so well packaged and it all feels premium to me the art cards , the booklet inside , the discs would defo recommend

Thought I would add only a few pictures of what's inside or it would take the whole thread up lol

Hello hello everyone

Zavvi have a decent mix of steelbooks with 30 percent off at the minute worth a look 

https://www.zavvi.com/offers/steelbooks/sale.list

Never thanked media psychos when I recieved these 2 one clicks from the group buys. So my usual thank you to all staff members involved in getting me these editions I appreciate it

Also the zavvi steelbook pin turned up today in a huge box filled with bubble wrap for a pin. I think they went over the top with packaging lol 

The pin itself is very nicely made though, I would recommend it.
