We made it

[notdan]

Well, I am happy for everyone that got the design they wanted while also very disappointed that we lost out on something unique.

 

I also think it was a big deal for UHD to be willing to come back and crowd source a design, but I think it is a dangerous precedent to set. I understand why they did it in this case, but I think companies, artists, creators, etc should be able to create the products they want to create. If what they create resonates with people, then they build a reputation; which is exactly what UHD Club has done over the years. They have provided many wonderful editions and I think they should be encouraged to create based on their ideas because they have earned that trust from collectors.

 

The loudest voices in society (especially on the internet) are usually the negative, angry, or disappointed ones. But I doubt any of us, as collectors, want these companies to be guided in their creations by disappointment in something that hasn't even been created yet! If they are then they will never take chances on creating something new and we will all just have shelves full of fancy versions of blu-ray jackets and movie posters. I want them to surprise me and take chances but I understand that I am in the minority. I personally think UHD Club would have created something very cool even if the mock-ups didn't do it justice.

 

I also think if something like this happens more in the future, we should really consider showing beauty shots before starting a group buy. I understand why people would be upset if they are locked into something they don't want, and being able to see what they are getting before signing up would allow the company to make what they want and people to make the decision of if they want it. I don't pretend to know all the things that may make that difficult to do though.

 

Anyway, nothing here is meant to insult anyone that voted for this design. Just expressing my opinion; I really am happy that the majority of members got what they wanted in the end. Cheers everyone!

I agree with your sentiments for the most part.  I think there is a place for lines they have more involvement from the collectors themselves as well as those were a singular focus and ability to take some chances can thrive.  
 

I should point out, however, that we usually only launch GBs when we have beauty shots.  These UHD Clubs were the exception, not the rule.   

[BreakBeatDJ]

The worst part about this result is simply that @tr0llhatt ended up being right.  NO!!!!  NO!!!!  NO!!!!!

I had a bunch of gifs lined up to take him down to chinatown with the original design . . . but oh, well, the gods intervened and his behalf.

I agree with most of what you said here. I, too, am a little disappointed the original design choice didn't win the day, but still happy I will own a premium edition set of this fantastic trilogy.

Well said. UC could have done something quite special with their original design but I can understand why in this instance they were willing to 'cave in' to public pressure.

Unlike other popular releases (like Jaws, which greatly divided opinions among members on this forum), this beloved trilogy represents a great deal of financial commitment from members, so I think it was important for UC to ensure that the majority of those who took the plunge would get a product they'd be satisified with.

As much as I appreciate UC and the admins' willingness to placate members, I hope we don't have to get to poll stage again when Godfather beauty shots are released.

I understand your point, but what if UHD Club decided to use the same MS-DOS style art that they did with LOTR? Would you still not want it to get to the poll stage?

We'll cross that bridge when we get there, although I'm sure it will never get to that.

Hi @Basil

UHD packaging is pretty good , the item is in side a fabric type bag , then thats in a sturdy top opening hard box then thats  usually inside a foam lined heavy duty box … then that’s inside hub packaging .. so yeH pretty well protected..

As far as I know the planned release date hasn’t changed.   Payment will likely be sometime closer to the release, but might be sooner.  
 

yeah, I know this is vague.  Sorry!

I also do not yet own any UHD wooden box in my collection, and also wondered about the quality of packaging this beauties, thank you for this information, now I can feel more confident that they will arrive whole and healthy 👍

 

I have also other question, is there any information on what type of wooden box it will be for LOTR trilogy same as for Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption or like Unforgiven? Anyone already know what height these two types of wooden boxes have? Because guessing from the pictures they are slightly different in size. I just ask to know on which shelf or display case I will be able to fit them without any problem 

 

I am really looking forward to these beauty releases, although my wallet has a different opinion

It will be the same as Shawshank and Green Mile.

Oh lord, it looks so, so good! And I've already spent several fortunes of these movies!

 

Couldn't y'all just take my first-born son and we call it a deal?
