Weird that both Manta and Blufans are doing this movie at about the same time. Blufans steelbook artwork is being used for Manta's Double Lenticular I think so should be interesting. It would be helpful if Blufans showed the slip artwork soon so people can decide.

Weird indeed.... but maybe, just maybe, the studio only now released the rights for this movie... could be one reason?!?!

Could be but also seems like they should maybe find out what each other are releasing so don't overlap. Give each other six months to a year before putting out another version of the same movie.
And I try my best to not do more than one copy per movie. Have a couple doubles which eventually plan on selling one version of each to rectify that.

I mean not to flex but I'm a VIP so buying isn't a problem, just like to sort who I am buying what from early.

They do know what each other are releasing. They don't care. They know they are going to sell out their editions.

I think you're wrong on (at least) two accounts:
1. don't think peasants spent their time on movies and series websites
2. Blufans allow ANYONE and EVERYONE to buy from them; the problem getting limited/exclusive items is another different story, and does not apply just to Blufans

Blufans could be the only premium steelbook label out there that has the lowest print run for most of their releases. I think they understand that one of criteria for collectible item is the rarity. Therefore they don't want to produce too many steelbooks for the sole purpose of profit maximization. For example, with their loyal and mature client base such as my VIP group here, their releases are normally sold out quickly even during the pre-ordering stage. That leaves no chances and no copies left for Blufans to sell them in public. But it doesn't mean that you have no ways to obtain a copy. If you are determined enough, you can follow the thread closely here for any group buy updates or at other steelbook forums like MediaPsychos, HDN, etc. for that matter and you should have no issues to get the copy you really want. Please remember: New members are always welcomed by Blufans!

Thanks again for your interests, Good Luck!
