Fox Wave of FuturePaks (Target Exclusive) (Alien, Prometheus, Wolverine, RotPotA)

[stlcards]

I don't own The Wolverine so I may get this version for $8 next week. They only have 2 as of today at my Target and one is dented so we'll see when Sunday gets here.

Are you holding out for possible more shipments to arrive, or just the weekly sale to start? I would definitely buy it today (at the higher cost), and then next week take your receipt in and have them price match the sale. That's what I told my friend on Sunday (Oct. 5th) to do seeing as our Target only had a couple copies left as well then, and then simply go in on the 12th when the new ad comes out and get reimbursed.

Target allows this for items if you buy it one week and next week it goes on sale or up to seven days.

I was just going to wait for the sale.

That is a big risk because there will be others who buy first and adjust later.

I will find out today if waiting was a bad idea.

When I picked up Edge of Tomorrow at Target last week they still had the original three x-men movies along with the wolverine. Hopefully they're still there when I pick up DOFP tomorrow so I can pick up x3.

I feel bad for anyone that bought RotPotA Target metalpak on eBay for $50+ when it sold out and became hard to find.

Yeah, same here. That's why I thought I'd update this thread for those that may have missed seeing that Best Buy has some of these now, and still want to get these...

Well, still, just an FYI for those who may be unaware. As these metalpak titles originally pertained to this thread.

[OrlandoEastwood]

There still some X-Men: First Class metalpaks at the Target I work at.

They're very nice looking, but Fox being Fox, they made the decision to make them 1-disc versions.

Ironically many of these FuturePak releases are already set up to accept an additional swing disc hub.
I would like to take the discs from my old regular release and house them in the FuturePak case.

Do you sell (or distribute to any retailer) these swing disc hubs to the public?

I know I am not alone in wanting these, multiple people have been asking about them on message boards and forums such as blu-ray.com.

Thanks,

Ah, 2014. Or as I like to say, the good old days.

Sorry to dredge up the old thread, but was anyone actually successful in tracking down the swing disc hubs for your FuturePaks?

I was promised some (along with others on this thread) from the president of Novobox himself, but in the end...crickets (and loose discs).

I was sorting movies and realized that I had forgotten about this issue.
I figured that maybe over the past six years maybe personnel had changed and I might try again and come with something.

I forwarded all of my past correspondence to info@novoboxworld.com along with a new message:

Taking a shot at this again.
As you can see below, I contacted Novobox way back in 2014.
Even though disc hubs were supposedly being sent to me, I never received anything, or a response back.

So, I'm still looking for these and hoping someone at the company can help.
I would be glad to purchase them as well, as I never expected them to be sent free of charge.

Thanks,

I received a response, from the same person I did back in 2014:

Pls kindly send 72 usd by PayPal on xxxxx@gmail.com including DHL coats so we can ship

Meilleures salutations / Kind regards.



My reply:

Am I reading that correctly?
I'm looking for 7 swing disc hubs.
(1-Disc flipper x 5, and 2-Disc flipper x 2)
Are the really over $10 each shipped?

No offense, but that seems a bit much.
Are these coming from France, thus high shipping costs?
Would it benefit me to contact the California, USA address?

Thanks,

His response:

Yes correct
Coming fr China



$72 is just insane to me, shipped or otherwise.
Did anyone have any luck with the California office? Someone mentioned they might actually be picking some up there way back then.
