Very true. I guess they are flooded with requests from the small people.
When you have a company that has a name, such as Zavvi, it would be a lot easier. Still I am curious how a blufans or everythingblu is pulling it off.
Is everythingblu already a million dollar company? Or just a few guys starting a new company?

If the money (and a company) would not be an issue, what would be the steps?

A while ago I e-mailed Paramount Pictures about getting a license for artwork related to their movie and so far I got no response. It's no problem finding an e-mail address for requesting information about getting a license, but like I said, no response. Very frustrating.

I have someone who is excellent with photoshop, so not an issue either.
If 4000 steelbooks is the mininum order and the price would be around $6 (according info from the other thread), ok, it's around $25,000 to start with. If it's a great steelbook I think you will sell them all.

Does any one has some more info how, for example, blufans of everythingblu is doing this?

-Minmum print run is 2,000
-you could get lower print run if it's off an already existing WWA print run
-don't expect studios/vendors to take you serious unless you plan on having some type of Webstore and social media.



Blufans has business/personal ties to people who work for Disney china

Not sure how EverythingBlu is getting it done, Ben James must have connections. Contact him and see what he says. Like the saying goes, it's not about what you know, it's WHO you know.

Yes, I agree. Had the same experience with some of my apps I wrote.
