So after going through the boxes that did come in , i do not have any Action Figures to send with the Editions.  We have MUGS but im guessing the Action Figures are in some of the boxes not yet arrived.

Instead of waiting for them those will be sent out seperately ASAP.  

Also as a note , not many Maniac Boxsets were in those boxes that arrived so very few members are able to be serviced right now.

For those that have Collectible numbers yours has not yet arrived except for @The Major and @Artist Eugene did come in. 

Ill try to keep you guys updated as soon as more arrive.

Take car

John

It has been along wait I ordered my directly from Filmarena and still hasn’t been shipped. Do you know what’s going on with Filmarena I know things aren’t good at moment but nothing from Filmarena with update etc from them regarding shipping I have emailed them a few times asking but no reply back... could or are you able to shed some light on this?

Hi,

unfourtantly we do not track any direct shipments to members from this Retailer.  

Im not sure what is going on and i cant give any advice other then to try once again to contact them and ask them what is up. 

They are as you know a reputable Retailer so nothing fishy , its just with the Virus its difficult to say what is actually being effected in the bigger scheme of things.

Take care

John

So the Maniac Boxes have started to arrive and can be shipped out ASAP !!

This was a long wait for sure !!

Take care

John

schaut mal auf Frazzenbook

Oliver Pocher hat dort gepostet,

Er sagt es auch sofort Ausgangssperre,

bei uns genauso,die Kids spielen auf der Strasse als wenns nichts wär,und die Eltern und Nachbarn stehen dabei,kopfschüttel

Ich glaube hierfuer der Grund ist weil das "boese" ist nicht sichtbar.  

If it was a real live war they definitly would not be playing on the playground or even outside for that matter. 

Wow😱😱.  I'm sure many more closing / postponings will happen.🙄

@deckard99 back in December I put a request in for the single UHD Club matrix 1. If I signed up for this GB for all three could my original order (made in December) be cancelled.?I know you guys don't normally do that.

I've sent a PM. 

Take care

Maybe too late but... to dream is free for all big and little collectors. Some might be possible, others totally impossible, some profitable, and others not. Seeing these things from outside, just as a fan, always seems much easier than it really is.

 

Films with an interesting sales potential for a collector's edition:

• Memento. All Nolan's has great sales, and for this film there is only the old Kimchidvd edition.
• The usual suspects. I can't understand why no one tried to do a great edition with this fabulous film...
• Magnolia. By Paul Thomas Anderson, a popular modern classic.
• Zodiac / The Curious Case of Benjamin Button / Panic Room. David Fincher's classics. 
• The favourite. An awarded 2018 Yorgos Lanthimos film.
• Miss Sloane. All the special editions that have come out in Korea have been sold immediately. And it can be done better.
• Robin Hood. This Ridley Scott film has some collector editions but no one in the current "collector editions" usual way. As American Gangster. 
• The silence of the lambs / Hannibal / The Red Dragon / Hannibal Rising. Hannibal Lecter's character has a whole legion of fans and not a collector's edition.
• The Darjeeling Limited. One of the few Wes Anderson films without any collector edition, only an old french digibook. 
• Last action hero. A sold Zavvi steelbook and no one collector edition.
• Lost in translation. No one collectors edition for this famous Sofia Coppola film.
• The Straight Story / Blue Velvet / Lost Highway / Inland Empire. Really, all Lynch films uses to have a lot of fans and good sales. We'll see how works "Wild at heart".
• Nocturnal Animals. A known successful designer Tom Ford film.
• Unbreakable. The only one of this Shyamalan's trilogy without a collectors edition.
• Dead Poets Society. Who never watched this film?
• Godfellas / Racing Bull. It's Scorsese, my friends.
• Mamma mia. A real blockbuster.
• Basic Instinct. It is required to include the icebreaker
• Flash Gordon. A film with a lot of fans and only two steelbooks without any more.
• Pirates of the Caribbean. Obviously, a good bussiness opportunity, and may be an impossible desire. 
• The Godfather Trilogy. Always waiting the definitive edition........
• The Blues Brothers. A classic with a lot of fans always waiting too.
• The doors / Natural Born Killers, by Oliver Stone. 
• When Harry met Sally. I've never founded a collectors edition.

Renowned classic movies that would add status to the retailer and bring popularity:

• Paths of Glory (Kubrick) Really... all Kubrick. The most of them without a collectors edition.
• Death in Venice (Visconti)
• La dolce vita (Fellini)
• Blow Up (Antonioni)
• Some like hot (Wilder)
• The grapes of warth (Ford)
• Metropolis (Lang)
• Gandhi  (Attenborough)
• The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Huston)
• The Party (Blake Edwards)

Asian films that do not yet have a collector's edition in blu-ray or 4K, or that is not available:

• In the Mood for love (Kar Wai)
• 2046 (Kar Wai)
• Chunking  Express (Kar Wai)
• The Grandmaster  (Kar Wai)
• House of flying daggers (Yimou)
• Hero (Yimou)
• The Assassin (Hsiao Hsien)
• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Lee)
• Mua he chieu thang dung (A la verticale de l’été)  (Tran Anh Hung)

Other films by well-known and / or awarded directors who have never had a collector's edition, and that I would very subjectively love to buy one day:

• Breaking the waves (Von Trier) (Multi award-winning contemporary classic that has never known a collector's edition in any format)
• Fitzcarraldo (Werner Herzog) 
• Cat People (Paul Schrader)
• Cold War (Pawel Pawlikowski) I think it will be one special edicion in Korea but...
• The Producers (Mel Brooks)
• Last tango in Paris (Bertolucci)
• The tree of life (Terrence Malick)
• Funny games (Haneke, original version)
• The fisher King (Terry Gilliam)
• Solaris (Soderberg)

And others i like:

• Maggie. With Arnold Schwarzenegger. 
• Girl with a Pearl Earring. Few films will give so much play and opportunities at a visual level for the design of a beautiful edition.
• The Science of Sleep. A great Michel Gondry film.
• One from the heart. Francis Ford Coppola.
• Broken flowers. Jim Jarmusch.
• Tropic Thunder. Ben Stiller.
• Brubaker. Stuart Rosenberg.
• 2010 The year we make contact. Peter Hyams.
• Being John Malkovich. Spike Jonze.
• The Sheltering Sky. Bernardo Bertolucci.
• The swimmer. I love this rare and impressive film with Burt Lancaster.
• Hair / One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / Man on the moon. Three famous classic films by Milos Forman.
• The Devil's advocate. 

And other great films people had put in this thread lime American History X, Denis Villeneuve - Enemy, Das Boot, Coherence, and many others...

 

And last, TV-shows. A big a large market segment that often does not know what a collector's edition is:

• Hannibal
• Chernobyl
• Sharp Objects
• The leftovers

Some will be more interesting, some will not, some will be more viable, some will not, but ideas and suggestions will not be missing.

what you think @Tristan_Wang some great titles to choose from ... 😃

@Masterblaster

Is there a vertical limit set for the signature space? Some signatures have various other images below my sig. It appears you can upload as much as you want in there. 👀

no not at the moment as i have given it no thought , i was hoping this was not going to get carried away , but if need be we will set a limit.  What are the dimensions now ?

@goose_3387 yeah please no gifs ... thanks for keeping it clean.

@Basil @goose_3387 i would also like to keep the signature banners at one size conform with all others.

Thanks for your understanding.

John

@Basil @goose_3387 and please do not change our tiered Membership banners/sigs. thanks

@Ripper

Done.  I could not do a refund through PayPal because they were very old.

So I did a store credit and you can request an auszahlung.

OK, had read that already but sure doesn’t hurt to read/hear it first hand and so personally addressed, so thanks a lot!

BUT WHAT IF for example, the retailer will actually release an WWA instead of the WEA?

Could then “one” choose to not continue with the respective GB?

Hi Felix,

good to see you here on the Forum.

IF yo have not already done so , the first thing would be to read our GB Rules , it gives you a better understanding of how things work and what is expected of you as well as alot of other important interesting information. 

To answer your question , if a Retailer decides to change something , its normally done before the Beauty Shots are available so in that case if yo have not joined the GB until after that time then you are on the safe side .  IF you join immediately and it changes then upon circumstances if you do not update yoru request in the UPDATE phase then it could be taken as a non compliant to the Rules.  If you join before beauty shots and the Retailer changes the format for any reason and you let us know immediately then it would be possible to allow a drop out. 

Take care

Dirty Harry 

Once Upon A Time In The West (only a 2001: ASO type of edition can do it justice)

@Tristan_Wang

For your kind consideration 😊
 

I know this has been posted for months , BUT i too would like to see these added to the WCL collection if possible.  I also agree that Once upon a time in the West can only be justified as a release like 2001 was !

Thanks my friend !

@icewire ich bin auch etwas verwundert. Habe mit der ersten Rechnung 14 Dollar Shipping Costs bezahlt und jetzt soll ich nochmal 16 Dollar bezahlen. 30 Dollar Versand und Zoll kommen mir bei einer 39 Dollar Edition etwas viel vor....

auch hier bitte um entschuldigung , sollte jetzt gefixt sein.

Hmm 🤔 ich hab grad ne 2. Rechnung für Mission bekommen? Da stimmt doch etwas nicht oder? Sonst hab ich ja 225$ für nen Film bezahlt der nur 130$ kostet? Wäre super wenn sich da nochmal wer meldet.

yep so sorry das das passiert ist.  Es war mein Schuld da wir nicht richtig kommuniziert habe fuer diesen Release.

Wir sind am umstellen der sachen das wegen bitte ueberpruefe erst dann zahlen .. das macht es desso leichter alles vorher zu koorigerien .. Es sollte aber sehr bald wieder reibungslos laufen, es dauert bis alle sich an aenderungen angepasst habe..

Die wurden soweit korrigiert .. hoffe ihr koennt mich entschueldigen ...

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but did not see it asked in this thread. Is there a protective slipcover large enough for the magnetic hardbox?

The only large size I see in the MP store says specifically for Blufans boxes.

@The_JBot from what i have been told that is the only one that will fit it.  I believe @xSNAKExPLISSKENx had stated that .

im starting packing now so good time... LOL

One question, is the "Retailer shipping cost" x3 charge correct? I was under the impression they shipped together in the hardbox.

It's never a win win situation no matter how it's done.  

When it's just 1x shipping for an OC the question arises why so much ? What's the breakdown ? 

When it's broken down the question becomes why 3x or 4x when it's in the hartbox. 

Some want it broken down others dont .  

Very frustrating having to take the time and effort to explain everytime.

It's also like that for the GB fee,  An OC has either 2, 3rd or even now 4 editions , so that is what the GB fee is based on.  

Anyway thanks for being apart of MP

Have a wonderful day !
