  1. Bit late to the party with this one but just requested a DL I really enjoyed the first but haven't seen this one yet & the DL looks too good to pass up Neil
  2. Gah been away from these for a while as I've struggled with the last few challenges but getting in on Week 34 now which took a bit of effort as I wanted to be out of the ordinary with my selections so went for these First up Riki-Oh Set in 2001 but released in 1991 Then we go to Iron Sky Set in 2018 but released in 2012 Finally the finest cartoon ever made Transformers the Movie Set in 2005 but released in 1986 So there we are, it's nice to be involved again Neil
  3. New arrival for me today House of 1000 Corpses 20th Anniversary Edition Huge fan of this movie & the whole Firefly Trilogy in fact Really looking forward to seeing it again as it's been ages since I saw it last (just need to kick the wife & child out for an evening so I can put it on) Neil
  4. Ah that makes more sense, thanks for clearing it up for me Neil
  5. I thought it Reads as "another CP Steelbook & Matrix 3?" Hope that is the case Neil
  6. Thanks for the update @extantsrevenge I'm intrigued about the comment for a new pre-order in April Hoping for another big movie Neil
  7. Ha ha I'll have a look at the list of winners later & see what I have, as you say if they are any category I might have something Thanks Neil
  8. Love seeing the week 24 challenge entries Sadly this another I'll have to forgo, I don't think I have 5 films to use to enter lol I'll have a look but I've never been big into Awards season & the majority of the films I watch are too low brow for the Academy I'll sit patiently & wait for the Week 25 challenge & hope I can get back on track then Neil
  9. Sorry I've been missing in action for the last few of these awards but as I'm generally not as big a collector as many on here I find many of the challenges beyond me & my collections so Sadly I'll have ti just pick & choose where I can get involved...sorry all Anyway this weeks challenge - 23 is one I can do...YAY go me So my favourite genre will probably have to be Animation/Anime as it just covers so many bases & encompasses all varieties from action to Comedy to Horror everything & no medium can touch it for what can be achieved when making them. So my Top 5 choices are - 1) Transformers: The Movie Probably my favourite film of all time & one that I will never tire of watching, Still remember seeing in the cinema in 1986 & every time I watch it I am transported back to being 9 years old again & it never fails to make me smile...well all except that one part anyway 2) Akira Has to be in here, no animated movie has ever confused me as much as this one or been as influential to practically everything that has gone since Remember the first time I saw it & I was not expecting the spectacle that I was presented with...I had no idea what I was getting into when I saw the VHS in my local comic shop...I only actually bought it at the time because I had never seen a "15" rated cartoon before & my curiosity got the better of me...so glad it did, what an amazing ride & spectacle it was. Got me fully hooked on the Anime genre from then on & that love still continues & grows every day 3) Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse The finest animated Superhero movie period, the art style, the story all top notch & even better is seeing it in 3D...such depth to the proceedings & some fantastic effects, simply breath taking to watch & just so much fun 4) Vampire Hunter D After Akira I got into picking up practically everything that the MANGA label put out in the UK in the mid 90's & from everything I had Vampire Hunter D still stands as one of my all time favourites, great story, beautiful animation & brilliant characters Many people prefer the sequel: Bloodlust but for me I never got the same feeling from that as I did this movie & it's why it will be my favourite 5) Fox & the Hound Wouldn't be a list of Animated movies without a Disney in there somewhere & Fox & the Hound is by far & away my favourite Disney movie of all time Loved it since the moment I first saw it, the animation is beautiful, love the story & no matter how many times I see it I will NEVER not get upset when the widow goes to give up Todd lol There was absolutely no way I couldn't include it in my list So that's my top 5 Now if we are asking what started it all? Well I guess that it would have to be Transformers, now I know I saw other animated movies before this but nothing hit me like TF: The Movie did, from the opening arrival of Unicron to the Decepticon attack the art was just beautiful, the story engaging & characters that I've known almost all my life brought to life (& death) in ways I never expected, from getting home after the cinema I truely understood what animated movies could achieve & how amazing they could be So there we have it that's my Week 23 challenge complete Thanks for reading Neil
  10. Thank you Really pleased to have the award, I think this is likely to be my only specific retailer award as my other collections don't come close to being eligible for the retailers so this means even more to me Neil
  11. Very late to the party for this one but here's my WEET collection...VERY small in comparison to some but by far my biggest single retailer collection & one I'm really proud of Thanks Neil
  12. Hopefully I'm not too late for the Week 18 challenge but it all took a bit longer than I thought to sort stuff out as I wanted to showcase a few different collections while I was at it lol So anyway here are my submissions for the Week 18 collection challenge First up Avengers Infinity War WEET Single Lenticular joined by my Avengers Hot Toys collection of Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Star Lord & Captain Marvel Next up my Batman Titans of Cult & Hot Toys Jack Nicholson Joker (I do have Keaton Batman too but I'm waiting on a new Cape for him as I never liked the Hot Toys one that came with it) Then we have the Aroow Robocop LE & another Hot Toys addition in RoboCop figure Now to finally break away from Hot Toys dominance in my collection & on to some Anime with My Hero Academia movie Two Heroes & this is joined by my Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi figures of All might, Deku, Bakugo & Todoroki Now on to my final addition & this is from my biggest collection full stop & it's the most recent release of the 1986 Transformers Animated Movie in the form of the 4K Steelbook & while I took some effort to decide on who to use I thought it was really only right to use 2 of the more iconic additions to the movie Galvatron & Ultra Magnus So there you go 5 movies & 5 collectables to go with them, I could have included so many more but thought I'd go with these Hope that's all ok & you enjoy looking at them all Neil
  13. Not posted in here for a while but picked up 2 new titles today that I've been after for a while but had never gotten around to getting Lone Wolf and Cub Criterion collection & Threads also a couple of additions that I got for Christmas & 2 absolute classics that I've always loved Session 9 & Dog Soldiers and lastly one from the recent Cyborg Group buy my LE set Neil
  14. Holy crap @Gentleman love all of those, but hot damn that Lego Castle is immense. Hopefully I'll be able to live up to these, just waiting for the weekend so I can get good light to take the pictures & not make everything look too dark...fingers crossed I won't be too late to enter by then Neil
  15. Have been away from the challenges for a few weeks because I've struggled to cover what's been needed within the collection but super excited to get in on Challenge 18 Need to start working out what to use & which movies...busy busy this one Neil
  16. Totally forgot about the club Just saw my invite & joined the fun Neil
  17. Just got on for the Double Lenticular 😁 Not seen the film but like the look of the set Neil
  18. Yeah they priced me out as soon as I saw the cost They look ok but not at that price. Neil
  19. Thanks @extantsrevenge Really pleased to have my first collection award...now I have the bug & need to start hunting out some more awards Thanks again Neil
  20. So after failing yesterday I went back today & took pictures again but this time with some Media Psychos promo My submission for Three of a Kind are... Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill for (UK Steelbook / US Steelbook / Lenticular Slip Amray) Star Wars: Force Awakens (Darkslide Slipcase Amray / UK 3D Special Edition / Novamedia Full Slip) Captain America: Winter Soldier (Zavvi Lenticular Steelbook / Best Buy USA Steelbook...Helmet / Zavvi UK Steelbook...No Helmet) Avengers: Age of Ultron (Best Buy Steelbook / WEET Lenticular B1 / WEET Lenticular B2) Avengers: Infinity War (Zavvi Steelbook / WEET Lenticualr / Blu Fans Lenticular) And that's the lot Hopefully we don't go to 4 times as I only have maybe one title that I've got 4 copies of (two in this list also have 4 copies but I've used them already lol) so I might not be able to get involved but had fun doing this one at least Hope they all pass the test Neil
  21. Been a while but new arrivals for me today in the form of WEET Spiderman into the Spiderverse & Avengers Assemble Both look frankly amazing & the Lenticular effect on Spiderverse is awesome Chuffed with them in the collection now Another great round of group buys & always top class, thanks to everyone involved Neil
  22. So I managed it...I have 5 films that have 3 copies of pictures taken & then I just realised I didn't add any Media Psycho bits Will sort something & try again tomorrow lol Neil
  23. Now this is one I missed On it at lunch time...just need to make sure I have enough movies that I can compete...I have a few that have 3 copies but not sure I have 5 different ones that I can use. I'll see what I can muster up Neil
  24. Time to enter the fray with my Week 11 challenge choices & I've done my best to pick films I both love & might be a bit out of the ordinary from many of the impending selections (not a Star Wars, Batman or Alien movie in sight lol) single So without further Ado here are my picks - 1) The Devils Rejects (Sequel to House of 1000 Corpses) So this is the Continuing saga of the Firefly Family who we meet originally in House of 1000 Corpses & in this film the tables are turned from them just being a murderous family to a murderous family on the run from the law After being found out & seiged at their home the 3 remaining Firefly family members go on a murderous rampage while trying to evade capture. Things don't to plan & are captured by the Law at which point the movie changes tone & you actually begin to feel empathy for them while in lockdown The whole film is a thrill ride for me & takes what made House great & ups the ante & bloodshed. It also gave me one of my favourite endings to any film ever & the use of music is fantastic throughout This is firmly routed as one of my favourite films of all time & probably my favourite horror period 2) Day of the Dead (Sequel to Dawn of the Dead) Now While Dawn of the Dead gets the majority of the love it's Day of the Dead that just pips it as greatest Zombie movie ever Dawn gave us great set pieces & a sprawling narative on consumerism & great characters Day takes all that & gives us something even more special...claustrophobic & tense with probably the finest ending & gore set piece that I can remember as the Zombies make their way down inside the complex Just another fantastic sequel & one I can watch over & over 3) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (Sequel to Michael Bay's Turtle movie) I've been a massive Turtle fan since the 80's but was really concerned when Michael Bay was helming the new movies after his Transformers mess but was more than pleasantly surprised by the first movie & eagerly awaited this sequel What it does is takes the formula of the original & ups the fun by 10 Cast is great the set pieces are even more ludicrous & fantastic than the first & the arrival of Rock Steady & Be-bop are great It just works & improves on the original in so many ways 4) Godzilla Vs Kong (Sequel to Godzilla: King of Monsters & Kong: Skull Island) Set after the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters this takes 2 of the most well known monsters in movie history & pits them against each other in the ultimate brawl Takes elements of all the movies that came before & ups the destruction to near biblical levels lol The creatures look fantastic & even the human element works really well to flesh out the story. The final fight set piece is on a different level to everything that went before & just makes this the one to see out of the whole Monsterverse 5) Cannonball Run 2 What can honestly be said about this movie...so much fun & hi-jinks Takes all the fun of the first & ups the ante, funnier than the first & just the best high speed chase movie IMO So that's my 5 favourite sequels, hope they pass muster Now onto the Question & the one film I'd love to see get a sequel is the recent Power Rangers movie Unloved, Underappreciated & thoroughly neglected I was never really a big Power Rangers fan when I was younger so this is perhaps why I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's great fun from start to finish with amazing set pieces & an ending that even managed to choke me up & it desperately deserved a sequel...the reason for not getting one is also the most pathetic excuse ever - Toy sales were too low & subsequently the studio & Hasbro decided not to press ahead with a 2nd movie...SUCKS!!! Anyway that's my selections Hope they are all ok Neil
