Count Dantes

Morning everyone;

Hope everyone's week is starting off on the right foot.
 

Sadly i missed out on the good conversation going on over the weekend. I am in the same boat as @Hollywood E Rock, i am in the millennial category. Although im going to go in a different direction, im a proud Millennial in the sense that i want to be a part of the wave of innovation! I was lucky to have parents that pushed me but allowed me to make my own decisions. I went to University and graduated with my Accounting Degree, wrote my CPA and CA Exams, and passed.

I'm now running my own practice that i just bought since the previous owner has retired. Its a great place to be, i have 3 other accountants and then 10 JR's who assist with booking, preparing T4 tax returns etc.

This is the busiest time of the year, February-May; Taxes are due and people tend to file late or never do them at all. Not everyone needs an Accountant to prepare their own return but we work with a lot of Businesses and also now help individuals with their investments and portfolios so its crazy. I was at the office until midnight almost all of last week.

Every year my Dad, 3 brothers, 2 brother in-laws, my dads best friend and his 2 sons; take a trip to attend NCAA College basketball March Madness Tournament in the middle of March. We leave a week from Wednesday and its one of the best trips ive ever been on. Every year we pick a different city where the venue is being held. Some of the Cities we've traveled to for the tournament -- Orlando Flordia, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Chicago Illinois, Jacksonville Flordia, Dallas Texas, Portland Oregon, etc. The trips is a blast because its a father son trip with my family and my dads best friend brings his 2 sons. We spend 2 days watching the 1st and 2nd rounds of the tournament in the stadium, its about 6 games. Then the rest of the days we are doing activities like theme parks, segway tours etc. Its so much fun to get away from the busy tax season. This year we are going to St Louis Missouri, i cant wait! The games we watch are always competitive and often there are upset so it makes it fun. We normally don't pick the city based on the teams playing, we try to go to cities that we havent been to before. 

Anyway Keep up the chat, its always a blast to see what everyone is up to.

I got to tell you before it slips my mind again, I really like your new profile pic & banner. Every time I see a post by you I think “damn those are some cool pictures of Spider-Man!” 
 

Thank you sir! Im not going to lie its not easy getting a good profile picture in with the restrictions that we are working with in terms of picture size etc. 

But I had a vision and @goose_3387 absolutely smashed it out of the park as usual on the Banner! 

Thanks again @Hollywood E Rock

Morning Everyone, Wednesday and i woke up this morning excited that we are half way through the week...Look outside and its absolutely blizzarding out. 

Agree with @Veum Hopefully we dont have any members in the Nashville area at the moment, awful tornado.

Enjoy your day everyone!

There are two issues here...

It could be the announcement that Nils already knows about, but can't tell you...

Or it could be a follow up to the annoncement FA made about Disney/Fox. Which would be great news if they have also sorted the problem in China.

 

I wonder which it will be.

@Basil I liked The Martian, which reminds me I still have not watched the Extended Cut. I have the zavvi Steelbook and the two FAC Editions. Good movie.

 

you planning your own Blood party like in Blade 😳, no seriously I hope all is good and it's only a regular check up.

The Extended cut is great! For those that liked the original that is, but i really enjoyed it.

@extantsrevenge how dare you hit us with the breaking news teaser  

@Basil Hope all is well over there mate, you always have the support of us here!

An update from John at Manta Lab

Hello everyone! This is John from Manta Lab. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying year 2020 so far. 

I am here to make a short notice about our company changes in 2020. Last year, our Warner Home Video partner has exited the industry and without the licensee in our territory, we have bid to become the licensee for WHV and after months of selection process, our company was selected as a new licensee. Because of this, we've been working mostly on Warner Home Video releases (These releases have strict deadlines) and couldn't spend a lot of time on creating exclusives. We've been working on few releases including Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Scarface so I hope they will be released soon. 

Because we've become the licensee of WHV, we have decided to move the sales / customer service part of our Exclusive products to another company to streamline our operation.We are working on the details at the moment with the company which will be handling our products. There will be some changes to our website and our social media in coming weeks but we will keep our support mail open to handle all orders up to US and to keep a channel to get our customers feedback on our products. 

Due to many external factors affecting our business, we've been moving a little slow but we hope things will turn out for the best in 2020 for us. 

Lastly, I want to thank all of our customers who have supported the brand and our products for past 4 years. Without you guys, our company and I couldn't have lasted 4 years. Thank you all and if you have any comments, questions or simple hello to us, don't hesitate to email us. 

Thank you! 

Best regards,
John

Got my new banner printer and I love it. Thanks @goose_3387

Finally got around to updated my growing collection. This is a combination of additions from the Black Friday sale, Christmas and the newest Fanatics release 👍🏻

Just the page where @goose_3387 posts it, hold the image and save to your phone/laptop. That's all I done. Hopefully you get it sorted mate 👍

Sorry i wasnt clear on that haha. I got mine banner saved, but your "Media Psychos" Banner is different, where did you save that one from?

Just now, Robertm89 said:

I ordered mine from a printers. You sent them ya banner and they print them and post them out to you dude. I'm in the UK where you at?

Im in Canada, i have a client who owns a print shop so maybe ill see if they can print them for me. 

Where did you save your image from on the website?

@Veum @StrikerEureka79 @Robertm89

@extantsrevenge

When you guys post your latest arrivals, you post a photo of your banner and a media psychos banner. 

Did you print them off yourself?

Oh my god my first MP parcel in 2020 has arrived and my god it was worth the wait.... Massive thank you to @blu.steel33 who kept somethings to one side for me and then sent this monster package. Boxed up bomb proof as always. Everything is perfect. Your a legend mate. I'd try and pick a favourite, and I know I would say this but every edition is love. Weet avengers and HDzeta batman what beasts they are, and it's great to have Tarantino's underated film as a premium edition too.  I love them all, I am over the moon. Thank you to all involved who make this possible 😁

This is actually one heck of a haul there Rob, congrats and i dont know if 2020 could get off to a better start.

@Count Dantes

Thanks my friend  😊

 

you quickly become addicted!  if i tell you that initially i only wanted one and only one.....

...

..

I just looked through your collection and its gorgeous. I know for a fact if i tried to get one and one only it would be a bad addiction, i have an addictive personality and my wife would kill me! 😂

Keep posting i think its awesome to look at others collections! 

Wow this is actually awesome Ben. Although i just looked this up because i have never bought a hot toy before...

I really wanted one, probably doesnt help that you cant buy them direct because they're sold out. 

I do love the display though 👏
