Loads of Bubble wrap . 

 

I wrap individually top to bottom then layer wrap right to left .

 

Then pack in a mega strong box . Now BEFORE you seal the box press in on the sides while lookin into the box . Look for pressure against the packed steels . If there is pressure add more bubble wrap . Away you go 👍❤❤.

 

 GOOD LUCK IN YOUR MOVE 

 

Some really great suggestions here everyone thanks so much! Trust me its not ideal to have to pack up and move with your wife and 9 month old baby but the family needs some help and we are going home to be part of a phenomenal support system. 

@R1s1ngs0n 🤣 thanks for the tips, ill probably have to go with #1. 

It'll be good to be back home around some family its been a while!

Hi @Count Dantes

 

Yeah they should have won this one, my man TY was a little rusty... I do not see my COLTS doing much this yr.! 😣

 

Hope your EAGLES can come back for you my friend! 😉

 

I agree TY was a little too worried about calls he wanted when he should have just focused on his game, when he does that he is a force to be reckoned with.  They need to re-establish the deep threat with TY. 

I dont believe its over for them yet. Top 3 offensive line in football, One of the bet linebackers in football...They've got a shot! 

Need some help from my fellow Psychos...

Looks like we are planning an emergency move back to my home land of Canada to help out with some family stuff that they need assistance with. Miracles in the fact that we already have a house aligned up and work is already dealt with and lined up. Looks like we will be moving home during Christmas and hopefully have our roots established the first of the year in our new home. 

I have no idea how im going to possibly pack up and safely move my beloved steel collection.

The premium editions, i save all of the wonderful packing that John and his team at the HUB ships our premiums in. But its my 70+ Steels from Best Buy, Zavvi, etc that are in their protective cases. Really worried about moving those safely. 

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to pack my steels to prevent any dents and damages? 

Ill be packing a massive 40+ foot Trailer and my Yukon so i dont have to worry about movers and or shipping boxes home etc. 

Morning!

One of the typical routines once i get into my office is to come and check out what you Psychos are up to...lets just says half the GIF's posted here are NSFW 🤣🤣. I have to do he quick scroll through here ill tell you that much. Hope everyone is getting ready for a fantastic weekend. 

@Veum Tough game last night, the Colts really should have pulled that out. Love me some Frank Reich, he came over from my Eagles who are clearly struggling this season. Not to late to turn it around though! 

@ksosk

Kind of hoping this will Fit the new Spider-man into the spider-verse 🙌

Thanks so much for making these available to us! 

I'm already giddy as hell so this isnt helping seeing them pop up. The drive home from work ill barely be able to contain myself...100% going to shedding tears when i see nothing on my front step 😰😭 haha.

Seriously, so excited and cant wait for this to show up!

Saw these posted yesterday on Facebook. 
 

pretty excited for this! Can’t wait!

Will there be a pm with tracking when they are being shipped or are they just sent out from manta with no tracking. I can't remember what happens when it's direct.

Typically @airwins will PM Tracking numbers when available.  I Could be completely off base with that.

@extantsrevenge Might have more information for Direct Shipping

It wont even let me login to my Amazon account after i add it to my account. 😓😓😓

It was delayed for a week from the release date which was the 24th aug I know it takes longer due to the hub ect but does manta lab not update who ever the packages are getting sent to that they have at least been dispatched because to other people it could still be sitting with manta yet loads of people are receiving theirs. 

So Manta Is actually a really small business out of Hong Kong so i dont have all the information... sorry! But they are doing the best they can with how small they are and its actually impressive how far they've come. The dispatch question, if im understanding right; would have to be answered by @deckard99. 

Also another thought is that for those that chose HUB, customs might take a little longer because the amount of editions that are getting sent to the HUB. But they very well could be at the HUB at this point and we are just waiting on distribution. 

The loads of people who have their editions already are most likely those who chose direct shipping. Thats just a guess! 

Im in the same boat, im a terribly impatient person but MP's is teaching me how to be more patient 😂

It’s nearly been another week and there is still no update on the order

@deckard99 @extantsrevenge @ksosk

Correct me if i'm wrong but i know its been mentioned shipping was delayed already. 

Keep in mind it can take an extra couple weeks when it gets shipped to the HUB because they have to organize all the packages, some members get multiple orders from the HUB once big GB's show up so at this point its just a waiting game.

I know it isn't fun but the HUB is busy and we have to be patient!

@Count Dantes

that card engraving looks superb. 

 

Looks like John @Masterblaster will be shifting blank cards. 

Thanks Dave, I agree I was really hesitant but the guy who did it was a true pro. $10.00 to engrave it so I got a steal of a deal in my opinion

@Count Dantes

Your name’s not Edmond by any chance?!

It's not haha I just love The Count of Monte Cristo, one of my favorite books and movies. Love everything about it! 

Afternoon,

Gotta agree with Mr. Hollywood, John and his staff are top notch and its crazy to think about the time they put into this when over 1/2 are probably working their primary jobs during the day as well. The diversity across the world is crazy. I was explaining how MP works to a close cousin at a funeral this weekend and he couldn't believe how many of us are connected all across the world!

@extantsrevenge & @ksosk working with our companies out of China and Hong Kong using their Mandarin and Cantonese, so 谢谢你, I know we have many others who work closely with Retailers so sorry I didn't mention them. @DodgyDave doing work as well making sure we are all in line and organized for Blufans GB's 😂 "Retired" But still doing as much work as most haha. So thanks to all of you!

Also just got my MP Card that I purchased since there was an extra.

It didn't have any name engravings because I just recently got my membership upgraded. So I took it to an engraving place, I was ridiculously nervous as to how they were going to do with matching it to everyone who had theirs engraved previously. I think they did an amazing job. Straight 🔥

@Veum in the same boat my friend. The boss lady is starting to realize not everything I buy is “on sale” or “a great price”. Lol. 

You should ask @Masterblaster his opinion on how to deal with, what my line of work would call; a “spousal objection”  it’s rather blunt lol 🤣 😂

Any member or staff member is on hand to help should you need it 😊 .

 

Loving it wait until you get the little beauties in hand and on your shelf

 

@Xeneixe

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me, i'm available to help throughout the day and always willing to answer questions!

Mail was a little out of control the past week... My poor wife lol, starting to appreciate them more and more

Huge shout out to MP for doing what you guys to do make this happen, all the mods, etc! Massive shoutout to the man who works round the clock for us; @Masterblaster. Thanks for putting up with me and my high maintenance self. Thanks for all you do for us John! 

My collection is rapidly growing which isn't healthy for the bank account lol.

The Aquaman and First Man OC are gorgeous. Manta has really stepped up to the plate lately with the Boxsets. HDZeta killing it as usual though.

@Sheikah Absolutely loving the set up. I currently have a KS8000 in one of the rooms in our house and havent regretted buying that a couple years ago. I really need to get some surround sound running but i have no idea about speakers, the research needs to begin! 
 

I recently upgraded my other room to an LG OLED, I would HIGHLY Recommend upgraded when its feasible, not that you were hesitant lol.

@LMT0286  I might need some lessons on speakers and that atmos set up. One day ill achieve that. Still a newly wed and the boss lady isnt the happiest about the steels 😂 She most certainly doesnt complain about the TV when a movie is on though haha.

This is Money In The Bank, straight 🔥. Thanks so much @goose_3387

Hey @goose_3387 new member who finally got Platinum membership.

I would love that beautiful platinum banner along with one of you're shagadelic custom made banners. 

I'm going to PM you though about mine!

Got my OC today and wow just gorgeous 😍. For those who opened theirs, Has anyone found a sleeve that would fit over this as a protector?! 

Hey everyone!

Thanks to everyone who has been so welcoming to me the past couple week. Huge shoutout to @romeroland for bringing me here. My wife despises you all already  . I recently got into collecting Steelbook around Christmas of 2018 and this is my collection already. Im realizing the premium are a much more expensive hobby but darn are they beautiful.

Im actually Canadian and recently moved to Utah with my wife. We just had our first little guy join us one month ago and hes awesome! My username comes from my time i lived in Russia with my brother doing service for a year in Novosibirsk and Moscow.  He always said i looked similar to Putin haha super strange so thats always been my username!

Also huge shoutout to @deckard99 & @Masterblaster they have been amazing helping me through this new process and answering all my excessive questions. You two have made it an awesome experience

@romerolandThanks so much! Glad to be here, nervous about the hurt this is going to put on my bank account but i cant contain the addiction 😂
