Yeah without the embossing and none of the class.

 

These just look cheap, boring and lame.

Agree lol..

New Disney range 🤔

Not digging all that empty silver

Merry Christmas to my beautiful family at MP

I was trying to see which is the most used chat group

So I chose this thread 

Hopefully my message will reach everyone

@★ Platinum Psycho ★ @★ GOLD Psycho ★ @★ Members ★

 @R1s1ngs0n

Nice..🙂

I just love Laurent Durieux's work

Congrats @Reagh top gun

@Mrdugan and @Rambo for silver & bronze, great effort

And finally, thank you to all MP participants who took part

You are the ones that make MP, so a big pat on the back to all of you

@extantsrevenge

Sorry in Qatar right now, so can't physically send pics 

But I can share my list , with the promise of sharing pics when I return to London in a few days time

Hence would still like to be considered for challenge 14

My selection for 5 different animal on 5 different editions are:

Jaws (both Hdz and FAC)

GoTG vol 1 & 2 (Rocket & Groot)

King Kong 2005 (FA

Jurassic Park 1 - 4 (FAC )

The Deer Hunter steelbook

My fav animal has to be the classic shark Jaws

The shark practically re-defined cinema, and the film is an all time immemorial classic

They don't make movies like that any more..

@CAYENNE-FAHRER

Are you able to show the SBs you like (and why the Zavvi ones weren't good)?

I have yet to open my zavvi edition,  so may be faced with the same dilemma lol

Agree Manta was the best for this film 

My 5 fav TV shows 

(1) Columbo , best detective series of all time

So glad I own this complete blu ray set, only available in Japan

(2) Cobra kai

Obviously stems from my love of tye films, but what a series Cobra Kai is

Seasons 1 to 3 were flawless, 4 was very good al, 5 tailed off a bit

I hope they don't over milk this and wrap it all up in season 6

(3) Marvel: Agent Carter & Agents of Shield 

 The earlier TV series from Marvel

Agent Carter season 1 was awesome , season was okayish 

Agents of Shield first few seasons were good, dipped in the middle but loved the brilliant time travel in the last season

And I'm a big fan of Agent Coulson as a character 

(4) Saved by the bell

One for the old school, loved this comedy from the late 80s, early 90s

Used to be called Good Morning Mrs Bliss

Rebranded as Saved by the Bell abd became a cult series 

Very happy with this complete collection 

(5) Titanic: Blood & Steel

TV series originally aired in 2012 to mark the centenary of Titanic,  this TV series is brilliant 

If ever you wanted to find out about the political backdrop in which Titanic was built in Belfast, this is a must watch

An outstanding achievement. I actually enjoyed it more than the film

Three series I'd love to get on physical media

Being a child of the 80s, I would love to see

(1) MacGyver original series (not the reboot) 

There is some DVD existing but only for Region 4 Australia 

(2) Hammer house of mystery and suspense 

Not as popular as the hammer House of Horror series,  but this one is hugely underrated (but superb nevertheless)

There is a dvd release out there, but the quality is hopeless

Deserves a remaster

(3) Doogie Howser MD

Another classic 80s sitcom

U.S & Canada only had seasons released, but no universal complete collection exists!

Hard luck @extantsrevenge

Did not expect Germany going out

@Casiusco

Had Costa Rica held their lead, Spain were out too..

Not to mention Belgium 😲

Even though the front art is a bit overused I greatly prefer it to the recent WWAs. Those were a huge disappointment imo.

 

I plan on getting these and throwing them into the HDZ set. 

You don't like the recent  4k WWA steels? 

They weren't that bad .. 

But you are right, there has not been a killer WEA release for this

Where's Manta when you need then lol

HMV did a part 1 steekbook for their Japanese line, but left it at that

Might be time I finally bought a copy of this movie! Nice looking steelbook, anyone have any opinions on what are the best BTTF steelbooks released so far?

This one is nice

Front is same art rehashed again from previous WWA bluray, but I love the back guitar

The WWA 4k steelbools were better, had a deloreon if you put all three together 

@bossjon @extantsrevenge

Challenge 12: The Directors 

The one and only Tarantino

Every film of his is a cinematic experience :

My personal favourite- PULP

My 3 submissions: 

• Once Upon a time in Hollywood 
• Pulp Fiction 
• Reservoir Dogs

Spielberg 

Probably the most well renowned director in Hollywood 

My personal favourite: Raiders of the lost ark

My 3 submissions

• Ready Player One
• E.T
• Schindlers list

James Cameron

The most ground breaking director in the history of cinema

My personal favourite: The Terminator 

My 3 submissions

• T2
• Avatar 
• Titanic

Avatar 2 Way of Water will be epic, can't wait.. 

@ethnosax @extantsrevenge

Challenge 11

My 5 sequels for submission 

I avoided MCU, T2 and the more common ones

Wanted to mix it up a bit

Kill Bill 2

Loved the franchise, although part 1 had the edge, I loved the character development and further deep dive into the Deadly Vipers assassination squad

R.I.P David Carradine 

BR2049

Worth the wait, for an astounding and visually stunning , atmospheric sequel

Hats off Denis Villeneuve,  you did not disappoint

Top gun Maverick 

A superior sequel to an already iconic 80s cult classic 

Brilliant film

28 weeks later

Love the zombie genre, and loved this as much as the first 

Great continuation of the story 

Shame they did not do a trilogy, with the closing scenes begging for a sequel in Paris

28 months later would be quite something 

Karate Kid 2

Probably my love for the whole franchise and my continuing love affair with Cobra Kai that has prompted this entry

Loved the second entry here, where the focus shifts to Okinawa

Great to explore the back story of Mr Miyagi, plot perfect.

A sequel I'd love to see

I'm sure I'm not alone, there's a huge fan clamour to see a sequel to Alita

It's crying out for a sequel, cannot believe it is not on the cards

Would be a travesty if it does not get done, but with the gap... it is becoming more difficult (should have been a proper franchise in flight by now)

So Mondo are resuming their Zavvi Mondo line

I ordered this yesterday,  thus one is the only Zavvi early access (red carpet) link I was sent so far 

Looking forward to ordering the others

Thor Ragnarok

Cap Marvel

Iron Man 3

Antman and the Wasp

So 5 are in the pipeline correct?

Small correction @Parzival

that was already in 2014.

 

Lots of good points in your argument.

 

Anyway let us stop the discussion about watching or not watching the World Cup in this topic before it gets heated. Anyone boycotting is fine with me but let the other members play our prediction game and watch the games they want to watch.

Oh yes, thanks for the correction.. 👍

Agree.. those who want to boycott, please go ahead

Let others watch and participate 

Thanks 

Even if no one was to watch these games on TV, wouldn't make a cents dent to Qatar

Their revenue streams have already been front loaded

They have sold TV rights, advertising, tourism, gate receipts etc 

TV boycott is a futile exercise as far as financially punishing Qatar is concerned 

Will not make a penny's difference to them,  the economics of such a tournament does not work this way (where not watching on TV will hurt them in anyway )..

Best would be to watch and at least support your team ..

Also, a bit of self reflection is needed here ..in terms of our moral standards 

Back in 2017, Russia annexed Crimea, YES annexed a whole chunk of Ukraine, yet all countries participated when they hosted the 2018 WC. No boycott, no civil rights groups, no FIFA decision etc.. I guess it's fine when the West is fine ..

Surely a whole country being annexed is a bit more serious than a minority LGBT community . Of course, both are serious issues, but why the inconsistency ...?

The world's inaction and failure to act at the time is the main reason we have a war in Ukraine today.

What about China's human rights record when they were awarded the 2008 Olympics..? Which everyone participated in and watched. I guess it's fine because our whole Western Supply chain comes from China? We need them, so let's conveniently turn a blind eye..

Has anyone on this forum thought of boycotting (or getting rid of ) our  Blufans or Hdzeta's because of what China is doing in HK or what they are doing to the Uyghur Muslims... ...

Oh no, I guess not because we all love our DLs and FS and one clicks don't we. .  LGBT and not being able to drink alcohol for three hours are classic 1st World problems . What is happening in Uyghur is nothing short of genocide , yet stunned silence from the whole world.. 

The whole let's boycott Qatar thing is becoming a bit of a joke. A bit of introspection is needed..

It is quite sickening our double standards

Thanks @ethnosax great challenge 

Will there be a challenge 11 this week 😉

Fair points @Scary Hair 

But let's not forget western hypocrisy too in various matters 

However,  we will not turn this forum into a political debate lol..

Anyway I wanted to give a quick reminder to the following Psychos. DON'T FORGET TO SUBMIT YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR THE BONUS QUESTIONS! These can only be added until the 1st game starts.

I've submitted predictions for the bonus questions lol..

Let's see

Isn't this the titans of cult steelbook 🤔

New kid on the block?

Not heard of this retailer....?

Thanks all

@Mutantsmiley @GuyIncognit0 and @Noir21

Teamwork indeed.   Legends

That clears it up 

I have the brown steelbook on it's own 

The lenti one is cool, slight difference on front art and colour, but back art same apart from colour

And inside art identical

Bit of a bummer this, not much differential to go on!

Even various WWAs are quite different to each other , but these two are too closely matched 

Thanks @Noir21 and @CAYENNE-FAHRER

A bit confused

So there are two different  steelbooks

(1) The one with the lenti, if I remove the lenti , is it the same steelbook art on front (and back)?

(2) You mentioned inside art is the same ?  

Cheers
