Great challenge buddy

Oh man this is nostalgic

 

1st ever

Forest Gump blufans OAB

I simply loved this movie, and wanted to get it for my dad's birthday 

I remember we watched it together and holds special memories for both of us

I got it from ebay, at a decent price, though remember at the time I was gutted as it was the non soundtrack version 

 

2nd

La la land Manta FS

Again, loved this film

Had no idea what premiums were at the time, but just searched ebay for la la land special edition

This is what came up, and I quite liked the beauty of it 

 

I then realised there is another lenti edition, and a box edition

That was my first education of different editions 

 

3rd & 4th

Red Sparrow & Untouchables CM

Again, pure fluke. Not much knowledge of premiums at the time

Was looking for a limited edition Red Sparrow release,  and a seller had both these on sale at the time 

 

5th

First Man Manta OC

This was my first ever buy from MP

I had no idea what MP was , and came across both High Def Ni*nja and MP at the same time 

I actually thought these were both scam sights 

But then I got talking with @Scary Hair and @ksosk

And hand on heart, it  honestly felt like family and they convinced me to join and try the GB

They were so warm and welcoming 

The rest they say is history 

 

I became a Psycho and premium animal!

 

Re-post @extantsrevenge

With pics

So my fellow psychos

Forest Gump OAB , my first ever premium purchase, hence holds a special place in my heart 

Manta FS was the 2nd premium I brought 

Beautiful

Red Sparrow and Untouchables CM were next 

Finally my first ever GB at MP

First Man OC Manta (I love what Manta do with their editions)

No messing around with WWA, only WEA and very original and cool designs and concepts, like this fabric OC

First of many GBs at MP (as it would turn out) 😜

Happy Sunday challengers.   After a fun week 4 challenge from @raylight that was all about going places, it’s time to announce week 5 where we will be dusting off our way-back machines and going back in time, so without further ado…

 

 

Psycho Challenge - Week 5

There’s A First Time For Everything

a/k/a We Were All Newbies Once

 

For week 5, members need to dig back deep to when they first started collecting premiums.

 

To satisfy the week, you must post 5 different premiums from at least 3 different retailers that represent the first (or close to the first) you ever owned.

In addition, this week is all about our origin stories so for each release, please let us know why/how you found and acquired that particular edition and what about it motivated you to continue collecting that retailer or premiums in general.

 

Finally, one of the editions should be the one that you first bought when you joined MP, or the title that led you to MP.

 

Let’s see how we all got started!!

 

also don’t forget - if you have an idea for a weekly challenge let @extantsrevenge know by saying so in your submission.

Hi guys I'm a week behind the challenges lol.

@extantsrevenge

Wanted to get week 4 done , and post different entries to what have been posted before 

1st up

Duel WCL 

This is the Jaws on road movie

2nd

One of my favourite films Teenwolf (Van)

What a soundtrack 

3rd

How about the Flux Capacitor!

It's a transport vehicle,  it is what makes time travel possible lol

4th

How about the most luxurious cruise liner in the world: TITANIC

5th

Funniest comedy of all time

Airplane 

Hoping these are unique from the previous posts 

(4) I will cheat a little and post 4 entries (as I was late lol)

Love these quaint little extras from CM releases , I think they deserve a special mention

Red Sparrow floppy disk 

1634 Racine matchbox from Untouchables

Great touch, great choice by CM

Wanted to post something different 

(3) Next up, love the Bear Claw from The Revenant from FAC Maniacs

Pics cannot do the diary justice, so here are the full details 

(2) Next up, stunning piece of kit

Dr Jones diary from Indiana Jones 

Apologies @extantsrevenge

I was away, hence could not participate in the 3rd challenge 

I would like to do justice to it, and hence had to wait till I was home

So here goes, albeit a bit late 

(1) Back to the Future Enchantment under the Sea special ticket 

Love the movie, love this limited edition gem

Limited to 1955 editions lol..

We'll all be dead by the time CM get through those titles 

@GuyIncognit0

Great challenge (especially for the sealed collectors) 😄

Haven't I seen this before lol..

My copy of The Batman (Manta Lab Full Slip) arrived this afternoon and looks fantastic! Many thanks to @Masterblaster @deckard99 @cypheria078 @Count Dantes for their work on this group buy!

 

 

A very good FS from Manta

Manta vs Weet , now that would be a good match up down the line  

Let's continue this thread a bit

Let me know of any awesome 80s movies that have not yet got a steelbook or premium treatment .. 

Would love to know from the various fountains of knowledge in this community 

Awesome stuff @CAYENNE-FAHRER

@extantsrevenge

Love the way you take time to comment and analyse each post

Great job 👍

Other very notable mentions

WCL / Mlife

These did not make my top 5, but Groundhog day and Benjamin Button are up there

As is Jaws and The Birds

UHD Club

BR and BR 2049. Stunning 

Schindler's List (leather)

Nova

Avengers 1 & 2

Weet

Spiderman (Tobey Mguire) trilogy 6 edition OC

Kimchi

Memento and Fifth Element

FAC
GiTS and Alita

Blufans

Dr Strange OC

Up

Manta

Inglorious Basterds

Revenant (leather)

Plain Archive

Train to Busan

(3) Titanic limited edition (collector's release)

The best edition for this (and not from a Premium retailer)

But you'll be hard pressed for a better edition of this film

(2) MCU Phase 2

Scandalous they did NOT make a phase 3 artefact release?

Crazy! 

A feel I am cheating a bit , by including more editions 

They did not make my original top 5 selection , as I was not sure they qualify as Premium

But these are very dear to my heart , so thought I'd share anyway

(1) MCU Phase 1

(5) Terminator MAG

Really surprised this has not got a mention

Includes the two best sci fi films (T1 & T2)

Beast 

Artwork on each FS edition was amazing

Wow factor. Everyone I've shown this edition to in the flesh, they have had their jaw drop , and been speechless!

Just don't attempt the puzzle inside it! I've been to the mental asylum and back

Next thing I'll find myself next to Hannibal lector (stay well clear of the puzzle lol)

(4) The Shining CM

Probably CM's best release

A bit of a Holy Grail going by Ebay recently

Here's the reason why. It's a fantastic edition

The Artwork does it for me, unique and atmospheric

Great edition for a great film

(3) La La Land FNC

Again, driven by my personal love of the film

I love the La La land FNC Korea deluxe  edition

A shame they don't do many releases

A toss up between this and the Manta Lab OC, but something special about this edition

(2) Forrest Gump OAB

One of my favourite films, and I own each premium edition

OAB

FAC Maniacs

HDzeta

UHD club

Close call between UHD (wooden) edition which was beautiful

But my fav has to the OAB edition

Beautifully crafted briefcase and goodies

The feather was a lovely touch

Pretty tough challenge

So many priceless editions, holy grails, favourite retailers, personally & emotionally close films etc etc

This is difficult!

I guess it will boil down to the film for me, and whether or not there is a premium to do it justice!

In no particular order:

(1) TDK trilogy Hdzeta

Probably the best Hdz release. Each OC for each film was impeccable , with each edition being superb

The mother box killed it, great concept and idea, still never matched
