I tried to order direct but the time it was supposed to go up it didn't than almost an hour later it was sold out. Was it delayed in being listed? I was a bit annyoyed because I took my break at 12pm UK being HKT 8pm but if didn't list for 10 minutes I checked.

Got mine in the other week, the full slip is stunning, but the whole collection is beautiful... I think Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman has a lot to do with it, though. 

Looks phenomenal - I couldn't decide between the two so I chose to get both editions - that lenti is stunning!

Updated. But in the future it’s best to post in I&Q topic while tagging staff member in charge of GB.

Will d, thanks for the info regarding it and the update!

@Garypool As you can see from this thread many members are in the same position. You chose HUB shipping so you will get tracking info from your hub when they receive your copy. How about switching to a nice cup of tea instead? 

Ah, I assumed that when shipping invoices were sent they were at the local HUB and ready to send to home address - is this not the case?

I paid the invoice on the 1st but received no tracking or the boxset. I'm paranoid at the best of times but now I'm slurping my whiskey like an alcoholic out of fear (and not alcoholism).

Requested a full slip also

Still holding out hope that one becomes cancelled from Collectong, on their waiting list for the OC!

But in all seriousness, anyone who thinks otherwise is not part of the collecting community, and definitely, in my opinion, goes against the communal values that I perceive this site to have.

To buy up multiple copies through different avenues is such a self-serving act, especially when everyone knows who collects here collects out of passion and completion. So for others to knowingly buy multiples, especially for scalping, whilst others go without are incredibly selfish and 100% in it for themselves.

More than just securing copies on this site it's lovely to chat amongst others who enjoy the same hobby and the same products, and it's a joy to share what we have with others who collect. Yet it seems for some, and again, not targeting this site specifically, that the discussion around the items are such a surface level, for they don't give a stop using inappropriate language about the collecting community who are in it purely for the joy and not for the monetary gain.

Had a OC in my basket, but was not fast enough.   Did grab the Tenet OC to sooth my disappointment. 

Lol, exactly the same as me. I got a Tenet one-click and a Interstellar full-slip. I randomly on an off-chance got to secure a Dunkirk one-click after it had sold out, which annoyingly has set me on the path of getting these Nolan one-clicks. 

So to miss arguably what is going to be the most scalped version is incredibly frustrating.

I always wonder how many people out there do that so they can scalp one off and keep one for cheap….. or just scalp them both 

I'm sure there were a fair few who have done this. Just scalping of any sort really annoys me. As a collector I would want as many other people to be able to enjoy a copy or version of something within its limited run. So to know that quite a lot of people intentionally buy up multiple copies/versions to horde for themselves and to sell at higher prices is beyond me. It's not being a wise businessman, it's being a grade A cunt. 

Wow this has quite the delay 😮

Just out of a raging pettiness, for anyone regardless of which site they're on, who has secured a one-click on a group buy and then snagged one through collectong...

so frustrating, as soon as it turned 13:00 I had the one-click in my basket but by the time I had checked out it disappeared. Only managed to get a full-slip in the end. Really wish that as soon as it's in your basket that it secure one for you...

I got the lenti but wish I got the full-slip hahah. The beauty shot didn't convey the texture on the full-slip so it looked a bit tacky to me, but looks killer in person. Anyway, can't wait to receive the lenti soon hopefully. Never seen the film so interested to watch it! Love me some "film" films.

Gonna have to try getting it when it goes live on their site. Pray for me boys!

@AlexanderTheMan it is on hold for the moment! 

Is it likely to come back for request? It's the one I want  so holding off!

Yeah I missed out on the website order as well as the group buy. Might just take it as a sign and leave this one be, perhaps pick up the double lenti somewhere down the line as that's the only one that appeals to me really high outside of the overall one-click.

Congrats to everyone who got it!

Great job! Unfortunately I didn't make the cut and will have to source elsewhere.

*Makes sad collector noises*

Unfortunately, With this being such a popular release , it is very doubtful that we will be allocated any more copies so a reserve list may be getting your hopes up ...but if we do then they will be allocated in list order..

Hm, I see. Right.

Whom may I direct my anger at that isn't myself? Taking volunteers!





😭

Not sure if already answered- I want to order a one-click but it's not an option on the request form?

Edit:

Just laboriously travelled all the way back one page...

NOT ENOUGH SUPPLY?!

Is there a waitlist option to apply for one-click if they produce or allocate more?

I've bought so many of my premium Steelbooks on Ebay because I was late to the game for some of them or always missed buying them when up for pre-order on the official websites, so spent a lot more than I should have done playing catch-up on there. The fact that I can just apply for an order months in advance and then forget about it until invoices are out, I really don't mind the delay in postage or perhaps a high postage and handling fees, because they still don't add up not even remotely to what I would otherwise have to pay, and I have ease of mind - on top of that just so happens there's a realy nice community here also.

Who else am I going to admire glossy cardboard and embossed "steel" with? 

Just got my one-click direct from Collectong! So happy I saw this last one for sale, decided to open it instead of keep it as a time-capsule money investing device and so glad I did! All three editions are stunning, the fullslip being phenomenal. Now own Joker and Dunkirk Mantalabs! 

 

Just got an email form Royal Mail saying mine's cleared customs also.

Anyone know status of ones being shipped via HUB to the UK?

I do love both of them to be fair. In my DC collections, from HDZeta I get lenticulars, I try my best to get single lentis but sometimes the design does sway me on whether it's a double lenti or not, so my HDZeta DC collection is a bit Frankenstinian. I do love the full-slip type backs of the single lentis, overall my ideal collection from them would be single lentis with the full slip backs with the current designs that I own. It' slightly frustrating not having the uniformity I'd ideally like, especially Man of Steel being the sole fullslip in that lineup. I just couldn't buy a Man of Steel lenti from HDzeta, absolute awful design usage on the lenti's, frustratingly.

But with Mantalabs DC lineup, for the most part barring two perhaps, I 100 percent prefer the full slip designs. So this is my uniform collection of DC and I'm sticking to it. In releases that aren't DC from Manta I just typically go with which design is better, although I'd prefer to just have a full suite of FS's from them, instances for me for example with Shape of Water and Fight Club and Seven I just couldn't get the full slips of them when I enjoy the lenti's a lot better. So it's annoying, I have to battle my preference of design with the desire to have a uniform collection, and I really don't want to collect every version from every film just to subdue that, so I think I'm walking a line that suits myself despite these frustrations.

So that's how I've managed to combat my love for both. But man, those Manta fullslips, they make you you want to touch them, move them around, inspect each corner of the slip and enjoy all of the extremely well-thought out design that goes into them. The Aquaman and Justice League slips are like Black Philip looking at me when I'm about to order asking "Would'st thou like to live deliciously?"

Speaking of, please Manta, fullslip A24 titles, a fullslip The Witch, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, Midsommar, omg...

Just received my full slip.

 

This is my first Manta release and I am really impressed with it. They did a great job with the spot gloss, textures, and embossing. After looking at it for a while I noticed that even "A film by Christopher Nolan" is debossed - something you would miss by just running your fingers over it. Really great job and the pictures do it no justice.

 

This is only my second fullslip (My premiums consist mostly of lenticulars) but this blows the other one (Blufans - Coco) out of the water. I can also see myself getting addicted to these lenticular cards that Manta includes 🙂

As always, thanks to all those who work so tirelessly here at MP to provide us with such cool stuff!

Yess! Looks phenomenal!

I used to get lenticulars also. But Now, well, primarily with Mantalab, I choose the full slips. Absolute lovely designs and very well finessed, an absolute joy to look at and I feel one of Manta's top selling points.

Can't wait to get mine in!
