Currently doing the numbers allocation on this one. I noticed that some members that request most of the CE did not go for this one. If you have changed your mind now, please make a request in the next 24 hours, otherwise we can no longer allocate your regular CE number to you.

TIL I have a CE allocation number!

I've never bothered to look at my specific number before today lol.

Massive grain of salt:

 

This comes from the “President of Physical Media’ on X who claimed their “Target Sources” have said that the big chain retailer will not be selling any more physical media within the next year. 

 

 

This has been all over social media today, from more than one source. Supposedly, Target responded and "confirmed" they would soon (like, within the next couple months or so) stop all physical media sales except for "select DVDs" (their quote). Why continue to sell DVDs and not Blus, who can say? Couple this news with their almost complete downsizing of their physical media products over the last six months, and the end does indeed look near. Target will soon go the way of Best Buy.

No huge loss, imo, though. Their offerings were pretty meager, except for a few cool exclusives every once in a while. Best Buy was a much bigger loss. But yet another retailer exiting the market still isn't a good thing for us collectors and hobbyists.

While the OC was enticing, I ended up going with the Fear edition. The art on the full slip and steels for this set is friggin' amazing! 😍 

 

The Loser steels are just kinda meh imo, although people that enjoy the minimalist look will probably like them. The outer box of the OC is very nice though which is why I did consider it, but I couldn't justify the cost solely for that.

Ditto. I am very excited to get this edition as well. 

Feel exactly the same way! I'm excited for the Fear edition. 

I also considered the OC, as IT is one of my favorite Stephen King stories. But I just couldn't get behind the Losers edition lol.

@extantsrevenge

My submission of 50 steelbooks for Stage 1:

Another 50 steelbooks (100 total) for Stage 2:

For your consideration, @extantsrevenge...

Jaws

Jurassic Park

The Fifth Element

Arrival

Gladiator

Unfortunately, I don't own five copies of any single film (but plenty of titles with 3 or 4 editions) at the present time, so no submission for Stage 2.

I'm a little late to the party here, but I saw the Horror Award on another member's wall and thought I'd post a small sample of my Horror collection, as well LOL. Horror is, after all, one of my most favorite genres.

The only titles that might not be overly familiar or recognizable are Let Me In (vampires) & The Firefly Trilogy (Rob Zombie horror collection; bottom row, middle).

And so I present for your consideration, @extantsrevenge....

How did I not hear about this?? Could swear I'm following all the Raro threads. Thank God I AM following the "Release Update" thread lol.

Anyway, I'm in for this one as well. That "Fear" edition is sick! Love that each film comes in its own metal box as well. Best looking Raro release I've seen so far.

I handed out the Event Award to all the qualifying members/staff.

 

With that the event is completely done ☺️

 

Thanks again to all participants and helpers, it is very great to hear the postive Feedback and to know that you enjoyed the Games.

 

Now I can finally rest 🤣

These Easter event games were great fun! I had an absolute blast, and I hope to see more events like this one in the future. Thank you again to you and the rest of the MP staff for making this possible.

These games were great fun! Thank you to everybody involved, especially @raylightand my GM @Gary K. I hope we see more great activities like this one in the future.

Congratulations to all the prize winners, as well. 

Thank you all!

How about next year we just have a big barbecue? We can even invite Psycho Bunny...

This grid was, by far, my worst of the lot. Think I only scored 3 numbers out of 24 this round lol.

Congrats to all the winners this time around!

What is your reaction?

 

Are you like

 

or more like

 

Have you already lost all your confidence?

 

Or do you feel like

0/3 again today...

which brings my grand total up to...0/6

Consistent with my luck throughout these games so far, I'm 0/3 to start Game #3

Congrats on the last two Bingos, @bl4ck5t3r and @CAYENNE-FAHRER!

Scored another number...but not the one I needed for the Big B....

Perfectly on time to claim Bingo #3

 

on Bingo #1 @BreakBeatDJ and Bingo #2 @hal56

 

Bingos left! Will we see another one today? Or do we have to wait until tomorrow?

 

I see

possible Bingos coming up, that need just 1 more number 😲

Just...

Cant I get there this time? LOL

Just now, extantsrevenge said:

We have

possible Bingos coming up. They only need

correct number.

 

Who will be the first?

Next draw we'll probably get those five bingos!

I do need two numbers for my own Bingo...keep holding out some slim hope I'll see them lol.

Question: if more than 5 people get Bingo from the same draw, does everybody get credit? Or just the first five to report it on this thread?
