For me an easy pass like LotR.

Print run is 300 copies and RETAIL price is 1099 Chinese Yen.  Keep in mind this is before shipping, fees and costs.  
 

 

Thanks for the pre-shipping price. I'd definitely have liked the Hobbit and Godfather trilogies, and am still mulling over the Hobbit as a companion to LOTR. But with the possibility that all editions (nine copies) land with month of each other, I'm pleased I resisted signing up to all of them.

I am the same way. If these were released with a much larger time difference I probably would get all of them. As the GB are all going up at the same time and already having Gold Label LOTR and Silver Label Hobbit, I really can’t justify getting them all. I’m just going to get the Godfather trilogy as I don’t have a premium already for those releases.

Ditto. There was an instance where my mind frazzled and I momentarily and fervently considered signing up for all three (LOTR, Hobbit & Godfather). But the prospect of being hit with having to pay for 9 releases in a short space of time thankfully brought me to my senses. LOTR nerd, so despite having the two HDZeta editions (Silver & Gold), I had little choice but to say a metaphorical adios to the Hobbit and Godfather. And maybe I won't make the cut for LOTR anyway.

Yes, I'm working on it in a few minutes

 

That is not much cheaper than with discs. Somewhat disappointing price.

It's kind of what I'd expect it to be.

The OC from last year was approx $186, while this one is approx $133 - that $53 difference makes it around 28% cheaper. The only problem is once you add in shipping (assuming it'll be at least the same, if not more), it reduces that down to being only 15% cheaper (for the UK, at least).

Having purchased the OC (with discs) last year, I'm just not sure about doubling up. Tempted, but not sure.

Stupid question (probably), but can someone clarify which MAG Group Buy this thread refers to?

 

 

Not stupid at all. I hadn't noticed this was a 'General' thread when I posted my query (which was in relation to Blade Runner 2049).

@cypheria078 @ShadowWarrior After reading the latest comments in the release thread, I realised I didn't have access to the club for this GB. This led me to notice there was a VET to be paid - which I've now done. I was sure I joined the GB 3 or 4 weeks ago...but I'm now double guessing this as I can't find an email from Gipsy Danger to confirm this. Let me know if I didn't join and I'll do so asap.

It's a shame it's so much more than the FNAC edition (with the title in French on the box) - around £39 extra (excluding any shipping considerations).

...shipping cost is unknown at this time since this is a pre-order and the exact dimensions and weight (with packing materials and box) are not yet known. I suggest sending a PM to @Masterblaster and he can advise on the best option for you. 

 

I'm tempted to join up for this release, despite the lack of Steelbook. But as someone who purchased The Terminator MAG set (and still has the mental scars from the cost of having that delivered), I'm not sure I'm brave enough to risk buying this. I expect I'll regret it, but once bitten and all that.

Man, I was a bit upset when I realized it was going to cost roughly double what I was expecting after I committed but this is a real beaut...

Whereas it (the OneClick) cost half of what I imagined it might, which meant although I would have liked this, I ended up resisting in an effort to cut down spending on premiums. Needless to say, with the reasonable pricing and how good this looks, I wish I'd have crumbled and given in to temptation!

Congratulations to all those newly made Platinum members - very well deserved! While this year's invitation-based process hasn't favoured many existing gold members (myself included), you really can't argue with the approach of rewarding those who contribute the most to the forum. And again, limiting the number of Platinum members, thus making it a more special tier, is definitely sensible.

Thank you all for the welcome!
