Wow, you got that super fast!

Right?! I was shocked it took only a week. Fanatics' 1917 took a month.

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!

Well-finessed. I like that. Perfectly sums it up!

Pictures please... 

 Ugh, of course, where are my manners? Ignore my shaky hands

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!

I know you’re all waiting for pics of the OC, but I only ordered the lenti.

Here’s some pics of it plus the holofoil magnet on the BB steel

I thought mine would be stuck at the local sorting facility until Monday but, by some miracle, it just got updated to out for delivery!

This looks like a nice set. I don’t know if I can justify the cost (including shipping to the US) since I’m not a huge fan of those steelbooks.

However, if that exterior packaging is tin, like the Best Buy Avengers bundle, then I may change my mind. Anyone know if it’s tin or just stiff paperboard?

Paid. Thanks, MP!

Thank you for this site. I'm happy to support such a well-run and friendly forum!

I liked these ones more than the original trilogy (I hear you guys screaming “Herecy!!!”), it’s just a shame they didn’t do the 3rd one. 

I actually thought the Sam Raimi trilogy was just...ok. I found it a little cheesy at times.

I wish I could just give some of my reactions to you. Apparently my flat affect carries over to this forum 😆

Never saw either of these movies and have heard mixed reviews. I do like that steelbook art though...

So, ya'll have me rethinking my choice. Does Manta generally put out only so-so fullslips? This will be my first Manta purchase so I have no idea what their slips are usually like.

Historically, I like to go with lenticulars but decided not to go that route this time. I may have made that decision because I had a headache when those beauty shots came out and I wasn't exactly keen on looking at a lenticular at that moment 😂

That steelbook is...

Sorry bud , this information is TOP SECRET 😁 .

 

Dont worry when it comes time for Members to pick and choose , there will be at least 1 platinum avaialble  amongs all LOL !! 

@Hollywood E Rock and @deckard99 thank you both.

I figured it was a timing thing, but just wanted to know where to go when the time comes. I didn't know if it would be a "the options will show at your time" kind of deal or a "the box is greyed out until your time" situation. 

I'll check back later to pick from what's left 🙂

Where does one go to purchase these memberships? I go to "store" and don't see anything about membership. 

I'm a new member so perhaps this is by design. Will these items show for me when it's time for new members to register?

I agree UHD pulled off a better release but my philosophy is no steel, no deal 🙃

Love the rear image for the fullslip, but can't stand the lack of contrast between the second half of the title and the background. That is such a pet peeve of mine. The double lenticular has so much potential for depth. Decisions, decisions...

Zavvi should take note cough cough star wars 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My thoughts exactly. 😄

I will gladly wait for WeET  to go through this process and I'm happy to see them putting in so much effort. So rare these days...

@Veum and @Basil that's exactly the information I was looking for, thanks!

I'll duck out of here for now...

Also new here and interested in a premium membership. Do I need to put in the request here? I was thinking that there would be somewhere to request once more info comes out for the new cycle. I would like to support the site but am not sure at what level until I see what those costs are. If costs stay the same, may be interested in platinum (if available).

Not being impatient - just want to make sure I don't miss my chance 🙂

Thank you, @Trianna!  That guide is exactly what I was looking for.

Hello!

I am new to this site, but have been (slowly) collecting steelbooks over the past 6 or 7 years. My first steelbook was the Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition way back in 2004 but I didn't wind up purchasing another for several year. Now, I have close to 100 steels with only a few duplicate titles. However, I do not own a single premium steelbook/set having only recently learned about them. I stumbled across this site while doing some research on some previous releases 🙂.

I'm very much interested in learning more (especially what all these abbreviations mean) and hopefully participating in some group buys.  Anyway, I look forward to meeting those who share the same hobby and passion!

Thank you all! I'm happy to be here!

@ukade2327 Thank you for that helpful information. I'm going to head over to the Member Introductions section a little later today to introduce myself.
