Crikey, it’s a septuple dip on The Thing today… it’s crazy how this one film seems to be insta-buy every time!

Not relevant but I thought it was cool ⬇️
 

@extantsrevenge my instinct response was, wow 25,000 euros… that’s a lot to lay out 🤣

Scarily though, that may be close to the truth !

Congrats on your haul and hitting that incredible MP contribution mark!

Through the door in a flimsy card envelope. Amazon U.K. Worked out though, phew….

Event Horizon (Collectors Edition). I loved this film back in the day  the slip is FAC XL sized and a dull matte finish. Gloss (like the decent looking postcards) would have looked nicer, I think.  Having that 4k banner/age classification as part of the slips print is also a bit of a schoolboy error and pulls it out of being a display piece for me.
 

Lovely steel though, and that’s the main point 😍
 

Top Gun was a very good return to the picture house for me and Mrs. Yarbles @Basil you’ll have a blast.

 Now, does the success of this film pave the way for Goonies: The New Batch ?

Good morning peasant’s !

Some mowers appear to need a licence… 🤣

Good morning, afternoon, evening,

DeLorean are making 88 of this electric car.. nice huh? They have a reserve button lol 😆 

The DMC site here for more pics.

Nurse (2013) from Lionsgate

I was so taken back by seeing this on another forum I immediately ordered from Amazon (France as it happens, albeit a German release) and just days later here it is.  I haven’t yet seen it, but it has two of my favourite things: an attentive health care worker and a 3D presentation ♥️ It may turn out to be rubbish, but sometimes the steelbook trumps the content !

edit 18 May. The film was mehhh and the 3D was mehhh… 😆
 

Space Station V, the clipper and the title are ripe for embossing.

Pop my eyes Manta…

It should be around 172mm (height) by 140mm (width)

This is actually a great relief. I worried about the height particularly - that’s the one thing that can’t really have a workaround if shelf mixing BN with SteelBooks. 👍 

Another interesting edition. I’m intrigued by the blu ray disc, sitting how it does in these BS’s… 
Well done, creators.

I haven’t received an invoice yet - are they still in process?

No invoices sent to anyone yet my friend.  Ksosk shared the following yesterday

“The MP Case production is still on schedule.

However, there maybe a delay to the paper factory so slips are delayed as China is on partial lockdown.

Everything is under production now and this part is beyond our control already.”

edit: correction! Invoices are in fact coming out in batches… apologies.

I do like the BN route being taken, and naturally this route will produce good old like it/loathe it debate.  A lot of us are saying that we haven’t seen this for 20 years. Me too. The neon tease looks great and I’m happy to come on board 👍 
 

People are getting ahead of themselves with the next and next release. Exciting times, so I have to join in, pipe up and plant a second seed for the decision makers, for a 4 slip set of the Reeve quadrilogy. Old skool DC should get a pass 😉

Now up on Zavvi for preorder.  I’ve ordered, and the £ is taken a few days prior to dispatch 👍 I already have the Manta, but this looks too lovely to ignore. 😍

edit. The USA link Here if the above doesn’t auto transfer you.

I do love that ex-machina OC box.  One day… one day…. ! 😍

@Veum You’re welcome. Sadly the swimmer isn’t completely true to the scene. 👙 I still want to reiterate that it’s not perfect. The glued panels look a bit rough 😉

Mate, that's awesome

 

Where'd you get that 3D display if you don't mind my asking? 

 

I need one. 

Haha… I knew if stuck the diorama in there you’d dig it 👍

This is made by SD Toys. Because I can be a bargain hunter, the cheapest for me, oddly, was in Spain. A place called TechInn and roughly £50 posted. Sadly OOS there now,  but there will be online stores in the US if not AUS that have it I’m sure. I think more are being made as it’s a preorder Here. Frankly the finish isn’t that great, but it’s so cool I can get by that! 🦈

I like Jaws. Jaws likes me.  My thanks to those responsible for this, from brain cells to my door!

The 3D display came through a few weeks ago. I hope to customise it with an led backlight 💡 Just a torch at the moment.. too bright!

Got mine along with E.T. the other days and what I'm disappointed with is the Title placement...It's on the package 19 times and with the 10 cards having the title on both sides 39 times! I want more...how about every surface 2 or 3 times! I'm surprised they missed a few spots. It never entered their minds it might be overkill...bothers the hell out of me...it's on the flap opening on the outside...the inside and where the magnetic flap rests on the box. I love the coin and metal card but overrall is very disappointing. Patiently waiting for the Cinemuseum box.

Thank goodness the release wasn’t The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension - that would’ve really ticked you off 😆

To be fair, some of us initially signed up for the special wooden box. 😅

Wooden box? This one has certainly been through the mill… 😆   I remember there were hopes for a 3D diorama style too 🦈

Glued on, loose, lenti or fullslip this will still be a cracker in hand.  I wonder how much appetite ksosk has for Jaws 2 🤣

Ultimately I’ll be grateful to receive this UHD this week, but I do get the point made by @Intentcoin. I’d signed up for a non-lenti, because that’s my preference. Some folks moaned about the lady partying in Bruce’s mouth and a compromise was made. TBH a loose lenti didn’t seem practical for those opening the package, but let me judge it in my own hands and feedback.  Jaws is the number one anyway, so it’ll take pride of place regardless… ! 🦈

So Zavvi corrected themselves AGAIN. The Dark Knight Ultimate Collector's Edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook is in fact a steelbook lol

It’s been a funny few days for the Batman. The Batlan (copyright R1s1ngs0n) series might well be the biggest Warner cash grab ever! Says he that has preordered this collection, wants Manta and will be on Blufans too.  It has an insane draw that series… 😆

Debatable. I had to bleach my mind after the fourth one. 😛

Just one more for a quadrilogy @CryoSteel 🤣

Find the difference from this WWA Collection

 

and the Manta Wea

 

beside the matt vs glossy and embossed 😁

oh no… bubble burst !  Well, at least they’ll have some fancy slips. 

Goodness me, Manta just keep on producing the goods…!
