How the hell is this GB still only at 31 after the recent beauty shots?

Not correct. The group buy is at 67 participants, with 77 slips ordered.

I respect the fact that you are entitled to your own opinion as well, but I can't respect your opinion. Make no mistake, I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight knowing you prefer TDK over The Godfather!

Another 9.9 🤣 3rd best movie I ever watched in my opinion

I can't give TDK a 10. It's fantastic, but not a 10 IMO. Godfather, Godfather Part II, Pulp Fiction, Seven Samurai , T2, Alien & Aliens are all what I would consider to be 10's. I would put Raging Bull and Goodfellas as 10's as well.

Latest pickup from Fleabay.

@LeadFarmerIn my experience Amazon Japan has been much better than our domestic Amazon. I've never received anything damaged from them, and that's with probably 10-15 shipments over the years. They always used boxes.

Fingers crossed we get a (legit) premium announcement and news on a US disc release soon.

Be aware, too, that this Japanese release does not have English subtitles. But damn, it sure is pretty!

That is correct, the only subtitles this has is barrier free Japanese. Very disappointing that there's no English subs.

My latest pickups. Picked up the Criterion 4K's during their 50% off sale.

I assume he's talking about this one. It's a boxset in a long rectangular box with some goodies. I have the one for Dune part 1 (see pic below). It came with a book and a soundtrack cd

Dune part 1 FNAC

Yeah that's the one I was talking about. Now I have to buy the one you have so the completist in me will be satisfied.

I just realized I have as many copies of Dune as I do Blade Runner 2049 😂

It must keep going in and out cause I just checked and it's available!

Was able to order just now, thanks!

I also ordered the FNAC coffee table set, and their 4k Steelbook as well.

March 1

I ordered this set and their 4k Steelbook, due to the scalpers selling out the Walmart Steelbook. @Gary K @deckard99 have you ordered from FNAC in the past and how is their shipping protection/speed?

March 1

And it's already sold out, most likely due to the scalper twats. How else can the second biggest retailer in the world already be sold out.

March 1

When I click on the purchase link it's saying page cannot be found.

@ShadowWarrior Correct me if I'm wrong, but HMV still doesn't ship to the USA correct?

I actually think the faces look rather well done on this one and are not even the focal point of the image so it works well for me.

Yes, I agree. This is a stellar edition, and every CE edition has improved upon the last, from what I have seen.

Now, what I hope is that as soon as we reach 100 orders, an Aliens CE is announced, with art that connects with Alien.

February 23

Ordered it!!

My guess is they have ambitious ideas for premium designs for the titles in your examples, & it may be taking longer to get those designs approved vs the releases that have recently came out. For example it may have been easier for them to get their design for Barbie approved vs Oppenheimer, & as a creative it can be frustrating having to compromise on vision. The creators at Manta probably push back titles when they can’t produce the sets the way they really want to.

I understand that. I just hope that's really what most of these decisions have come down to, Manta refusing to not compromise their vision. I do wish John from Manta would give more updates on the status of some of the older announced sets. It seems like there have been less and less updates from him since Collectong came in.

But at least they are not trying to Blind Box anybody into purchasing anything...whoops errrrr I mean what a brilliant idea from Blufans.... Company line, company line.

I know Manta Lab probably had this planned for awhile, but if they can rush this out so soon after it bombed, or get Barbie out so quickly, then why can't we get Oppenheimer or maybe, hear me out here, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs. Instead it's been Barbie, Blue Beetle, Far From Home, Godzilla, and Aquaman and the Lost Profits. Meh choices in my opinion.

I am sure the more pressing question in America will be 1969 BC or AD?

I wish I could defend ol America, but, quite frankly, we are the world's biggest producers of arrogance, unintelligence, political correctness, and arguing about everything but never coming up with a solution because we are too wrapped up in our own little political ideas to acknowledge any other view points. In other words, we are on a swift downward decline.
