  1. @extantsrevenge Here is my submission for the One-click Treasure Hunter Award! Manta Lab (8) WeET (6) Blufans (4) HDZeta & Cinemuseum (4) Broad Nation & UHD Club (3)
  2. @extantsrevenge Here is my submission for the Manta Lab Treasure Hunter Award!! The photo above equals 12 The photo above equals 9 Plus these 4 singles = 25 total
  3. @extantsrevengeJust a thought : Is this just a very tough award to get or are people unaware of the award? If my math is correct: I have the 10 I previously submitted, 7 Wooden boxes, and the Jurassic Park Ultimate Edition. I'm not sure how many JP counts as, but if it's 1 then I would not reach the presumptive next award goal of (25) until I receive Unforgiven, The Hobbit trilogy and the Godfather trilogy! 😂 I'm wondering if you might want to open up the next stage now anyway for those few who might have enough ? At this rate the first stage will reach 50 submissions around the same time as Cine-Museum will release their Back to the Future set. I'm sure you would agree that 2026 is a long ways away!
  4. John Wick Chapter 4 4k from Novamedia. Thanks to @Masterblasterand crew for the group buy and safe/fast shipping of this beautiful release!! Another one where the pictures do not do it justice. Crisp and clean Lenti with a nice transition. And look at that, BLUFANS pay attention, a Lenti with an extra layer of plastic on it to prevent scratches and dirt! Quality control, what a concept. Good Steelbook that matches 1-3. And the special gift with the cards are great as well. Now, I can only hope that Nova makes a special box to fit all four. #Teamopenitup
  5. Unless they are trying out a new sales strategy, that's gotta be a place holder date.
  6. I got a surprise in the mail today as I had no shipping alert, I still thought it was in customs lol Anyway, here is Spider-Man No Way Home from Manta Lab. Thanks to @Masterblaster and crew for the group buy for this beautiful release! I pre-ordered this the same day as Spider-Man Homecoming from WeET. I remarked, after seeing the beauty shots of Homecoming that I almost regretted ordering this and not waiting for the WeET version of this movie. I am here to tell you that I was completely wrong. This is the best release from Manta that I own from this year, beating out Inception and 2001. The beauty shots don't do it justice, and even my pictures don't quite convey the quality of this set. The full slip is suberb, the single lenticular has depth, clarity, and great transition. The double lenticular is awesome, and my pictures don't convey how great this is. The depth effect on this one is probably the best I've ever seen on a lenti and makes you feel like the shards of glass are truly there in front of you. The extras are good, The one click box, while plain looking in the beauty shots, is actually very nice. And unlike my last 4 one-clicks from Blufans, I had zero swirls/scratches /dirt on my lentis or box. Good quality control as usual. Manta is number one in this premium game. The only ones who are close are WeET and UHD Club. #Teamopenitup
  7. Lord of the Rings motherbox by HDZeta. Thanks to @Masterblaster and crew for this beautiful motherbox. I mentioned a few days ago that I wouldn't be surprised if HDZeta didn't release anything in the next 6 months or maybe even this year, and then the next day they had the Group Buy for Barbie lol Better than nothing I guess. Anyway, this box is very sturdy, well designed, and looks phenomenal. Much better quality than I expected. The glue is not coming off the back like everyone else. My glue is coming off from underneath the black foam slots that house the movie. One side stays down, the other side comes up. The foam slots are very snug when putting the one clicks in, to the point where I struggled to take the one-clicks out, even with two hands.
  8. Challenge 38: Are you Excited Yet? 3. Dune Part 2 2. Joker Folie A Deux 1. Deadpool 3 Marvel is taking most of 2024 off, with the exception of this bad boy, due to oversaturation, lower quality releases, and dwindling box office numbers. This movie better stick the landing or Marvel's comeback may not happen.
  9. Two things happened here I believe : #1 HDZeta used the cheapest possible glue they could. And/or #2. They used decent glue but have been sitting (not literally) on these Motherboxes for a long time/they were improperly stored. The amount of money we paid, coupled with what we paid for their below standard (for them anyway) LOTR One-Clicks, they could have at least used some proper glue. I said it a few weeks ago, and I believe it more now: I don't think we'll see another release from them this year, and maybe not for a long time, if ever.
  10. @Gary K Nevermind, I'm having a senior moment and getting confused lol
  11. I can agree that Goodfellas is great, my favorite Scorsese movie, but did you just say the Godfather movies were overrated... and Casino is on the same level as Goodfellas ...
  12. Sadly, you are not the only person I know of who hasn't seen it. If you have never seen the Godfather trilogy you are in for a treat. The first two movies, along with Pulp Fiction, are my three favorite movies of all time.
  13. Purchased. My first purchase through Walmart. Hopefully, a Steelbook won't be up for pre-order tomorrow after I already ordered this.
  14. The Prestige by Blufans. Thanks again to @Masterblasterand crew for this group buy! This release is a mixed bag for me. Let's start with the good: The design of the slips are phenomenal. The Single Lenti transition is seamless, with good clarity. The Double-Lenti is absolutely fantastic, and even the Fullslip is really good. Same with the Steelbook, which is excellent as well. The extras are, as always with Blufans, varied and of high quality. I've always loved that they will give you different extras for each slip. But it's the quality control, or lack thereof that bugs me about this release. Maybe it's just my set and a run of bad luck. In my pictures, I did not focus on these issues as I didn't want to create a gallery of closeups There were issues with the TDK Trilogy, particularly with the TDK single lenti, and with the Prestige, Blufans has produced more of the same. The one click box has glue on the outside that, so far at least, I haven't been able to get off. the Single and Double-Lentis have multiple scratches and what can best be described as dirt swirls/patches. But unlike most dust or dirt, you can't wipe it off. That could have been avoided if Blufans put a plastic wrap on their Lentis like WeET. Or like WeET (and I've heard multiple stories of this) have someone check every slip for quality. I open my premiums as I enjoy them more when I do. I don't expect flawlessness, as sometimes things happen, but I'm not having these issues with WeET, Manta Lab, or UHD Club. All it would take to alleviate most of these issues would be a little more care in inspecting the product. #Teamopenitup
  15. My concern is not only the price but also with their track record of releasing their releases. It's seems like every month or two Raro has a pre order up. Heck, I ordered Goodfellas eons ago and have not heard or seen a peep about it since. @Gary KI'm probably wrong, but to my knowledge, was the last item they shipped the A Nightmare on Elm Street boxset?
  16. The Lord of the Rings trilogy by UHD Club. Thanks to @Masterblasterand the crew for the group buy of this beautiful release. The beauty of this speaks for itself. This is the best looking wood boxes that UHD Club have made, even beating out BR 2049 IMO. There are not a ton of extras in each set but the ones that are there are high quality, especially the MP exclusive card/cell(is that what they are called?). The only weakness of this set is the two posters you get for each movie (not pictured) and the lack of any Lenticulars as extra. The posters are of a random scene, but that scene has low resolution/focus. It was just a weird choice. These are my favorite releases of 2023, narrowly beating out MAG Blade Runner 2049 and Manta Lab Inception. I am really looking forward to what they can do with the Godfather trilogy! #Teamopenitup
