@Reagh, great to see you again.

 

 

The Number you see is the reaction points you have available. Regular members have a limited of 50 per day.

Well you do work here... Alright I believe you Nils! 

Ordered the What's in the Box version from Amazon UK. Fincher is probably my favorite director of all-time. Glad to see this classic getting the 4k treatment!

What is this and why do I have 37 of them?

 

I may be mistaken, but I believe this is the amount of overdue Group Buy payments that you may have. 

Happy to see you back on here! 

Lots of stuff from Best Buy:

Today's deliveries.

was listening to a podcast last night and apparently the studio didn't put out enough disc but will put out more due to the demand. no clarification on if that means more steelbooks but yeah I was pissed when I missed out on this. even some of the best buy employees I chat with when I go to my local spot were saying best buy really needs to put a limit on how many one could buy because they are selling for $100 plus on ebay now.

Even the standard release was out of stock for awhile. But I managed to order one Saturday afternoon from Best Buy. And now it's sold out again.

It's been 7 months since I joined the group buy for Goodfellas and I haven't seen or heard anything about that since. Hopefully Raro releases that before this. 

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse from WeET. Thanks to @Masterblasterand crew for the group buy and safe and fast shipping! Nice set. One of the WWA Steelbooks looks like the one I got from Best Buy but is a more brighter, saturated version. I looking forward to what they may have in store for their WEA set, if they so choose to make one. As you can tell by the last picture, I'm a huge fan of this series. Can't wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse! #Teamopenitup #whatruafraidof?tearthedamnplastic!

And the other one

 

So it looks as though the "B" versions will all have extended editions printed on the box, but not the "A"versions, which is a good thing for me because I ordered the A set. However, does this mean the extended edition won't be included in the A sets, just the theatrical cuts?

How old is the HDZeta set?

It came out in early 2019, at least TDK did. Thats when members started posting pictures. You can still view the threads for each release under HDZeta release topics. 

My Platinum card. Pictures really don't do it justice!

This week's deliveries. Thanks to @Masterblaster and crew for Top Gun, John Wick 4, Dune, and Enter the Dragon.

i have an empty motherbox and the HDZeta ones are still tough to find on eBay i feel. I don't check often tbh tho

I don't check as much as I used to, but even in the last few weeks I have seen that set going for $1400-$1750 with motherbox included.

I’m fairly new to premium editions. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up the Manta Lab releases for each film in the trilogy. 

If you decide you can't wait for Manta and go the ebay route, there are versions from HDZeta (the grail of all TDK premiums), Blufans, and UHD Club. I have the Blufans and UHD Club ones and they are both pretty good, and not as pricey as the HDZeta version. You might want to also hit up @Masterblaster to see if he has one for sale.

Do you have any other Premium version of this trilogy? Nearly everyone has done one.

I want Mean Streets on 4K badly, but decided to wait for the Second Sight release.  You’re making me wonder if I made the right decision or not.  That Criterion package is very nice. More visually appealing than a lot of what they do.

I own almost every Criterion 4k release(there's a couple of them that I had from BFI or Studio Canal that I didn't want to buy again). While I find this better looking than the Second Sight release, IMO it's one of the worst cover arts they've utilized, mainly because of the low resolution of the image. 

This week's pickups. And as I explained a few months ago, the Manta Lab WandaVision box has enough room for one more Steelbook. Heck, it's almost like Manta knew that the whole series was going to be released or something.

I have no idea what's going on. I didn't understand the original post about Manta's FB, and nothing since has brought clarity.

The Oppenheimer Steelbooks are on Manta's original website(which doesn't work very well). . The Collectong website is Manta's official site for all their new releases.

I think both your questions are normal ones and not dumb.

 

These do not come sealed, at least Star Wars did not. None of the creator era slips come with steels. I would imagine sealing them would be an added production expense. But you could still fit a sealed steelbook into them if you’re a sealed collector.

 

They do not come with protective cases. I also don’t believe you have the option to add a protective case like you would for other group buys for BluFans, ML, etc. You can tell in the video that these slips are taller than most other premium editions so I don’t think protective cases exist.

I received a protective case for both Gladiator and Star Wars . @extantsrevenge can you verify if this release will come with one?

Looking at the reviews Best Buy really frustrated everyone with this release.  One of the biggest movies of the year and steelbook sells out in few hours on preorder and pops in stock for less than a minute on the day of release.

 

I think like Prey this will probably get restocked in next few weeks, but that's just a guess and I have been wrong before.  For now scalpers are eating it up.

I'm willing to wait, as I'm not paying scalper prices. Besides I have the Amazon UK Steelbook on the way, so I'm good for now!

I didn't realize one of them was highlighting the shoe scene. I may have to throw mine out now.  I can't watch that part.

I've read that some people have an issue with that scene. 

So here it is, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? from Cine Museum. Thanks to @Masterblasterand crew once again. Despite my dislike of Cine Museum, particularly with how they treat their customers, I have to say this is a impressive release. It is definitely high quality all the way through. The extras are very high quality, with cool little details like the cover of the photo book being different for the Lenticular and the Full Slip, and the art cards are awesome as well. Both slips are good, but the Full Slip is gorgeous. The Lenticular is crisp, but not great on depth or transition. 

Overall, you can tell that CM really put their all into the release. Everything just has a great feel to it. Was it worth the wait time? In my opinion, no, but it is high quality nonetheless. As I stated before, I don't like the disdain Carlo has shown for his customers. I have Psycho ordered, and when that gets released in 2026, I'll be done with CM.  #Teamopenitup
