Who is INJOINGAN?

Are they new?

wonder if it will have English subs

The same company produced a “The Wailing” release (probably my favorite horror movie of all time, that movie was WOW). That release has English subtitles, so I can safely trust this will as well. 
 

This was also an immediate order from me and I’m ecstatic that this is finally receiving a Steelbook!

Update: using my iPhone’s translator, the very last line on each disc reads, “Subtitles: Korean, English”

So FAC send out a longer message yesterday. Sadly Predator is still not shipping 😡. It would have been nice if everyone who paid 1 year ago would have received that money back or at least be able to use it for new orders and then simply pay for Predator again when it is happening.....

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Dear collectors,

 

we would like to inform you about current events and preparations.

 

We kindly apologize for the delay in the WONDER WOMAN 84 title due to the late delivery and subsequent complete lenticular reprint. We were not satisfied with the quality, and as we had already announced earlier, we will release the products to you when we are satisfied with them in all respects.

 

The current delivery date for lenticulars is mid-October, i.e. around 17/10 and then if everything goes well, we will proceed to complete WW84 and then move on to the next titles in order. We will update the release dates on the site in the second half of October to be more accurate than before. Unfortunately, due to delivery shifts, we were unable to plan better. We will try to improve it.

 

For the PREDATOR title, we are still waiting for the studio to finally confirm that we can start sending out the editions. Since communication is very slow or non-existent, which is also confirmed with other 20th Century Studios releases like THE LAST DUEL, they are very slow and unfortunately, this is also starting to show in the studio's reluctance to provide regular material. We dare to criticize this approach because it is retailers like Filmarena and others who have kept physical media sales afloat for a long time. And if some studios are no longer interested in these collaborations, it will be best if retailers get this information fairly and in front of their eyes. No hiding behind excuses and such. Earlier cooperation with the Fox studio was completely different than it is now, and it cannot currently be explained in any other way than the transition to the Disney studio, increased bureaucratic burden, and meaninglessly set criteria that do not correspond to specific m arket situations and customer requirements. Unfortunately, we cannot do more than this statement. How else to explain the situation when we have approved editions from an earlier time from the FOX studio, then the title goes under the DISNEY studio, which after minor corrections approve the title again, then asks to wait for the sending until it presents the PREY title and launches the Disney + channel and subsequently hardly responds to our communication. If this is an idea of future cooperation, then thank you, but we do not want to continue down this path. There are also studios where cooperation works, and we will focus on them, at least until we start to feel other signals.

 

As soon as we have any feedback from FOX/DISNEY, we will let you know. Together with the distributor, we are trying to negotiate the possibility of sending out at least separate E5 editions (steelbooks in jcards) in the first wave, but again we encounter communication that is very slow due to the strong bureaucratic apparatus at Disney.

 

We are currently not ordering more steelbooks for new titles from other studios and we are focusing on finishing work on older titles.

 

The current launch schedule for pre-orders is set as follows. Next week on Tuesday, we will launch pre-orders for the following titles:

 

FAC #167 TENET
FAC #168 UNFORGIVEN
FAC #169 F9
FAC #170 A QUIET PLACE PART II
FAC #171 GODZILLA VS KONG

 

We will present these editions to you in the coming days.

 

We will launch further pre-orders in November and now we want to continuously inform you which ones they will be.

 

At the same time, we apologize to everyone for the recent error of launching pre-orders only for the TENET title, which occurred due to our incorrect setup.

 

Finally, we have news for you regarding our own merch, which you are increasingly interested in. We have decided to prepare the first round for you, which we will present and launch as part of this round of pre-orders.

 

Thank you very much for your support and cooperation.

 

We look forward to your pre-orders.

 

Best regards,

Jan Cikanek for the FA and BB team

 

anyway the message also included a new Pre-order announcement (which I think should not happen until a few other releases have shipped).

 

They are

FAC #167 TENET
FAC #168 UNFORGIVEN
FAC #169 F9
FAC #170 A QUIET PLACE PART II
FAC #171 GODZILLA VS KONG

 

The Tenet GB is running for some time already

 

We still have copies available in UK, France and USA.

 

I guess I will open a GB for the other 4 tomorrow. So keep an eye on the GB section.

Do you know if A Quiet Place 2 will contain a WEA exclusive, or WWA?

Is you reaction to my post genuine confusion 

 

 

or was you being tongue & cheek?

 

A little confused 🥺 I understand what the pause is, but just wondering why it is paused indefinitely for certain GBs. Thank you!

Good morning (and good evening) all! When signing up, apparently I had missed the section to fill out your member tier. Will that result in any issues down the line as this GB progresses?

@Jakeb1022 and @Deity_Elysian you are now also on the Main List, congrats.

Woo that’s the best news I’ve heard all day. Thank you!

For newly announced releases, how would one best know if the Steelbook will be a WWA or a WEA?
