This is super cool. Such a modern classic too. A shame they seem to be sold out already. I definitely would have gotten one. Congrats on snagging it!

Just gave this a watch. Super helpful. Thanks dude!

I'll probably pick this one up when it hits Amazon.de. It's a solid watch. Derivative as hell, but entertaining and overtly gory.

Welcome! Gotta love those Best Buy steelbooks! I'm jealous of that Memento release from Kimchi. I just recently ordered my first film from them (Let the Right One In steelbook/lenticular), but I haven't actually gotten or seen it yet. Their releases look top notch though. Enjoy the company around here. I'm new too, but everyone has been insanely cool thus far.

Interested to see what you thought @pygospa. This one is definitely on the more “extreme” end of things and wouldn’t be a recommendation from me for most people. But if you’re into morbid indie, envelope-pushing stuff, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE is hard to top within the last few years. Killer effects on the creatures, but the sexual elements will be a bit much for most. Viewer beware!

Thanks! @RAK was kind enough to give me a MAJOR crash course yesterday, so I actually got one ordered! 🤞 Everyone here has been insanely kind so far. I didn’t know this sort of community was still possible on the internet haha. I love it.

Gotcha. So what’s the best practice for snagging a movie like this (Better Watch Out) or any other movie that pops up on the forum but doesn’t end up with a group buy scenario? Feel free to DM me the answer so I can stop hijacking, but it seems like there was at least one other person in this thread looking for the same info regarding this film. I’m looking to pay and be a premium member, but I want to make sure there is some sort of benefit for the type of titles I’m interested in—such as these smaller run genre releases. I see lots of posts on upcoming or previously released Mediabooks, Steelbooks, etc., but not a ton of info on how to get it other than a direct link to the source which usually doesn’t ship to the U.S.. You’ve definitely helped me in gaining a better understanding of the Group Buy situation, so thanks! Just looking for the other side of the coin now.

Searching for some clarification here. I visited the thread you linked to, and I see the green banner that is mentioned in all of the tutorial posts and such. Clicking on that link opens the form to input the desired title. That said, when I click on the “GERMANY RELEASE THREADS HERE“ hyperlink, I’m taken to a few pages of threads for releases. The release in this thread, Better Watch Out, is not listed in those three pages of releases. Does that mean it was never available to buy in a GB scenario? Am I just not looking in the right place. Sorry again. Obviously new here, and there’s a lot to learn haha.

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I’m a newbie and am looking for some context/direction. I’ve been on the lookout for this particular release for a few weeks, but I’m not able to order it from anywhere that ships to the U.S.. What is the standard practice around here when it comes to securing things like this? There is a recent Get Out release that I’m in the same boat with. Are these “group buy” scenarios? Have I already missed the boat unless it pops up on eBay? Is there a place where we share upcoming MBs to see if anyone is up for ordering? Sorry if this is a silly question. I promise I’ve read a ton of introductory threads up to this point haha.

Thanks, @Veum! My wallet is ready haha I also plan on becoming a premium member, so I have some searching and reading to do around that to fully understand how it works. But sounds like I’m going to want that highest tier. Maybe. Hopefully there are enough weirdos like me that want to get in on some limited horror releases.

Hello, everyone! I recently (like last night) discovered the concept of GBs and signed up to join your wonderful group shortly thereafter. First of all, what an awesome idea! It takes an incredible amount of effort and organization to pull something like this off, and it appears that you've all been killing it for years. Bravo. A little about myself: I run a relatively successful Horror publication that sees north of 2 million visits a month. Humble brag, but I'm proud of it. Let me know if you wanna know more! I'm in my mid-30s, married, and have a 7 month old daughter that demands a lot of our free time. I'm an avid home theater junkie. I'm not a Reddit showroom kind of guy, but I'm proud of my setup. I'll include a little image if I can. I recently crowdfunded my first feature film. We are currently shooting after privately raising over $20k from our readers and listeners. Hopefully we have a cool collector's edition down the road that nerds like us will obsess over buying After selling my entire physical collection a few years ago for next to nothing, I was introduced to German Mediabooks by a friend of mine. Being an indie horror fan at my core, I was amazed to learn how many low-budget genre releases get impressive physical releases overseas. This has turned into an obsession in recent weeks--tracking down and ordering as many as I can. Over the last 3 or 4 weeks, I've probably ordered close to 30 mediabooks. This quickly led to finding a few high priced lenticular releases on eBay. After scoring a few for WAY more than I'd like to admit, I started looking into how I could get these straight from the source without padding some eBay seller's pockets along the way (sorry if that's you haha). Anyhoo--that's where you all come in. I'm obviously interested in joining future group buys, but I'm just as eager to make some new friends. It's 2021, I work from home, and I'm quarantined constantly with a 7 month old. At this point, all of my friends are online friends and I'm ready to make some more! Thanks for the warm welcome, psychos.

Thanks, everyone! I’ll be sure to introduce myself properly in a bit, but thanks for the warm welcome! I’m relatively new to collecting films, but I feel like I made a major breakthrough (or a horrible mistake 😂) by discovering you all late last night. ... this is gonna be awesome
