My next guess was going to be Dr. No, but then you mentioned from a pre-title sequence. Don't think Dr. No has a pretitle sequence.  Either way might as well get it crossed off the list.  Very nice entry.  Trying to remember something like this in pre-title sequences.  I haven't given up yet.  Dr. No?

Unfortunate News. Postponed to 2023. 😬 

Little doubt when the decision was made to switch the 2nd edition to the 4k steelbook that this would need to be pushed back.  Has the design for the 4k steelbook even been released yet?

On Sunday mornings the Psychos are usually not very active.

 

Possibilities:

 

1) They sleep very late.

2) Saturday's hangover.

3) Family commitments trying to pretend publicly that what interests them most are not some "weird" editions in physical format...

4) Sometimes it's healthy to disconnect.

5) They are asking for money at the door of the church in order to finance the next GB.

6) It's when they can enjoy the editions that arrived during the week, and forget about everything else.

7) Dude, don't joke about Sunday.

8 ) They succeed yesterday night..., and at this time they still haven't managed to get him/her to leave... so they can enjoy ordering their editions again and connect to the community.

9) They work on the weekend. But don't feel sorry, what they charge for working today will finance those GBs that you will watch from afar.

10) Today they have to cook. And prepare the table. And scrub. And surely there are some unexpected visitors. And they will have to prepare the table again. And clean and scrub. Help. Free Willy!

 

Let's go, bet your life!  

11) In mourning after your football team just lost their 16th straight game in a row to the same team.

Amazon careless shipping strikes again.  Sorry to see that.

Look what came in the mail yesterday from Zavvi @Boilersteel!!  My USPS carrier was driving an Aston Martin, and I thought, aaaaaaahhhhh, I know what that is.

 

Won't have a chance today to open, but will get to it tomorrow during the football games.  I'll respond to your informative post above after I take a look at these.

 

I'm curious if I will find some of the same issues you describe.

 

Please also let me know how Zavvi protected these during shipment.  They used to send everything individually in cardboard mailers.  Recently they have combined things in boxes.  I know FNAC just lumps them all in the same box with no protection.  Interested to see if Zavvi is different.

My The Godfather Part II steelbook has arrived from Amazon and it's doing this popping sound. I have a vague memory of this happening to me in the past and it represented a form of damage behind the j-card. The other two steelbooks from the Trilogy are not doing this. Anyone here have experience with similar possible damage? I don't want to crack it open as I probably won't be able to return/refund.

 

 

 

 

 

I think this has happened to me twice, and each time I said what the heck and opened it to see what was causing the pop sounds.  Ended up regretting it as it was due to the back being dented in.  I would probably return it, as there is a good chance it is damaged under that j card.

Manta Lab not giving up yet on the trinkets.  I like the Matrix Resurrections cat.  Interested to see what the Dune ones look like.  This one is interesting, haven't made up my mind what I think about it, but definitely in for the OC.

Does anyone have an idea of the size protector needed for this release?

MPC-FS-2.60 are the ones that are linked to this group buy and each of the 3 editions should fit in that size case.  This is similar to SCF4 and CiF4 cases, so those should fit as well.

Here is the link on sizes.

Came in today! Thanks to @Masterblaster and the crew for this beautiful one click, my first Manta Lab one click since Fight Club! I have to say the Single Lenti is my favorite. 

 

Your pics are gorgeous. 😍   Mine arrived today as well.  Thanks @Masterblaster for the extremely safe packaging and for all of your hard work in getting these shipped out.  Absolutely love the steelbook with the design, gloss, and embossing.  Manta Lab knocked it out of the park!

What can it mean 😱

Are you referring to the HDZ LOTR bill, that sounds like it could be pretty evil for all the Psychos, it definitely could be scary. Could be deadly as well once the wife finds out. 😆

You’re obviously in the right place !

Agree with @Gary K, this is the place to be.  Make sure you have notifications on and be quick.  Usually after a fellow Psycho posts the instock alert they don't last long.  That being said this release is still a ways away, so there will likely be additional restocks of all the editions at some time on the CM website.  They just won't last long.  The MP groupbuy sometimes gets opened again as well if additonal stock is secured, but you just never know if that will happen.

My reputation is worse here than anywhere else in the world.    How far can I go down in reputation?  Is there an award for -100 reputation?

 

I can do it, I know I can . . .

 

 

 

 

. . . or maybe I should just hide out for a while.

 

 

Yikes, how does that even happen.  Not even sure what causes positive or negative points for reputation.  While you were relaxing, I was stuck at work too busy to even check any Media Psychos updates.  I think if you post more pics of rest and relaxation you might be able to hit that -100 reputation 😆

Where can I find this?

 

It was on the Cinemuseum website, just google Cinemuseum and you will find it.  Need to create an account and everything, but it is sold out now. They sometimes come back in stock every once in awhile.  Usually other Psychos post on these when they come back in stock as well, so keep an eye on the release threads for those posts.  Unfortunately, you need to be quick as they sell out pretty fast once instock.

Full slip back in stock.  Good luck if interested.

I am still not giving up on my thought that it is a Roger Moore movie (hope I am not wrong as Roger Moore cerainly has a lot of Bond movies).  For Your Eyes Only?

Hmmmmmmmmm . . . not promising.  Thanks for taking the time to give your thoughts.

 

I ordered the 10 available from Zavvi.  Should be here next week.  I'll post a similar pic and look to see if everything is as you describe with mine.

 

Now, the other 7 that seem to be in this style, on Zavvi they're listed as sold out, or have they not been released yet?

 

They are :

 

From Russia With Love

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Casino Royale

Diamonds Are Forever

You Only Live Twice

Thunderball

Goldfinger

 

It's difficult to know for sure if the Zavvi Skyfall and Quantum of Solace are meant to go with these.  Thoughts?

Hopefully mine were just a bad batch with all those hairline scratches and you will have better luck as far as imperfections. Due to Best Buy my standards are low for economy steels, so I can live with these.

Thunderball, YOLT, DAF, OHMSS, For Your Eyes Only, CR, QOS, Skyfall, and Spectre were Best Buy and Zavvi steelbooks released in 2015 around the time Spectre was released.  I have never personally seen the UK ones but they are supposed to be full gloss just like the Best Buy ones.  All are out of stock and have been for years.  Ebay is probably the best place to look for these.  They are full gloss and from Best Buy so most have some kind of dings or dents but mor all.  The Zavvi ones were probably in better shape, but I have never seen many available on Ebay, so Best Buy ones would be easier to obtain.  They don't usually sell for very high on Ebay.

The Zavvi Skyfall with the Aston Martin is a separate release, and amazingly it says it is still available on Cede.com for 18.99 euros, otherwise that can be bought cheap on Ebay as well.  Cede.com doesn't charge for shipping and they ship in cardboard mailers like Zavvi used to do that usually arrive safe. 

The Goldfinger also a separate release is also still available from Cede.com (either the Italian or the French version, looks like they have small differences).  There is also an older 50th anniversary one from Zavvi and Japan that is embossed and has the whole steelbook in gold.  Although the front and back artwork on that edition are exactly the same.  That can be found on Ebay, but would cost more than the CeDe.com ones.

The Goldeneye steelbook was a Play.com one and is phenomenal.  Every once in awhile they pop up on Ebay and sometimes are reasonably priced.  Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Just arrived today from dvd-store.it.  These are the Italian ones, but should be same finish and everything so will post pics here.  Have to say that whatever supplier put these steelbooks together put as much effort into it as MGM with the designs.  Almost every single one has a fine scratch on the back upper right area in the about the same spot.  The finish is streaky matte and multiple ones have additional paint spots where it streaked even more.  Multiple also have hairline scratches to the front artwork, with some having other scratches on the front causing the paint to be removed at spots.  Best to not look at these under a bright light, as it might not be pretty.

On the bright side, from far away and in plastic cases the fronts don't looks that bad.  I won't mention the back artwork.

Not sure how I feel about it.

 

Can’t really understand the €25 jump for 4K assuming a standard Steelbook was already going to be in the edition.  Don’t see the new steel costing them €25 more than the other one unless they were getting them essentially for nothing!

Awesome news.  Wonder what the artwork will end up being for the 4 k steelbook.  Will keep a close eye on this release thread, as this release looks fantastic.

I think even with the full pic I would be stumped.  Seems like it should be from a Roger Moore Bond movie.  The Spy Who Loved Me?

That is correct.  This is from the explosion of the St. Georges right after the opening song in For Your Eyes Only.  Very nice!
