Just being realistic. Mob movies rarely, if ever, get any Premium love and I don't expect that to change. Hope I'm proven wrong.

I mean, The Dark Knight is kind of a mob movie!…with a man in a Bat costume…and a sociopathic clown who murders mobsters and civilians alike…I mean I’d put it right up there with Goodfellas and Godfather. 😝

@damships did you order either one of these? 🧐 

 

I ordered the latter! 

 

 

SAME!!! Had to go for those portraits and extra book man! 😂 I can’t wait for it! I’m also seeing the Dolby Cinema screening for The Godfather at the end of the month!

Thanks very much @Masterblaster!! Got my end of year sale items, been wanting this copy of Blade Runner 2049 for a while now and so glad I finally went for it! The Incredible Hulk steel is way nicer in hand than I thought it would be!

Beautiful!!! They look awesome. That Blade Runner though! 😍

There’s gotta be a Godfather premium this year! I’m saving with the hopes that it happens 

The Godfather trilogy are my other favorite films ever made. My mind would literally explode if they could do something for it. 

This was the worst time for me to start the hobby. All releases of my favorite films ever. 😂 If Godfather had another premium I’d be totally screwed. I’ll just watch my wallet hate me more and more, slowly, as the hatred sinks into me and I enter the dark abyss of brokenness.

An appetizer arrived while my WeEt set is in transit.  Zavvi will never be confused for a premium, but this is a very nice looking box.

I think the films are mediocre, but the artwork on these things is just freaking awesome! Beautiful!

The stand is just a basic plastic one. The pin in front is from Zavvi

Gotcha! Thanks! I didn’t know it was a pin in front. I’m going to need stands soon for my Nolan display!

Was finally able to get the last one I needed to have all 3. Now time to wait for Manta Lab and FilmArena's release.

 

 

Gorgeous steelbook! Where did you get that awesome stand? 😅

I opened these up today: Spider-Man: Homecoming (Blufans Double-Lenti 4k) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (FAC Single-Lenti 4K/3D). I was shocked when the Blufans didn't have a 3D Bluray/Blu-ray as it said it was supposed. After digging, found out that the 4k only version was the way it was in the one-click. When sold separately it included the other two discs.

 

 

Freaking gorgeous. Homecoming looks awesome!

It is one of the best films I have seen in 2021. Incredible staging, a magnificent soundtrack and an impeccable cast. Just a pity that the end is not of the same level as the first hour. Mandatory purchase for me

Agreed. Ending isn’t on par with the rest of the film, but it’s still awesome! I bought it but haven’t had time to pop it in and watch it. Heard the HDR is great!

I don't collect funko pops myself but these are very cool! Very special to have it signed by Margot Robbie!

 

This reminded me of the Arkham Asylum/City video games and how I really need to replay them, they're some of my favourites. @damships Have you played them?

Yes! I love the Arkham games with a passion. I've played through each one 3 times. 😅 I'm a huge Batman fanatic! 

I've stopped collecting POPS for the time being, but these are grails I'll hold on to for a while. 

This film left such a profound impact on me in ways that can be difficult to explain. It was an odd culmination of so many different factors that led to me falling in love with this film. 

Firstly, I was already a huge Batman fanatic since youth (toys, comics, television shows, movies). Secondly, I had already had a gravitation towards Nolan after having seen Insomnia at 14 years old. That film, for some odd reason, was something I watched repeatedly. Thirdly, it was my first experience in a legitimate IMAX cinema (15/70) on film. Finally, as I'm sure others experienced, Ledger's performance (along with everyone else's) just knocked it out of the park. All of this came together into this incredible experience that really left an impression on me. I went to see it about four times when it was out in cinemas.

Twelve years later, I get a Bale/Ledger Batman/Joker tattoo to commemorate! It may not be Nolan's top film from a critical perspective, but I hold it to the highest esteem. Thank you Mr. Nolan!

Well this sounds awfully familiar!

 

I started with steelbooks from zavvi, promised myself I was just gonna get my top 20 favorite movies or so and only in 4k. Didnt really go according to plan...

 

I even wrote a piece documenting how it all went downhill. Good luck! I'll check back on you in about a year to see how you're doing . May the force be with you!

 

 

 

 

Damn! I keep hearing the same thing. My wife is definitely gonna kill me if I fall down the rabbit hole. 

You guys are all awesome...but you're also all enablers. 😝

I started out saying that as well! 🤣

 

You start out with singles and before you know it you want OCs more and more. Advanced signs of the syndrome are multiple OCs (2x or 3x) and collectors numbers! 🤪 

 

 

 

 

That's what everyone keeps telling me! lmao. But my wife and I are saving for a house this year, so that's a good motivator lol.

Not necessarily, you're just going to have to ask while requesting it. After that it's a matter of playing go fish

 

Definitely sounds like a fishing situation lol. Thanks I'm going to look into it.

Have you checked out last year's sale, there still some good editions left.

Wow, thanks! Looking into it. So that spread sheet is up to date with available titles?

I'm new to this hobby, but I really only plan on buying premiums for my absolute favorite films. Pretty much all the Nolan films and perhaps some other sci-fi classics I hold to high esteem. I'm more than willing to pay a reasonable extra amount for these via eBay, Mercari, Discord, etc. That's just the reality of the situation.

I'm still going to try as a Regular member, but if it's something you're passionate about I think it's good to set an expectation of just getting it via third party. If you're going in thinking you're absolutely getting it, there's only room for disappointment. 

I can see though if you're collecting like EVERYTHING, then it would be stressful as all hell.

Honestly the holofoil on this is nicer than I expected. I’m actually starting to like SM Life releases. I really wish they’d go back and do some older MCU movies now. 
 

Wow!!! That looks incredible!

Picked this up a while back. What an incredibly beautiful set. Definitely up there with the best I own, and another great edition from UHD Club! Thanks to @Masterblaster and the staff for getting this to me safe and sound!

 

 

I need this in my life. In reality and in my dreams.
