    Wanted to share this here as I just found it weird but worth noting.  This was something I have noticed about recent purchasing from Zavvi.

     

    FYI something changed with the Zavvi website recently and for some reason the US site prices are much higher than the UK site ones in pounds (even after currency conversion).  Change Region and Language to United Kingdom, but even with that it gives the elevated price if you use US dollars or Euros, so in addition to that above you need to change currencies to pounds GBP, and then finally that will get you the reduced price.  Then hopefully find a credit card that doesn't charge conversion fees.

     

    This is a new hoop to jump through with Zavvi that could cost you a lot of money, so just be aware of this weird issue.

     

    Note this doesn't hold true for all items, so it is best to look at each item individually with the different regions and currencies to find the best prices. It definitely seems like the case for the MCU mondo steelbooks, The Fifth Element, Monsterverse collection, and Matrix collection steelbooks.

    Thank you for the heads up!

     

    22 days until Christmas!

    There is Gatchaman Battle of the Planets on Blu-ray?

    Yup, but it is OOP, it came out in 2013 and has all 105 Episodes and OVAs.

    My heartfelt Gratz on your arrival of the JK: 0 set @LeGonze🥳

    Very happy to see they "planked" it for ya as well! (cello-wrapped to a cardboard insert in box).

    I forgot to order one (crazy busy with work from home stuff).

    I'll do a search tomorrow, early and see what I can do.  😱

    I do hope it arrived unscathed? In the pics it looks great!

    Cheers Buddy!

     

    p.s. @nathan_s82, keep us posted on your purchase of it, if you please good Buddy! 🙂

    My set is in limbo somewhere, so maybe it arrives some day. Amazon Japan refunded me since it was lost.

     

    I'm doing a giveaway for a copy of Macross Delta Absolute Live on my YouTube Channel as well!

    WHAT WOULD YOU DO . . . .

     

    I found an eBay seller who was legit.

    All steels 50%.

    Black Friday deal 10% off of that.

    $10 off on orders over $100.

    With free shipping.

     

    So, I started buying in batches of $100

     

    The next day, I had buyers remorse.  I only really wanted about 1/3 of the titles.  The sale and the $100 challenge weakened me.

     

    I emailed, canceled many of these orders.  They do it. Refund given, it shows up as cleared and cancelled.

     

    This morning I get shipping notice for ALL the orders, even the ones I cancelled.

     

    Easy answer - email them, let them know about the mistake, return the one's I cancelled . . . and that's what I did.

     

    But, curious if anyone has had something like this happen.  Any interesting twists or turns?  Any freebie stories worth sharing?

    I've had that happen before, and l just contact them and let them know what happened. I always send it back, unless they tell me to keep it. If it's a keeper, I give it away to someone else to help them out.

     

    Happy Wednesday All!

  5. My wife and I have been binging the Manifest series on Netflix (almost done with Season 3). Granted Seasons 1-3 were done by NBC, and Season 4-onwards by Netflix, so I'm waiting to see how Netflix does their Season 4.

     

    @Reagh, I liked the Great Gatsby as well, but it could have been better in places. @Gary K, this is an instance where I like the music more than the movie, sadly.

    Some new arrivals . . . 

     

    MONDO MARVEL STEELBOOKS (in random order)

     

    @Tonic24k and @Boilersteel sent me on the Mondo Marvel quest months ago, it seems longer than that. 

    Finally got the last one to complete the current 15 that have been released.  Looking forward to the next five. 

     

    Next quest . . . WeEt Marvel (not as hard to find as I first thought, see them around at reasonable prices)

     

    My favs of this series are easily Winter Soldier and Thor.

    My least fav is The Avengers.

     

    All are German but Thor: Dark World, which is French.  

    (Dark World was apparently changed to Dark Kingdom for the German release because Dark World was a movie that had some copyright issues in Germany.  I had two sources on this, but someone correct me if this is wrong and you are confident in your source.  There was also some speculation that Dark World has some Third Reich connotations.)

    BLUFANS THE SCORPION KING 4K Single Lenticular

     

    Thanks to @extantsrevenge and @cypheria078 for a super easy GB.

    (and yes, after therapy, I've forgiven you both for Green Mile) 😉

    • MAG MPM #02 THE AGE OF INNOCENCE 3 Sided Lenticular

     

    Thanks @Reagh and @Gary K for bringing this one to my attention.

    Got super lucky, one day it just appeared on my ebay saved searches, and snagged it.

     

    I didn't photograph the spine, because it's so hard to capture, but the lenti on the spine and the depth is pretty amazing.  It makes me wish more releases had a spine lenti.

     

    I think the thing that makes these front and back lentis so special, and so unusual, is that it is a sparse landscape, off in the distance.  So many lentis are character or object based, very close and more dramatic.  The depth this lenti creates is not 5-30 feet from you like many, it's 100-500 yards from you.  It's not dramatic in any striking visual way, it's subtly beautiful, it creates a mood and a tone, but doesn't depend on action.  I very much enjoy this one.

     

    #38 out of 45 world wide.  (although there appear to be another 50 numbered 1-50 for China release only, or so I've read.  Someone in China also has #38 :).)
