It's been pretty busy here at the end of the year... Taking me a couple days between receiving the new stuff to showing it off!

  But here I am, with a couple new installments from Best Buy...

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

House of Dragon Season 1

  Here they are still all sealed up:

First up in detail, Pirates, argh!  I know this might not be the best installment in the series...(to be honest, I haven't even seen it yet!)  but the Steel is pretty nice, Good embossing on the front.

Front/Back:

Inner with Discs:

And without:  (It's always nice to have some artwork on the inside...)

And now, House of Dragon Season 1 (Which I have also not yet watched... Debating on rewatching GOT again first to get in the "mode") :

Front/Back:

Inner With Discs (Nice that it comes with Blu-Ray too):

And without Discs (again, nice to have art work):

  I look forward to watching both of these, and adding these good looking steels to my shelf!

Happy Holidays! 

Welcome @TheSpideyWeb!

  I have only been on MP for a relatively short time, but in that short time I have found everyone here to be friendly and helpful.   This is definitely at least a daily browsing stop, if not many times a day just to see what's happening.

  I may not be the "go to" for questions about the site, but feel free to say hi any time or ask any questions about things I may post.

Enjoy!

Some good Stuff from the last couple days... special thanks to the MP team for making The Suicide Squad happen! 🎉

Very nice additions!  I was on the fence regarding the Top Gun Collection, but now that I saw what is included, I just placed an order. Not sure whether to thank or curse you 😉. 

I know exactly what you mean… I’ve been trying to cut back lately too… but the siren song of overspending on toys for adults  just keeps playing! 😂🤣

I always appreciate you being an opener, like myself.  
 

Are both dog tags Maverick’s?  Thanks Or is the other one Goose’s?   

Thanks!

  They’re just Maverick’s… the flip side of what you see is blank on both…  so what you see is what they are 👍🏼

Hi Everyone! 👋

  I have been away for a little bit... very busy with work, holiday setup, Wife's B-Day and was even sick a few days in there... but thankfully that hasn't stopped the deliveries from coming!

 

  With that said... on to the goods!

 

Hmmm... somehow I am ending up with extra pictures at the end of my post... I'm sure it's something I'm doing... I even edited it, removed them and saved again.. yet they are still there... ah well, sorry about that!

First Up, the Classic Pulp Fiction:

  A good looking Steel, I do like the bright red.  Looking forward to watching this again in all it's 4K glory!

Next, Thanks to Everyone at MP, I present The Scorpion King:

  I really do like the look and quality of the outer box.  The Cards and Book are all good looking as well, nice quality.  The Lenticular is more of a "3-D" style, not really a changing image, but it looks good as well.

Sealed Box:

Open Box Front/Back:

Slipcover Front/Back:

Steel Front/Back:

Steel Inner:

Book Front/Back:

Poster:

Collector Cards:

Production Images:

And Finally... Just arrived today... the Top Gun 2 Movie Set from Best Buy:

  Not a bad looking collection of goodies.  I am double dipping these movies, have both in their standalone Steelbooks as well.  But these are a very nice addition for sure!

Outer Box:

Inner Layer 1 (Showing Steel Fronts):

Steel Backs:

Steel Inners (no images on interior, little bit of a let down):

Inner Layer 2:

Some Swag (Coasters, Dog Tags, Key Ring):

Some nice glossy "Photos" (that do have a nice authentic feel), as well as some Magnets:

  Last but not least... My new favorite decoration!  Thanks so much @Masterblaster!

  Hopefully I can keep caught up now... need to see if there are any GB's I'm missing out on!

Halo has a tv show? That's wild. Next year Jeff Bezos will bring a live action Zelda show on Prime. 

Yep... I liked it... I think over all it was mixed reviews, but everyone is entitled to their opinions for sure 👍 I didn't know that about Zelda... very cool!

Not sure if all will agree, but I have been excited to get this 👍

Pet Sematary FAC XL fullslip came in today. The real question is - how screwed am I? 😳

 

The kitty red eye in the background is just too much 🤣😂

New Entry

 

Captain America The Winter Soldier Kimchidvd Full Slip

 

Was looking for this Full Slip more because of the Black Widow back Artwork 😂😁

 

  Love It, Agree with your Flawless logic and want one for myself! 😉   Where did you score this?  E-Bay?

Just a couple recent Best Buy gets...  It would be nice if they had Mean Girls in 4K for this nice Steelbook, but it's just too good to pass up.  I have seen it on here from others many times and finally broke down.  Pet Sematary is just a classic... 👍

I open all my premiums but I did a lazy job on Avengers: Age of Ultron from WeET. I didn't open the whole thing, posted a few pics, and then kinda forgot about it until this week. Opening this up made me sad I didn't buy WeET Into the Spider Verse. This release was already a favorite in my collection, but it might just be top 3 right now (Blade Runner /Blade Runner 2049 from UHD Club are my top 2). Thanks to @Masterblaster and crew once again for the group buy and safe, fast shipping!

So inspired by my photo dump of the Batman yesterday, here is my Age of Ultron unboxing! #Teamopenitup 

 

Those look great!  I do really love the WeET collections 👍🏼

Wow! That is a fantastic set-up! Love the blackout dividers (gonna have to remember this idea whenever we're finally able to do our basement). So damn cool! Great home theater, man!

Thanks!  Yeah, I had multiple ideas (curtains, plywood 🤣😂)  But these really worked out great.  They weren’t exactly “cheap” but reasonable.  And it was great to be able to order custom lengths 👍🏼

Hey All!

  So I have been wanting to get my pictures ready and post to this thread for awhile, but just hadn't got around to it.   Finally got my ducks in a row and here I am with my Basement Setup:

It's the basic setup, 65" TV, surround sound, big couch, here is a shot with it off:

With it on.  Note the Active Backlighting on the TV and the Post LED's  (This TCL is great for Gaming!):

ON the other side of the basement... the Gym 😉

But Wait... What's happening?  Are those Blackout Dividers?

Where is that Screen coming from?

I's getting real now!

Finally, it's starting to look like a theater!

Power on the Series X:

And now we are down to business!

Just an extra shot looking back at the rear of the room:

Hope you enjoyed my setup... I know I definitely do!   It's something I always wanted, and it only took me until I was about 50 to get it!
