    For your reference, the OC of this edition is the same box (and quality) as used for Scarface (see the video below) and comes with a film cell.

     

    While I haven't seen it in hand, the Scarface Box seems to be getting better feedback from customers in Europe who have received.

    Well, I just signed-up for a one-click—this is a leap of faith that the quality will improve. Though I was satisfied with my one-click of Nightmare On Elm Street, it definitely was priced high for what you get.
     

    Nonetheless, here I am again jumping on this Jaws/Jaws 2 OC….I hope shipping doesn’t kill too much because the base price is high at €329.

    I did so too 😄. I do have the Kimchidvd Editions, but I wanted to test out the retailer and international shipping was so low 😊

     

    I have noticed them with this for the first time too. I think it is the first exclusive Steelbook Edition from them.


    Same with me, I ordered a few other things along with Memento.  Shipping to the USA averaged about £3.5 per item (for 5 items).

    So I’ve been thinking lately about my collection and which features of a premium release are most important to me.  
     

    For me it probably would be the title itself, high quality original and creative package design and original exclusive artwork for the steels (or MP Case).  
     

    Im curious what’s most important to you guys?  


    Besides being a movie I at least like a lot, when I buy a premium edition I’d prefer to have essays, press photos, behind the scenes stuff included in a booklet, like Arrow, Indicator, Criterion, and other boutique labels do.
     

    I’ve voiced this frustration before, but It seems *some* companies just put in a handful of character cards, some postcards, and maybe a photo book (the latter is my pet peeve, it’s a lazy move to me). I’d rather have some essays and more “substance” over “style” (though the outer box should be beautiful). Whether a release includes an amaray case instead of a steelbook doesn’t bother me so much. 

     

    Also, for one-click boxes, I vastly prefer the HDZETA, Blufans, Filmarena Maniacs model of including vastly different printed items within each individual edition. For example the Aliens and Blade Runner 2049 Maniacs boxes do just that; each individual edition in a one-click has different stuff in each included edition. 
     

    Some companies don’t do that, which is my main gripe with Manta Lab: all of the editions included in a one-click have identical printed items in each one. The OC boxes, lenticular, fullslips and steelbooks are all unquestionably some of the highest quality currently being released, but the included stuff is identical and redundant.

    I’m a sealed collector so it’ll be staying sealed.
     

    The FS which you see in the picture I had bought last year or the year before? 


    Indeed, now, I see you just displayed the single full slip along with some other editions. Having opened mine and pawed through it, however, I can tell you it was worth opening and enjoying! I figure it will still have good retail value when I have to sell it to move into a nursing home 😜…
