Just FYI for everyone, Shipping has started! Just got my shipping confirmation. I ordered the PET full slip directly from them, shipped to the US.

As @boostedmedia says, all 4K discs are Region Free. 

Thanks for this information @45Caliber

That one click looks awesome but my wallet reminds me that just the PET Full Slip might be the more wise choice ? wish 4K was in it but most likely will pick it up as I have no other premium of it and that movie is just awesome

Manta’s latest Facebook posts indicate preorders for next week and slightly increased prices.

@ksosk @45CaliberThanks! I was looking for that, but for some reason couldn’t find it. Sorry guys

@45Caliber Another question that I just realized I have after browsing through the threads and premium steel retailers. What does WEA and WWE stand for? Google doesn’t seem to have any good answers.

@DodgyDaveThanks! Good to know. I’ll stay with direct shipping then for now. Maybe I’ll try the hub down the road sometime.

also I forgot to shoutout @Sicksol for recommending this community here to me in the first place. Thank you for letting me know!

Welcome @cc112. I grew up in the Boston area myself. HUB is not cheaper because there is a shipping charge from the retailer to the HUB and a second from the HUB to you. HUB is mostly beneficial to those that may get hit with customs charges as they tend to be more costly to individuals. HUB can also sometimes circumvent problems with damaged items and sometimes bundle shipments that would otherwise be more costly to ship individually. When a direct option is available, it will be cheaper and it will be faster, but is not always the best choice for everyone for the reasons mentioned above. If you intend to participate in Group Buys, it's imperative that you read the Group Buy rules that explain more fully. In particular, you'll want to note that we are having to newly institute a deposit for new members until they've successfully completed 3 Group Buys. More details are in the rules linked above. 

 

Welcome again and I hope you enjoy the forums.

Thanks for that explanation! Yeah I saw the rules and the newly added modification, just didn't understand the hub concepts and it's benefits.

Is customs usually an issue from Hong Kong (mantalabs) into the US?

hi guys sorry to bother but could somebody explain what the difference (especially in price) is between hub shipping and direct shipping? I never participated in a GB before and am looking forward for the mantalab justice league one Is hub always cheaper but just takes a little longer?

Thanks for the great welcome!
