Totally get that. I think members who are interested in this should go for the releases they want the most, I actually don't anticipate anyone going for more than 3 editions.

 

If we reach our goal and those members requesting now are securing some position, as a Platinum member your chances are still the highest.

 

Also always the chance to sell the Forrest Gump Edition, some of the recent FA releases have reached high prices on the secondary market, so it might not be a bad deal to go for one and in return have your favorite movie secured. Many of the new FAC/Barons will be limited to 501 copies again 😳

 

But I honestly don't want to convince anyone here, simply trying something out which could resolve our dilemma.

 

this will maybe be laughed at but implementing a raffle type system for GB positions like with MP giveaways could work well with the added bonus that it's both free and fun

sometimes simple is best

I dont buy my fac from MP but looking in from the outside on this one..

 

I understand its a very difficult situation with FAC being notoriously awkward but if people don't want/fancy an edition they won't buy it. Members can't be force fed an edition they don't want just because filmarena say this is your allocation and you MUST fill it. I understand this must be quite stressful and time consuming and like you said hopefully more members jump on after beauty shots, but I know for one I pass on an edition if I really don't fancy it. Take the latest round of fac I totally passed on Shazam as hdzeta win hands down and I didn't need another shaman sitting there that I didn't want.. i hope this improves for you but sounds like to me that this whole thing isn't gonna have a happy ending. 

agree, spending more money i don't wanna spend on stuff i'm potentially not interested in to secure a place on a GB is not something i'm willing to do

Yer, I'm total over it too.....

 

😂🤣😅 

But yer that j-card.....

what were they thinking 🤦🏼‍♂️

 

 

Agreed.... Guess we'll all just have to open out boxsets then

 

Manta lab OC fits in a hdzeta OC protector 👍

 

 

Definitely mate, hope its straight after Birds Of Prey

 

 

I'm waiting on BS too bud...

 

Thinking the DL will be the one to go for imo

 

yeah for gump i'm either all in or all out until BS, knowing my luck i'll order a DL and then it'll be some artwork i'm not happy with lol

that's why i went all in on predator but that's in my top ten so worth the risk!

nice that manta OC is same size as zeta OC, OC without a protector for me is like an accident waiting to happen lmao

now off i go, back to jaws film arena hunting

Hell yer it does mate.... 👍👍👍

 

Glad they put it on the outside for us to discard if we want, and then can still leave it sealed looking pristine 👌

 

I hope the j-card on Filmarena Inception isn't a permanent new thing for all their new releases....

 

If so they need to take notes off Manta Lab here...... 😁

 

 

that's is pal, removable j cards are where it's at!

yeah inception looks bad with the j card imho, not at all disappointed i couldn't snag that one

the joker OC could have used a removable j card also, hopefully someone will tell them this lol

ready for hdzeta joker to see what they bring to the table!

also forrest gump FA sounds interesting but i don't wanna sign up for that one until i see beauty shots

Beautiful edition there @Danny lad..!

 

Loving what Manta Lab are putting out atm!

 

Their lenti’s are always top form 👌

 

Can't wait to see what they have planned with Dunkirk..... or get my hands on Once upon a time in Hollywood 

 

😁😁😁😁

yes i am looking forward to dunkirk also

thanks mate, have to admit though i threw the j card away haha, looks way better without it

was worth the wait! Beauty, well done manta

I liked "Rush" more than "Ford vs. Ferrari".  In"Rush" I felt much more involved by the drama that beat in the two pilots, so different and with so many things in common. In "Ford vs. Ferrari" I had a good time, really, but the last third of the film for me was too topical, too much repeating the usual scheme, without having so much soul. I didn't get so involved.

 

And "John Wick" is very funny. The film takes some common topics, but tries to give it another boost, or at least give it its own personality. I liked it. 

 

 

yup rush was amazing

have to disagree with you on FvF though, the final act (especially the final scenes which i didn't see coming) blew me away!

and john wick well, classic!

OMG!

 

This is an incredible news!!!

 

After what they did with Jaws, I can just hope the craziest!

I know, I pray this doesn't get cancelled, i've wanted a Back To The Future premium for years!

Hey, I watched these movies solely for educational purposes. Needed to learn some slick moves so I could impress @Trianna

there's better movies for that... lololol

Not seen Ford vs Ferrari yet. But I liked Rush, and many did not. So I believe it could be underrated. When I watch it, I’ll let you know. 

Rush was amazing. So yeah i think you'll like it.

Watched 1917 tonight in 4K. 
Much better than Nolan’s Dunkirk, but still not a patch on Hacksaw Ridge. 
Interesting use of the camera in what appears to be one shot filming, but doesn’t alter the fact that it was a bit slow.
Definitely overrated. Much like most Oscar nominated films are. 
Just my opinion of course. 

I liked Dunkirk best, but would give the best war movie of all time to Saving Private Ryan.

I agree it was overrated just like Parasite. Enjoyable watch but not as amazing as people made out.

On that note I think Ford Vs Ferrari was underrated.

Take it “outside“ please. 

Enough negativity has been expressed in this and the Jaws threads. 
I don’t want this place becoming like Social Media. 
I don’t do SM for exactly the reasons you two are displaying. 
Thank you. 

that's why i don't do social media

Here's an idea for you, next time hdzeta or blufans do a groupbuy, skip it, that way you'll feel more grateful about the editions you do have. 

LMFAO. here's an idea for you, get over yourself and stop crying like a little baby

My goodness @Danny, no offence taken!

I whole-heartedly agree with you buddy!

just covering my tracks, i get quite passionate about art lmao!

5 minutes ago, Grendel said:

Ah, I understand completely @Danny 👍

Sure the staircase means something to those whom are quite familiar with the film but I do agree, there 's certainly a lot of art I think they could have chosen that surpasses it.

Personally, I'm also not a fan of the red tinged artwork of the scene on the front of the Steel.

I already have it (of course) when it was released as a WWA stand alone Steel and after a while, the scene itself becomes mundane.

But if they were going to use it regardless ( as it's iconic), they could have at least gone with the purple accents of the original film's poster.

 

 

The booklet looks  interesting at least. I'm eager to see what they've included. 🙂

 

(sorry for derailing your thread, again, @StrikerEureka79  🥴

yes sorry i meant no offence by it, but to me they did you an injustice

that film has so much potential for incredible artwork and it never gets the treatment it deserves imho

i know the stairwell is iconic but so is ET's spaceship and if they did that for cover art i would be like, errrrr???

just my taste, maybe another retailer will take it on and do it right sometime

the last predator release, to me it looks like he's taking a break on set for the cover art, they make some funny decisions

Hmm, just curious what about the BB release of The Exorcist disappointed you @Danny ?

I have yet to receive mine, as it's I believe, part of the steamer trunk of items John is sending me.

all of it tbh, i wanted to see regan's demon face on the front and some terrifying eyes or something, instead we got... a stairwell

really gutted about it when i saw the beauty shots but on the other hand, IT blew my mind so all is good
