    The day I received my "The prestige" box, I made a new rule for myself: buy anything and everything that UHD club makes or @ksosk is involved with. 

     

    Hasn't failed me yet 🙂

     

     


    I’m proud to say I own all UHD Club releases. They are all amazing and the extras from @ksosk make them even more special. As a matter of fact, seeing the beauty shots for UHD Club Wonder Woman was the catalyst for me finding MP and I never looked back!

    I was reading back through the thread and a couple things stood out.

     

    1. There arent going to be two editions anymore, correct?

     

    2. There isn't going to be a @ksosk signature prop?

     

     


    Just 1 edition for sure. 
     

    Based on above it looks like a signature prop is a longshot, but there will be a box to house BR and BR2049 and I expect it will be amazing 🤩

    Yep—and I don't mean any criticism of your design work, @ksosk, which is always excellent. But since the studios do license alternate artwork (Mondo, Bottleneck, etc.), it seems like they could, if they wanted, broaden the licensing terms to be able to put all the art to any use. But: I know nothing about all the inner workings, so I'll be quiet now. :)


    @ethnosax All retailers struggle with this issue. Studios tend to be very restrictive and retailers fight as much as possible to get artwork approved. Use of alternate artwork is very hard to get approved and my guess is that it has to do with money (higher or additional payments to artists vs. artwork done in-house). In this case it took over a year to get the purple artwork approved. And I see art in the beauty shot that was only available with certain Japan and UK releases as well. We’ll see if anything new can be added but I think this release is already fantastic.

    Any idea approximately how many Platinum Numbers there will be? Because if there arent many, a platinum membership will suffice I think. I don't want to commit to buying every title they put out in hopes that a number will be available before the next "big" release. 

     

    Also, unrelated question, when are new memberships available for purchase?

     

    The next membership cycle will probably start in August. A tiered membership will certainly help but don't forget that each HUB will only have a certain quantity. You may have missed this post? Collector numbers certainly aren't for everyone. You really gotta be dedicated to the retailer. For every Jaws there's a Secret Life of Pets 2. For those who can commit it's great, They can build a collection going forward with all editions having the same number. And of course it's great for FA too. It's really up to each individual member and their tastes as to whether or not a number is worth it for them.

    So obviously I don't qualify for a platinum number right now. But if I wanted one, would I have to buy every release for a year, 2 years, 3 years, etc.? Or is there a certain amount of titles i have to buy? Is it even possible to get a number in the future? 


    All releases. Any skipping jeopardizes your number. As for the future, members come and go, or stop buying, so numbers will probably become available from time to time.

    More pay to play...... im about ready to give up this game

     

    It's hard for me to understand anyone complaining about paying a membership fee when the savings on ONE single edition can easily exceed the annual fee. Anyone is free to buy on the secondary market but you're still "paying to play", just in a different manner.

    @R1s1ngs0n ;

    I can appreciate your trepidation wrt the Steel's art.

    I think the small, almost obscure bullet hole in the tie adds a distinct bit of flavour to it but it is indeed rather mundane otherwise.

    I always feel a touch of sympathy for the releasing agents, as getting art approval from studios is so very difficult many times. 🙁

    I think the accompanying slip and assorted 'naff could make up for it, I guess we'll see. 🙂

     

    You call that a bullet hole?

     

    THIS is a bullet hole! 😅
