My S1 & S2 steels thankfully arrived unscathed, although I haven't opened them yet. I've seen a ton of posts online saying there may be some factory-defect spine damage where the steels literally fall apart. So I'm a little scared to unwrap them lol.

 

That being said, this S1 slip looks pretty good thus far! Many thanks to the MP & CE teams for their work on this project.. Will probably definitely be picking this up. Hope we get matching slips for S2 & S3.

My spines are in a state of quantum entanglement like Schrödinger's cat. As they are sealed they are neither damaged nor undamaged 🤪

hello mate

 

I’m still confused at how the new group buy works. Since the original GB for It Chapter 2 CMA was moved, I don’t know how and when I should expect an invitation to the club ? Is this how it works. I am on the lenticular list and don’t want to lose my place.

@LectroluvIV Don't worry, the club will be done soon and you will be added. The original GB is still in the same place at the moment (but will be moved to the club). We add members directly to clubs now instead of sending invites because too many members were ignoring the invites.

Just got these beauties yesterday. They are going to go great with the CE slips!

Hmm. Was looking forward to this one, but it seems like kind of a messy jumble (and even so, no Razor Crest). I like the back better than the front/lenti. I'd also prefer it to be "Season One" instead of "First Season." That wording works on the regular release when it's "The Complete First Season," but just "First Season" seems odd to me.

 

Sorry—I know this all sounds negative, and I don't like being that way. Just a little disappointed with this. Might help if Season Two were also done at the same time, so I could see what they're going to look like together.

I see it only took you 10 minutes to post a negative comment. Why even bother since you seem to dislike almost everything? I think this one is excellent. And by the way, the steelbook says "Complete First Season" not Season One. We've already given feedback to CE to request that they match the wording on the steelbook.

Beauty Shots!

Note: The title will be updated to "The Complete First Season"

is it possible this group buy will open again? just asking as some these releases were planned years ago before I even knew what a premium release was let alone a group buy or mp.

Sorry, but we have no plans on reopening this GB. Your best bet is to reach out to John when shipping starts and maybe he can help.

@extantsrevenge @deckard99 Can some approve my rant? I used a word that I should not have. 

@ncraft Your post is now visible however I have edited it. You can express your unhappiness with CM but it's not ok to make personal attacks. - Ken 

This thread will now get back on topic to discuss Avatar: The Way of Water (Creator Era Exclusive CE #09). Any further general CE or off-topic comments can be sent by PM.

Thank you.

I think its disingenuous to say MP does not have a vested interest in these releases and then try and paint Creator Era as just another "retailer". 

When you have multiple members voicing displeasure over the same issue, it means maybe you should stop and try to fix it. 

 

Personally, I have many issues with creator era releases that I know will never be addressed and therefore I will never buy one. No amount of "pushing" or notifications is going to change that 

Let's get something clear. We are not CE. We have input and work together closely on projects, but we are separate entities.

But why just these releases? Don't you want to see most or all releases do well? I'm confused why CE gets such preference here that every member needs to get an alert about every new beauty shot.

Because we are trying to get enough orders so that these projects are viable. We don't have the same situation with Blufans, Weet, etc.

no like im a teenager, i can not get a job😭

Don't worry, you have plenty of money wasting years ahead of you! 😈

Just now, mosssmh said:

very doable. only issue is that i do not have a job and do not know where to acquire 1000 dollars

Sorry to hear that. Collecting a premiums is an expensive hobby. We often joke about it, but living within our means has to come first, of course.

Is there any chance that MAG releases Blade Runner 1? Cant afford the mantalab OC💔

Get the UHD club wood box sets for BR and BR2049. That's what you need 😄

Easily affordable once you eliminate the non-essential things from your life, like food and shelter.

For me it has a touch of advertising.

(my personal impression)

Advertising implies payment and that's not the case here. We do want to promote these releases though, because we like them and want to see them do well! 😁

I don't get any other notifications for groups that I have actively not participated in, but keep getting them for this. Again, no other groupbuys do this that you haven't personally chosen to be notified by.

 

This is a great site and place to secure confidence in a group buy. 

 

This just ain't it, though.

Again, I don't see the notifications as being a big deal. You don't need to click on it or view it. If you guys can ignore payment notifications (which a lot of you do 😜) then I'm sure you'll have no problem ignoring these.

I feel like maybe the lesson from the CE experiment is that these boxes are not what a lot of people want. Or not at that price, or not without a steelbook, or not at that unusual size, or something. If none of the GBs are full enough to actually make and ship the product, then maybe it'd be good to halt new titles being announced and developed?

 

And I agree with @Basil that the "all members" alerts make the project feel desperate, which doesn't seem like a good look.

I see nothing wrong with tagging members for this or any other GB really. It's easy to ignore the notification if you don't want it. 

As for the editions themselves, what gets released is up to CE, not us. Personally I really like these. Both Gladiator and the Star Wars sets are great, and it looks like Top Gun, Avatar, etc. will be even better.  - Ken

Still no GB open for this one, correct?  Want to make sure I don’t miss it.

Not yet. It will be announced here when it opens and in all the usual "notice of GB update" threads.

This Group Buy is now closed. Thank you to all members who participated!

Looks good! Will there be a US version of this release?

It appears that the "what's in the box?" edition is a UK exclusive. Not sure about the other one.

These look amazing!  Are you able to add some context?  I see they are shrinkwrapped, does that mean they are shipping out soon?

Yes, possibly next week. We won't know for sure until we get the tracking numbers though.
