Direct. Manta seems to fill GB orders after.

 

I've been lucky with ML I've ordered a few direct and got them no probs, well packaged and no import fees as they always mark them up saying $15 John is a star there for sure!

Yeah Big Trouble is beautiful.  I was so envious when you and everyone else got theirs.  

Jigsaw is nice.  

I'm starting to get frustrated with Zavvi's lack if interior artwork especially for what I paid for Jigsaw.  

But the outside is finished nicely with like a spot gloss on it. 

 

Zavvi seem to be churning out so much older stuff at a rate of knots atm..well I guess it's just easy $$ for them

 

As soon as the comedown happens from Thor Raggy they will probably release a lenti version too..why oh why don't they just release one top class unbeatable WEA version for collectors

Thanks to @xSNAKExPLISSKENx and @Scary Hair for helping me spend more money.

Hellraiser Scarlet Box showed from Amazon today. 

So did Revenge of the Nerds Box set but I didn't take pics of that one.  

 

I See why this box is loved by many.  

Excellent artwork indeed. 

 

[Scary Hair]

AWESOME SET AND Pictures @Kingpin ?❤.

 

We are more than happy to help spend other people's money ???.

Love the series.  Reminds me of youth. 

It's also why I bought the Porky's sets and the steelbook.

Thank you.  I am a sucker for red and black.

Just came back from the Post Office.  

John from Manta Lab came through like he said he would with the Lenti of La La Land.  

I was shipped the Full Slip originally when I ordered the Lenti.  

Their customer service was great and a pleasure to deal with regarding the mixup.   

 

For @Scary Hair I also added the Revenge of the Nerds box set and a couple other comedies that came today also since she seems to have a good sense of humour.

@Kingpin The Atomic Wedgie Collection. Wasn't that the name of Cher's last boxset too? I'm glad you got your La La KP, though imo is was a happy accident to also get that beautiful FS.

I'm not touching the Cher comment.   LOL 

Yeah I would agree with you about ending up with both the FS and Lenti.  

Now it's killing me I don't have the box set.

HEHE ......!!...........................Aren't we all .........?....................especially when its looks as good as this ....................

[Rograt]

Awesome additions KP, glad you got LLL sorted too, it's always good to see a company care rather than just think about the $$$

 

And who doesn't like the red and black combo eh?

[Kingpin]

Amazon order came early.  Nothing special.  But see if you can spot the mildly infuriating issue with the second picture.  ?

Yup.  I've learned that it never came with one which helps ease m mind but still is frustrating.

IB from the UK showed up today also.  

Beautiful!!!

Is it that they're DVD? Because I wasn't aware the Creature and Invisible Man Legacies were released on Blu-Ray yet. I guess before reading further because I like guessing games.

Phantom of the Opera doesn't have a slip.   

I was going to buy the incomplete bluray set but I read the DVD's were actually quite good and being as this was a mostly "Need for the media library" and not a "must have" it was no big deal. 

I rarely buy DVD's.  Only if the movie is not available on BR.

On the plus side, they botched the audio mastering on the blu-ray of Werewolf of London, whereas is was supposedly fine on the DVD. The levels jump up and down throughout the whole movie.

I can't stand bad audio...or video for that matter. 

There is a channel called "Slice" and it doesn't matter if there are movies or shows the levels are always going in and out.  

Annoying as F!

Sometimes they do the best they can with the source material available. I have the Criterion Island of Lost Souls and even though it's restored, it's still in really bad shape in parts. There's no excuse for messing something up that was fine before, however.

Couple Zavvi's today and MR. MIYAGI in his famous movie House of Luk in DVD. 

Paddington has some nice debossing on it.  Real nice.

Now that's what I call good taste!!!!

 

Also, you're making me want to attempt to take pics of my collection again as it has expanded a LOT since I last posted. But alas, I'm lazy! I'll just like and lurk yours in enjoyment!!
