Nice ToC copy! I can't wait until Manta comes out with this and the sequels. This franchise might be the one I go all out and get OCs

Picked this up a while back. What an incredibly beautiful set. Definitely up there with the best I own, and another great edition from UHD Club! Thanks to @Masterblaster and the staff for getting this to me safe and sound!

 

 

I haven’t opened mine yet but I remember they got the characters names wrong when the beauty shots came out. Looks like they just made it easier to put inception on each character poster lol

In a couple of hours the calendar marks 1 year after the date that I fortunately found and joined this fantastic community!

 

To celebrate this special occasion I would like to look back and reflect upon my journey as a dedicated collector, and share this story with all my fellow psychos . And for all recent joiners here, take this as a serious warning for the dangerous path that lies ahead of you 😁. In the end I will be sharing the latest receptions from the past month.

 

Adding a spoiler because this turned out to be a book sized text 😂

ACT I

 

It all started when I came across some news about the Titans of Cult release for Mad Max (don't really recall where I saw it). This was back in June 2020, with the pandemic in its early stages and working from home,  left me with a lot more spare time and probably found it while checking some movie news on some random website. At this point a thought came to my mind, the one of having my top 20 movies in steelbook to display on a shelf. It sounded like a great idea since I LOVE MOVIES!

 

Hence started the hunt for my favorite stuff. First stop Zavvi. Looking for the Titans of Cult release of Mad Max led me there. In my head I had some rules I had to follow on this endeavour:

1.  I was gonna stick with my top 20 movies and no more.
2.  Only purchase 4k editions (meaning I would have to skip some of my real top 20s due to not having a 4k release yet)

Pretty simple rules right? 

 

I started snoopin around Zavvi's steelbook section, I saw Stallone's Lock Up and I thought to myself, weeeell definitely not in your top 20 but it's a pretty good action flick and kinda cheap. Kept scrolling, and along with Lock Up also got Gremlins, Inception and Alien along with the Titans of Cult Mad Max. Inception, Alien and Mad Max are all serious contenders to my top 20 but at this point I didn't really care anymore, you like it you buy it friend! Rule number 1 one broken 👍! Well done...

 

And to make my life easier Zavvi had just started putting out the Star Wars saga. I go like, damn the original trilogy is a classic, I'll get just those and ignore the rest 👀

 

 

I had just discovered my OCD with incomplete collections...

 

ACT II

 

Shortly after the first zavvi purchase I found the steelbooks subreddit, and looking at all those people sharing shiny pictures of their new steelbooks just made my addiction more severe. The steelbook library kept growing and soon I was all over ebay trying to find the treasured editions for my favorite movies. That second rule of getting only 4k releases had also gone down the drain quite fast...

 

 

Double dipping never even crossed my mind

 

 

Late July or early August, Zavvi announces the steelbook design for Goonies. I was super disappointed with the design... Some days later in the subreddit I see a post of another edition for Goonies with the original poster art, it was the Cinemuseum WEA. I was like I gotta have this, and immediately asked where I could get it, I was completely unaware of the premium stuff back then. The guy who made the post, felixmontoya92 (if you are reading this, forever grateful), he pointed me to Media Psychos Group Buys. And that was when I found this beautiful place , where we all share the same love for collecting premium physical media.

 

HELLO MEDIA PSYCHOS, GOODBYE MONEY

 

ACT III

 

So I start navigating the forum, figuring out my way around and I eventually join a couple of GBs, Goonies wasn't open yet. I guess I joined The Matrix and Scarface from Manta at the time.

But this was a whole new world for me, after going through all the retailers masterlists, I was like what have I been missing out!! At the same time I was thinking, ok I really gotta take it easy on these premium stuff because they are expensive...

 

One thing I promised myself I wouldnt do was to start buying MCU premiums. 23 movies and counting would just be too much... 

 

 

One other funny thing was when I came across One Cicks I was confused. What are these? I tought... Wait so people buy several copies of the same movie with the same steelbook in it 🤔?? No F****** way!

 

 

And for the great FINALE here's what I got over the past month...

 

 

 

This was it, the story of my descent deep into the rabbit hole.

 

TL;DR PREMIUMS NOT DRUGS!

 

 

This is a great post! I love it. We all have a similar story to tell 😁

I opened these up today: Spider-Man: Homecoming (Blufans Double-Lenti 4k) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (FAC Single-Lenti 4K/3D). I was shocked when the Blufans didn't have a 3D Bluray/Blu-ray as it said it was supposed. After digging, found out that the 4k only version was the way it was in the one-click. When sold separately it included the other two discs.

Been hunting for this for awhile now.

That is a beautiful set!

I've been eyeing that for years now @JSchlang, congrats! Happy someone where I hang out finally got one for me to see
Have the Prometheus to Alien set, but I much rather prefer that one. Would go nicely with the egg anthology set... another one I've been eyeing for years, maybe one day?

The Prometheus to alien set it amazing as well. Especially the… Japan(?) set which is mega embossed. I’ll probably sell my uk set one of these days as it’s holo but flat.

[Grendel]

I also am of the consideration that Japanese "Alien set" is primo quality and it was on my very short-list, right up to the point the FAC 1-clk dropped, which not only provided a gorgeous release of the 1st film, but put a significant hit on my wallet. 

As I do have the Alien Anthology release (both dvd and later Blu) my viewing experience has blossomed but yeah, that packaging Japan put out is gorgeous. 🤩

Same with the set they released  for the later  "prequels" (Prom & Cov) included. 👍

 

Some outstanding other treasures portrayed in previous pics Folks! Thanks so very much for sharing with us!  😍
