Received and the left side on the back is a little open however the rest of the box is pretty much intact. I figure if I do not mess with it a lot it should be OK but it would be nice to know what kind of glue we should use to make it stronger. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve used some craft bond tacky glue on the left back-side and weighed it down with some of my movies… looks like it will do! 🙏

MP had a Group Buy for it last year, and I elected to go for the full slip at the time. I love the FS but I’d regretted not getting the OC ever since!

Well, this is making me glad I'm not a Movie on a Disk in a Case in a Slip in a Box in a Box kinda collector.

You got #004?!? That’s awesome.

I bought the double lenticular full slip on eBay right after I started collecting last year. Dave floating on his way to kill HAL is probably the coolest looking lenticular I have. And the old school artwork steelbook is a beauty. I bet the rest of the 1 click kicks ass. Congrats!

So today I have received some very cool goodies. My very first filmarena maniac set. Thanks to @extantsrevenge for taking the time to organize the gb for this. Appreciate your help greatly. Thanks mp for getting this to me.

So, I also got the hdzeta LOTR box to house the premiums. It is a sturdy box. Just not put together all that well. Looks beautiful also. The very nice highlights. I do love it.

My set also comes completely apart. Top from bottom. I think something happened during transport to maybe cause this. I don't know. I just know if anyone finds a solution please help.

No worries, I got what I bought. I'm a collector.. no one to blame s*i* happens. Least I woke up today. Thanks again for your time.... love mp.

Superglue isn’t much good for cardboard…. Its too thin and will most likely just soak into the surface and provide little or no adhesion…. A good quality more viscous craft glue would probably be the better choice …

For knowledge sake was this also an issue with the batman mother box? I received my lotr mother box today as well and thankfully it's intact but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about handling it.

Kudos to Shout. I would have loved to have been in that pitch meeting when this idea was thrown out there. Love it, it's ridiculously kitch and smart at the same time. My grandma loves snow globes, I can just see her showing this off to her friends.

I’d heard about the glow in the dark Trainspotting packaging (which I didn’t want to pay extra for) but I didn’t know about the unusual shape/size. Comparison at bottom.

Love the look of this one, hope the movie lives up to the packaging:

Along with the H x W difference, the Trainspotting package is very slim:

Had just settled into a groove with work today, when the doorbell rang... and I can't not open a box from MP the second I get it.

Received my Jaws UHD Club hardbox, along with my MP Gold Membership card. Huge thanks to @Masterblaster for the hookup and for shipping these so quickly, especially during this busy time of year—really appreciate it, John! Both the release and the membership card are so beautiful in hand, love them. The lenticular cover on the hardbox is so cool. Excited to add this to the collection.

Lord of the Rings motherbox by HDZeta. Thanks to @Masterblaster and crew for this beautiful motherbox. I mentioned a few days ago that I wouldn't be surprised if HDZeta didn't release anything in the next 6 months or maybe even this year, and then the next day they had the Group Buy for Barbie lol Better than nothing I guess.

Anyway, this box is very sturdy, well designed, and looks phenomenal. Much better quality than I expected. The glue is not coming off the back like everyone else. My glue is coming off from underneath the black foam slots that house the movie. One side stays down, the other side comes up. The foam slots are very snug when putting the one clicks in, to the point where I struggled to take the one-clicks out, even with two hands.

I got a surprise in the mail today as I had no shipping alert, I still thought it was in customs lol Anyway, here is Spider-Man No Way Home from Manta Lab. Thanks to @Masterblaster and crew for the group buy for this beautiful release!

I pre-ordered this the same day as Spider-Man Homecoming from WeET. I remarked, after seeing the beauty shots of Homecoming that I almost regretted ordering this and not waiting for the WeET version of this movie. I am here to tell you that I was completely wrong. This is the best release from Manta that I own from this year, beating out Inception and 2001. The beauty shots don't do it justice, and even my pictures don't quite convey the quality of this set.

The full slip is suberb, the single lenticular has depth, clarity, and great transition. The double lenticular is awesome, and my pictures don't convey how great this is. The depth effect on this one is probably the best I've ever seen on a lenti and makes you feel like the shards of glass are truly there in front of you. The extras are good, The one click box, while plain looking in the beauty shots, is actually very nice. And unlike my last 4 one-clicks from Blufans, I had zero swirls/scratches /dirt on my lentis or box. Good quality control as usual.

Manta is number one in this premium game. The only ones who are close are WeET and UHD Club. #Teamopenitup
