It's only January 2016 and I'm already spending so much on steels !

I have to say the halfslip looks great

Never bought a film arena release before. I wish I had made this my first. It looks brilliant. I'll definitely keep an eye on their future releases. What is the quality like in hand?

There are many upcoming titles from the Film Arena Collection to pop your cherry !

And the quality you ask ? let's just say for the cost they are the best value for money. Other than the odd scratched lenticular magnet (usually due to the fact lenticular lenses are stored on pallets) I haven't received a damaged steelbook or fullslip / artcards / post cards / character cards etc.

The half-slip has certainly exceeded my initial expectations and I'm pleased I went with it... (all 3 in fact )

So unique and the first of it's kind...

 

[Noodles]

I think the 1/2 slip is probably my favourite, as it's so unique. Although, they all look great! Superb job FA.

The 1/2 slip looks like one you would keep sealed and never open though. Don't you agree ?

I'll probably just keep my half-slip sealed and open the Lenti and Fullslip so I can check out all the goodies...

I forgot if anything even came with the half-slip and had to check out the OP again (5x Collector's Art Cards )

I'm curious to how the lenti depth/detail is. I love that it's a full slip now. But I prefer the embossing/texture of the red and white full slip.

We will never know until we personally see it. That's the only problem with lenticulars.

I'm so happy that I got all three. Thanks @carllenc

I think there's a good reason it is the first of its kind, it is a bit pointless. It doesn't provide any additional artwork opportunities like a full/lenticular slip and it covers most of the Steelbook artwork unlike a 1/4 slip. It is the worst of both worlds.

Filmarena has the best quality control from all companies and the whole package is usually flawless. I say this from my own experience after buying every Filmarena release and opening them. I collect steelbooks from all over the world, but Filmarena always has the least amount of problems. If you want to have these FAC releases I recommend you to join Karel's GB, since you can combine your orders, save some money and don't have to worry about missing a copy. If you try to get a copy directly from Filmarena site you have a good chance of missing it, because some of these releases have sold out just in some seconds when the pre-order comes live. Also when GB comes alive, join instantly as these are filled rather quickly.

PA are unparalleled on every score, but that doesn't mean to say FA are bad. I have been extremely pleased with all my FA purchases.

Look how well that lines up. Take a lesson from this zavvi with your Lenticulars.
