Harsh!

Have you seen Constantine?

Harsh!

Have you seen Constantine?

Honey thats like asking do I breathe air .

I was out voted by 3 to 1 . To be honest I was glad .

Tilda Swinton as Gabriel was a revolation .Keanu and Djimon Hounsou are SO underestimated in my view . Like the Movie . The soundtrack also fits perfectly for me .

No I have not read the comics or seen the TV show .

FA 5 relises on top of the numerous others to be fair I dont think they could touch the quality of the Novamedia .

Also FA's money grabbing attitude shoving this back for other titles time after time . 1 AND A 3/4 almost from the original GB . With scant updates for me reinforced FA's contempt towards the dibbing collector like me .

The Manta Lab Lenticular's in hand are on another Plain . The pictures do them no justice at all in hand OMG LUSH .

Can I choose between the two movies as a Movie HELL NO both strong female charicters story driven plot . Love them both equily . Only Constantine with the lack of primium relises won hands down .

 

[Ashisarobot]

Fair play @Scary Hair !

I've watched Constantine twice, not sure I'm in a rush to see it again and Keanu was not exactly how I envisioned the character, but it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things!

As long as you enjoy your purchase, that's the main thing!

Massive thanks to @carllenc and @Collector03601 . The wait is finally over

The VERDICT:
Steelbook itself is FANTASTIC
E2 lenticular is much better in hand without cellophane. I actually really like it!
E1 okay. IMO nothing special
E5 looks great!

The Hardbox? Though artwork chosen is great with spot gloss the actual construction of the box is again extremely disappointing with join lines and creases and bulges clearly visible. To think this actually cost 200 czk extra is laughable.

Thanks for that. Note that I am not a saint either lol. Like many collectors, I do buy and resell the extras, and the ones I lose my interest upon Otherwise, I will need an additional room which is a luxury for those generation rent living in super cheap London. I was about to purchase a home finally but had to pull out due to some change in circumstances. So I am now even more wary when it comes to throwing silly money at every Premium Steelbook. I have been collecting for years, it is in my blood but sadly I can only take so much. It was fun few years back as there were limited number of releases at affordable prices. Now whenever I look at the final amount to pay in PayPal, it is quite shocking.

Of course, we will have to selective blah blah but what I am not liking is retailers flooding the market. This release is a prime example of an excellent retailer turning greedy. 5 editions of a single film? Seriously?

Really can't argue that, I do see your point massively. I'm a huge fan of filmarena, probably my favourite premium retailer, but the frequency of releases and all these different editions is getting a little out of hand, but end of the day it is only our choice to buy if we want, but I get what you say about the magic going out of the hobby. So many retailers releasing their own premiums of the same steelbook.
Hopefully with the likes of Manta and @EverythingBlu it seems the spark is coming back..... slowly. And you can never really write off filmarena I believe as they do come out with some stunners.

But I do get what you are saying.

Anyone on here in the UK still waiting for their delivery from Karel?

I was waiting until after the new year period to ask as I know things take a bit longer than normal. Karel posted my E1 edition on 16th December and it still hasn't arrived..

@Collector03601 @carllenc

My package of Dredd's were shipped 23/12/16 and I haven't received it. What is slightly worrying is that my latter package containing Deadpool, Krampus + Crimson Peak were received yesterday yet shipped 29/12/16

I'll try not to worry, yet.........

I have contacted Karel before and he has issued me with the tracking number, so if you contact him I'm sure he will help If this relieves you, he has never had a lost parcel accoding to other members on here.

Thanks for the reassurance I'll remain the optimist and have faith

 

[blu-steel]

Any packages that were shipped during the Christmas season you need to know they can take a long time. I have seen packages take as long as 3 months in my 7 years of shipping and receiving.

@Collector03601 @carllenc

I'm still waiting for my parcel that was shipped on the 21st Dec. Got the tracking details from Karel, but doesn't tell me anything. So just got to wait it out.

 

[Mobley]

Received my parcel today, big thanks to @carllenc and @Collector03601

 

[Bodhisattva]

I'm still waiting for my parcel too (Deadpool, Krampus & Dredd E2) that was shipped on the 21st Dec. Also got the tracking details from Karel.

I live in California, any other US residents receive there package yet?

E4/E5 shipped December 14 and received December 28 so you should expect yours any day but on the same note I have a package coming from the UK that is over a month late so definitely a bad time of year for international shipments.

 

[howarmat]

got both my boxes that were shipped on 12/22 today. Perfect condition. I am let down a bit by the lenticular. It seems dull compared to others FA have done.

Thanks again @carllenc and @Collector03601 for all the work they did for the christmas season rush

 

[Steelbookzombie]

The lenticular on E2 Dredd and the one on Deadpool E2 they are not like any lenticulars I've seen before (Well they are but they're not if you follow me!) The depth and the way the guns follow you back and forth seem to me to be quite unique to FA which is something they should be very proud of!
