I’m also waiting for Kong but it was part of a multi purchase and im not paying extra to get the others in stock delivered. The cost is almost like another steelbook.
We sure this place is still functional 
Tried to get my order from 10/2022 shipped as I give up on the Kong and crickets. When ya havent had a shipment since 2022 not getting a real warm and fuzzy feeling from these guys.

Well since Harry Potter I don’t think they have advertised any more releases and if you look at their website the coming soon tab has gone.
Has anyone had any contact from at all? @carllenc have you heard anything that you can share? Are they still there? Are they going to update collectors at any point with what’s going on?
Perhaps under the circumstances, FAC shaming should no longer be frowned upon.
Me too, nothing seems to be ready to ship at the momentI'm still waiting on my Scott Pilgrim
I love their product, but have to say I'm a little bugged right now. We had some correspondence regarding a damaged The Thing and I mentioned I was going to snag Edge of Tomorrow, but they told me it wasn't ready and to wait a bit longer. So I figured I'd get the email about it since I clicked Want to Buy. Finally hit their site again and lo and behold it's sold out. Never got the email I was expecting. I guess it's on me for putting it off.
From what I have heard they moved to a different location. Its like the fourth time they moved. That must have slowed them down I guess. Thats all I heard and we are still waiting for an update what will be ready for us next.
So you ordered and paid for Kong and it never shipped? And they haven't responded to your emails about it? Did you at least get a credit for it? This is just bananas, man.We sure this place is still functional
The Kong/Godzilla was apparently waiting on a Lenticular reprint?? Mine was ordered with 4 others, so they are sitting on the entire order waiting on the Kong. I requested they ship the other 4 and put the Kong with the next batch, none of which have shipped either. I have 20 titles on preorder, unshipped, of which I believe 4 are in the can and could be shipped. Little nervous to say the least they are just gonna close up shop.
Just recieved this email
Dear Collectors,
thank you very much for your patience in the last months when we are facing great challenges together. The wait for information has been long, but careful consideration and discussion of our next steps has been a very strong internal theme in recent days. We are currently experiencing a delay due to the completion and distribution of the long-awaited PREDATOR exclusive title. It also took several weeks to move the warehouse. Now let's get to where we want to go next.
First, let's recap. In the second half of last year, we decided to resolve the situation regarding the long-awaited PREDATOR title in our own way. Thank you for the manner and understanding with which you accepted our proposed solution. There was no better solution in the given situation, which we can all see over time.
Now we have another tough challenge regarding discs for our editions. We needed time to thoroughly discuss individual solutions. For each edition, we always have pre-agreed conditions, which we consider unchangeable until the realization of our editions. Any change negatively affects the economy of editions and unfortunately, instead of finding the will for reasonable solutions, the demands become uncompromising. Although it may not seem like it, due to the individual delays that we encountered due to our strict quality requirements, we subsidized some editions from our own resources. We have therefore decided to release editions FAC 171 and beyond, with exceptions (we have purchased discs from an earlier time) without discs and not to give in to any pressure. The decision also applies to BLACK BARONS editions. We are currently finishing FAC #171 of GODZILLA in KONG and will then move on to sending out issues 167-171 which some are still waiting for. Then we will complete the next ed itions in order. If sooner or later we manage to get a certain amount of discs, we will put them in editions intended for free sale on the e-shop, but please expect that these editions will be more expensive. Updated release dates will gradually appear on the e-shop.
Due to our fifteen years of experience, we have agreed that we will no longer accept the new demands and pressure placed on us, we will continue to publish the planned editions, but at the same time we will put our energy into the projects that are offered thanks to our experience in the field of collector's editions. We will introduce you to these in further information emails. Collectors who invest in the FAC brand and BB products in a timely manner gain very interesting added value as well as appreciation. We believe that we are able to offer even better values with products that will not be subject to demanding approval processes, will be ours and we will be able to decide freely and independently about their development. We will continue to sell products created by us or previously purchased until they are sold out.
In our FAC and BB plans, ie. FAC #186 + and BB #33 + we have attractive limits that we will create mainly for our loyal customers. These are editions that we have arranged and prepared from an earlier time and we have not presented them yet. We estimate that those who follow us to the end of the FAC and BB series will receive even more interesting gems. In addition to these, we want to offer you the opportunity to expand your collection with a new series of very attractive pieces, which we are now preparing so that we can present our plan to you soon. We will hint that the focus will not be cinematic, but still attractive enough to attract the collecting public.
Please expect an update on the release dates for individual titles soon. We currently need to reprint some elements to bring them up to date.
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, support, and time.
With warm regards,
JC for the FA and BB team
