Thanks for the tag @Steelselecta

Too high a price for a package with WWA steelbook that can be had elsewhere for €28 shipped.
The packaging seems nice - but I already have the last word on this - The HDZeta box set.
I'll stick a 4K version in the box.

GB sold out. Congrats to those who got it. It was hard but I managed to stay strong.

 

[DMD4k]

Well that was fast.

Don't blame 4K for the price increase Even 3D release were priced higher when it came out Just greedy FA to blame for.

The 4K Amaray was £18 delivered at zoom and I am sure it will go down to £15, £13 and £10 gradually

Easy pass... happy with my HDzeta box set.

 

[boldnerd]

Damn, was really looking forward getting this one, as it's my favourite film. Does anybody know if more copies will be available for the GB?

 

[toratora]

I appreciate its limited number, but it looks exactly the same as the one I’ve ordered from amazon Italy for half the price?!

are you sure it's half the price. could be 1/3 or even 1/4 of the price after shipping you know

Unlikely any more in the GB but you will be able to buy direct when they go live. Think the details are in the first post.

No worries! It can all be a little confusing at times, especially if you're new to collecting.

I'm not sure if you're already aware, but just in case... WWA = World Wide Art (non-exclusive), and WEA = World Exclusive Art (exclusive). So, basically... anything described as WWA means the steelbook is available in multiple countries, whereas WEA means it's exclusive to that country/retailer only.

Good to have you here anyway mate! Please feel free to contact myself or another Mod if you require assistance with anything.

Thanks a lot, appreciate the kind welcome.

I’ve been collecting for a couple of years, have quite a few, more interested in 4K ones these days but there’s still a few blu ray ones I’m after.

Yeah still trying to keep up with all the exclusive companies like HDzeta etc, so many! Trying to keep up with pre order dates etc!

Managed to get one of the 1,800 exclusive Fight club Manta Labs the other week though, chuffed with that.

Lemme ask beforehand this time: where should I see whether the lenticular has a depth/flip effect?

Ohh cool! You're certainly not new to the game then. Who would you say is your favourite steelbook retailer at the moment?

Haha I hear you... I've been collecting 10+ years (started with DVD) and still struggle to keep up with everything that's released, especially nowadays (old age affecting the noggin, plus new companies appearing out of nowhere).

Congrats on securing a copy of Fight Club! I'm looking forward to that one too.

Ha touché!

 

[el barto]

Insane price its going too far for my league.

I wonder how many who bought FAC's last night/today are now feeling buyer's remorse when HDZ announced their new WEA less than 24 hours later Talk about timing

Another reason I'm happy to skip this is due to FA new trend of "XL" releases HDzeta's are fat and beefy enough for me (but still within the realms of being normal sized ) but these FAC XL's are just frickin' HUGE!!! Like their previous Maniacs Boxes, too big IMO.

Maybe offer your copy up to another member buddy. Someone may have missed out and would be happy to take your spot in the GB
