That moment when I unseal this beauty, make coffee, turn on my nice home cinema and sit on the couch to watch the movie...only to see a banner saying the disc is region A only and I can't play it.

Facepalm

Heartbreaking!

Time to buy a region free BD player

 

[lgans316]

Aforementioned cost of Region free BD player = Cost of Revenant One-click.

The Revanent with Leather slipcase

Received my first edition made by Manta Lab; The Revanent with Leather slipcase. I had to buy it on E-bay for £49 + 4.50 shipping, did I pay too much do you think ?

WHAT A BEAUTY !

The unique artwork, quality finish and the thought that has been put into the design of this edition for the collector,

A new rival for Plain Archive maybe ?

Thats not bad at all. I've seen some go for around £65-£75. Although thats assuming they were all genuine bids.

I think If I paid nearer £50 for mine I'd still be happy. Its really is an awesome edition.

Get the UHD disc. Region free and PQ is awesome

You need a 4K TV and player to notice though?

The value of this has plummeted thanks to the high print run and the fact that Manta keeps putting thia back on their site and the obvious factor, the weak £.

Leather slip selling for £43 plus postage. There are some.auctions based in.eBay Germany that ends high but I suspect shill bidding. Yesterday evening the Full Slip ended at £28 plus postage. This is lower than what you pay to Manta direct. Also the disc being Region A doesn't help the collectors in UK and EU who already pay high prices thanks to customs.

That's true.... Damn, thought I had the solution : (

 

[lgans316]

My region free player won't play this disc.....

Then the player is a bit or too old that it can handle enhanced Region coded discs. I would say buy a Blu-ray drive, rip to.HDD using MakeMKV and play it via Media Player.

Shouldn't have to go through all this nonsense just to watch the disc in fairness.

I noticed a few of the Full and Lenti slips going for around the £30 mark.

I´ve already sent 3 e-mails to [email protected] but they are ignoring them. No answer or anything.

To be honest, i'm surprised. I really had a good feeling about MantaLab after reading how engaged they are, how they listen to their customers.

I just want a replacement for my damaged Full Slip, but unfortunately I have no luck. I'm really busy sometimes and i'm feeling exhausted if I have to run after each.

BIG EDIT://

Never mind, just checked my e-mails again, received an answer two days ago. I feel horrible right now. For my defense, for some reason it was in the spam folder.

 

[IRON MAN]

Thank you @Aniv and Manta Lab

I haven't seen this since it came out in theaters. are there supposed to be subtitles when the native americans are speaking?

The value of this has completely plummeted. Manta produce some of the best steelbooks yet half or most of them don't really maintain their value. Reason why is the market is completely overloaded with the same movies. eBay is the place to get better deals than ordering direct. I mean £30 for a FS lol. For those that hyped the Manta deadpool that it would go up in value, well this is already dropping in value as I predicted. When the FAC releases there be nearly every retailer wants a stab at the market. Why buy on release date these days...

One clicks are now becoming the worst investment ever. Oh no I should just be opening every single one and not caring about the value right?

It certainly beats fretting every time the price of a particular release dips on eBay.

Thinking a little more in depth this is beginning to become a repeat of 2013-2014 Asian meltdown when nearly all the Asian steels dropped to peanuts. And when they did all these funny premium slips you see reinstated the premium market again. Now too many retailers want a piece of the market and here we seeing the meltdown starting again and a repeat of 2013-2014. It's not just one release. Most of the Asian steels you struggle to get the retail price back. Useful information. Of course if you don't care about value of any steels disregard what I say, not like I care at all.

For people who do care about the value, good points and all facts, no BS and no hyping. I am sure for every outbound collector there is another inbound collector. The show must go on and things will change inevitably.

Also the weak pound which has depreciated by nearly 20% against USD / EUR is really hurting us and some hardcore long term collectors whom I know have stopped importing and are trying to get from eBay or forums.

With 4K in the mix, we can expect some more re-releases.

I dont know, I think there are always people who start collecting after lines from retailers are so far gone, like the Nova Choice/Exclusive lines from Nova Media and the Filmarena Collection. Some people have to complete the whole line and who knows, 2 years down the line when these people do get into this then these releases would be harder to obtain and have went up in value. The Manta releases are not really that old are they and are pretty widely available, I bet the same thing happened with the Nova Choice Winter Soldier when it came out, it probably wasn't selling for as high as it does now and now its considered a grail (not sure if that was the case as I didn't collect Asian premium releases back then).

Every company releasing the same movies doesn't help things, especially when some companies use the same artworks for their packages.I think from now on i'm generally going to be a complete collector of all things Manta lab and Nova Media. KimchiDVD is abit hit and miss at times, HDZeta have good releases but take forever to put them out and FAC have way too many releases to keep up with.
