They will learn their lesson. The first selective release was a disaster. Being selective didn't go well it seems.

I reckon they're trying to rake in funds for future projects.

Still waiting on Sicario....

Terminator 5 reduced as well. Not a good sign for this retailer as they are now desperate to shift their stock.

Well, I helped them shifting at least two copies: The Wrestler and Genisys. I already own the full slip, but this steelbook is a work of art and deserves to be presented in all its glory, i.e. without a slip.
I always wanted to own the Genisys lenti slip, but never accepted to spend that kind of money on this horrible movie. With the price reduced by 40%, I didn't hesitate any longer and ordered it last night. It's already dispatched. Nice break from the usual habbit of waiting weeks after payment for the product to ship

It's ashame that PA can't sell their T5 Lenti. I thought it's a great release by them but they don't seem as popular as the other retailers.

Bad times on the horizon for Asian retailers unless they make some wise decisions.

I'm still trying to move T5, and not a nibble.. Some love PA, but not me... I will keep ISTD and ZD30.

PA just haven't really been in the game much. They did the awesome release for Zero Dark Thirty, which I thought was their breaking point for more things to come. But from then they made some unpopular choices for an exclusive, such as Tinker Tinker Taylor Spy, The Wrestler, The Master. T5 I thought they be back in which they cannot sell out like all the others, but bounced back with Old Boy, then they are off the radar again.

I do feel bad for them because their releases were of top quality.

They are possibly my joint favorite retailer alongside Blufans. PA give me my cultural/indie fix with titles like Frank and the Wrestler, Blufans feed my appetite for Marvel.
I just hope they can keep their heads above water and maybe choose their titles a little better.... I mean Terminator? Really?

I find the Plain Selective Terminator releases the best out there. Their lenti is just awesome. Instead of the almost boring transitions/morphing lenticulars they made a lenti which is high res & relevant to the movie. The steel is awesome too, I like the black more than the awful white steel. The full slip is amazing too due to the right way of using holo-foil

Couldn't agree with you more, the quality of that package is fantastic.

My issue was with the quality of the movie itself. A movie that got a critical mauling and pretty much killed the franchise.... A very odd choice for PA in my opinion.

I just can’t believe plain archive had this still…I was really lucky to know about the sale they had a few days ago, so when I saw this it was a no brainer, one in hand its awesome, rare chance to own this beauty at a price you wouldn’t imagine now days…

Assuming it was just the 1/4? Unless they found some fullslips down the back of the sofa, as that has been OOS for a while. Personally, design aside, the steelbook feels cheap in hand. Great design and fullslip though, considering it's age.

 

[Lenny Nero]

Assuming it was just the 1/4?

Yeah, but it still has a booklet and some cards, I bought it in 2014, strange it's still available...

 

[Lutzo]

I think there was a limited and numbered 1/4 slip with some extras and the unnumbered version and the latter has remained in stock since day 1.....
