So annihilation is very limited on posters but it’s one of those films that has many alternative artworks

I f**king love this film and if Astro does it right I’ll one click (although I don’t care for 1/4 slips so maybe not)

If Astro can do either of these on a Full slip then I’m 100% in

The first one has been ear marked for a slip, whether I can get consent and approval I'm not sure .

Long way off but a small question in advance @AstroC13 - this is bound to be very popular and that's great for everyone involved and us as consumers.
Scalpers and chancers are always in the back of my mind these days.
Would you set up a purchase transaction policy that blocks any nefarious scalper/bot/dichead from hoovering up many multiple copies at once?

No more than say, two copies in one purchase transaction or some such?

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

Wow! This is a dream come true. 10/10 pick!

 

[Raggle Fraggle!]

Very exciting! One of my favorite films.

For reference, what is a comparable size to the XL FS editions? Are these similar size to FAC XL editions?

Yes. Orrrr anyone that orders over 2 copies you post & DOX them on here so we can send the lads round

Comparable to a FAC XL and the ETB zavvi slips (leon, fifth element, rambo). Watch a youtube unboxing of Astro’s Lone Survivor XL slip to give you an idea.

I would like to think everyone would get the opportunity to purchase one, Lone survivor was split into two seperate pre order days due to stock issues so it was quite spread out.

I honestly didn't expect the reception for this that I've seen across multiple platforms, im actually quite taken back.

I will do what I can to ensure a smooth process when pre order time comes.

I Just want to say Lone survivor shipping was terrible by my own admission, very delayed and something that will not happen again.

I've learned so much from the first release and I will be implementing huge changes going forward.

my promise to you all is that release/shipping will be a hell of a lot quicker and more structured but I still won't sacrifice QC.

I appreciate the support.

@AstroC13 i think everybody's happy and quite surprised by this release as it wasn't expected at all, the movie's a favorite for many of us and especially for those who haven't or can't afford the oop wwa release.
I'm thinking to do a OC as well for the first time in a very long time if i like the artwork !
Kudos overall for this announcement

I'm not a fan of this movie one bit but hell yes I'm in, I bet this'll be a fantastic release.

I knew going into this it would divide opinion

[Mr.Pink]

definitely interested!

 

[jonnybobbytimmy]

You’re alone if you don’t like that.

I doubt that. These stacked people piles are for Disney and marvel movies okay, everything else deserves better

Please show me better

That’s not my job, I can voice my opinion nonetheless. And the shown design is super generic and boring. Even the original steel had better art lol

 

[jonnybobbytimmy]

BTW probably the only movie that NEEDS holofoil on a slip

I'm thinking now, after this, Civil War, and especially Men, that this is one of those 'recent' one-hit wonders (Ex-Machina) that didn't fulfill the expectations placed upon them afterwards, like Duncan Jones with Moon and Richard Kelly with Donnie Darko.
Only Garland is the worst of them all, because I somewhat liked one or two follow-ups of aforementioned others, but outright hated everything else Garland did...

I'm not a fan of this movie one bit but hell yes I'm in, I bet this'll be a fantastic release.

Yeah, I'll still buy at least one of the slips to support this endeavor.

I'll give you Richard Kelly but don't think Duncan Jones fits the criteria. Source Code was an excellent film. Michael Cimino and perhaps Neil Blomkamp are better examples of your thesis, which is fundamentally flawed by the way. Alex Garland is a damn good filmmaker with a respectable filmography and it is intellectually dishonest to say otherwise. He's never made an objectively terrible film, albeit divisive for sure.
