I'm definitely sticking with the Full Slip, it just looks great. And I do love the 1/2 slip but will pass on it as one edition shall be enough.
But whatever edition everyone's getting, Filmarena just stepped up their game from being awesome to 3x awesomeness. Beautiful editions throughout!

If in doubt you can sell it later if the film doesnt do anything for you!

Hope not to derail this thread... But in response to @justboy...

Out of respect and as per @carllenc's GB rule, I thought it was prohibited to sell on Steels originally bought from his GB's?

To be 100% honest, I do admit that I don't fully understand the rule in it's entirety so any insight, knowledge or advice from the more experienced members here is gratefully received

How does it work for example if you bought from a GB, opened it/watched it and didn't really like it? Is it then good practise to sell on and re-coup some/all the money initially paid or is even this "frowned upon"?

I fully understand and completely respect the rule regarding selling solely to make profit but not certain as per my question/s above...

I have far too much respect for both @carllenc and @Collector03601 to even think of the latter (i.e. Selling for own personal gain).

Thank you Ninja's

So you will join the GB, Karel will drive all the way to Prague to pick up your copy inspect for damage pack it up for you, ship it then you receive your copy open it watch it, then you don't like the movie and pack up your copy and sell it ? thats not cool what a waste of time for the GB host IMO

Uhhhh...it's very hard choice.
I will pass on 1/2 Slip, however its super original. Maybe not the same as Lenti 1/4 slip from PA, but still desrves attention.
I have doubts in case FS vs. Lenti Slip. FS has nice artwork and boring magnet, Lenti has no booklet but awsome lenti effect...i don't know what to do.
I am not to keen in case of double diping on this one...

@harry @Marco86 @Apollon witch one are you going to get?

Personally, I find the lenti slip to be a bit redundant (same front artwork as the steelbook's albeit diff background). The 1/2 slip is a pretty cool gimmick, just like PA's ZDT lenti 1/4 slip.

I'm leaning the most towards the full slip + lenti magnet (original GB). All 3 are nice editions to get, no doubt, but that is a movie that I don't think I'd double/triple dip on (the jury is still out on that one).

I'm sure all 3 versions will be pretty successful though.

I will go for the FS and lenti buddy. I couldn't decide between them

 

[cooey]

Think I prefer the full slip

 

[lenticularis]

I enjoyed this film although when I started to watch it I didn't think I would. However, after a time, I found myself really absorbed in the story (which I found amusing and uplifting at times) and liked the unique way in which it was filmed. I will probably appreciate it even more after a second viewing as well.

Didn't expect so many editions to be released by FA but they really are nice and that half slip is so original. I already have the lovely USA edition and I'm hopefully in the first GB but I do like these other editions and it looks like I'm going to end up with a 'flock' of these .

 

[cooey]

Other GBs are now open!!

 

[bonakaze]

GB open !

 

[SteelCollz]

And there goes my resistance, also entered for the 1/2-Slip. Man, why can't I be stronger and resist cool editions like this more often?

 

[dan8885]

GBs open (sorry ninjas, closed 2 minutes after because it was a mistake)

@harry @Actarus @Hatori @luke98 @MGD @spass @Scary Hair @TobinFrost

 

[luke98]

@Noodles @harry @Marco86 @djjez83 other GBs are live drop bird poop in the GB you want to join... I mean drop a post in the GB you want to join

 

[Paperinukke]

I was just going to join them but then poof... gone.

 

[IRON MAN]

Folks, GBs will not go live now. Please see my post from earlier:

Heads-up for anyone interested in joining the two forthcoming group buys:

These will most likely be open tomorrow in less than 24 hours. We'll update once the timing has been set. Thanks.

Oh dear...

Apologies @luke98... My post was a genuine and innocent question. I am still a "newbie" to this forum and was just politely asking for any helpful info regarding @justboy's response to my earlier post.

I can assure you I posted with ZERO malicious intent and am sorry if you interpreted my post into something different.

No buddy its ok watch it online before you buy i did that with Kingsman

 

[dan8885]

Sorry guys, It was open, I joined and posted here. But it seems like it was only a mistake

 

[SteelCollz]

And thus, the GBs have disappeared again. Will the entries up until now stick or will they be deleted when the GB really goes live?

They were just approved/opened too early more than likely. Our posts should stand I would think

 

[Paperinukke]

It wasn't meant to be open yet so it seems.

Heads-up for anyone interested in joining the two forthcoming group buys:
