Hello, i'm new here.

Are these Film Arena steels region free? And how does one pay in Czech currency through Paypal? Thanks.

I don't know if its region free but with Paypal, when you go to "sent money" via "Goods" you can choose a amount of cash you want to sent and next to this panel is another one for currency.
There you choose CZK (Czech koruna)

 

[Spacetime36]

Thanks. That's a big help.

So if i want the full slip i just put in the 699 CZK and that's it. Alright.
Now i just need to know if these Film Arena releases are region free and i'm good to go.

No buddy. At first you choose the Group Buy you want to join from the first post in this thread. Full Slip/Half Slip/Lenticular Slipcover.
You go to the Group Buy Thread you want to join, and post the amount of copies you want and the delivery country, for example "1 x to the UK please."
You don't pay right away. At one point the Group Buy Host, Karel, will sent you a PM with the invoice. Theres everything listed how you pay
and what you have to pay. Keep in mind that the copy alone is 699 CZK but it will be additional cost of Group Buy Fee and Packaging + the shipping to you.
And a Tip for the GB Host is always appreciated

Oh okay. Yeah a bit more complicated haha. Thanks again for the info.

What's a typical tip in these things? 5-10 dollars?

And keep in mind it will be shipped to your Paypal address. So make sure it's correct

And by the way, Welcome to HDN Hope you will stay with us and enjoy the community

What's a typical tip in these things? 5-10 dollars?

I generally go with a tip of 10% of the total cost (inc. shipping) if a GB host doesn't already have set charges (carllenc does not charge anything for his group buys, the applicable fees are ones set by HDN and PayPal), so I'm sure anywhere between $5-10 would be appreciated by him.

The other way of purchasing these releases of course (avoiding GBs) is to buy direct from Film Arena (as they ship worldwide) but the shipping tends to be a bit more expensive that way. They also don't accept PayPal though so you'd have to pay via debit/credit card.

Sounds reasonable. 10% it is.

I was checking out the website and i couldn't preorder barely anything. That's actually how i found this place because i was trying to find info on the John Wick steelbook as i couldn't order it on their website.

I think it might have a much more expensive shipping on the website also but i was translating Czech money to Euros to US dollars and so i don't know what i came up with. It was like 40 dollars shipping i think lol.

Yeah a lot of Film Arena's releases sell out at the pre-order stage however this one has not yet - the public pre-orders on FilmArena's website start this evening (20:00 Czech Time).
For most past releases you'll have to either sign up for group buys if they're still open, or resort to the likes of eBay etc.

By the way if you type (number) CZK to $ in Google e.g. 1000 CZK to $, it'll give you a conversion. Probably an easier way of working it out

Alright, i think i got the hang of it now. I tip my hat to the both of you.

Halfslip and Lenticular gone. I went for all 3 eventually.

Halfslip and Lenticular gone. I went for all 3 eventually.

All gone now (only add to waiting list showing), so anyone still wanting a copy might want to check out the GBs

---

Decided to pass on this one personally, while I like the 1/2 slip it would bug me far too much if it turns out the image on the Steelbook and slip didn't match up perfectly (and they don't in the rendered beauty shot).
As I probably won't want to watch this again for years (if ever), I don't mind missing out.

Where is the 1/2 slip beauty shot?

I saw this movie once and I wasn't totally impressed with it, but I might like it later on and then I would bang my head to a wall for not getting one . Also I'm obsessed with FAC releases and I don't know how to resist any of these. I absolutely hated Dracula Untold as a movie, but I loved the package too much to miss it. It's sickness I know, Filmarena fever and I have no cure for it.

In the OP.

From the OP:

Haha I really like a lot of the FAC releases too, but am doing my best to resist getting ones for films I wasn't very keen about I'm kicking myself for missing out on a couple of them (I hadn't seen the films at the time) but such is life.

TOTALLY know the feeling @Hamill82

It seems many of us have caught this extremely contagious "FA bug" that's going around! I know I certainly have...

I've been out of the loop for about a week now. Any idea when payment is required?
