You think we will get a more precise time before the time on Tuesday? I'm gonna be bummed if I miss this.

Probably not

 

[Hereticz]

E1 and E2 have higher print run I think those will be managable directly, not sure about E3 though, which looks really great, it is fully loaded, and only 500pcs.

I will probably go only for E5B as I just managed to secure beautiful HDzeta which is much more appealing to me (regarding slips). So Im gonna have HMV fully loaded Mondo, WWA in stunning HDzeta lenti slip and superb FA WEA alone, that´s enough for me, geez this movie making big bucks on us collectors

yeah, would be nice, when they could tell us a precise time. I skipped E5B, because I wanted a more premium release and now I have to fight to get a copy -.-

Hey guys,

Group buys for E1 - E4 will be opened on Tuesday 27th of March 2018 between 18:00 and 20:00 UK time.

I suggest to subscribe/watch the GB section of the forum so you will get notified when these new GBs are opened.

Thank you + good luck to all

Very helpful! Thanks for the heads up bud.

 

[Deckard99]

Just so I'm clear E4 is the maniacs box right? And are the prices above finalized and include shipping?

 

[howarmat]

prices are the webstore pricing and shipping is not included

Karel confirmed he will be getting what he was getting for the latest GBs so thats 40 copies of each edition.

Why so few? Tactic to encourage people to buy directly?

 

[Actarus]

E2 was always my least favourite slip, but I never really gave it much thought as to why until you brought it up... what you said rings true with me also - it doesn't quite have the "BR vibe" you mentioned.

All that being said, which slip is your favourite mate? I'm hoping to snag E1, but I have a feeling I'll miss out, as I often do with these FAC WEA releases.

I love E1 and E3 Slip. Not very fond of the Book Artwork for E1 and Character Cards. Dunno if I would get it for just the Slip + Steel but I'd say my favorite is E3(but it will be the most expensive one)

Why so few? Tactic to encourage people to buy directly?

So few because FA asked Karel to give back a bunch of still collectible numbers he owned for the Group Buys. They wanted to allocate more numbers to individual collectors to allow them to order Direct during their pre-orders for those who own still collectible numbers. What is the difference I was asking myself ? I think it might be because Karel was not able to fulfill fully the Group Buys lately, so FA doesn't like to have unsold pieces after the still Collectible Pre-orders and having to sell them afterwards. Maybe it is not the reason, but it is the only thing that I can think of that makes sense.

Hopefully will be limited to ONE EDITION per person.

That would make it fairer for everybody....

The FAC Group Buy rules for a while now do have a limit enforced of 1 Copy Per Member

 

[Raimi]

@Collector03601 will the members whose coll.number were returned to FA be advised about this? The ones who remain don't have any advatage to enter the GB? I missed the Gladiator because of a card problem and I'd really like to avoid this. Not your fault of course, but I feel like crap because I purchase alot of the FAC, even those that sell only "20" copies (apparently one of the reasons for the numbers returning to FA).

Anyway, to return to the subject, E1 is my choice

Yes I know.

But if you go for say E1, then you shouldn't be allowed pick up another edition (E2, E3 etc....) aswell.

Never did a GB for Filmarena before. What does shipping typically cost to the U.S.? And there are other fees, Paypal, GB fees?

 

[tommyh84]

Sorry that's just nonsense, what's next? You got FA's Blade Runner so you shouldn't be able to get Manta's as well?

I'm all for limiting 1 copy of each edition per member but to make someone have to choose just 1 edition is nonsense

Price listed on the GB listing is inclusive of paypal fees etc, but you have to pay shipping in a separate payment when you are ready to get your item(s). It's quite reasonable for a shipping cost, IMO.

 

[Actarus]

Yes I know.

I personally don't see anything wrong with being able to purchase 1 copy of each editions. All GBs are set up this way.

You can't do that lol
It will be one of each edition allowed
If someone wants to get E1 and E3 nothing wrong in doing that they are different slips

Limit of one is to stop someone purchasing 2 copies of E1 as an example

You could do a restriction if someone purchases E4 that they then can't purchase E1 or E2 or E3 as E4 includes E1-E3 already
That's up to the GB host to decide
