For the sake of the numbers being so close, unless you are extremely OCD @wquach, I would just keep the Box too (#226/#228 is not that bad lol). If for any reason you are unhappy, politely suggest they send you a small partial refund instead of them reimbursing the cost for you to ship back to CZ, and them having to pay faster shipping out to you again in US (if you know what I mean). If they have any sense I'm sure they'd accept your proposal

Great advice Michael! Thanks

The box is delayed by 4 weeks. I don’t expect the shipping invoices for them before half of August.

Hmmmm....half of September?

So I just got my E1, and unfortunately i have to say that these XL slips are very underwhelming IMO, which is a shame because I was really looking forward to get it

 

[rockntoni87]

i´m the same opinion. with Homecoming we got an awesome release with great slips and finishes. Since they do the XL-slips i´m more and more horrified by the finishes.

 

[tommyh84]

When the sole purpose of the XL slip is room to fit the folders for the art cards I'm definitely of the opinion why bother. It's really not worth loosing the consistency of the previous releases over

In what way? Do you mean the finish on it or the extra size? Or both?

The extra size

The extra size

It was my first XL as well, I didn't mind it, but yeah, it does take up more room that's for sure!

Just got a GB shipping notice for the box

I haven't received the notice yet. Should I contact someone or just keep waiting?

Karel just got back in town, so he is just starting to ship the Maniacs Box.
He also works full time so he can only do so much during the week.

I would give it a week before wondering

Thanks for that! This is my first group buy and I'm not too familiar with the processes surrounding it, so apologies if I seemed impatient!

This is a quote from the GB thread:

Boxes were picked up the weekend before Karel left on holidays so he has all copies with him and he will start shipping them now. He returned on Saturday so I assume he will ship some next weekend. Thank you for your patience guys.

Same here. I suffered a bit of sticker shock because of the high shipping cost but it IS is a big box.

€34 for me. Tracking says it’s already in Germany

Unboxing of every edition if anyone want to see the content, not my video

 

[howarmat]

The FS XLs seem to be missing the texture that they used to have IMO. They do have a little embossing. Spot glass on the guns on the box.

I find the lenti image is once again quite a dark scene so its not fantastic.

 

[Sigill]

Big thanks to @carllenc for this! Very happy with it!

 

[Raggle Fraggle!]

First time getting the Maniac Box and im absolutely amazed with how it turned out.
I will say I prefer E2 and E3 and a bit disappointed with how flat and uninspired the treatment on E1 feels on it. Great artwork on it but I feel like it shouldve been similar to E3.

My BR 2049 maniacs boxset has just arrived.

Unfortunately it has been opened probably by customs using a Stanley knife to cut through the bubble wrap.

They have cut into the back of the maniacs box in two separate places.

This is my first maniacs purchase and I have too say that I am blown away by the quality and the finish.

Just a shame about the customs official who damaged the box when checking on the contents.
