The thing that makes me really pissed is not the delay. It's the Fact they announce 5-6 New Editions when other are still not finished because of some problems.

Called trying to milk the collectors as much as possible. Maybe if FAC slow down a bit they can concentrate and get things right one by one rather then rushing them all out at once.

if delays are a consistant thing then yes, they should slow down and concentrate on one thing at a time, agreed.

However, am a bit of a noob with FAC's having only owned Birdman so far (this deadpool release will be my second dealing with them)

The way I look at it is, if the manufacturer has put a delay on some part of a steelbook package, and fa didnt have other steelbooks on the go too, instead of twiddling their thumbs waiting on one lenti for one release they get right on with things they have to do on other releases, so they're constantly working on multiple releases but there is nothing they can do when it's a supply problem, so they just multi task while they wait.

One thing I don't understand though is why the John wick box took a year? (If that's a correct time scale I read a post about the box, I never bought that one so it's not a first hand experience ) a year does seem an extremely long delay, what on earth could have taken a year I don't know?

 

[sunnyx]

In any form of collecting delays are inevitable. If you preordered say a statue from sideshow there's normally like a year waiting and then say another 3 months delay.

Maybe we should compare this with HDzeta and see what their delay is before you can even preorder lol

Just received my edition 1 today, nice high number, quite impressed.

The "fancy" shoebox. Somehow it took a year to get it right.

Oh yeah, .. lots of foam if I remember correctly.. maybe getting the right foam set them back a year

This is out already, did we get invoices for this from the gb? I've still got it written down in my bills to pay.. am I getting confused in my old age?

Yeah all have been invoiced.

 

[chunk]

Yeah all have been invoiced.

Thanks for the reply

I'm not all there these days I remember paying for independence day resurgence and recently paid for krampus.. unless the invoices haven't come in for resurgence and it was deadpool I paid for I'm normally pretty good with keeping track of these things. did we pay for resurgence? if so then I now have £40 to put towards the upcoming blufans disney releases.

The build quality still looks below par to me. Top left corner on the spine and ridge on the back look awful (Even the cut line at the top isn't straight but I won't mention that. Ooops! ).

Fair to say the difference in price is minimal when compared to the singles but I'm still glad I've not dipped into FA's HardBox's. Front looks well done though IMAX artwork is awesome.
