Haven't received mine yet but I had the same problem concerning a scratched lenti with my Chappie edition.

Seems odd that they delay releases due to quality issues then send out faulty lentis...........

 

[dan8885]

My Lenticular is also scratched all over and the Full Slip got a dented scratch above her eye.

The Lenticular looks beautiful but like from other ninjas stated without any depth or movement.

Anyway, thank you @carllenc & @Collector03601 for all your work

@dan8885 sorry to hear MAte about the FullSlip and Also the Lenticular for you as well, since it seems the lentis area wide spread issues, I would pass the feedback to film arena by email, they like feedback to improve quality of their product... and they know what HDN is, so if they ask where you got it you can answer them. But just telling them about the lenti and that it should not have been included damaged this way I think if we all do that it will have an impact over there about this. After all this was a big part of the package unique we were looking for

Good idea mate, will do that at some point over the weekend even if they don't do anything about it, at least they'll know it's something to look out for next time

 

[tono06]

especially when the delayed it to address some problems and they let escaped this important one....

 

[hansgruber]

When the quantity goes up, the quality goes down. Its the same with every retailer.

 

[urbeenjammin]

Still waiting to receive mine. Looking forward to seeing side by side lentis between filmarena and hdzeta. The pose and quality from hdzeta is a stunner and very hypnotic to say the least.

Yes, not meaning to go off topic but the transition on the Lenticular from HDzeta's is quite incredible.

Is is disappointing to hear of the issues FA's Lenticular suffers from and somewhat disheartening to those who have already received it

Will hold firm judgement however untill I have mine in-hand and am still looking forward to receiving the package as a whole...

 

[blu-steel]

I couldn't care less about the lenticular on this one. The full slip is what makes this one stand out. The best of both worlds. Have the HDzeta and this one.

 

[Aw 83]

Sorry to hear that @dan8885 @MrBMT hope this issue gets resolved and sorted out for both of use after all this wait it's not nice to receive a copy in a unacceptable condition wish use both good luck.

Very sorry to hear this. Much waited release and you get it like this. I'm starting to worry if we get such quality issues, since Filmarena has been top-notch in quality. I always open my copies and I can say I've encountered only 2 issues so far. Hunger Games had a disc missing and Kingsman steelbook spine cut. It seems Filmarena pushing so many releases will pay now as in multiple delays and quality problems.

I don't want to point anything out or wild guessing but it seems like they're put so much releases on their map that some details get rushed now. They definitely must have seen that the Lentis are scratched.
And with Karel shipping in 15 meter Bubble Wrap the Scratch on the Full Slip can't happen with shipping so it must also be from them...

 

[dan8885]

I just did some snapshots with my phone of the bonus content. Only the first half of the Booklet though...

Yeah its a moneymaker for filmarena, their collections. They're trying to pump out as much as they can it's becoming quantity over quality and the last couple is starting to show this.

 

[InAFalsetto]

Touch wood, to date all my FA items have been perfect. I hope it continues like that.

please do tell us also if your lenti for Ex_Machina is scratched as it seems way too many members making this observation...

This would be helpful if we send all our comments to Fa about way too many members with scratched lentis that will give them a sign of needing maybe to slow down a bit and focus more on quality...
