It's really a shame. I missed the GB, but got one directly from Filmarena which sold out in seconds. I knew it would be another fast one, so I did practise in advance to make the purchase. Many may think the one who types fastest will get one, but the secret is not to type at all.

There's always other routes to get a copy than GB or Filmarena pre-order. By getting connected to the right people, may help to get what you want.

Oh, so your one of Filmarena's "friends", aye? How many copies did you buy?

They are both nice editions to have in the collection as I to have both of these beauties in my collection aswell.

wasn't there some sort of issue with the Hdzeta one ? I remember reading something about issues for this release or am I just mistaking for a different one ?

 

[hatredhorror]

main issue was that scalpers got 350/350 copies and (almost) everyone had to pay ebay prices

I got 2 copies from my friend and one directly from Filmarena. HDzeta I had to buy from ebay.

No I seem to recall that there was manufacturing issues, but it could have been with a past release maybe JFK ?

In Any case, I just thought about it and I am happy with My FAC Version, I will pass on Hdzeta even though nice, I have the FAC which is Stunning and also a couple of UK Steebooks so I think I should focus right now with more on the ''new releases'' side of Things...

Feel the same, I have My FAC Releases and The Regular WWA Steels(had bought that as a pre-ordred way before FAC decided to do an FAC FullSlip Edition out of it)...I am Satisfied with Just my FAC like you say, for me I don't need to multi buy different releases for this movie.

I love this movie and would love to own the FA version some day.
Currently own a Euro steelbook and it's gorgeous, but that fullslip on the FA and all the extras really add a lot to it.

It's true. It felt like the HDZeta version went straight from their depot to the bedrooms of scalpers.
