Definitely in for this I have both FAC and HDzeta so why stop now?! And damn I do love Ava...

 

[Grendel]

Love both the PET FS and the Lenti so guess I'll get both.

Cant believe this hasnt sold out yet! Especially that PET Slip! Manta have stepped up their game 10 fold and each release is getting better and better!

Pervert!

This is a much warmer response than you first had for Fight Club, so I assume you’ll be one clicking this as well.

As for me, I think they’ve done a decent job bringing some new art to the table. The back of the steel is by far the weakest link imo. Reminds me of the cheap Warner Bros. steels of old.

Might have to swap the back shell off of the original WWA steel for a white on white mashup.

Keeping my fingers crossed they don’t go full holofoil on FS, as that’s my favorite of the bunch.

My fav was the Fullslip, but sadly mantas site states Full holofoil So I’ve gone with the lenti, but still prefer the Fullslip mock up.

Pervert!

Oh boy

What?? I appreciate a good body.... Real or robotic

That's not FAC, Mondo, HDZeta, or either WWA--what on earth is it?

That's the Mongrel Canada DVD slipcover. Wipes the floor with any of the Ex Machina slips released to date.

Apparently they will print a sample of the Fullslip and decide whether to use full or spot holofoil. So it may not be full rainbow afterall fyi

I just looked over my FAC edition and it still Kicks Ass !!!
The WWA Steelbook is absolutely Superb in every sense of the way. A Pure Gem
No Wonder why the WWA won Steelbook of the year for 2015


Wonderful editions and One Click Boxset from Manta though ! But it doesn't take away the awesomeness of the FAC edition

Guardians of the Galaxy Blufans was Steelbook of the Year (Stand-alone) in 2015

No doubt! There must not have been very many made--there are none on Ebay that I can find, and aside from an old thread or two here on HDN, there's very little evidence on the internet that it even exists. Virtually all that pops up are the black Canadian slips.

I bet you're getting tired of looking at it and would dearly love to pass it on to someone else, am I right?

I got it a couple of years ago along with the blu-ray slipcover (also nice but black) from Amazon Canada. You could try the marketplace sellers, ask them for confirmation first that it comes with the slip...

Guardians of the Galaxy Blufans was Steelbook of the Year (Stand-alone) in 2015

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.1 Release date was 2014 so it did not Qualify for Best Steelbook of the Year for 2015.
In order to Qualify, Release date must have been 2015.

Yeah, Blufans’ GotG definitely won Steelbook of the Year (standalone) in 2015. You beat me to it @Apollon !

@Actarus the WWA Ex Machina won Best Finish that year (and well deserved imo)

Ok Yes indeed GOTG Vol.1 is a Kick Ass Steelbook ...so ok I am alright with best steel of 2015

But I guess I had somewhat something right for Ex_Machina (as best Finish)

Honestly those 2 categories confuse the hell outta me every year

In any case GOTG Vol.1(WEA) and EX_Machina(WWA) Kicked ASS !!!
