How much do you think they are going to charge you?

If the item is legit I only need to pay the customs fee, otherwise a fine. I expect this to be in the same amount as I bought it for, maybe a little bit more. The item will also be destroyed then.

This is getting a bit out of hand now, and certainly very expensive for you. Any one clicks or 2-4 premiums will just attract too much attention...

The normal customs fee is fine. Of course it would be great not paying it, but that's the risk you need to take. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes not.
The issue is mainly with items from Hong Kong. Other countries I have less problems with.
This week I received Sicario with no problems at all. Last week Reservoir Dogs.

@TheCollector86 @rschiks "Held in customs" doesn't necessarily mean it's actually withheld. Other than parcels from Korea, this is a regular entry in the tracking log for shipments from Hong Kong. It might very well go through customs this time. Stay positive, at least as long until you got an official document stating otherwise. ;-)
(Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!)

You’re right. Checked it with other tracking numbers I had. When it’s really kept by customs it will have the status delivered.

happy days. double lenti in the house, and it's very good indeed, certainly better overall than i thought it would be. lenti quality and steel itself are two best parts for me. not too big, either (for those interested, it fits an SCF4).
View media item 25190great shots above from @cooey @Flloydo @Hereticz @duckandrun and others , that box looks as good as i thought it might. but here's a few more for those interested . good luck everyone if you are trying via other methods!

first off, that double lenti - sharp, crisp, subtle, well done. unedited video looking at both sides:
View media item 25188the overall package has that reassuring feel of all Manta products - well made, with a fine attention to detail:

but the surprise is the steelbook itself. great repro, high gloss, super embossing - seeing the beauty shots, this was the least interesting aspect, but i was very wrong there:

interesting to compare it to my old steelbook, which now seems incredibly dull and lifeless!

the booklet's OK, repro could be a bit higher on several pages, just photos:

the overall package is great - a limited number of cards, but the lenti and steel make up for that (will go well with my Mondo vinyl, too, nice one, @Flloydo):

definitely worth a second look if you passed originally.

You guys think there is a chance of this coming back at their site?

 

[howarmat]

think it was already mentioned that most copies would not be back in stock

There will be no restock of double lenti or box edition. Maybe other editions.

Yes.

Fight Club is all shipped and this time, we were on time! We are working very hard to meet the schedule with our releases and thankful that everything was produced on time. We have few copies for the restock and we will post them back on again with the next pre-order.

They are posting every version but the quantity will be very limited.

 

[Bungral]

Ok so it seems there is really varied messages in this thread about a restock.

We've been told that the DL and OC will not be coming back and also that ever version will be back but in limited stock.

I guess we don't know the definitive answer.

Do we know when the restock (whatever it actually includes) will be?

Hi Bungral,

​

So, they'll more than likely restock Fight Club once their Justice League pre-orders go live next Friday (April 20th).

I hope this helps!

The few copies will be gone in seconds. I am already preparing for disappointment by looking in a mirror and telling myself, "You will not be able to get a copy and you very well know it. Move on."

Stay positive buddy... you could be one of the lucky few. And if not, then let the hunt for a copy begin! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
