Look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing your pics buddy Box looks so f*cking awesome

Cine-Museum is a regular authorized dealer that allows companies like Manta Lab to distribute their products, even those that do not go immediately sold-out as Fight CLub.
Cine-Museum offers a preorder service with discounted prices and a lot of time for payment.
I also remember that Cine-Museum regularly pays taxes on sales, unlike the private Group Buy services used to secure extra copies to resell at higher prices on ebay.
It would be good for users to be better informed about the crime of defamation before writing.

Oh please, don’t know about Italy, but in US particularly in my state a yearly license to sell and pay sale taxes costs 100$, which is nothing. And those taxes are paid by buyer anyway.
Honestly, i have nothing against CineMuseum or any other reseller, it’s a market and if people are ready to pay their prices - good for them. My question is to Manta Lab and other retailers. Honestly, wtf is that. And please, do not tell me that they are helping them to sell out, because they order their copies way before pre-order date for normal customers. If Manta wanted some help to sell out and respected regular people at the same time, they could for example ,wait a few days after official pre-order date and Then sell those copies to resellers. But no, already highly limited and wanted release goes for official preorder probably half or even more Sold Out.
And I’m not talking about group buys with direct shipping from manta lab, those are limited to 1 per customer and goes to collectors. So that’s fine. I’m talking about 20-30 copies of each edition that goes to one reseller

Haven't bee around much and glad I haven't missed the restock of this. Was originally after the DL of this but that OC is ridiculous.

I'll try to keep an eye on this but I'd appreciate a tag in here (if anyone remembers) with any news just in case I miss it.

Also, what kind of group buys are you referring to?? I hope not Hi def ninja ones. Overhere we get direct shipping from retailer in most cases, and those extremely small fees that we pay are going to HDN, and I’m sure it’s perfectly registered company that pay its taxes. Also, i’m perfectly fine in paying the small fee for a site/forum that created such a great community and is very supportive towards members of this community.

Can anyone post a video of the single lenti? Or is it pretty bad? (Similar to WW single lenti....)

 

[Cinephile]

Totally agree with you Maksym.

 

[Aniv]

Enough of the fake suspense. Put up the restock already, God Almighty. Sorry if I sound a mite aggressive. I really want this.

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

Definitely not referring to HDN as we report ALL revenue and pay taxes and are in good standing etc. Always have been, always will be. We don't play around with that.

Well that sucks. Still not paying CM’s $100 + shipping though!

 

[Wreck]

alright guys and gals I got an offer that you cant refuse.

I will trade you 3 soap boxes with soap inside! for just 1 of your manta soap box and you can keep the stuff inside! My 3 full soap boxes for your 1 empty! Better hurry this deal wont last long.

I have clearly talked about private Group Buy so create a controversy with Hi Def Ninja does not make much sense.
I understand users who have accused Cine-Museum because they ignore how much work is behind it to support the preorder service, create exclusive editions and distribute independent films.
The only thing you want to see is the sale of a few copies remaining from Preorder (often deleted by users).

Cine-Museum's feedback speaks for itself and it's time to start accepting the fact that customers and collectors can not know the dynamics of stores.

My suggest is to live this passion serenely and take advantage of the many preorder systems offered today to not miss out on all the Asian stores.

Good collecting to everyone.

As i can see, it’s completely pointless to continue this conversation.
Thanks for your hard work and good luck with the business, i honestly hope to see your own real nice releases in the future.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing your pics buddy Box looks so f*cking awesome

Finally opened it and had a ganders

All the slips are excellent. Both the lentis are the winners but the full slip is cool too, just happy they didn’t holofoil the whole image (holofoil is around the outside of the faces, on the title, In the spot in the middle of the hand on the back and on the writing)

Love the fact the double lenti is transitional and has depth. The switch of the characters in the pink section is very clear and crisp. Love it

The single lenti was the one I was worried about but the lenti is crisp has great depth and I like the rough feel of the back.

Steel is lovely in hand too and very happy with how it’s turned out. Embossed white title looks class

And I do love the one click pink rubber box but mine does have these strange marks all over it and it’s proper flimsy when it’s empty (it also attracts loads of fluff and dust due to it being rubber) but the pink colour is perfect and the embossed title is awesome too.

I’ll check everything properly tomorrow in sun light and get some photos

Can anyone post a video of the single lenti? Or is it pretty bad? (Similar to WW single lenti....)

Can’t post a vid but it’s turned out very good considering it’s quite a dark image

Bummer. Thanks for the info, anyway.

Thanks for that @Flloydo

The ones on eBay are not that expensive, taking into account the customs fee and shipping from Manta Lab one has to pay.

The ones on eBay are not that expensive, taking into account the customs fee and shipping from Manta Lab one has to pay.

Most customers don't end up having to pay customs fees when ordering direct from Manta as they mark the value low on the Cn Label
So ebay prices are very expensive compared to ordering direct

Lowest price on ebay double lenti is £65.00 + £12.00 shipping = £77 in Euro = €88.45
Ordering direct from Manta price in Euros was €33.00 + Shipping €12.18 = €45.18

Lowest Ebay price is €43.27 more expensive than if you ordered direct as in nearly double the price
