@carllenc @Collector03601

I noticed on my SOC pm/ship notice and Ted 2 Flash GB that I have been gave a Collectible Number - #338.

Any confirmation if this is true would be appreciated. Also, if that is my number does that count for filmarena.com or just here on this forum?

Cheers,
-Rob

It would only be for here unless you contact film arena and discuss having it transferred to you there but then you wouldn't be able to get them in the gb. It's one or the other.

 

[metalpaul1000]

my last 3 orders in the GB have been 410. Does that mean I have been that collectable number as that would be sweet!

New to the whole Steelbook collecting and this forum. Just wanted to ask, is this site trustworthy for shipping to the US? The version of Sicario on here is delicious.

Oh yes, you can also check out the GBs (GroupBuys) on this forum.

PS Welcome to HDN by the way and look out for strange people like @bloodsnake007 DS

 

[ajdornier]

Hi everyone - also a newbie to this site and Filmarena. I have never ordered from them before so I created an account and was looking to do a pre-order for Ted 2. But the pre-order button doesn't do anything...and I also don't see that waitlist button. Am I missing something? Thanks!

 

[SlimJim24]

how do we campaign for them to FAC harry potter? haha

 

[JackRegan]

Because the intention is not to lighten the load but to clear the warehouse of unsold stock.

And at a premium price, whilst keeping costs, and extras to a minimum. Grrrrrr . . . . .

Alot of distributors want favors .... like, can you help with me this? And if you help then you might get that next great title. BluFans does the same with OAB. I dont know if that is BB true intention , but on the subject figured I'd mention.

I know for a fact it happens, and happens to many, even Zavvi in the past.

Of course it happens, anyone wold be very silly to pretend otherwise.

But despite all the waffle, BB is FA in a different suit; and is basically a clearance store with premium pricing.
The new titles are merely pass-overs from FA.

If they come up witth something really interesting and worthwhile, I'll eat humble pie.

 

[AlienKing]

So this just happened. I login to FA to order Deadpool and I couldnt order it; then i noticed my collectible number has changed to something over 1000. I was confused. And then check my email and i find this...

"Dear Sir,

we are very sorry but You didn´t react for FAC 47 X- Men edition
if You agree or reject the edition which means that You broke the
rules and unfortunately we had to removed Your collebtible number. And we
are very sorry but because of rules if You lost Your collebtible number we
cannot get You the number back or get new number.

We are sorry for inconveniences."

Anybody aware of such a rule existed?

 

[rj531]

which title could be FAC #50 ---Forrest Gump, 10 Cloverfield Lane or the highly anticipated Dredd..i would want a WEA to celebrate the milestone 50.

 

[smabu]

@AlienKing I saw on another forum that this happened to someone with an assigned FA number. I don't think they realised it was a 'rule' either.

 

[Ranavalone]

@AlienKing @smabu

From filmarena-eng.com, FA Collection, Show Rules for selection of collectible numbers (link at the bottom of the page):

If an user accepts / rejects by the deadline the still collectibles number is kept for further editions.

In case of passivity, ie. the user does not select any option, the still collectible number forfeits.

 

[Jawcrc]

Yes it is a rule if you read the section it states you need to accept or deny during the pre order period otherwise they remove you and assign the number to someone else.

which title could be FAC #50 ---Forrest Gump, 10 Cloverfield Lane or the highly anticipated Dredd..i would want a WEA to celebrate the milestone 50.

I believe dredd is number 50 as that what was mentioned on the Facebook group however things could have changed since then

@smabu @Ranavalone @Jawcrc
Well, that sucks. Sure, i missed reading that rule, but I always thought that if i didnt choose an option that it'd be an automatic 'reject'. It's not that hard to implement such a system. Oh well. My loss I guess. Thanks for clearing it up guys.

Yeah I think I've seen a couple people recently lose there numbers not denying them. I hope you can work it out and maybe ask if you can get on the list to get another lower number
