Hello!
How easy/difficult is it nowadays to get in on a FAC release? I've created an account and requested orders for Inception and Jaws--should I try to get in on a group buy as well? Do I stand a chance with either of these releases?
I'm new to all of this -- HiDefNinja, Premium steelbooks, FilmArena, everything. Is the release date specifiied on the listing the same date that I'll receive an order confirmation?

Welcome to HDN.
Generally speaking, with releases such as Inception and Jaws where the print run is very limited and the movies themselves are well received, it's nearly impossible for newcomers unfortunately to get their hands on it via the website.
Group buys would be the way to go but that's also far from guaranteed if the GB doesn't have that many copies, plus it's first come first served basis.
The best way to stay up to date is to subscribe to the release threads of the titles you're interested in, by clicking on "watch" at the top right side of the thread you're interested in.
To get more familiar with GBs on here, have a look at the thread below and feel free to tag or PM a mod if you need help.
Ninja tip: How to purchase a steelbook from a group buy
Hey, Since this will be my first GB I wanted to know, how exactly the buying-process works. Do I have to post the version I want in an reply-post in the GB-thread when it comes online or is there a kind of shopping cart I add the version to and check out like in many online stores? Kind regards...www.hidefninja.com
Thank you very much for the info! The Jaws group-buy is listed as 'Open' but the buton in the top-right corner says 'Unavailable - Out of Stock'. Is there any way to tell if this has sold out or if it hasn't actually properly opened up yet?
Here's a direct link to the group buy

That's a Black Barons release. Not under Filmarena.What happend to Doctor Sleep?
My mistake. Thanks.That's a Black Barons release. Not under Filmarena.
No idea but I do know that I live in N.Ireland and I can no longer order on any European site or even amazon outside the UK and I can get no answers from none and this crap started two weeks agoI was looking on the FA website and noticed a lot of the prices had changed slightly - presumable due to Brexit (I'm in the UK). Out of curiosity and put an FAC in my shopping basket and went to check out, to see what the end price would be, and noticed that shipping is currently 1366 CZK (as much as the FAC!) and using Czech Post Economy Parcel (it's always been via DHL in the past). Anyone know if this is a temporary thing due to Covid restrictions or if it's going to be like this from now on in?
Thanks
All shipping prices to UK went sky high from anywhere in EU. And the same thing vice versa. I really do hope is temporarily.
But remember, you will have to pay addition l20% if I'm not mistaken when buying from EU
I'm guessing it is probably Covid related then - seems it probably started around when they found that new strain which hopefully means it'll return to normal at some point. In terms of the 20% - I guess that it means EU retailers should knock the VAT off their prices (which is why the FA prices seemed cheaper) only to add the 20% back on at checkout, not sure though. It's a bit of a bl**dy mess at the moment, all very confusing!No idea but I do know that I live in N.Ireland and I can no longer order on any European site or even amazon outside the UK and I can get no answers from none and this crap started two weeks ago
