I believe that it is their first Maniacs Box using a WWA Matte Steelbook EEK!

Maniacs Boxes have always been reserved for their insane WEA Steelbooks :bored: I don’t understand this approach.

Yes, that would make sense, but their web says 3 4k.
I did a cost comparison between individual editions vs. MB with another recent FAC release, The Equalizer 2.

It seems that FA has made an error in specifying 3 x 4K UHD for Forrest Gump MB.

The Equalizer 2. Total cost of individual editions (E1+E2+E3+E5B) included in the MB was 4296 CZK, MB cost was 4999 CZK; difference is 703 CZK.

Forrest Gump. Total cost of individual editions (E1+E2+E3) included in the MB is 4297 CZK, MB cost is 4999 CZK; difference is 702 CZK.

I imagine the Maniacs Box editions cost more because of the extra box to hold all the editions and the bonus items.

E1 is too samey. The front is great but the rear spoils it. Not sure what they could have done instead that would match the front nicely but there is no need for the bench duplication on the rear. Feels lazy and the text ruins the overall design somewhat.

E2 is ok but I think the side on running pose on the rear isn't a good idea for a still image, looks a little odd.

I think E2 has more character overall to its slipcover but E1 front is my preferred style. Looks a nice, neat and clean design.

As always, the majority of the time though these will probably look really nice in hand.
