I gotta have this and I'll get rid of my German steelbook trilogy.

 

[Lenny Nero]

This one's for me, as I skipped the Quartet of Torment edition, having the previous Scarlet box, and only wanted UHD discs. I think it's already cheap enough at £11 each.

 

[Lone Crusader]

I'll probably be picking this up once it drops over at Amazon. I like the fact that it's a set of four and not still a trilogy, I always thought that Bloodline should have been teamed up with the other three from the get go. Presently I own the scarlet box and the uncut German trilogy steelbook so I'll be able sell the German steelbook once I get this.

 

[Lone Crusader]

Well, I waited long enough and Amazon still doesn't have it and I don't want to miss this since I was too late at trying to get the Quartet of Torment edition I decided to go ahead and make my purchase. Weird thing is, Zavvi wouldn't give me the option to ship to the US and HMV doesn't ship to the US so I created an account over at Arrow Films and made my purchase there. So, I'm in like Flinn, Yayyy! Once I get it I'll either sell or giveaway my German Trilogy steelbook edition, besides, I already have the Scarlet Box. I've also been looking at Lament Configuration boxes trying to find a decent one I can display with this. Etsy seems to have some pretty good ones.

Thanks but no thanks I don't feel like spending $650 for a box especially since there are others much better for way less. I've had my eyes set on this one Here for quite a while now but always looking out for one even better. They've been around for much longer and the level of detail is quite good.

i like the cool snow effect on the arts

Well, being around longer doesn't necessarily mean anything. They may be fine. I'm just relaying that the one I got is top notch.

You said you bought the Leviathan right? Do those come with a stand or a case? I don't mean to steer things off topic in here but that Leviathan one I wouldn't mind seeing that, do you have a photo, I mean if not that's cool I just wanted to see it? I've also been considering some of those schematics I've seen of the standard cube too.

Yeah- those schematic posters are cool!! I have though about those too!
Keep in mind- I am not trying to steer you in any direction. It is certainly possible that Puzzled Boxes are great, and HRBOX is overpriced. I have no way of comparing unless I get one from puzzle boxes. (Which maybe I'll do as a test- since I never have too many lamen boxes!)
I took some pics so you can have a look. (Fyi- pictures not repeating- just showing all sides)

Impressive, a numbered edition no less. That is badass! Amazed at how detailed it is. Definitely worth the price, I can see.

No problem!!

 

[Lone Crusader]

I just have to say in regards to Hellraiser, the first movie, where Frank has escaped from the Cenobites. That music that they play as Pinhead and the others make their first appearance is like the best opening for a movie iconic villain ever. I mean every time I watch that movie that scene sends chills up my spine.
