Awesome....

Thanks for the tags @rj531 and @Scary Hair

Another very welcome surprise from FA! Getting a little concerned about whether they're starting to overburden themselves with so many FAC releases announced recently (where's Dredd hint hint...?) You know own this is gonna be a sweet sweet package!

 

[Obi Wan Dandobi]

If you haven't seen the film - the whole world's forces band together to fight.
And you do know this film was made by a German director, right?!

Yep! All 50 states!

 

[steelbobawny]

That's good news again from FAC, looking forward to this, hopefully this will have the iconic White House scene as a Lenti effect with it, I still have the Lenti card, which was given with the release back when it came out for home video release.

 

[adarkcorner]

I'm aghast that so many people whose taste I respect are excited about this. Independence Day is one of the worst sci-fi movies ever made. It makes me deeply embarrassed to be an American. More so than usual.

 

[extantsrevenge]

Yeah finally another classic title. This is amazing, I hope they will do more older titles in the future. Very happy.

Thanks for the tags @harry and @Scary Hair

Guess this means the zavvi one will need to be cancelled

 

[Maximus15]

This is definately the release to get, not sure about the ship replica set which for me would be overkill for this movie, even though I love it! Just can't justify spending the money at the mo.

It is great that FA have announced this however it wasn't even on their 2016 release list, I really wish FA would stick to their list or update their customers with new lists every time they are going to change or add to it

 

[Azur87]

Instant purchase !! Cant wait to see what they to with all the goodies I like the attacker edition to, feel sorry for my wallet this summer, overtime at work here i come...

I know the feeling. Dredd and Minions springs to mind. I wish they would complete some of the releases on the list before starting others. I might just go get the Minions steelbook elsewhere at this rate. I adore the packages, but just wish they were made slightly faster. I thought that's what was going to be happening in 2016... make them, announce them,then release them?

 

[Phantasmic]

I know we're talking about Independence Day here, but when it comes to sci-fi & aliens I would have rather seen an FAC release of the classics, Alien or Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I'm just saying.

 

[metalpaul1000]

Awesome. I'm in for this.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Watched this recently and it's nowhere near as good as I'd remembered.

The first hour is just all talk and very boring and that annoying guy with the squeaky voice who keeps saying 'David, David' every two secs made me want to turn it off.

On that note, this is one FAC I'll be passing on as I already have the Play.com steelbook and that's more than enough expenditure for this film......

Thank you for the tag @Scary Hair, much appreciated, I may have to give this one a miss as great as this will be, FA getting into back catalogue title's mean's I'm only going to pick up select one's. I'll only buy them if they are A) One of my favourite film's/I collect all or most edition's of that film, B) Different art to the one I already have or C) I don't own a top version of that film, ie upgrade from standard amaray, although no doubt this will be a fantastic release to own.

 

[harvester84]

Wonder if the GB will include only FAC or the Attacer Version too .

It's all about Budget mate, I also collect poster's/print's and I'm paying for a couple of statue's at the moment as well, so I need to plot my Steel pick up's more carefully in the future. What I tend to do now is grade potential pick ups, if something comes along and it's a must have then I'm in, if something come's along and I regard it as descent but not essential then I'll reluctantly pass because I need fund's for my top purchase's. Regarding this release, I'll try and wait for Zavvi's to come down and then I might pull the trigger.

Completely agree . SteelbookGenius666 if I had each and every FAC then other movies steels ect I do adore I would never have .

I feel the whole 1 , 2 box thing is getting a lot like milking for all it is worth . Every single relise . Still waiting with bated breath for a much wanted and needed Dredd .
