[IRON MAN]

I wonder if Filmarena will use this embossed German steel unboxed below or the flat one like Zavvi's when they release the FAC in the year 2073



What do you think @bloodsnake007 ?

@IRON MAN am I correct in assuming the King Kong mentioned is of the Peter Jackson variety and not the long hoped for, highly sought after, dream never realized classic from the 30s?

 

[IRON MAN]

@jaws finatic Peter Jackson's.

the closest we have come to so far to a premium for that is this edition from HMV. it's only a slightly jazzed-up amaray, for what it is, it's a good edition. disc and extras are solid.

Years ago, I grabbed a boxed DE version, that included a hard clip board packaging of extras, with metal clip thing,,

Aren’t you referring to Peter Jackson’s Production Diaries?

Hey, ,, managed to find this...
Not 100% sure what BR was in DE version.
Can't look right now, still not unpacked after a couple of moves,,,

 

[Behold]

@jailbird_joey, forgive me but I don’t think this included the actual film?

 

[jailbird_joey]

@jailbird_joey, forgive me but I don’t think this included the actual film?

Maybe, seems to be several versions...

I did pick up a black steelbook around that time, larger size,, maybe even a DVD.
Have to finish unpacking some boxes....

So many simple, but cool possibilities with packaging...for what we pay, should be getting a lot more effort and content.

 

[Behold]

@jailbird_joey I actually had that exact release, which was a region 1 import and it’s never came with the film.

I also had the Japanese version with the Kong Bursts Out WETA sculpture, which also didn’t come with the film.

I’m really looking forward to what this FAC release turns out to be as I don’t have a good edition of this.

Envisioning something in the vein of FAC’s world class “Dino Treatment” on this FS XL

Pre Order Date 17th September 2020. 14th September 2020 for Collectable Numbers.

 

[IRON MAN]

Over 5 years to get this edition to fruition. This better be the mother of all King Kong editions. And no, just having a fat slip is not good enough.

From FA:

Dear Collectors,
let us kindly briefly inform you about the current schedule of events for the end of August and September.
We currently have both editions of FAC 137 ALLIED ready and we are waiting for the delivery of hard boxes, which are to arrive together with SHAZAM hard boxes at the end of August. So as the first we will be dispatching the ALLIED premium editions in the first decade of September. Then the BB7 13 HOURS expedition will join and in the middle of September, we will also start the expedition of FAC 136 SHAZAM editions.
We apologize for the delays caused by the holiday, not only at us, but also at our partners, and also cause by the worse planning of disc deliveries.
As for the September pre-orders, we are preparing one premium edition of the FAC 139 KING KONG and three premium editions of the FAC 140 JOKER with a hard box gift for those who order all three editions of the JOKER.
For October, we should launch pre-orders on the FAC 141 CASINO and on the cult trilogy BACK TO THE FUTURE. We have been warned in advance that this trilogy might have a longer approval process, ie it may happen that in the pre-order schedule it is moved towards the end of 2020 to the nearest free spot.
