At first glance I thought I'd go for Full Slip A, because of the contrast between the white steelbook, the golden lettering and the black slip. However, it's a bit disappointing they used the same image on the front of FS A as on the steelbook. What I really don't like is the back, though. Full Slip B is much better in this regard, and the all white slip fits the steelbook perfectly, of course. But the front artwork is just terrible! It looks like a photoshoot in some fancy studio. The lenticular slip is intriguing, but as we've seen in the first pictures, it looks wobbly. I want a sturdy slip box.
The One Click is out of question, it's just too expensive and as others have stated before, neither do I need the steelbook/film four times. Also keep the weight of the package in mind. It will very very very likely receive customs' inspection and then it's even becoming a whole lot more expensive.

Well, maybe this will be my first pass on a Manta Exclusive. Still some time to think about it, but as it stands now, it certainly looks like I'll give it a pass. Will wait for some live pics, Manta surely show some before the PO commences.

By the way, thanks for the tag @harry

Still undecided. Boxset is nice if this was a different film that I don't own yet. As it is I already have FAC and BluFans.

Tbh i would love to get the boxset, just because of the box. But deep inside me i know that would be crazy, so i'll go with only one edition, probably the lenti. Maybe i'll get lucky and someone is going to sell only the box on ebay.

Boxsets are not selling well in eBay, so you may get lucky. Most of the one-click buyers are keepers. Some split them. The problem is the print run here is 2500 which is not that many for a popular film. So pre-ordering is a safe bet.

Fullslip A is definitely the worst as it basically uses the same front art with a couple of characters rearranged.
Full B is good, matches the steelbook, but the back is too simple.
Now the Lenti PET version seems better, even though the weapons cabinet on the back has been used in a couple of releases already, on this golden slip it looks best.
The box they've made is awesome, but buying 4 same sets of cards, postcards, and booklets is plain stupid. If the supplied printed materials were different, like Filmarena or Blufans do, then maybe.

I'm with @Noodles. Nothing is really jumping at me. I'm intrigued by the lenti full slip, but that video that was shown a few days ago didn't really impress me. The PET looked loose and flimsy. Full slip A is probably the nicest with it being black, but like @Lenny Nero said, it's the same art as the SteelBook with the characters rearranged. I may regret my decision in the end, but I'm going to skip this release.

Too bad the 1/4 slip is only part of the one click. Not a huge fan of any of the slips, so guess I'll have to be on the lookout if someone breaks apart their one click for whatever reason and then nab a 1/4 slip that way.

 

[larson1977]

Aside of all the comments, I LOVE WHAT THEY DIT! frigging awesome package imo

 

[paulboland]

I gone for the Lenti Pet Slip

I will wait till I see in hand photos of Full Slip A and B and if still in stock after released I will decide then if to get either Full Slip A or B

 

[milky]

Fullslip B FTW ! Check it out guys BS up for all editions! @harry @Mickle_89 @luke98 @Flloydo @Steelbookzombie @milky @SK 80 @chunk

[DJHilalo]

Nothing really oozes quality about the 1-click in all honesty, I'm a big fan of boxsets and 1-clicks but apart from the 1/4 and the box itself the rest is almost identical and unnecessary. Had they made the extra contents included in the steelbooks different and maybe put more effort into the slips I would without a doubt jump on it in a heart beat but as it stands I will just opt for 1 variant or wait for the 1/4 slip to show up on eBay/trade forum as it showcases the beauty of the WEA steelbook...

 

[Mickle_89]

Thanks for the tag @Steelselecta! Think I'm edging toward Fullslip B or the Lenti atm... But damn, 4 duplicate steels inside the boxset is CRAZY like many have already said (Along with 4x sets of the same goodies too lol?? ).

Compare this to HDzeta's recent BvS Boxset which offered a lot more diversity for your money, there's no comparison. Apart from the exclusive 1/4 slip it's the complete opposite lol and not what collectors really want IMO...

Pre-order on my daughter's 3rd Bday may not be a good idea...

 

[rhyder]

To be honest, none of the versions blew me away. But I'm most probably picking the lenti not because I think it's the best looking of the lot but because I'm a bit intrigued by the 'color changing spine.' Besides, I don't own any of the previous releases of Kingsman so I think it's about time I get one.

So true. The precedent was set by HDZeta, was hoping the others would follow. Apparently not.

Now that I figured out how the new time zone converter is working, I created yet another overview for the pre-order:

 

[rj531]

TBH, a little disappointed mainly because we know Manta's magic with slips.. the real star for me is the steelbook too bad quarter slip is only available in the 1click boxset..I might just go for lenti PET & full slip A coz didn't really like the image they picked for full slip B
