This is a forum for discussing movies, so go post your childish political barbs somewhere else (and before you draw any erroneous conclusions, I despise Trump). Of all the things that matter because of these tariffs, decisions about whether or not steelbooks ship are inconsequential.

@MM3 is right. Things are so erratic these days that we don’t know how things will stand in a day or two, let alone a few months. Since you would have been waiting right now anyway, no sense in jumping the gun and requesting a refund.

But then how will Kong escape the Island and make his way to NYC to save the woman whose name escapes me? Surely her life is more important than anything else

Actually I’m good, since I slept through the on-sale. I wonder if it’s feasible for them to move to another country, bc I have to assume the US is a sizable part of their business. At least we’ve still got Weet

Speaking of Kong, what was the price direct from Manta?

My dorkiness requires this:
1933 & 2005: Ann Darrow
1976: Dwan

Got my DL-B and... oof, you can barely see Kong. He goes from not there to I think I can see his nostrils.

DL-B wasn't my first choice but I forgot about the release.

DL-B was my first choice, thought it could be nice with the Flip Lenti on the Front and i like the Artwork and the color scheme from it. It may have become too dark at the Lenti, thats an issue sometimes. Hopefully we see some pictures from it soon.

Personally I think it was a missed opportunity, it might have been the best design if Kong was more visible however some people might like that it's a bit subtle so don't just take my word for it. The rest of it works quite well, the soldier and skull stand out and the green flare contrasts very nicely with the blue.

I'm not sure if I'll keep it so I wasn't planning on opening it which is why I didn't post pictures but I can take a couple of shots a bit later.

i mean he could be a bit more prominent, but its still a decent looking image

 

[samdavies]

That's about as poor as I was expecting. Colour grading sucks. The rear of the FAC DL is so much better than that.

DL A arriving in a few days. Hope it turns out better than B

The skull and green smoke look fine tho lol
