699 CZK

Nice!!! E1 and E5 for me. E5 to match my other lenticular steelbooks.

699 CZK

Over 700 CZK ($30+USD) more, for the boxes and posters in Edition #4, seems like a lot to me. Then again, I'm not crazy about those things.

Yep $30 extra for the box, 3 x posters and a small collectible box.
Or look at HDZeta Sucker Punch release. Box is $32 more than the 2 singles(through the GB on HDN) but you get another copy of the steel with an exclusive slip, 3 x posters, 5 x postcards and the box itself with a lenticular front.

Still don't understand why people keep defending FA on their pricing. And I know that HDZeta lenticulars will be much better than anything FA can put out going by past performance.

damn would like that box (just box) from Maniacs set
well would like everything but too pricey

 

[Steelbookzombie]

Just going for E1 this time around! They all look top notch but I have to ask myself do I need that many editions of a movie! The answer is of course Yes! But I must resist...resist...

I'll probably be going for the same editions seeing as Manta announced they are doing this as well.

100 Copies? How do I go about setting an alert of a new GB thread opening?

 

[rj531]

Do we know the print run for this?

 

[Jhadur]

Do we know the print run for this?

By cunningly following the links in the OP we find that E1 - E4 are 501 per. There's nothing on their site saying how many of E5 there will be.

E1+E2+E3+E4 = 3507 steels then add however many they are putting out as E5. So I'd say at least a 4000 print run probably more.

Defo on my to purchase list. Much better than the HMV edition IMO - must have.

HdZeta is definitely better than FAC in all aspects. They have better pacing of releases, too. Consistent pricing.

so, who's feeling rich at the moment?

• Blu Fans Force Awakens 26th/27th May
  
• Logan FAC 29th May
• everythingBlu Mummy trilogy 30th May

Time to grab the gun, bullet-proof vest and ski mask and head to the nearest bank.

Hard choice. E1 is best to complete the rest of the x-men FAC's but seems the worst of the bunch, very ugly lenti magnet. E2's front artwork is the best imo, but I dont like the back art. And I'm guessing/hoping that Manta will use that front art. E3 seems interesting, with Filmarena's first PET slip. I may just go for E3 I think.

Not interested in the PET slip if it's made out of real pet. I am an animal rights activist.

That is much to large a print run. That means every edition will have 1000 copies correct? 500 for the singles and 500 of each in the maniac boxes?
Sigh, I'm not sure if I'm getting this or not and if so which one? Probably not the Lenti, that much I know.

 

[vega2k]

If the Lenti version has a depth effect on that now iconic image, it could be a turning point for FA lentis. I am hopeful based on their attempts with Deadpool and Dredd. BUT, If it is the usual flip-flop effect, then No Way!

Yeah, they are overdoing those flip-flops lentis. Most of the time they are not appropriate.

 

[nafosb]

I keep flip-flopping on the flip-flop lentis. Sometimes it's just not easy being a passionate collector.

 

[mactaylor]

Don't forget the fees on top of the box price. Ouch.

HdZeta is definitely better than FAC in all aspects. They have better pacing of releases, too. Consistent pricing.

FA's release schedule is manic, and way beyond the means of many collectors to keep pace. At least the Asian ones are at a much slower pace - and the quality is pretty consistently high.

That, and the pricing will be the undoing of FA.

Just E1 for me (to complete the set) The pet-slip had sounded like a nice change for them; but it is so bloody boring!!

So, it awaits to be seen if we can all get the edition/s we want with the manic rush the new system will impose upon us
