I am so stressed out now in regards to the tightness of the HardBox and the possibility of one numbering card indenting on the other fullslip within the Box.

If someone Opens up their Box, PLEASE give feedback in regards to this.

me = :ugh:
 
I'm not excited that you can buy, what I think is a WEA Steelbook correct?, separate from the 2 FAC editions and Boxset. Especially after selling us the FAC copies, now the Steelbook becomes incredibly less limited and the FAC editions become less collectable. If this were a much more sought after title I would be upset instead of just irritated if I'm right and this is a WEA SB.
 
Judging from the pics, the quality (finish) of the Hard box does not look very good. However, it only was 101 CZK more than both single editions...
 
Got my Love Rosie Boxset today and here's some close up pics of the quality as promised. @Apollon @Maximus15

Cardboard texture clearly visible.


As are the overlap folds from one face to the other.




A slight rough cut to the paper edgings.


The shrink wrap so tight it distorts the box.


And mine wasn't straight.


All in all disappointed with this boxset compared with the John Wick Maniac Box that I have. Hope these improve as I have the Sicario one ordered.
 
still can't wait to have feedback to know if the numbering card of one edition will have made an indentation on the other fullslip so closely tight together

This is one reason why numbering cards should not be used. I don't see any reason why they can't just go with the number on the bottom. No reason to have it numbered in 2 different spots.
 
I think people are forgetting that we are basically getting the extra box that holds this for about $5. The other boxsets were much more.

Take the John Wick Maniac box for example(this is the only other FAC box I have so can't compare quality on others). OK costs about 500CZK more for this than the 2 separate editions but the box quality is vastly superior, printed board rather than board wrapped in printed paper. You also got a t-shirt, a mug, a poster and a notepad. I hadn't forgotten that there wasn't much of a price difference I was just saying that I was disappointed with this one compared with the previous one of there's that I own. And in another thread people had asked about the quality.
 
The Maniac sets actually went up in price by a considerable amount as well though. They were closer to 1000CZK increase for the boxset over the two single editions. I think they are trying to keep costs down because I think they realize they hit a ceiling on price points collectors are willing to pay from their store. Everyone has to be doing a bang up job these days in order to get the money out of collectors pockets. It will only keep getting worse as people lose their jobs.

ON a side note. I am offically semi retired. YAY. No more 6 months per year of fishing for this guy. 1 month per year and the rest is just dealing with my store.
 
Happy for you @blu-steel ;) But I think this is the last time I get those Boxes, if I want extra I'll get more single editions. I just hope by the time I get my Boxes that my editions inside will not have been damaged by the numbering card. And I agree with the quality of the Boxes, being FAC and their continuous improvement/focus on the quality, I am sure they already know about it.

Thanks for the tag Mic. As expected by the previous mock-ups, sorry to see yours was not in such a good shape besides the poor quality.

@Maximus15 Look up.

True. If they are going to do it though, then do it properly, otherwise why do it at all? It is also worth nothing that these boxset releases encourage collectors to order multiple editions when they otherwise may only purchase one edition.
