Would it be possible to get some clarification for some of us who own the 1st Maze Runner FAC release but didnt get it in the group buy. Its just wondering really where we position in the priority as the original GB and FAC complist collectors were mentioned but there wasnt any mention on owners.

Thanks

Sorry that my comment sounded negative to you. That was not my intention. Of course every collector is worthy to get this edition. I only wanted to point out that I purchased my copy from Karel and not anywhere else.

No worries, man. Just wanted you to know how it sounded on my end. I just think FA should make this more accessible for their fans.

Yes, that would be the best solution for us all.

Yeah, i'd love to know this as well. I really understand that people who were in the first maze runner groupbuy should get first chance of buying this one. But it is really frustrating that I, and others, have bought maze runner though other means (the bay for me) and are not able to get this release. Except by paying a lot more again, just like with the first maze runner.

I would love it of people who actually own the first maze runner, and can provide proof, should get a honest shot at buying this release.

That all being said, i don't think there is any way of doing this without stepping on some toes. I wouldn't want to be in @carllenc and @Collector03601 's shoes. Good luck guys! I'll just see what happens. Just gonna add a fourth title to my "missing FAC's" list i guess.

Thing is with releases where only selected people can obtain a copy, there is no chance for others to get on this exclusive list. Therefore others have to pay over the odds on eBay or trade in several steels to get a copy from other sellers. Don't get me wrong I would love to be on this list and love to own this copy. However it should be a first come first served like kimchi or nova. Arguments are gonna happen and inevitably resentment if this continues. I like so many other ninjas collect all FAC releases but because we are either 'late ' to the fac game or don't have funds to buy every release we will miss out on these types of releases. Maybe a rotation system for those who haven't been on the list previously could get the next one.

I guess this one I will buy it on ebay, because I've bought the first one directly from FA website, and since I have a number that allows me to get almost every title directly from FA I rarely use Karel's GB. Too bad, because it matches so perfectly with the first one...

I'm sure if your number is below 501 and you purchased he first from film arena you will be able to purchase the first from them and not eBay

If they went the route of kimchi or nova then they would have to scrap there whole collectable number system and people would not like that as you don't have to buy all the edtions to keep your number and the edtions you do are the same number which for me I love that. I know I have a few that arnt the same but the Majority of mine are. People keep complaining g about how this is limited or loyalty issue well that is subjective the ones from the group buy is loyalty for the people who join the Gbs all the time or as you know have a certain number that they recieve every time from Carl. So those would be he ones with first shot at getting this. Then it comes down to who has purchased the most from Carl's Gbs. That's the loyalty portion of this. Just like through fa I'm guessing since its numbered anyone registered with fa and has a collectable number below 501 will be offered this from them. And then the wait list are the ones people decide not to get from those numbers. So after all that if there's any copies left it should go to people who have the first one. It's not hard to take a photo of your first one and show if requested to do so either. Just my opinion. I think the last to loyalty releases worked well. Shoot I'd prefer that style for all the releases myself. As I almost missed out on the good dinosaur due to work just barley got in on.

Just my two cents on this matter (ignore if you don't like):

I can understand that everyone is anxious to get a chance at claiming a copy from this exclusive GB list, but just be patient. @Collector03601 and @carllenc are doing what is humanly possible to secure as many copies as they can for us here and have their hands full coming up with a fair, yet organizable way to create a list of participants for the GB. By replying here, answering every single question for where one stands on the priority list, this just creates more work for them as much as they'd like to answer these, I'm sure. But even they don't know yet how many copies they will get and if they even can plan on further compiling a list beyond those original GB participants. When they know more, they will share it. As for what the general priorities are, this outline was already stated:

Hi all,

To members who have been or are planning on contacting us about group buy for E1:

It all depends on how many copies will be reserved. As mentioned in my earlier post priority are members from the first Maze Runner GB, then depending on how many copies Karel will get lists from TLS and SS will be used to add more members.

Therefore we cant accept any new requests, because we dont even know if all members from those lists will get a chance.

Thanks for your understanding

Yes, I know this does not say anything specific about your status when you have bought a copy from another seller, but since this will be a very limited GB and if there are more spaces than copies for the original GB participants left to go around, they will surely go with those who are known to be collectors of FACs and cross out any known reseller. However, due to the limited amount of copies and the connected workload, they won't be able to include everyone. We know that. But I'm sure they will handle it just like they did with e.g. Last Stand where some users had to provide picture proof of previously bought FACs. Whatever the solution they go with in the end, turns out to be, I am 100% sure they will have done everything in their power to include the biggest possible group of us here. Just be patient and maybe cross your fingers. But everyone now asking for an update on a personal level doesn't help at the moment, I'm afraid. Both knowledge- and work-wise. Please take this into consideration as I'm sure @Collector03601 and @carllenc will appreciate it, thank you so much.

Also, this helps to keep the thread a bit cleaner for real updates to be posted soon. Or soonish, right, @Apollon?

I purchased the first one from filmarena's website, but I was on the waiting list, as my number is not below 500.
Now, with all people who collects FAC, I know I have a very small chance to get this one directly from filmarena.
I know @carllenc and @Collector03601 are working very hard to give us everything we want, and I know it's a difficult job to decide who will be in the GB, so I keep fingers crossed.

Spot on Furthermore it may help Karel & Martin if they weren't tagged so often in the posts as they are probably inundated with alerts from this thread alone, let alone the PMs they are likely getting! Moral of the story...... chill guys, all will become clear soon, I'm sure they are both working their nuts off trying sort this for everyone they possibly can.
