Good to hear I wasn't the only one who thought thisThis is how I feel about minions.
Despicable Me on the other hand is great movie and Steve Carell as Gru is fantastic character. I hope Filmarena does Despicable Me at some point, but yeah, we went to see Minions to the theatre and it was kinda mediocre. Not bad, but not great either. Overall interesting to see what FA does with this animation release. I'm sure it's another impressive package, we'll wait and see...
LOVE the Minions, this a must have for me, can't wait to see what FA come up with for this package
I have a strong feeling it's gonna very impressive and will surprise a lot of people. From the upcoming titles, I actually wait Terminator 2 and Minions the most. I love animation very much and even though Minions wasn't the best of the genre IMO, it's still the very first of it's kind as FAC. What a great looking set this could be...
I hope to see some great artwork for Scarlet Overkill by FA.
They should make a photo album or artcards with all 899 Minions 
one for each MinionThey should make a photo album or artcards with all 899 Minions
They should make a photo album or artcards with all 899 Minions
I think they should make the print run 899.
Separately or together?They should make a photo album or artcards with all 899 Minions
If you're thinking separately, it might be a little bigger than your average photo album 
film arena better get there finger out there bum this is only 7 weeks away still no art and not even a sniff of a gb!
at this rate we will not see this till week before xmas if we are lucky more likely be in the new year bear in mind all the other fac releases and delays that have happened on the other releases which seem to be more of a regular occurance now, which is a shame.
we haven't even be told this still plans to be released on time tbh look at unbroken thats still not happened months after planned released date as well, which magically falled into the abyss of now not set, after i pointed it out in the thread for it!
think fa has taken on too much to be honest
look at the ones below with still unset dates
king kong
jurassic world
sabotage
various xmen steels
various fast and furious steels
not trying to be negative here but fa need to get there plan set out really and follow it and not fill in with others in between which to me is where alot of these extra delays are now getting added in and other releases not happening along the way. otherwise people will end up just getting hacked off with them.

I feel you.
I always thought less is more.
IMO FAC should slow down. Think long and hard what to release. Help us collectors to keep up. I fear in some day people get fed up with all the myriad releases and lose interest. I know my view has changed a bit. But it's only human. I am literally running out of space to collect all the steels etc. lol.
But do not take me wrong, still love FAC and appreciate work Karel do.
Well you guys act like they have control over all the aspects of their releases. It's similar to construction work. On a big project you have to get the ok from multiple people before you can move on. And that sometimes sets thing back. If one person in says no you have to rework things and such.give them credit. They release very nice editions for a very reasonable price. Then you also have the delays that could happen in manufacturing and such. Would you prefer then to release something that has a defect just to keep their release date?
hand down perfect releases. but delays cannot happen all the time. that's just not good business.
Film Arena has not taken on too much. They don't release many when you compare them to zavvi. I don't know about you, but I would rather buy a large variety from FA than zavvi. IMO I would love to see at least 3-4 releases per month from FA. I don't see people complaining about zavvi releasing 10 titles per month on average.
the problem is chip they keep adding titles when ones in there plan have not been completed first surely it would make more sense to actually finish what they start? examples whiplash there are many more added in titles as well, which seems there manufacturing all the little bits spread a bit too thin and then as a consequence we get delays because 1 bit isn't upto scratch and hence delays. where as if they just did 1 title at a time we could get less delays.
yes im up for them doing 4 a month no problems if they can deliver on time but so far the delays have been getting more common the more releases they do or have you not noticed the link yet, because to me it is becoming far more apparent. maybe i'm the only one who is seeing this?

Well again if they set a release date and a company they hire to manufacture one of the things that go in it says they will be done on x day and then they come in and are not to liking they either have to delay the product release or use what they consider inferior things. I look at it from a construction point you build something and then the homeowner comes in and says this isn't the way it should be and you have to change it. However you now will go past your finish date because of the change. The only other thing they could do is not say anything about there upcoming products tell everything is done which I don't think any company does that.
