You need 20 posts i believe.

I don't think anyone is saying it's not expensive, but they can still choose to buy it if they want.

We've all probably spent more than we should on shoes, meals, holidays at some point or another and the fact that they are expensive doesn't mean anyone is wrong to buy them or are out of touch with reality for doing so. They get to spend their hard earned on what they like and makes them happy if they feel they can afford it.

My brother blew 40 grand on casino gambling over 2 years. I rather blow it on steelbooks.

I did not understand the comment from the GB, "Please indicate your USERNAME - TO BE SENT DIRECT TO YOUR DOOR." I assume when we pay for our items in the Paypal Subject line you put your username and name of the GB.
Also why we can only pay on the 10th, or this this just the first day for payments and when we get our invoice? I'm a fan of 24 hour payment windows because if you have a question or concern there is no time, this is how I got my 1 negative feedback which I didn't deserve and was a joke.

This might not be the right place but I'm trying to catch up on giving trading feedback to all the GB hosts that I've missed. For HDzeta, do we give feedback to both @wxlinkswd and @n3wk1d? Mostly it's xin who gives us details but the GBs are under n3wk (is this alex?) I've just been forgetting to leave feedback for our GB hosts!

 

[Threat]

Guess I didn't need to get up at 7am for this seeing as each option is still available, heh.

 

[AlienKing]

Exactly.....

Only 2?
Plain Archive (The Masters of Quality), Novamedia, Kimchi.......KOREA ROCKS....

And don't forget those smaller companies that do amaray slip boxes from Korea . Like d'ailly, Art Vision and some others. Korea definitely rocks.

In a GB like this I would leave feedback for Xin, Alex (n3wk1d) and the relevant Hub host as they will all put time and effort into getting the item(s) to us.

I figured as much @zoneism. Thanks for the response!

I'm a great fan of HDzeta but I can't see the justification for the price for the ammo box. I was going to order one 'till I saw the price.!!!!!!
I know the tags were expensive to buy, but the box is just cardboard and only contains 2 steels. It does not represent good value compared to the Nova Avengers one click.
What with all the issues with Gladiator and now the pricing of this, HDzeta are getting the wrong kind of publicity IMO.

That pet slip looks awesome!!!!

Had to tell my girl that the price of the ammo box is significant but that I can't back out of the group buy now because I'll be blacklisted. She demanded I back out but I firmly said no.
She has banished me to the couch for, at least, tonight. I'm such a cliche.

 

[nicblue]

Nice @nafosb! I got some lip about ordering the lenti as well..hang in there man

 

[Starling]

Soryy everyone, but I think I'll wait and pick up the ammo box off eBay at more likely below cost price.

Good luck with that one.

LOL Good for you standing your ground. I've been there myself, @nafosb and I always tell my wife you have to have a collectors mentality to understand. So you're banished to the couch for a night but in the end you'll have the ammo box and your girl will get over it. Just make sure you buy her something nice to make up for it.

I guess, as usual, there will be a time frame to pay your invoice, but payment starts from the 10th May.

I wish they make an edition like this for Black Hawk Down

I couldn't agree with you more! I have the steelbook for it.

 

[lgans316]

Good luck with that one.

Nowadays you get lucky with a little bit of effort at the bay.

I think this is just over the limit for me. £40 is really pushing things but I'll pay that for something I love like The Avengers, but really I don't like going over £35 for an import unless something is out of print. £45 - £50 after shipping and tax is too much for me.

That said, if the Play version of SPR didn't exist, maybe I would have gone for the PET or Ammo Box, as this film is a true classic. But since I have my Play copy, it's not quite tempting enough.

Gladiator HDZeta cost me £48 altogether which is obviously a huge amount for a catalogue release. However I was able to get some money back by selling the empty case, and it is a beautiful steelbook - the best of the year so far for me. It's a such a beauty I've actually been compelled to put it on display, and it's not often I do that as I don't have the space.
