Yeah, like it has been said, there will never be a solution to satisfy everyone. For me those bells and whistles aka booklets, collectors cards and other stuff is on the last place when deciding which edition to go for. For me It´s always Steelbook > Slip > Discs > booklet, cards etc.

corrected it for you

Great idea, punish the collectors who can only afford one exclusive by having different collectibles so that I have to choose a slip and not get the booklet I prefer or choose a slip I don’t prefer to get the art cards I really love and so on and so forth. Ugh.

I see where your coming from - but the same could be said the opposite way: why punish the ones spending even more money and getting the same extras three times?

This is why I think HDzeta have hit the nail on the head with their Boxset editions now, i.e. their DC Line. Collector friendly having just the right amount of disks, couple of steels which is enough for a OC, and a good variety of goodies including those awesome Lenti cards and hardback cover book. Makes buying the Boxset that much easier and of course much more affordable without having needless duplicates. Perfect.

On the flip side, I do understand single edition buyers can get annoyed when what is usually the best slip (that includes 4K) is limited to the Boxset only. So I can see from both sides that argument too. But as it stands, their approach to One Clicks is arguably the best set-up amongst all the premium retailers I think. Though saying that, I'd easily give Manta the edge for ingenuity and offering us never seen before products, but what comes with that are typically higher costs due to duplicating steels, disks, goodies etc etc..

Why would duplicating steels, disks, goodies come with higher price than creating original ones ?

Maybe you misunderstood me, I mean by way of having at least 3 steelbooks in their OC (Kingsman was 4x IIRC ) opposed to HDZ's 2, and having more than one 4k disk amongst their editions etc. Make sense or no?

 

[Space Cadet]

Ok No for the steel I want 3 in My Boxset

... no space for a head ???

 

[Mickle_89]

You can't have everything Ambassador @Actarus There's always FAC and their Maniacs that's full of steels for you

 

[Noodles]

Same. Been waiting on this for a long time.

Hopefully it's been worth the wait. The lack of any real quality promotional artwork is worrying me a bit though.

That's my concern too... I tried making a concept myself some months ago and failed badly. That being said, Manta are very talented and always seem to come up with something amazing, so I'm sure we've nothing to worry about.

Steelbook looks great.

Single lenti is the nicest slip.

Shame it's always the same extras in each edition within the one click though.

 

[versacheese]

Double lenti for me!

 

[DMD4k]

I'll start off the moaning, even though I'm really happy this is happening. I'm a little peeved by the different spellings of the title being used, especially on the FS, SL and OC that are using a different one to the one on the steelbook.

 

[Space Cadet]

Kinda like 'em all ... Happy if I can catch one of 'em ...

 

[Flloydo]

Hmmm. This is kinda what I was expecting

Would love the one click box on its own so maybe on the bay at some point (still trying to hunt down a deadpool 2 one click box).

Steel is cool but as for the slips it will be between the lentis. Got the full slip art on the white Japanese steel so would rather go with somthing different. Can’t decide out of the 2 yet but swinging more to the double lenti

[darczap]

I’m gonna go with the single lenti but hopefully another premium retailer will pick this up once WB puts this out on 4k.
