Seventh Son (Blu-ray SteelBook) (FilmArena Collection #37) [Czech Republic]
- Thread starter carllenc
- Start date
I'm taking about members who have collectible numbers higher than the print run but still got a release in the GB
GB List and got a steelbook with a number not their collectible number simply because it was not available due to lower print run
Example mine is 390
I have Steelbooks with lower number simply because I got on the GB list for that steelbook regardless of what my number is
Some of mine are just double figure numbers
I have the previous low print run Elektra
Limited to 301
I got it simply because I made the GB list
There has been GB for all Film Arena collection releases regardless of the print run
Karel gets allocated with each release from the print run
Lot of members have got these even though their number is higher than the print run
They got what number Karel gave them instead
You make the GB list and get what is available from what Karel been provided

I know that's true, because I don't even have a collectible number, but I've gotten several items from Karel's GB's that were under 100. But I thought his "yes" response to the question about these going to the first 350 collectible numbers meant that this release was going to be treated differently because the print run is so low. Have there been FAC GB's for anything with such a low print run?
Yes the previous one
Elektra limited to 301
Karel had 100 copies from that print run
I have it because I made the GB list
Wow, okay. So there might be a decent chance for the average slob without a collectible number to get one
.
Right so why do people have collectable numbers if they get any number from the GB?
Or do you guys with collectible numbers have to order directly from the site to get the same number again?
None of this affects me but it all juts sounds a little odd
Also odd that they make print runs lower than their collectable number idea/ process! Surely if everyone with a collectable number wanted a particular release then eveyone who still has a collectable number after that print run misses out and then everyone else who don't. Seems pointless to me having a collectable number if on some releases you can't even get it and get random numbers anyway
And i get that Karel gets what's he's given and it's not his problem to sort out collectable numbers but again it makes the whole collectable number redundant don't it?
So is elektra the only one with such a low print run?
Both my FACs (Birman and John wick) are lowish numbers too (194 + 201)
It will all depend on how many copies Karel gets and how he decides to run the GBWow, okay. So there might be a decent chance for the average slob without a collectible number to get one
That's why I asked the question and tagged Karel
Will it be whoever gets on the list or be like Last Stand pre decided
Wow, okay. So there might be a decent chance for the average slob without a collectible number to get one
Seems that way! Good for eveyone I suppose but not if you have a collectable number. Very odd if you ask me
Wait I must of missed that too,
How comes it was pre decided? or Was that because of collectable numbers?
Website and GB is different
I only use the GB never ordered direct
All depends on how Karel runs the GB and how many copies he gets
Elektra was limited to 301
Karel got 114 copies going by GB list from that print run
The GB then whoever got on the list got a steelbook and lot would have been not their usual number
My collective number is 390 I have that because of the GB I joined
I got Elektra steelbook simply because I got on the list before Karel closed that list
It's in the GB he can't guarantee your collectible number you get whatever he has available at the time
That was decided on members who purchased majority of the film arena releases and that was for these members only so the list was pre decided with option to accept or reject the offer
Paul I get that you got that number(s) because you got on the/ a GB list lol
Just seems pointless to have a collectable number if you can't get your collectable number
(And I know website and GB are different. I know what a GB is and I know how karels operates with being assigned an amount each time and driving to Prague to get the copies. All that I know and get, what I don't get is why people have collectible numbers if your not guaranteed that number and why they make print runs smaller than their own incentive collectable number programme or whatever they call it)
I'm not expecting you to know the answers but I'm just saying, it's interesting and strange
When Karel runs a GB open to all and you make the list you get your steelbook from whatever Karel gets most times it will be your collectible number if Karel has it if he don't have that number it's whatever he has available you get
I have a few that are not my usual number because either it was not available or the print run was lower than my usual number
So I'm wondering will this be like Last Stand pre decided or be an open GB to whoever makes the list
Elektra was an open GB and all who made the list got the steelbook
114 copies Karel got that time
Elektra was an open GB and all who made the list got the steelbook
114 copies Karel got that time
Most people didn't know what FilmArena was at the time. FilmArena was not established and the quality of their products was not known. The FilmArena Collection was new and it took a little bit for it to catch on.
Hence, demand is much higher now than the demand was back when Elektra was released. The 350 print run is ridiculous unless FilmArena is strictly limited to that number for some odd reason.
God I hope it isn't the 5th wave, what a waste that would be! In my humble opinion of course!
