It's actually 4. 3 Full Slips E1-E2-E3 & barebones steelbook with Lenti magnet E5.
Thanks for that mate... I was going to join the GB and combine with another item (no idea what lol), but I guess I could do the same as you and order a copy along with someone else. How much is shipping to the UK when buying direct from their site?
Interestingly enough, the only damaged item (John Wick Maniac box) in my recent delivery from FA (tot he States) was the only one wrapped in bubble wrap.With their new Packing way of shipping in hard white Styrofoam good luck getting your FAC Undamaged during shipping(this will be a gamble)... hard casing used for Packing will not protect the FAC well - any hit to the box during shipping and if Shipping Box is dented it will transfer the shock and packing material to the FAC
They used to pack so well with lots of bubble wrap and reinforced cardboard at each end but now this new way of packing, does not offer confidence.
Definitely an interesting array of packing materials.
1583 CZK ($71) shipping for 5 FACs and the JW maniac box. Could be worse for a box the size of a mini fridge, I suppose. With Baby Driver clocking in at 1710 CZK via GB, it all shipped for less than the cost of one FAC.
Just checked for you, looks like it's around £13.50! Thats what made me pull out buying it directly.
Much appreciated.
Don't blame you mate... no way I'm paying that for one steelbook.

That's not the usual type of order that fa gets for their FAC
You really wanted to save on shipping 
I remember when you first posted the pic I thought to myself is this a 5 year old who packaged this ? But to me this was packaged all wrong 
What I meant for the new packaging, is that there is issue when the Styrofoam fits the shipping box perfectly, so any hit to the outside box will be felt inside the box.
Much appreciated.

I would if my shipping had been that cheap.
I already put in order and cancelled it when it went live Saturday night.
They certainly got creative with my order.That's not the usual type of order that fa gets for their FAC

I'm surprised they're using the styrofoam for smaller orders. Seems like it'd cause the same issues as Blufans was having with their oneclicks in foam blocks, but worse because styrofoam is so rigid.
Just one more reason to go the GB route if at all possible, I suppose.
I can mate but its for the unnumbered editions (this and Alien Covenant) and GITS which anyone can order from their website but makes sense to add as many items as we can into one order to take advantage of cheap shipping. Now got to sleep.
Still really don't know what to do with this release. Really do like the front art on the spidey slip but I might just go for the steel on its own
I've been trying to work out what the back art of each slip will be by the spine art on each slip. I'm probably well off but here's my guesses and if I'm right then the vulture slip will have the better back art (imo)
The blue sky on the spine matches the only poster I can find with sky on the right of the poster. I might be very wrong with this one though
----------------------------------------------------
This ones a long shot because there's a few posters with green trees and buildings but out of all the ones I can find the right of the poster matches up the best with the spine. Like I said I might be very wrong with this but that is a pretty crappy poster imo
There were quite a few of these made with spidey around the world so who knows (some are so bad like the Chinese versions lol)
---------------------------------------------------
I think this one is a definite because it matches up perfect with the spine plus makes sense with just iron man on the front
One thing I've noticed with film arena slip spines is they are darker than the actual image and the above spine is slightly darker than the right of the below poster
I think there will be some minor editing from Film Arena anyway. What does everyone else think?

Wish vulture slip was the back of the spidey slip, like a good wraparound

Exactly this looks nightmarish
Think I might go for E5 this time if Karel is going to do it. Slip is ok but not really worth the extra cost, but the steel is HELLO BABY!
I bought 2 x of Spider-Man E5 and a copy of Alien: Covenant barebones and it was 470czk postage. 2467czk total for all 3 steels delivered. Which at the moment is £84 delivered for 3 x WEA barebones steels which isn't too bad.
This three slip setup reminds me of Blufans Civil War and Novamedia AOU WEA. It’s clever but I can’t help but feel a little manipulated. Like they’re being greedy.
I’m glad the Spidey slip will be cheaper since it’s not 4K. I don’t have a 4K setup yet. I wish Blufans had shown their hand before the GB but with their awful WWA, FA’s WEA easily wins.
Bring on the beauty shots!

I think you hit the nail on the head with those rear artworks. Going by the spines anyway.
I'm going try for a Spidey slip. You know FA will have texture and spot gloss. I think the colours will pop and it'll look amazing!
