Going to have to pass on these, liked the first one, but the other 2 were a watered down mess in my opinion. And what a waste of Chuck Norris in the 2nd one.
Be interested in the Beauty Shots though

 

[Jnavotheman]

I'm also gonna have to pass on these. FAC is releasing too many titles and now they have fallen into the Zavvi territory where they have become "When everyone is special, no one is."

 

[IRON MAN]

@Apollon can we cancel if we don't like when the beauty shots are shown ?

Yes. I was wondering this too. Or at least swap between editions?

I'm going to put my name down for Edition 1 for now but may need to change that depending on the BS.

I know it's a headache but Martin and Karel usually DO let us do this afterwards.........

Yes. As usual when there are no package shots released.

They should be criticized. You want people buy the exact same steelbook in two different slipboxes, you can afford to price them at 699 CZK and no more (I remember when Ex_Machina FAC was at that price, one of their best slipboxes and it was a new film too, Whiplash was 599 CZK and that'd be the logicial price for me given how FA is just shifting unsold copies here...)

Agreed.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

If the release is January 30, 2017, I don't know why the GBs need to be open when there are no Beauty Shots?

 

[Bodhisattva]

Any of the usual fellas know when the "beauty shots" will be revealed?

[BluSteel2012]

Bit confusing. Both contain parts 1&2? Or will they be individual?

 

[BluSteel2012]

Slip artwork revealed @Steelselecta @harry @cooey

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Yes...The Steel is 1+2. Hopefully FA don't a sneaky and remove the disc

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Underwhelmed by the artwork...Easy pass now.

Steelbook has 2 Discs
Both films in the Steelbook

 

[BluSteel2012]

Designs makes me want to buy it twice now as they'll look like individual editions on the shelf! Crafty FA!

It was obvious what FA were doing with this one...

 

[StifflersDad]

Absolutely no regrets passing on this.

You HAVE to buy it twice. Or else it will look like you either have parts 1 and 3 or parts 2 and 3 in your collection if you only go for one option.

Not sure what to do now.....

 

[BluSteel2012]

Maybe option 3's design will show both....

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

OMG, They are doing another one

 

[StifflersDad]

It was obvious what FA were doing with this one...

This is clearing stock and profiteering on an almost embarrassing scale. Ridiculous . Dressing the double movie as individual single movie editions. They couldn't even be bothered to source the appropriate steelbook for each edition.

Yeah, silly...That's why many went for the Hardbox
