I couldn't have written it better. First year, FAC was something exclusive and special...with many interesting titles, customer-friendly prices and behaviour. Then Mr. Cikánek had probably some kind of inception that they should make as much money as they can at whatever cost. So now we have a company which is releasing every **** in (wannabe) exlusive edition, releasing so many titles every month that the exclusivity is long gone and company that is also banning people for different opinion, taking away their still collector's numbers and witchhunting for selling their editions on eBay etc. And this actual edition is yet another huge **** up. A regular steelbook that is not selling well, so lets take it, put into some box and sell for twice the usual price. Same case as Last Stand, Ted and many others. People still buying it and I can't understand why. Big ironic applause.
2 tips for you: avoid FAC threads and don't buy them.... ;)
 
I'm really disappointed over this one. Disappointed that I'll probably have to pull out of the GB for a first time too.

I really wanted this and I'm sure the final overall packages will be amazing but I can't afford to buy it twice. Which is what you have no choice but to do if you want it to fit in with your collection.

There should be at least a one time bundle discount price for those who purchase both copies seeing as the way both these double packs have been packaged.

I was willing to overlook the high asking price for catalogue title, but this is just too much now :(

Any chance FA will have a second look at this @Collector03601?

I'd be surprised if anyone will purchase just one edition on its own
 
The slips aren't the best and they actually look like FAC have gone backwards in design as these could've and should've been so much better. Perhaps a possible rush job to get these out.

However, I love these movies so I cannot pass on them.
 
This should be the front art for Ex 1 -

And then either of these two for Ex 2 -

Those are fine, for seperate editions.

My problem is it's a double pack but each individual slip only advertises it as either part 1 or part 2. Which is misleading. And which looks ridiculous if you only buy one, which I can't see anyone doing.

Why can't they just have an 'Expendables 1 & 2' slip option?

I love these movies too. But €38 EACH (before shipping)? It's just an insult.

It was always advertised as a double pack so that doesn't phase me too much in all honesty. Of course I would've preferred to see separate editions but this wasn't an option from the outset.

And they're never going to do a slip for 1&2 combined as they would lose out on the monies
 
i think despite some average releases the did some really good ones. Krampus, X-Men Apocalypse, Maze Runner, JW, Looper, i really like the Fantastic Four one. Am i overwhelmed with all releases by the other retailers? No.
For myself i really like the releases from FA. Although the could slow down a little bit
