I was stuck deciding between grabbing just the 4K DL or One Click. I'm not generally a musical fan (as I hear many say the same I know) but me and the GF (children too!) LOVED this movie. They've seen it more times than me and are often singing the chorus to their favourite song, "This Is Me"

So a Premium One Click for a film you love seems a no brainer, right?? Inevitably I ordered the One Click hehe...

Now however I'm feeling a slight buyers remorse at $183.52 lighter...

This is an example when I'd like Manta to implement HDzeta's tactics (or similar) and say lose 1 Steelbook, subsequent disks etc and just make us an ULTIMATE EDITION ONE CLICK without any needless redundancy. As much as I like the look of the One Click in all its glory and appreciate they're trying something new with the interior "pop up illustration", I can't help but think it's pretty stupid to have 3x WEA steels, 3x regular 2D BD's and duplicated goodies across each edition... Price could be dropped significantly by getting rid of the excess and thus, make it a more viable purchase.

No debating whether to cancel and just settle on the FS

You know you did the right thing knowing your family sings along to this. OC all the way!

Maybe... It's likely this has just come at the wrong time more than anything. Imagine this child's playbook is my wallet...

That's exactly how I feel!! And we have Pans Kimchi tomorrow too... August/September has been brutal lol.

 

[Mickle_89]

@DMD4k And I still stand by my previous statement in wishing Manta made One Clicks more "collector friendly" lol And we don't even have the OST!!!!

 

[DMD4k]

That part is true, from a collector's standpoint, but then again only HDZ does that.

Full slip shows as sold out

Have you considered emailing them to see what they say?

I can confirm I already sent John an email this evening buddy Figured it worth a shot and I'm interested to hear what he'll have to say. Will report back once I've heard.

I wouldn't mind seeing different goodies too.

Fullslip back in stock

 

[Mickle_89]

All still in-stock (and every edition of Ex_Machina bar the FS too )

Yeah how they didn’t include the OST in the 1Click is totally FUBAR. It’s a dam musical for fukk’s sake. c’mon!!!! O is that why the SteelBook is a 2 Disc hub? They actually planned on having the OST but I guess something happened?

Most likely not. It's a 2 disc hub because the slip carries two discs and they probably didn't want to have two types of inserts, so they kept it uniform across the board. That doesn't mean you can't use it for the OST though

 

[Mickle_89]

Still waiting on John's reply regarding my "offering different goodies per edition" question...

 

[IRON MAN]

Here's why there's no OST with the One Click and I, for one, don't mind not paying an extra $15

We wanted to include it but it will increase the price by $15 so we gave up on the idea.

We had to buy the disc as a retail item from the record company.

Such a shame and a great opportunity missed. We are already paying a premium for this and I would’ve happily paid $15 for the soundtrack.

Personally I'm glad they didn't include the soundtrack, since I already have it (got it for less than $15 too).

This is why I think the one-click should've been a music box instead of a pop-up. We could've heard the music while the film displayed without actually having to play the soundtrack.
