we all know there's some delay but they never come so close to Blufans delay, se we can handle it... and for this year FA has officially announced they were gonna focus on minimizing those delays which is so much more than Blufans has ever done, so in my book they care and show it !

I have faith in FA!! Anyway I'm happy to wait for however long for this, its always worth it and @carllenc does such a good job as well! I am just rubbing my hands in anticipation for all the announced releases: Dredd, Looper, T2, T4, Edward Scissor Hands, The Martian. I hope I can get in the GBs for the latter 4 here I'm kicking myself a little for not getting all the versions of Birdman though, that half slip is just awesome!! At least I got the lenti and fullslip coming

Lol, always with the unprovoked attacks on Blufans.

Well, at least Blufans have never taken my money 6+ months before release of their product, that's all I'm gonna say.

This is NOT Official just an estimation of past releases that contained 2D+3D Disks;

Price: TBC 860 CZK to 960 CZK(Czech Koruna) (approx. €32/36€)

That's cheap, considering the Amazon.it "naked" steelbook which was €28.

 

[kryptonite]

and then everyone will complain when it is delayed 3 months and they paid the GB ages ago

Yeah, it is better to have the GB closer to the real release date.

Hopefully, FA will do a better job this year compared to the past year which caused a lot of delays. Of course the fanboys are the only ones happy with these delays...lol

 

[Blu-devil]

Enough with the constant barrage of abuse directed at fellow collectors. If you hate FAC so much, desist from joining anymore GBs for their products.

 

[InAFalsetto]

I think it's fair to say all the retailers wind us up in one way or another ... with one major difference. Money talks. And FAC have got the pricing on point !

 

[Scarface]

There might be delays from FAC but its worth it in the end, nobody does better packages IMO

Is the 'flip flop' lenti unlikely to have a 3D effect? I assume as it's a changing image it will just be flat...

Generally if it's a flip-flop effect, it's pretty flat. Definitely true for the FA lenticulars.

 

[Tacozilla]

Looking forward to getting this one, I will probably stick the lenticular magnet on the back. I have been doing that with quite a few of the recent releases that have plain looking backs as I like to see the actual front cover art for some releases.

 

[jonnie123]

I think I'm going for the full slip. I love the artwork choices for that. Hope they do spot gloss on Matt.

Are FA doing 2 different versions then? A Fullslip version and a lenti version?

I think he is talking for Hdzeta version. FA its full slip and Hdzeta is lenticular, so he is picking FAC

Sorry, my mistake. I thought there were two versions! I guess I'm getting the lenticular too

Sorry for the confusion.

it will be similar as Mockingjay and Kingsman in regards to the Magnet Lenti

Only 1 Version as seen with the Final Beautyshot in the OP

Actarus, I'm new to Film Arena and this will be my first. Can you tell me what the difference is between an FA release and a FAC release?

Actarus, I'm new to Film Arena and this will be my first. Can you tell me what the difference is between an FA release and a FAC release?

film arena is the name of the retailer, so whenever you see fa, it is simply the company, they sell regular Czech Steelbooks, Blu-rays and other items as well...including the FAC(film arena Collection - Numbered Edition)

FAC is their line for their ''collectible fullslips numbered items'' that are name FAC as Short for: film arena Collection = FAC

So what is sought after are those Film Arena Collection line which are numbered, they do vary in the numbering as well as some packages having WEA Steelbooks or simply using the WWA Steel as they do often, like ''The Martian film arena Collection - Numbered Edition'' for Short ''The Martian FAC'', it comes with a Stunning WEA Fullslips, for this release they used the WWA Steel, Most Often a Lenticular Magnet 3rd Generation most of the time with flip flop effect which are so nice(or at times simply 3D) and Bonus Items(Character Cards + other items as seen in the picture in the OP provided by film arena)... if you look in the OP that is called ''The Beautyshot''.

So for every FAC release (numbered edition) they will provide a ''Beautyshot'' as per the OP one and you can see all that will be included in the Package. When participating with the group Buy, they are more affordable and when you love the Package, when you receive your copy from Karel, you can see how stunning they make their FAC which are part of a collection Line...

They are Fullslips Numbered Packages worthy of owning... once you will have open your first FAC, you will see first that the quality of the WEA Fullslip is very lush and all items within this Fullslip make it what we all love so well, but just having the Fullslip in hands already you can see they are very nice quality little packages... So to make a long Story Short it is an Exclusive Fullslip Package that is made by the company ''film arena'' (..similar as exclusive Fullslips made by Nova, Kimchi etc..)...but they go like cup cakes... so whenever you are interested in a release, subscribe to the thread and check your alert as when the Gb opens sometimes it can fill up in a few hours other larger titles can be days you never know how long it will be...

Hope this help if you need more info don't hesitate.
