Both look amazing! Kicking myself now I didn't get in on the unnumbered as well

I know what you mean but it was so manic I had no hope!

 

[Noodles]

Both look amazing! It's going to suck trying to decide which to open and which to keep sealed.

Open the numbered edition and keep sealed the unnumbered

Open the numbered edition and keep sealed the unnumbered

That's what I'm currently thinking, but I guess I'll decide once I've seen them in hand.

What's so special about an unnumbered edition? Is it more collectable?

For me, it's the better artwork out of the 2.

 

[Aw 83]

Both great packages from FA hard to decide the best looking from the two.

 

[Maximus15]

396 copies the unnumbered edition.

I see so even though they don't have numbers they are more limited?

Yes, the Un-Numbered Print Run was supposed to be 1000 and numbered 2000. Due to unforeseen circumstances(as they received a huge part of the steels damaged), they had to do the best they could with what they had. So they reduced the print run for the numbered edition from 2000 units to 1000 units. For the Un-Numbered edition, they could only salvage 396 copies. It was the best solution. So if you look at the beautyshot of the Un-Numbered edition you will see it states the print run of 396 making it more limited. Although the numbered edition is very well sought after since the print run was cut in half. It is not film arena's fault, they received damaged copies that could not be replaced. Nice quality control at least we know each steel inside a fullslip will be in Mint Condition.

Woah thanks for the detail dude!! I hope FA got compensation from the steelbook manufacturer!

I got another question but I'm going off topic a bit so will post it on the FA thread.

The numbered edtion is sure winner for me the unnumbered looks too much like the steelbook itself.

As the unumbered version has less copies than the numbered one, it will harder and more expensive i guess

 

[tommyh84]

I prefer the Kimchi full slip over the unnumbered FA personally (they both pretty much use the same artwork)

I fear it's too late! But never lose hope you never know someone may not pay for their copy and maybe karel will give someone else a chance.
