Another stunner by Manta.
Steelbook is amazing although im not massive on the back image and the front of the double lenti is fantastic. The glow transition is hard to capture in a picture but looks so good in hand. Really decent depth too. The back is just pointless

The back is just pointless

I’m no fan of double lenticulars (even though I have a few, worst of them being Blu Fans Big Hero 6) and it looks like in this case the back could have been left without one. Still, it was the only Lenti version so I had to get it. Great photos @Flloydo

Hello ,

@a1helios , @Balraj , @CoffeeTyrant , @cqdunham , @golomidov_alex , @LAURENT GASTON , @olivier chiappe , @PHD , @tamdin , @thegodfather1129 & @Warmachine


As the deadline has now passed the following members will not have their packages shipped until November 25th as Manta will be closed for vacation from Tuesday.

I simply cannot continue to ingest the cost of unpaid shipments.

Thanks to everyone else who has paid, your payment status should be reflected on the spreadsheet.

Best,
Aniv

@Aniv, @Apollon

Apologies for missing the deadline. I am not visiting the site as regularly as I used to due to other priorities. I have just made the payment via Paypal but totally missed to add a note. My Transaction# is 62219017GY4606929.

Once again, am sorry to have missed your message

next time it would be cool if it's mentioned that those of us who do the GB will get theirs weeks after everyone else

I don't want to speak for the host but maybe late payers have something to do with that.

nope, we all got our shipping invoices few days ago with a two day window to pay.. by that time most who ordered directly already received their editions... but i knew this was going to happen, so it was np for me personally

I ordered direct and I've yet to receive it, so far I've just been admiring photos here, the wait is worth it from what I can tell

 

[howarmat]

Yeah I dont have my direct order either. Seems some are just very impatient for no reason...

Nature of the game I guess. Wanting something in your grubby little hands ASAP is part of the collecting bug. I’m okay with delays as long as I get a reason for them.

 

[Radagast]

I think aniv mentioned that he sent Manta Lab one complete list of the GB copies when all editions are ready and not to split up the list. This should explain the delay imo.

 

[Aniv]

Anyone who has issues with when and how the GB orders ship should not join any future Manta Lab GB's. Even direct orders take up to 7-10 days after release of EACH AND EVERY EDITION for the title to be shipped.

Here is how the GB works, after your orders are placed through the GB I request for an export of your paypal info to create a shipping list in a specific format. That can take few hours (4-5) hours or longer to check each and every address and make sure its formatted correctly. Once that is done I send the entire list singles/box sets etc to Manta to get the shipping rates.

Once I get it back from them by 3-4 days (they pack the individual orders and assign tracking numbers), and I add the Paypal fees on top of that and send everyone a message with a 3-4 day deadline to complete payments so I can send it to Manta to have it shipped out.

Single editions are usually available first from Manta (USUALLY) and Box Sets are available later due to whatever reason (material issues / packing shortage etc). I only send the complete list after all editions are available to be shipped.

Anyhow I dont need to go into any more details, please continue to purchase direct or from wherever you like if you dont like the wait. If it is any consolation I havent received my personal set either.

Their mommies indulged them too much when they were little tykes in their formative years.

 

[Balraj]

Apologies for not paying on time. Paid now. Totally slipped my mind as I have not been checking in on the website or paying attention to my e-mail account. Sorry Aniv.

It seems the only steelbook seller we're allowed to criticize now is everything blu. anything else people take too personally. all that needed to be said was "GBs from Mantalab take longer"

@Aniv @cooey I will always choose your GBs over direct shipping because I know it's the best and safest way to do it.
