Well today’s the 7th, let’s hope we get a meaningful update which actually updates us on their releases

 

[Hereticz]

lol, utterly hilarious "update"

Dear Collectors,


we greet you and wish you that the year 2025 will be as pleasant as possible, that you will be healthy and satisfied.


After a long pause, which we also used to prepare our next plans, allow us to share them with you.


Last year, we didn't release much and communication wasn't very good either. The truth was that we didn't know what we really wanted. After parting ways with our long-term team and moving, we needed to create a new facility from which we would be able to serve you film editions and other collector's products.


We don't forget about the editions whose release was announced. The pace of release will be slower, but we want to complete all editions. Next in line for you, we are preparing the FAC 174 THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION edition, which should be followed by the FAC 172 and FAC 173 editions. If we manage to finalize the agreement regarding the discs, we will release these editions with discs. We want to inform you about the next dates later, so we will always include 3 editions in a row in our specific plans and after their releases we will prepare a timetable for the next three editions.


The year 2024 was another important milestone in our history, when we began to deviate from the main focus on film editions and concentrate more on other products with higher added value, attractive to collectors, but also to ordinary customers.


We want our products to not only make people happy, but also give them the opportunity to preserve value or benefit, as well as the opportunity to multiply the finances invested in this opportunity in the future.


It took us a whole year to plan well which collector's series we will prepare for you next. It was at the expense of delaying the film editions, but we believe that after further presentations of these options, which will first be offered to our loyal customers, you will understand.


For April 2025, we are preparing the first collector's item for you, which will be unique in several attributes and which will be a pilot project for the transformation of our story called "from wheel to wheel".


We will have further information for you on January 10, 2025.


Thank you for your support and cooperation.

With friendly greetings,
JC on behalf of the FA, BB and TL teams

So, we still dont know what the new "wheel" is

Update on another update on 10.1.2025

So basically the only relatively valuable info is that next title is Shawshank and MAYBE it will contain discs.

LOL

"the transformation of our story called "from wheel to wheel" - all i could think was, so that's why your partners left...
Congratulations on your ability to ignore emails FA - and once again giving no concrete information and no real apology.

 

[jailbird_joey]

Too busy on the new JAGUAR campaign?

 

[samdavies]

The fact that they're saying shawshank will be next, and it may actually have discs now is about as positive as that "update" could be for me. The sooner they release that, the sooner I can forget about them lol

I'm in a really vile mood today, after watching the crappy Golden Globes (except for Jodie Foster, Colin Farrell, and Demi Moore wins), and this defecation of a letter comes along, so I'll pour all my bitterness into it:

After a long pause, which we also used to prepare our next plans, allow us to share them with you.

No, why don't you take another year, FAC'ers.

Last year, we didn't release much and communication wasn't very good either.

The truth was that we didn't know what we really wanted.

How about releasing the already announced and paid for up to two years ago titles! You FAC's!

After parting ways with our long-term team and moving, we needed to create a new facility from which we would be able to serve you film editions and other collector's products.

Did you build a printing press from scratch, all by yourself, from an online manual, employing only that one last one-armed zombie cripple that still occasionally packed the new orders for in stock items?
So that you could make all the slips and cards in-house within a few days - THE ONLY things you had to make, having no exclusive steelbooks or even discs?
No? Then STFU!

The pace of release will be slower, but we want to complete all editions.

Slower than NOTHING in a year? You trying to win an anti-race with Italian ponzi bandits CineMuseum and Rarofilm? 'Cause you're already winning! STFU!

The year 2024 was another important milestone in our history, when we began to deviate from the main focus on film editions and concentrate more on other products with higher added value, attractive to collectors, but also to ordinary customers.

Like what, spare parts from your previous and existing editions, like Lenticulars? STFU!

We want our products to not only make people happy, but also give them the opportunity to preserve value or benefit, as well as the opportunity to multiply the finances invested in this opportunity in the future.

Oh, like you 'multiplied' the value of your own prior editions, and started scalping them at 5× the price, suddenly finding older first releases to sell? STFU!

It took us a whole year to plan well which collector's series we will prepare for you next.

So that 'plan' of 32 editions, 3 per month for 2022 wasn't enough? STFU!

We will have further information for you on January 10, 2025.

Oh, so in 2 days you'll suddenly have something to say, but after a year you didn't? STFU!

 

[Pieta]

In my case, I applied for an overseas dispute with a credit card company in October and received a cash refund in December.
I heard that it's just a stomach bug without any comments or apologies about why the release is delayed.
It's been almost 2 years since I ordered it. I don't want to read your email requesting cancellation.
I was so disgusted that I borrowed some credit card company power...
I don't think we'll ever live here. It's going to close soon because it's about to go out of business.

 

[ethnosax]

The. pace. of. release. will. be. slower.

I mean... There is no pace! The pace is nothing! A company that couldn't do one thing is now going to be can't-do-something-else-ing, too. I love this.

"If we manage to finalize the agreement regarding the discs, we will release these editions with discs."

IF ...

Speaking about discs. When they released Predator without discs, did they not say they would issue a small credit for the trouble? I don't think I ever saw the credit in my account

No, they didn't. Not for Predator, but they said they would for following FAC titles. The "IF" here should be no surprise, they announced FAC#171 onwards will be discless early last year.
