this company has been striving since 2015 with the launch of their FAC line putting out quality release after release showing no stopping them and all of a sudden it all Stops. I’d like to know what the reason is because it just doesn’t make any sense. There were a slow down with Covid but expected them to just pick right up and go again but it just seems like it’s the end.

I’m still holding out at the mo but I’m getting closer and closer to asking for a refund on the 6 orders I still have with them.
There’s been no update and I can’t see anyone being able to contact them now.

Would you know what happened with The Blu Collection? They were doing great stuff through KimchiDvd and all of a sudden they disappear???

They turned into TheOn Collection, who are still in operation. They just haven't released a steelbook for a few years. Fair few amaray fullslips though.

For FAC maybe, not so much kimchi.

They've faltered because they've had mostly sh!t titles, rising costs, and studios pulling distribution from their region. Most people don't want their overpriced WWAs, with limited variance in catalogue selection, which has essentially crippled them.

I’ve done the same, I can’t imagine what the BS reason for not going ahead with it now that they aren’t even bothering with the discs.

I know the reason - they can't print any cards or slips:

Another countless example of a company expanding too fast to handle. Instead of releasing 6/7 WWA every preorder, they should've just focussed on one WEA title at a time.

We are currently still waiting for an update. There wont be any copies ready for us this month so hopefully a bigger update will follow in September.
Sorry we dont have any more positive news.

Thanks @carllenc appreciate the update and no need to apologise as I know you’re in the same boat as the rest of us.
Hope you didn’t mind the ask it’s just I thought you may be more aware of what’s going on with their side of things.

Is there any update? I did a group buy, and if the issue is not resolved soon, I'm at the point of doing a chargeback.

Essentially I just want them to release Shawshank, the last of my preorders, so I can wash my hands of them.

Shawshank, Clockwork, Edge of Tomorrow & No time to Die for me.... I wish them to end business in 2025 with or without these released. All these releases lost their momentum imo
