I haven’t joined a Manta Lab group buy here in a long time. It looks like the way group buys are handled has changed a bit. Could someone explain how to join upcoming Manta group buys in the future?

There are no group buys for Manta here, I think most of us just buy directly from them Collectors from Kwun Tong. HK SAR

You gotta be quick going direct though.

This reminds me of the Skull Island release, shipped on the 13th and delivered in only 7 days to the UK.

Only got notification 3 days before delivery though so it felt like it arrived immediately.

OC shipped on the 9th, arrives tomorrow so even better on this release.

Full slip arriving tomorrow. Looks good so far

fs looks really good! why would anyone want to sell this beautiful edition? oh, i know... the seller is an idiot or has no taste or is a scalper... no offence, just spitting facts

FS & DLA delivered. I liked the idea of the FS, but it's pretty boring in hand tbh. DLA has decent quality lentis, and the front matches Maverick well. I think it'll have to be the lenti for me.

When one side of the slip is a snapshot of Tom Cruise in the cockpit of a fighter jet looking you directly in the eye and giving you the thumbs up with the American flag acting as the backdrop, 'boring' is not the adjective I would use to describe that.

He probably means the finish of the slip not the actual artwork lol

Was someone expecting glitter?

Weak finish notwithstanding.

Full Slip looks solid. Curious how the lenti turns out on this one as for me they are the two best slips:

It does when the the rear image is blurry, the boarder is plain, and the cookie cutter embossing makes it look wierd. The front isn't much better, and there isn't anything particularly fantastic about the finish either. The only thing I prefer on the FS vs DLA is the original title font.

Now I've have them in hand I'm torn between DL-B and the FS, DL-B looks better than I expected and I quite like the rear but there's something endearing about the FS. The colour balance seems a little off though, the skin tone for the front of the FS is very yellow for some reason.

I'll post some pictures in a bit if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Okay okay jeez it's boring I get it.

In all seriousness my comment was intended to be semi facetious but I suppose the wording and tone didn't convey that properly, so I'm sorry. Friends?

I really like the full slip. The border is a course finish which I’m usually not a fan of unless used well and this is used well. I’ll post some pics in a bit

Sorry, mate. I'm not attacking you haha text is toneless, isn't it. I'm just saying why it's not for me. Quite liked it in theory, but not so much in hand.
