I'm excited for fury road, the crow and django.

Since so far they're doing the Sony spiderman movies I hope next year they do the Raimi Spiderman Trilogy

 

[Flloydo]

I see Manta are back to every 2 weeks again! Ffs

Meh, good film but the steel and slips don’t do much for me. As for the rest of their lineup. The crow? Come on, just scrap it now Manta. Don’t waste your time. Couldn’t care for that new F1 film either but happy to see Django, Fury Road, Black Hawk Down, The Shining and Mickey 17 on the list.

Rest of the lineup is pretty poor to be honest and don’t really do much in terms of excitement. Even tempted to skip a couple here

One of the main issues Is going to be art though. Top Gun, Shining, Crow and Black hawk down are going to be so limited on art that I just have no idea how they’ll get 3 good looking editions, a steel and box out of them. Plus I really don’t want to waste money on a Crow premium lol But we’ll see.

Also just getting a bit bored of the whole 2 DL editions each time now. I really miss Single Lentis. It’s too many lentis with Manta which I’ve always found a strange choice of theirs as they sometimes aren’t the best and their strong suit is clearly Full Slips

At least there are no mystery transition lentis in this release. But I agree, the ML SLs were the best.

Agreed. Not to mention some posters/artworks (particularly their back arts in most cases) just simply don't work as lentis.

thats the neat thing: they wont

Plus I really don’t want to waste money on a Crow premium lol

Thats the other neat thing: but you will

2 FS to choose from ftw

This will look amazing on a Top Gun LS to match Maverick DL A.
Also hope they do both parts of Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning.

And this could be the other DL:

Don't change anything. Not the creases, not the Australia promo.

Where are the Marvels of the MCU? I'm still waiting for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Black Panther 2 !

I'm not so sure they're eager to have releases which really struggle to sell, how many copies of Marvels and Wakanda forever do you really think they can move?

Marvel/Disney movies are not part of the ME line.

 

[Mararagan]

Do you guys think Manta will do the whole Spiderman movies like Weet ?

 

[Flloydo]

Do you guys think Manta will do the whole Spiderman movies like Weet ?

Yes

After the announcement of the 2 amazing Spider-Man’s for this year I’m certain the Maguire trilogy will be next year

 

[Daubt]

Boring front artwork for the steelbook

yeah... like most but the steel, but color me interested, still.

 

[Mararagan]

Yes

After the announcement of the 2 amazing Spider-Man’s for this year I’m certain the Maguire trilogy will be next year

I can foresee the bloodbath coming for these

It will be fine. You’re a year out minimum, don’t panic just yet. And the Garfield films will be fine too

Fewer GBs and the US probably won’t be able to order from China or Hong Kong soon . Frees up some copies on pre order day…

If not for it being diskless, I’d buy Wakanda, but they **** the bed on the Marvels. I don’t know how anyone at Marvel thought that Script was coherent, much less good.

99.9% of the steelbook collectors in the USA are leaving the country, because a life without Chinese steelbooks is not worth living


On a serious note is this likely to be a tough release? I like the box and DLA. Not sure about DLB(depends how good a job they do)…anyway, I’m asking because I figure Slips are about 15-20 more via GB (shipped), while the OC is closer to 40 or 50 more (assuming manta charges 40 to ship an OC).
