Yeah, kill bill and pulp fiction have dropped off. They've got the distribution agreements in place, with Paramount and lionsgate, so I imagine it's an artwork sign-off issue.

They may get to a superman preorder this year, as it's out in July. I can't see it physically being in hand though, no.

I'm 50/50 on this one as the full slip could be really nice but manta really need to knock it out the park with some of these announcements, mainly django, Fury road, the crow, the shining, black hawk down and mickey 17, not fussed about the others to be honest.

The first 3-5 really need good full slips, I've kinda been losing interest with some manta releases because at lot of the good artwork gets used on the double lentis or OC's, I really would like to see more than 600 of each edition for some of these big titles, 1k for django, the crow ect.

Please manta don't let us down, give us some beautiful full slips and steelbooks lol.
I'm overjoyed we're finally getting django just hope it lives up to the hype

I love that DL B front and back! This movie has amazing flying scene and this is the perfect match!

This is one OC I don't mind having in my collection. Seems impossible but I'll try

Since I've been living in a cave lately...do Mantas get a GB or is it direct purchase?

 

[Lenny Nero]

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

Ya'll going crazy for anything with a childish 'lenti' all the time, that signals them more lentis are required...

They do, but not via hdn

Found it. Same as for the MoS from WeeT Not sure why I thought they were done with GBs...

OMG the price there

That’s not true. How have you worked that out when 2 of the 3 editions are lentis anyway? Lol you don’t really have a choice especially if the full slip uses sh!t art and the lentis have art you like for whatever release

It depends where you order from. Some GBs are excessive. I paid £65 earlier, which is the same price as direct to the UK.

I just usually see people choosing a lenti slip over one without any lenti sides, and they usually are more expensive on ebay, which made an impression on me that most prefer them.

Oh right well fair enough but it’s prob because when a lenti is good it’s real good. And all these retailers have always done 1 FS and 2 Lentis whether it’s doubles or singles bar weet who usually do 2 full slips. I’m ignoring FA. So if the art you prefer is on a lenti then 9 times out of 10 you’ll get the lenti. Unless you hate lentis or can see potential in a full slip which is usually what I tell myself with Manta even if I’m not big on the chosen art. However imo it’s not worked on Truman show.

But when the choice the majority of the time is between 1 FS and 2 lentis then of course more lentis will be sold by the retailer and then re sold on the aftermarket. That just logic

 

[Steely-Booked]

Can’t decide if I wanna OC it or not, but if I get a slip, I’ll go for Lenti A (unless in hand pics of the FS come out before then and I really like it, but as it stands that art does nothing for me.

Still not seen this. Is it any good?

It's fine, I thought it was a very by the numbers affair but it was something of a crowd pleaser and given the sea of crap in the cinema that really helped word of mouth for it.

 

[Noodles]

Personally I much prefer it to the first film
