Nothing against you my friend HUB, but I truly hope this list won't last too long since I personally HATE those Viva metal case. The plastic look on the side ruins it for me!!! :angry:

GJ for making a list to track them down ;)
 
Thanks for the list.

A bunch of them are becoming rare and very expensive now....

This is a great list. Thanks for putting this together. It is also a great opportunity for anyone who likes to collect every VIVA metal box ever released since the list is short right now :D
 
Thanks for putting together this list.

I really want that Tron from Australia as the cover-art just rocks. But its pricey for no inside artwork or back artwork. Maybe if it was around $35-40 shipped I would bite. Its more like $60 shipped, lol.

Already got in on the Real Steel China GB.... can't wait for that one!
 
So, who is the first one to own all Viva releases? I would like to see pictures of them all lined up :)
 
I've got:
2. Lion King (CA, FS Exclusive) October 4, 2011
4, Bambi (CA, FS Exclusive) October 11, 2011
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 3D (CA, FS Exclusive) October 18, 2011
6. Incredibles (CA, FS Exclusive) October 25, 2011
7. Cars 2 3D (CA, FS Exclusive) November 1, 2011

You want a picture of those 5 ? :p
 
line it up baby and take your best shot... I want top notch studio pictures :hilarious:

I've got:
2. Lion King (CA, FS Exclusive) October 4, 2011

I must admit I was a bit worried about them when they first came out , but TBH they are very strong and very "clean: looking , I like them a lot now :)

I really think these will be the norm now for Australia ?? as its the second consecutive exclusive release allready ?? :scat:
 
How's the shipping from JB? Do they package it well?

I didn't realize Senna got over 92% in rotten....

Nice Drum. The only viva I wasn't impressed with that has been released to date is Lion King.

You are SOOO right! As you all know, I'm not a Viva fan (even if I buy everything there is) but I truly enjoy their AMAZING front/back/inside art! :drool:

I just think they've been lazy for Lion King which is sooo plain. :(
 
go for it!

Here is mine...only 3 so far :(

It made itself home with the other cousins :hilarious:
