Does the OC come with napkins, because this release is messy

 

[Noodles]

Well they got the Shazam art wrong on the individual SL beauty shot with the OC shot so maybe it’s happened again?

It makes sense anyway to have the TV art feature as a whole slip.

But then again they probably do this so you want both...

There's actually been a few instances where I felt like they got the arts the wrong way around and it ended up being final, so I'm not expecting this to be any different tbh. Not that it matters to me though, as I won't be picking this up.

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

Yeah I'll be voting with my wallet with this one.

 

[spider-bat]

It's cool they are doing TV shows, but there not being any physical media for this does make it strange to me. It's like buying a wardrobe for its mirror dors not putting any clothes inside. But why not just buy a regular mirror? Or in this case, a poster. I don't know, it feels weird.

 

[samdavies]

Yeah as much as I don’t want to support this and I am annoyed I do still kinda want that DL.

Also weird the pre order date is a Thursday. And by the time this is pre ordered it will be 6 orders with Manta that haven’t been shipped. It’s getting a bit film arena/ Cine museum now! (They haven’t dispatched inception OCs yet so it makes 6 for me anyway)

I've emailed them to ask. Hopefully they know and respond within a week, as that'll be a clincher to buy for me. Preorder date is wrong btw, it's Friday 28th. Agree on preorder figures.

 

[MrTwoArms]

It looks like they're starting to fall into the Disney model, quantity over quality. I hope I'm wrong.

Ah fair enough, I’ve also asked them too. About the pre order date, what lenti is the flip (even though I assume it’s the front) and are the back arts the correct way round but this was before I see your reply lol

 

[tha_lunatic]

wait a minute, that means there is hope for a she-male steel too

fixed

Like many noted, this brings up a lot of questions, internal as well, and I'm already struggling with a dual personality, and this release only heightens my anxiety.
I'm one of the biggest collectors of physical media, yet I'm also one of the biggest pirates. I have so much stuff on HDDs, and previously burned DVD-Rs and CD-Rs, that people would never usually buy or watch in a lifetime.
But I cannot comprehend the concept of a digital game, for example, and buying an empty package for it, as has been done for some games for years now.
So if I haven't gotten used to that, I don't think I will with TV series either.

Now I love TV shows more, than movies, always have. Forget Star Trek - I've been that child geek that was reading Santa Barbara book fiction, because the soap opera wasn't enough for me!
And what I have on those pirated discs, is precisely various TV shows, most not available on disc, or, lately, not available in HD.
So I should be the first one to buy something like this, but without discs, I can't.

MantaLab is practically pushing us to buy pirate BDs of this series.
Has anyone ever bought these pirate Blu-rays, are they 'burned', homemade, on BD-Rs, or are they factory replicated?

P.S. DL is obviously out of the question here, only Fullslip, if I decide to get it.

 

[3Maters]

...da hell?

 

[tommyh84]

I feel like they got the back of the slips mixed up. Would look better swapped around IMO.

Yep 100%

Some strange choices here, Doctor Strange is a 3 edition release, this only has 2 (why no 1/4 slip?). Doctor Strange has a Lenti for the OC, this doesn't

I mean I'm a mug so I'll definitely be in for at least 1 edition but right now I can't decide between the two

 

[beachbum]

If they did one for Loki I might bite, depending on artwork, but it still kinda sucks you cant get a disc to put in it.

 

[Mokum]

Lol what a pointless release.
I'm in!

 

[Steelselecta]

Long time since I posted here, but I can’t support this, I said it months ago that these would feel like unofficial bootlegs, and to be fair they are very close to that.

Been out of the game for a while now but still lurk every once in a while! Finish of steels have dropped a ton in the last few years and this is the icing on the cake. Glad to see there is still a following though, loved it back in the day

 

[GeoRattray]

I mean at that point where does it stop. Lets start getting steelbooks for pc games while we're at it lol.

...remember to make it discless too

 

[Billy Talent]

So will the OC be a standard Manta OC size, or because it only has 2 slips they will slim it down....or just fill the gap with foam padding?

 

[GeoRattray]

wait a minute, that means there is hope for a she hulk steel too

ffs @jonnybobbytimmy have some standards please


(this is a release they'll throw in the bootleg disks for free)

 

[Betonos Le Truel]

Same front art on the steelbook and the DL... so FS is the clear winner here. I will preorder this one to put my discs in it...




Er... hem... Oh wait...

Message to Manta staffs :

I'm one of the biggest collectors of physical media, yet I'm also one of the biggest pilates.

This is what I read

It's going to be twice as big bc they're including full scripts for every episode, so you can read the show since you can't watch it.
