All this talk has me tempted for the OC now…. I rarely do them (think i’ve had maybe 3 or 4, ever…in over a decade and hundreds of steels).

How much is the OC shipping usually (from here), if somone could advise/confirm recent or estimated costs please.
Trying to work some numbers out vs GB elsewhere.

If you’re in the US, probably around $35

HDZ are doing a silver line release (1 of the WWA steels in a slip) that's the only other 'confirmed' one so far

Well, if this is a lock then I think I might reconsider doing the OC. I would rather have 2 different editions with different steelbooks and different goodies inside than just one manta OC. I can’t commit $500 to Barbie which would basically be getting both one clicks.

Collecting can be really stressful.

Am not…,UK

I thought there was a set-ish, rate…I thought it might be around $30?

If anyone in UK or Europe is able to confirm cost from any other, recent (in the last 12 months ish) GB’s, that would be highly appreciated

That it can, aye.



Wouldn’t change it though
Such a great feeling to add another beauty to the collection.

I am in The Netherlands, Inception OC MANTA was $50,22 so you can expect that amount a dollar more or less , The Batman OC to UK was $49.68, but that was a while back.

Ah yea, thats very close, seems safe to assume its around the $50 mark.

thank you for confirming.
Much appreciated

Yeah i think its $45 direct, so $50 via aniv is about right.

Does anyone know/remember if HDZeta Silver fullslips are the same thickness as current Manta's?
Wondering if it'll fit in this box instead of one of the others...

 

[Lenny Nero]

Manta seem to have crazy good operations considering how many WEA editions they are able to release, and generally on (or close to on) schedule.

Manta isn't 'crazy good', they're just the only ones working as they should, and everyone else sucks. Which makes them good, I suppose.

Thought you detested Barbie and its messages?

I’d argue they are or could be recognised as ‘Crazy Good.’

I’ve yet to be disappointed by Manta releases I purchased.
I actually prefer them over the almighty Blufans usually (blufans tend to use the busier, poster type artwork, so my personal preferance for artwork, often leans towards Manta.)

Then again, so long as its a premium steel from the Asian continent, its a win as far as am concerned (some more western releases, or European ones just arent as good.)

No, they're quite a bit thicker. Hdz silver slips are exactly the same size as their gold slips.

Lol Blusteel asked the same question and Lenny answered it here

Does anyone have much experience ordering direct? I think Aniv might be on vacation until after this goes on sale and the stress of possibly not getting this is already giving me serious IBS flare ups.

With 600 one clicks if you’re there early (1000 singles as a back up), logged in early will it still be unlikely to snag one from the people who somehow always seem to do things faster and snatch all the copies just as you are hitting confirm payment on PayPal and realize your cart is now empty?

8pm in South Korea is 4am pacific time so I’m going to be awake and try if aniv isn’t going to be around for a while. Just wondered if it is possible or highly unlikely to expect to get one from their site these days?

Not quite. It's 1,000 per slip, including the 600 OC allocation. 3K print run total.

Also aniv has already said he'll be doing a GB for this one.

What are you talking about the stress of not getting this? You've already snagged multiple copies on other sites

 

[Veronica Mars]

You are extremely misinformed.

I am only on ONE other site (bd.com) and as of now I have secured a grand total of ZERO copies. Literally anyone can look and see that if they’d like to.

If you're worried about aniv, and you're on bd, join Triggers gb.

They already have

You don’t really join. You make a request there and you hope he has enough to fulfill your request. You know that one is secured if he gives a thanks to your post. He was on today and gave confirmation to others but not to mine and there are a lot of people before me in the line.
