@Flloydo regards FA you missed the biggest points, when they started out the had constant manufacturing issues now years later they are still have same dogged manufacturing issues (remaking parts not upto standard)
not a great look so many years down and quailty has never improved from there suppliers all these years later, unless they keep changing suppliers and keep having new supplier quality issues. which i find hard to believe personally.
so how they keep funding that, i tell you about month ago they had 30 pre-orders charged for on there own website and telling people to calm down and wait
im surprised there still going whole business is still going, seems to be running on a pyramid basis money in on new cash pre-orders. with more manufacturing issues still and im sure the bits and pieces manufactures are not doing all the remakes for free, so if that could be the case money has to come from FA.
hence why logic says FA are paying for it. hence nothing is getting completed plus the fact fa are taking on too many releases all the time, personally i havent bothered with them for years because i could see where this was heading and there prices started getting silly for wwa.
bit like some others in europe that we know similar format and excuses as well.
they make there own rods for the backs and time will tell if im correct here but i just vote with my feet and new people will work out the mess down the line
pyramid selling never works not when costs spiralling out of control its doomed for the start.
if people asked for there money back from the 30 pre-orders fa would fold tommorrow and thats simple maths.

FA did start out very well to be fair, good prices to get it all going and slowly over time has just got worse on so many fronts, which is a real shame. you would have thought by now they would have got there suppliers sorted out by now at least quality wise if you believe what people have been told by fa.
anyway cest la vie

Fa, once great, now not
No learning from mistakes

 

[Gaz85]

DL A shipped!

 

[samdavies]

6 days late, still recovering from CNY. That's about right really.

 

[Zelos]

Still no luck with boxset shipment.

 

[Firestorm91]

OC shipped direct, man i cant wait to see the first pictures for the Singles, where are they

 

[Bungral]

Mine arrived yesterday. Very nice it is too

 

[GeoRattray]

Mine arrived yesterday. Very nice it is too

 

[Bungral]

Alright, had a couple of minutes spare before running out. Heavy reflections but here ya go.

Spoiler: Pics

 

[samdavies]

Oh, so the transition is batman flying towards you, like the blue bettle lenti. That's much better implementation than blufans SL

 

[Lenny Nero]

Ugh, glad I chose DL-B...

 

[spider-bat]

Happy with the release. I like the embossing on the Full Slip. The steel seems to be nice, but haven't unwrapped it yet so can't really judge the quality.

Spoiler

Also happy that my Batman / Spider-Man display is now "finished".

Spoiler: My Batman/Spider-Man display

Edit: Reuploaded everything because the quality was too low.

 

[tommyh84]

not mine

Steelbook is so underwhelmed. And front artwork looks weird too. I think both other steelbooks artworks are better at least on this one.

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

Yeah I wasn't going to mention it before because I thought I was an outlier but I don't think that steelbook looks very good
