I've edited my orginal post in the GB and sent collector03601 a PM. When the GB goes live for the lenticular slip do I all add a message saying "1 to the UK" aswell? Or do I leave the post I just edited and that counts as me putting my name in the lenticular GB? Cheers

You still need to put down your name/sign up in the new group buys.

Hope not to derail this thread... But in response to @justboy...

Out of respect and as per @carllenc's GB rule, I thought it was prohibited to sell on Steels originally bought from his GB's?

To be 100% honest, I do admit that I don't fully understand the rule in it's entirety so any insight, knowledge or advice from the more experienced members here is gratefully received

How does it work for example if you bought from a GB, opened it/watched it and didn't really like it? Is it then good practise to sell on and re-coup some/all the money initially paid or is even this "frowned upon"?

I fully understand and completely respect the rule regarding selling solely to make profit but not certain as per my question/s above...

I have far too much respect for both @carllenc and @Collector03601 to even think of the latter (i.e. Selling for own personal gain).

Thank you Ninja's

Karels rule is to not see his copies selling on ebay. And he also doesnt like if you you will get it and then sell it for triple the price you have paid. He understands if you will get it as a blind buy and then if you will not like it and want to sell it for the price (+shipping) you paid for it its absolutely fine. He just doesnt like someone profiting from his hard work, which is understandable imo

@Joanie Mason @Rob0180 Your posts were moved to the GB thread here.

thank you I was a bit confused lol

I will stay with Full Slip (it may change till friday), it will look nicely with Hunger Games: MockingJay from FA. It has the same color and design.
The only thing that is making this decision dificult is: better lenti on the slip and polaroid cards from the other edition.
However i have polarodi cards in Memento (Kimchi) and Necromantic (digipack from Arrow) -> they are cool but not esential.

So full slip it is...for now))

Darn. Lol was super excited when I see. That he lenti slip was live posted as quick as I could. Lol. And now it's gone.

Cool, was going to anyway but thanks for clarifying.

Was going to say that I thought it would be ok if you sold it at the price you paid to someone who wants it (not that I'm looking to do that anyway) but would be a shame to pay that on a blind buy and hate the film unless you kept it for the package which to be honest I a have a couple of steels where im not a fan of the film but love the steelbook.

Anyway I'll Change my name over to the other GB on Friday

Thank you so much @Collector03601 for your kind input and clarifying my earlier question so well

I was only unsure regarding the "blind buys" aspect and you've made complete sense of it. I 100% agree with each and every word.

Thank you Martin

Hmm. I wasn't going to get this, but that 1/2 slip looks nice.
To buy or not to buy? That is the question.

Just the 1/2 slip? You can't just get one, you MUST get all of them

I don't like the full slip and while the lenti slip looks nice, I'm not a big enough fan of the film to buy more than one edition; I prefer the unique design of the 1/2 slip to the lenti slip

I can't make my mind up about the full slip! I know I'll end up signing up for the lenti and full though, which will be the first time I've bought two editions of the same film (excluding ordinary steelbooks)... I agree, the 1/2 slip is VERY unique and pretty cool, but I have to draw the line somewhere!

another steelbook contender of the year... man! this year's tough!

Yea... I blame FilmArena for releasing too many awesome steelbook editions.

That's not known yet


Some members will be changing their requests for the other group buys that will be live on Friday 28th
So it's not really known for sure at the moment how many have been allocated yet
When Karel posts who's on the list for the Group Buy then it will be known

Same here. I really like 1/2 slip, it's really unique and limited to my taste with only 500. This is the one I'm going after. The movie itself wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, especially after all the fuss about it. Had I my expectations too high or was I in the wrong mood when I watched it, I don't know, but it didn't strike on first viewing. Might be one of those films I'll learn to appreciate later on. Anyhow, FA what a great job again. Incredible releases one after another. To me they're the most impressive company I know and admire how they have evolved in such a short period of time. I have liked and followed them since first releases, but they never stop to amaze me.

 

[Raggle Fraggle!]

Probably gonna go for the half slip, love the concept and its executed really well. Love the colors.

Would be interested in seeing the lenti in action, but not sure how I feel about it as a whole.

Don't care much for the full slip, but still really cool! Lovely goodies for both the lenti and full slip. Wish the half slip got more stuff
