Thanks @Collector03601 for the reply, seems a no brainier for WB to work with FA due to the impressive work they do, it elevates the medium imo.
Fingers crossed for WB titles in the future.

So I am trying to buy something from FilmArena and they just sent me an invoice for FAC Looper but shipping charges are very high like 599czk which itself is more than steelbook. Is there any to select lower shipping option?
I think FA beginning to promise but can't honours the release : I missed The Martian numbered GB , can't buy on store because my collectible number is over 1000 , they wrote other copies will be available today at 20.00 (confirmed by mail also) . At 20.00 I check buy button but answer is not available , you can signed for reserve list . Are they confused ? 
You probably just missed it, pre-order for the few remaining copies was almost an hour ago and sold extremely quickly.I think FA beginning to promise but can't honours the release : I missed The Martian numbered GB , can't buy on store because my collectible number is over 1000 , they wrote other copies will be available today at 20.00 (confirmed by mail also) .

So the truth is out there , I was not conviced by what happened with 2 last FAC release (GB hosted for a little time , numbered and unnambered , no mail to confirm collectible number) so by a tour on web (no need genius) I discovered they sell to third parts in advance to start pre-order so sold-out is guaranteed. I can't post pics obviously but you can find on web the sad reality. I think they are definitively for business only . Want they stop us to collect their release ?
It 'a shame that their original policy has changed. This is very frustrating for a collector. I'm not rich , till today FAC release had a good price but I can't buy from third parts an item sold by FA at xxx and reselled at xxx + 20% or more . FA has the monopoly in Europe and business is business .
Good night and good luck

@bobino66 People who registered their interest in collecting their releases by applying for a collectable number on their site when FilmArena were first starting out always get first refusal on releases provided their collectable number is within the print run. I'm not sure if you can still get a collectable number, but you could try going here and clicking the button at the bottom of the page to see if you can register for one that you could use for future releases with bigger print runs.
In addition, FilmArena have always provided @carllenc with guaranteed quantities in advance for his group buys here and they also partnered with a few other retailers in some other EU countries too and at the end of the day it's good business for them to do this because it means guaranteed sales.
With The Martian almost half of the steelbooks they received were damaged and they couldn't get them replaced in time for the release so had to massively reduce the amount of copies of their limited edition that they had for sale, this means it was no doubt one of the harder releases of theirs to get hold of.
Unfortunately with Steelbook collecting you win some and you loose some, that's the way it's always been for us collectors when it comes to limited releases no matter the retailer.
I hope you have better luck getting other releases that you want in the future.

I'm tired of the delays. Guess I'll buy the Nova Dredd and HDZeta Minions on ebay instead.
