Anyone been able to get any information from Film Arena as to what’s going on?

We're all fecked... FA is dead...

Limp Bizkit are so cool, they already forsaw this situation, and wrote a song about Britney Spears it, asking for all of us what the hell is going on:



Okay, where the £@#$ you been?
What the £@€# is goin' on?
Who the £@$% do you think you are (&!%£€), cause for alarm
I put up with your $#!¥, beggin' me to stay
I ain't some punk @$$, dealin' with your drunk @$$
'Cause I deserve more, I deserve more
So just drop dead

I just hope we won't receive a "surprise" update that they went bankrupt or something similar. I just can't imagine any other scenario why all this secrecy about the status of the releases except them (unsuccesfully) trying to find funds to stay afloat :(
 
  • Wow

Just had the following update from them. Hopefully we can get some of our orders fulfilled at last.

Dear collectors,

we thank you for your support and patience in this year, which was full of changes, at least for us.

New information describing our next plans will be published and distributed on January 7, 2025.

Enjoy the rest of the year 2024 and let health, love, peace and happiness accompany you into the new year.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

HC for FAC and BB teams

Who cares after numerous of these "updates"?
 
An update to the updates update!

Aren't there still Ninjas waiting for their orders? Maybe update them.
Yes, one of those is me ;)
Waiting for ages for the following:
  • Shawshank
  • Edge of Tomorrow
  • No time to Die
  • A clockwork Orange
I receive numerous of "update" mails as I got a collectable number. I gave up hope :)

This is the kind of thing that would make me miserable. Sorry you're going through that. Especially with Edge of Tomorrow which to me is one of the greatest sci-fi films ever.

And again a reminder by email from FAC to tell me where my money went... but I'm still curious what their releases will be as they always "deliver"

We're just all in a new ticketing system, like waiting to get a quarter of ham from the counter... this is more like the days that need to go by :naughty:

Got this late last night.

Dear Collectors,


we greet you and wish you that the year 2025 will be as pleasant as possible, that you will be healthy and satisfied.


After a long pause, which we also used to prepare our next plans, allow us to share them with you.


Last year, we didn't release much and communication wasn't very good either. The truth was that we didn't know what we really wanted. After parting ways with our long-term team and moving, we needed to create a new facility from which we would be able to serve you film editions and other collector's products.


We don't forget about the editions whose release was announced. The pace of release will be slower, but we want to complete all editions. Next in line for you, we are preparing the FAC 174 THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION edition, which should be followed by the FAC 172 and FAC 173 editions. If we manage to finalize the agreement regarding the discs, we will release these editions with discs. We want to inform you about the next dates later, so we will always include 3 editions in a row in our specific plans and after their releases we will prepare a timetable for the next three editions.


The year 2024 was another important milestone in our history, when we began to deviate from the main focus on film editions and concentrate more on other products with higher added value, attractive to collectors, but also to ordinary customers.


We want our products to not only make people happy, but also give them the opportunity to preserve value or benefit, as well as the opportunity to multiply the finances invested in this opportunity in the future.


It took us a whole year to plan well which collector's series we will prepare for you next. It was at the expense of delaying the film editions, but we believe that after further presentations of these options, which will first be offered to our loyal customers, you will understand.


For April 2025, we are preparing the first collector's item for you, which will be unique in several attributes and which will be a pilot project for the transformation of our story called "from wheel to wheel".


We will have further information for you on January 10, 2025.


Thank you for your support and cooperation.

With friendly greetings,
JC on behalf of the FA, BB and TL teams
 
OK so putting aside the majority of it (trying to stay positive :) ), I wonder what their collector's project will be. The "from wheel to wheel" is strange. Will they start producing rims for wheels? :D
