e3 is the only acceptable art anyways.. doesnt matter if e1 or e2 are sharper or have a nice finish

I'm perfectly happy with my choice and that i got chance to even get it. Steelbook looks gorgeous and magnet on top of it is just perfect

For shipping from the group buy to the UK, is it EU or the rest of the world? @carllenc

True. Peopke crying about pixelated lenti but lenti are always pixelated. And filmarena got better with lentis. But I must say the E2 grow on me big time, huge Predator feeling from that shot. But E3 still winner, great art and most importantly, its the only edition with pic of Predator.

Already mentioned in the leftovers thread
Still, to be safe I don't miss - interested in either steelbook only or E1. But first time I've ever ordered here - could someone please guide me on how to make the purchase? Here or via PM. Thanks in advance!

Not all is the art, If the quality is poor.. don't matter if the desing is good. I think the best is E1, obviusly I would like one with the predator but not with this bad quality and pixeled lenticular.

Two years since I went on a GB! I got honk is the longest I have been waiting so I’m just so excited this is finally coming….

With FAC finally releasing this release without the discs, I wonder if they might use this approach for other releases that got screwed thanks to Disney, I’m still hopeful that one day there will be a premium for Aliens, gutted they couldn’t complete the series.

I'll be surprised if they do. Hell I'm surprised this has been released at all, but really it's only happened because of the preexisting agreement with fox that's dragged through the years, for FAC to release without the mouse's nod because enough was enough. I can't see disney licensing them any fox stuff in the future, but they may be able to go get a consumer license agreement for disney/mcu stuff like manta/blufans.

Dont tell David Cameron

UK = EU shipping

I paid 'ROW' to the UK as we're not in the European Union. So I've overpaid then?

Probably. I'd be careful with that assumption, EU often means Europe, not literally the EU.

 

[Graphic_Delusions]

Probably. I'd be careful with that assumption, EU often means Europe, not literally the EU.

But it literally says "European Union" in the payment instructions message.

In that case I should be due a refund of 100CZK.

Ah, thats fair. Looks like a dated thing. The format probably hasn't been updated since brexit, as that option for FAC GBs has always included the UK.
