1 click done

Decided on the single lenticular.

Manta Lab always has the smoothest ordering experience.

[Lordy]

One-click for me too!

[Shanester]

Single lenti for me. The ocean background and overall coloring looks amazing.

[Blu Steel]

Wish they had the switched the artwork for the single and the double lenticulars

Too many different releases like hdzeta before it

[DJJez]

Grabbed the 4k full slip. Manta full slips are amazing with their embossing/spot gloss

[Odius]

First Manta release for me. Glad I was able to snag the double lenti

The market is drowning in releases.

What part? Like in general or looking at slips/steelbook, etc?

[Jr7936]

HDZ puts out some really nice product. For me, they are a turn off because it’s so difficult to order from them. Their website is horrible. They don’t take PayPal. Most of their product is sold via another site. It’s not easily obtainable outside a more expensive groupbuy.
Meanwhile Manta has been super easy to order from since day 1.
When it comes to high end Asian metal, the product is usually going to be top notch. So I view that as a push. Give me easy service, and I will keep coming back.

The group buys are super expensive in general. I would be highly annoyed if I did the group buy and paid more for the manta aquaman and it was super easy to get,
it also seems like hdzeta puts a lot more swag in the release then manta from looking at the photos
also taking paypal is a plus, cause most banks if they see a foreign site, might not approve the payment.

I prefer Manta's steelbook over HDZ's. As far as slips go, both pretty even, so such as the fact that they both use the same image for the single lenticular editions. I like HDZ's 4K slip probably the best of the lot followed by Manta's 3D Double Lenti. Manta has the much cooler looking box set artwork though. Extras are a push as both mostly include similar stuff aside from the nice folder that all HDZeta releases have, which I really like, and the 4K having the mini-posters instead of the booklet (which was not a fan of that decision).

Comapny-wise, I've never had any sort of issue ordering from HDZeta with my bank. Maybe it's because of all the transactions I do that take place with various other Asian companies so it doesn't raise any sort of red flag? As far as HDZeta's website, it definitely has lag issues but I've not had an issue ever ordering anything from it. Think I've only used a GB for HDZeta release maybe once or twice. The other probably 20+ releases I've got directing from the site.

I also ordered a 1-click.
Initially I had plans for the dble-lenti but grew quite fond of the artwork for Manta's box and since that's predominantly what will be displayed, decided to go whole hog.
Once I have both this and HDZ's 1-clk in hand, I'll decide whether to keep one or both.
