This Terminator slip is a perfect example, it's quite the risk as the art certainly isn't for everyone.

Personally I think their whole collectible number idea is genius.
They get a steady and loyal flow of customers and the customers in return are guaranteed a copy and given an extra feeling of importance.

Very well said! Sometimes you must take risks, life is boring without being risky...im talking about taking risks here, not being stupid lol...(little disclaimer before someone calls me out)

I agreed with you about their collectible accounts as well, theyre building a very solid and loyal customer based which helps them to gauge for their future releases rather than having to guesstimate all the time. I also have to admit their customer service is top notch, very fast at answering questions and quite professional and polite. My question is, are we really buying the steelbook or are we buying the status/feeling of feeling important? lol

Well, since I rejected Exodus and will never buy Elektra and Get On Up, I'd say I'm buying the steelbook

Okay, I'll be nice.

All FA compliments aside though; I do think this slip could have been done better.
If the image might indeed be as horrible as I think it is, I'll definitely glue that lenti magnet over it.

Or better still; anyone wants to trade this for a Kimchi Snowpiercer lenti?

Thank you snooloui.

No matter how beautiful they may or may not look, cheap or expensive, I am sorry with all those tremendous companies from Korea and China even Zavvi, I would not ever spend a dime on a Czech steelbook. I am very surprised that they are even mentioned to be honest.
This is just a personal opinion and it does not need not to be taken seriously.......I just felt a strong urge to say it out, cause they occupy some serious space......
No offense to all of you who like them.........Good luck and happy collecting and yes I did notice how cheap the prices are.

But what do you not like about them? Most of the exclusives they are putting out here recently have been the same steelbooks you could get from other retailers. They are not really Czech steelbooks. So for them to be putting in all these extras for hardly any extra price is a pretty good deal.

Or do you just not like Czechs in general?

you asked an excellent question. When I read that response I couldn't help but to wonder what is the reason. Collecting is a personal preference but I thought it would be interesting to hear more...lol

I saw your post earlier today but didn't have time to respond as I was about to go out to see Mad Max Fury Road.
Your post surprised me a bit. To each their own of course, but is there a reason why you feel Czech steelbooks are lesser than Asian or Zavvi's?
Personally I would take Filmarena's releases over Zavvi's any day, their slips are top notch and gorgeous and the steels are the same as any release.

It's not an attack; I'm just honestly curious where the dislike comes from

I've ordered both this and Commando but no idea if they're numbered 1000 or below.

There are 2 Fullslip Commando's FYI. One's got the extra Film Arena Collection stuff and one doesn't. They have different slip art as well.

I take that back. One Fullslip is numbered and contains the lenticular magnet. The other is unnumbered, doesn't have the lenticular but it does have the cards.

Fullslip + Full Lenticular Numbered 1501
Fullslip 1000 unnumbered

Is it safe to say this will be Region B locked?

How does one place a pre-order at FilmArena ? I registered but when I click on the pre-order tab nothing happens. Thanks for any help.
