Leider noch keine Info zum Predator 

Und was ist mit den noch ausstehenden Pre-Orders?

Mist und ich hatte wirklich an Ende April geglaubt 

Mir fehlt wirklich das Verständnis für eine solche Praxis. Preorder war vor einem halben Jahr und da wurden von Kunden zigtausend Euro eingrsammelt. Dann kommt eine halbe Woche vor dem Release eine "semioffizielle Verschiebung" um mehrere Monate (auf der Produktseite steht immer noch der 27.04.). Offenbar abhängig von Disney+. Für den Kunden sehr unbefriedigend, von Filmarena intransparent. Es gibt öfter Probleme mit diversen Rechteinhabern, die sollten aber geklärt sein wenn man die Editionen verkauft.
Dazu kommt diese alberne Ankündigungsliste mit Dutzenden Titeln für dieses Jahr, bei der er nach vier Monaten drei im Verzug ist. Das ist einfach nur noch lächerlich und unseriös. Ich kenne das Unternehmen und die Abläufe nicht aber irgendwas ist da in den letzten Jahren massiv schiefgelaufen. Diejenigen, die nicht betroffen und teilweise mit mehreren hundert Euro in Vorleistung sind machen sich lustig über Filmarena. Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert lebt es sich ganz ungeniert heißt es so treffend, anders kann ich mir das Verhalten nicht erklären. 

Noch ein Nachtrag. Seid doch nicht so ungeduldig wegen ein paar kleineren Verzögerungen, wir nehmen uns nur die Zeit, die es eben braucht. Mit einem Smiley. Das ist sehr unverschämt gegenüber den Leuten, die dafür richtig viel Geld bezahlt haben.

Gibt es Filmarena überhaupt noch ?

Ich fürchte die sind mit unserer Kohle gerade auf Weltreise....

Neuigkeiten für die Zurück in die Zunkuft Box

Dear Collectors,

thank you for your patience and tolerance during the very long wait.

We are starting to ship BTTF boxes. It will take us about 4 weeks before we ship all the boxes because the combination of box + poster tube requires longer preparation.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
The FA team

Liebe Sammler,

vielen Dank für Ihre Geduld und Toleranz während der sehr langen Wartezeit.

Wir beginnen mit dem Versand von BTTF-Boxen. Es wird etwa 4 Wochen dauern, bis wir alle Kartons versenden, da die Kombination aus Karton + Posterrohr eine längere Vorbereitung erfordert.

Danke für Ihre Kooperation.

Aufrichtig,
Das FA-Team

Dear collectors,

 

we would like to inform you about current events and preparations.

 

We kindly apologize for the delay in the WONDER WOMAN 84 title due to the late delivery and subsequent complete lenticular reprint. We were not satisfied with the quality, and as we had already announced earlier, we will release the products to you when we are satisfied with them in all respects.

 

The current delivery date for lenticulars is mid-October, i.e. around 17/10 and then if everything goes well, we will proceed to complete WW84 and then move on to the next titles in order. We will update the release dates on the site in the second half of October to be more accurate than before. Unfortunately, due to delivery shifts, we were unable to plan better. We will try to improve it.

 

For the PREDATOR title, we are still waiting for the studio to finally confirm that we can start sending out the editions. Since communication is very slow or non-existent, which is also confirmed with other 20th Century Studios releases like THE LAST DUEL, they are very slow and unfortunately, this is also starting to show in the studio's reluctance to provide regular material. We dare to criticize this approach because it is retailers like Filmarena and others who have kept physical media sales afloat for a long time. And if some studios are no longer interested in these collaborations, it will be best if retailers get this information fairly and in front of their eyes. No hiding behind excuses and such. Earlier cooperation with the Fox studio was completely different than it is now, and it cannot currently be explained in any other way than the transition to the Disney studio, increased bureaucratic burden, and meaninglessly set criteria that do not correspond to specific m arket situations and customer requirements. Unfortunately, we cannot do more than this statement. How else to explain the situation when we have approved editions from an earlier time from the FOX studio, then the title goes under the DISNEY studio, which after minor corrections approve the title again, then asks to wait for the sending until it presents the PREY title and launches the Disney + channel and subsequently hardly responds to our communication. If this is an idea of future cooperation, then thank you, but we do not want to continue down this path. There are also studios where cooperation works, and we will focus on them, at least until we start to feel other signals.

 

As soon as we have any feedback from FOX/DISNEY, we will let you know. Together with the distributor, we are trying to negotiate the possibility of sending out at least separate E5 editions (steelbooks in jcards) in the first wave, but again we encounter communication that is very slow due to the strong bureaucratic apparatus at Disney.

 

We are currently not ordering more steelbooks for new titles from other studios and we are focusing on finishing work on older titles.

 

The current launch schedule for pre-orders is set as follows. Next week on Tuesday, we will launch pre-orders for the following titles:

 

FAC #167 TENET
FAC #168 UNFORGIVEN
FAC #169 F9
FAC #170 A QUIET PLACE PART II
FAC #171 GODZILLA VS KONG

 

We will present these editions to you in the coming days
We will launch further pre-orders in November and now we want to continuously inform you which ones they will be.

 

At the same time, we apologize to everyone for the recent error of launching pre-orders only for the TENET title, which occurred due to our incorrect setup.

 

Finally, we have news for you regarding our own merch, which you are increasingly interested in. We have decided to prepare the first round for you, which we will present and launch as part of this round of pre-orders.

 

Thank you very much for your support and cooperation.

 

We look forward to your pre-orders.

 

Best regards,

Jan Cikanek for the FA and BB team
