      Are you serious I am so sorry I was convinced they were still available. I actually check their website two days ago when I shot this video and it was still available and I just assumed it was still there. Apologies again Chay

    I agree, Filmarena should take the money on the same day they ship the product. Cinemuseum is the same and they take a long time to ship the product.

      I actually pre-ordered a movie a while back from cinemuseum and when I went to cancel it they refunded my money only for it was €15 less and they said it was to do with being penalised for cancelling it. Never went near them again

It's a stunning looking release from filmarena as well but like I said in the video I'm not a fan of how they handle their preorders and I don't think I will be pre ordering from them again.

    I hadn't even heard of this version until I saw your video. This is definitely the version I would want. Unfortunately, I managed to miss out on every single special edition of this movie that has come out, and I'm one of those people who refuses to pay hundreds of dollars on eBay for something. This is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. I own the 4K, but I'm really dissatisfied with the lack of special features and how the slipcover is identical to the cover art itself. Maybe someday I'll manage to get my hands on a special edition that doesn't break the bank. Lol. Thanks for the great video! 🙂

    • @millerman9991
      @millerman9991  Před 9 měsíci +1

      To be honest there is no way I would ever spend hundreds of Dollars on releases like this so I'm right there with you. If I'm completely honest I picked it up from filmarena for 80 Euro and that was as much as I wanted to spend on it. Bear in mind it's one of my favorite movies of all time aswell. My advice is be patient shop around and fingers crossed you will find a release that best suits your collection. Thank you so much for stopping by and if I see anything I will come back to this comment and let you know

    I just bought my first Film Arena 4K due to one of your reviews - I just had a look at the site and it felt like going home! So i bought the Justice League 4K. Really wanted this one as well to go with my Universal Limited Edition and Titans of Cult one , but its just too expensive . Its not a cheap site but the value stays and goes up with time so they are a great investment. Great vid as usual .

    • @millerman9991

      Incredibly enough I actually purchase the Justice League myself. I bought both Editions the Blu-ray and 4K because you get a special hard box gift if you buy both. How amazing does that edition look. I know they can be very expensive but when you consider everything you're getting and not only that but you have to factor in the rarity as well I think it's worth every penny.

    Hi Keith. So glad you finally got your parcel from FilmArena. Great to see one more review of The Thing. :D
    I was also not a fan of them charging money at the pre-order. But thankfully they came through for us. I would love to get my hands on the Cine-Museum edition, but it was too expensive and seemed somehow risky having not ordered from them before. Glad I didn’t, since reading your unfortunate experience with them. Although, their edition of Poltergeist looks pretty great!
    I also collect all kinds of formats of this Carpenter horror masterpiece be it on laserdisc, vhs, dvd, blu-ray or 4K. One can never have enough ;)
    And thanks for the mention in your review! Keep the superb reviews coming!
    Have a great Xmas holiday - hopefully enjoying a couple of films too.

      Huge apologies Mark for not remembering your name. I shot this video twice and the first time I shot it I said your name but I wasn't sure if it was right so I took it out on the second one. But thank you so much for your heads Up on this and only for yourself I probably would have forgotten about it. I wouldn't mind them taking the money straight away if they would at least honour the release date but unfortunately they never do. CineMuseum do bring out some fantastic releases but unfortunately after everything that happened with them I could never do business with them again. I seen their Lost Boys edition they bringing out as well and it looks amazing. But it could be 2 years from now by the time it comes out. The most important thing is we finally have our editions of The Thing and it was well worth the wait. As always thank you so much Mark for stopping by and checking out my video. I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. All the best my friend

    Hi Keith.
    Great video as always! This made my hurry over to filmarena to purchase the movie myself, and luckily it’s still available.
    Just received the movie today and to my surprise I got number 0483, a lower number than yours, so apparently they don’t ship them out in number order?
    You said this is your definitive version of the movie. I totally agree with the packaging is amazing, and probably the coolest looking edition of The Thing. But regarding the content I personally prefer the German Turbine release. It includes the TV cut of the movie, along with the soundtrack CD, and also the 2011 remake of the movie. Plus it also contains the novel Who Goes There (unfortunately it’s in German, but still).

    • @millerman9991
      @millerman9991  Před rokem +2

      Wow that is great to hear that you picked it up Michael. Somebody explained to me how the numbering system works with filmarena and I am honestly not even going to try and explain it because I still don't get it. I missed out on the turbine Edition and I'm trying everything to get it. I have every other turbine release that they've done similar to the thing and I would love to add it to my collection. I'm hoping someday I can get it. Thank you so much for stopping by Michael and let me know. I hope my video did it Justice by how beautiful it actually looks.

I tried to pre order from them aswell and it was some system where certain people had first dibs and i wasted my time trying to order it at 12 czech time.

      Yeah it probably was a coincidence. But the good news is I have it in my hands now and that's all that matters in the end. But I don't think I'd be in a rush to pre order from them again. It will have to be something very special

    Wow, didn't know this boxset was available. Gonna have to check out the website like you recommended & try to pick one up.
    Quick question, do you have the Ultimate fan edition of Top gun/ Maverick boxset yet?
    It's amazing with quality goodies inside. Just wondering if you were going to do a review, as I'd love to get your opinion on it. (I think you'd love it).

    • @millerman9991
      @millerman9991  Před rokem +1

      Hey Chay. No I didn't pick up the Top Gun Ultimate Fan edition because honestly I didn't think it was worth the money. When I realised it was available everywhere I decided to cancel my pre-order and wait for it to go down in price. It looks like a fantastic edition but I thought €120 was a lot of money for it. I've already seen it on Amazon Italy down to 105 and hopefully in January I can get it for a lot cheaper again. I will be definitely reviewing it when I get it

    I'm loving the lenticular cover on this one Keith, very nice. My second favourite Carpenter movie. I remember watching this on vhs back in the 80s, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the praticle effects we're ahead of their time and still stand up today, better than the cgi rubbish they give us today. Filmarena are a bit naughty taking your money before sending it out to you, and not returning your emails is damn right rude. It's no way to treat their customers.

    • @millerman9991
      @millerman9991  Před rokem +2

      Hey Gary. I think a prime example when it comes to Practical effects is when you watch the prequel to this movie and how better the original movie looks compared to the prequel. Not taking anything away from the prequel. I actually rather enjoyed it but the fact that they didn't do the effects practically massively hindered that movie and to think they were actually going to do it practically when first shooting it. There's actually footage on CZcams of them using the practical effects. It's a shame they didn't stick with it.

    • @singin8324
      @singin8324 Před rokem

      @@millerman9991 I didn't know that, they should have stuck with the practicle effects, like you I thought the prequel wasn't bad but it just can't be compared with this masterpiece of horror. They don't make them like they use to Keith and I think most horrors today are going backwards not forwards, ther'e no good idea's anymore. Smile was the last horror I saw, it wasn't bad and probably the most original I've seen for some time. The only one I'm really looking forward to and I hear rumours Warner might be shelving it for what ever reason, is Salem's Lot.

    Hi Keith,
    I’ll be catching up with your videos, I also pre ordered this one as well as I also couldn’t help myself as it’s my fav horror movie of all time.
    I got mine a few days before Christmas, I feel your pain, & the set is expensive mainly due to the shipping 😬.
    I also done a late unboxing video, had a feeling you’d be getting this one, & it’s the last edition of “The Thing” I’ll be getting as I have three editions already.
    The Filmarena editions are beauties after all the issues, enjoy your set .

I am a massive fan of film arena but I do not like how they handle their preorders. For a time there I thought I was never going to get this. They need to have better communication and they definitely shouldn't be taken money straight away without giving us a solid release date. But we got it in the end and that's the most important thing. Thank you again for stopping by my friend

      @@millerman9991 It isn't about wanting swastikas but it is the way it was made. Do not change it. Why not go in and remove every frame of the movie where it shows one. I mean, it is not like the film is pro Nazis. Have you watched the film? I don't want to ruin in for anyone who have not seen it, but it is not pro nazi by any means.
      As far as the Thing. I always embrace NEW art as long as it is good. They took 2 existing pieces of art and poorly combined into a horribly ugly piece of art that does not work on any level. usually Film Arena releases sell out before pre-order even happens because of how Film Aren gives out numbers, and especially on a popular film like The Thing would have been sold out before pre-order had it not been for the art. No one wanted it.
      Really surprised you like it. But to each His own. All good.
      Because most did not want, for the people that do, you can pick up on ebay for pretty cheap compared to other Film Arena releases. So that is good.
