- 1/4 and lenticular will be available too
- 1/4 slip is less than 50 copies, please be hurry to grasp one if you like to add in your collection

August 9 Update:
Important Announcement here.

Due to Thanks giving day(biggest holiday in Asia), some color adjustment on artwork (more bright tons and saturation etc) and remove title on the back (not front) raised from feedback of HDN ninja's opinion.

Last friday scanavo told Kimchidvd to delay the final shipment of product.
Estimated release date has to be changed as Middle of October or End of October.

due to cancellation of LGB order in Kimchi, Kimchi will re-open the pre-order for rest of quantity around 16th September or later day (it will be announced soon)

Please kindly understand the delay for adjusting steelbook looks even better and manufacturing issue in scanavo.

I will share the steelbook sample picture as soon as it arrive in Kimchi, might be around final week of September (Steelbook & lenticular)

Mod, Please update release date in OP

Thanks

Major update from Choi 7/13/2013: [Mod. Edit: PLEASE READ]

Today I officially announced the pre-order date & time for 2nd round
as I said before, Kimchi will fix pre-order date & time based on UK time zone.:scat:

London (United Kingdom - England) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 13:00:00 BST UTC+1 hour
Seoul (South Korea) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 21:00:00 KST UTC+9 hours
Vancouver (Canada - British Columbia) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 05:00:00 PDT UTC-7 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 08:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours
Paris (France) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 14:00:00 CEST UTC+2 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 12:00:00


-1x copy per slipcover (2x copies for slipcover was sold out too fast like 7 min, That's why kimchi put more restriction for quarter slip release)
-5x copies per lenticular

here is technical problem solved so far

after you pay via paypal, you will automatically return to main page of kimchidvd and you can go to order page to check if your order is completed.

(previous kimchi, does not provide automatic payment completed by paypal, only kimchi handle one by one to complete order by manually matched with paypal transaction. it's kind of big burden and many problem happened)

and another announcement for shipping

Small packet is removed, K-packet applied for all of item sold in kimchidvd
K-packet is slightly expensive than small packet but there is lots of benefits

- Printed slip with tracking number
- End-to-End tracking with delivery confirmation (No lost shipment)
- Reasonable cost than EMS
- generally takes 5-15 days (EMS: 5-10 days, Small packet 15 -35 days)

but some member are curious why kimchidvd changed shipping method

From T2 kimchi release, Kimchi handled more than 1,000 box to ship out to post office KR, this is a big volume of post office KR to handle only for one store.

so post office does not allow kimchi to accept small packet any more :(
and asked kimchi to change K-packet rather than small packet due to too many package in one or two day.

after changed of k-packet, pack & shipping process is much more faster than small packet and very reliable shipping method in terms of tracking.

even now, some of member did not received T2 kimchi after shipping process done at 26th June because no tracking available for small packet.

1 or 2 steelbook for shipping charge between small packet & k-packet is only difference around 2$

please kindly understand kr post office policy for massive volume of shipment like over 1,000 boxes and more powerful tracking for lost shipment protection.

Thanks

My original lenticular was shipped Saturday but no movement on my 1/4 slip. I'm a way I'm glad as a few days apart should hopefully slip through customs rather than two arriving together.

Yep, the same with me. And i agree with you. Better they arrive separate so we can avoid paying custom fees.
 
I got my dispatch mail on Saturday.. Shouldn't be too long :)

Both items in the same package via EMS.

Fingers crossed customs don't charge me the money grabbing ba.........

Hi Choi

Thanks again for the message you wan to order again. through you I could order two copies.
I'm a little unsure because my Steelbooks have not yet shipped? Do I have to be worried that I do not get it, despite payment?
Excuse me for asking you, but you all know why I'm asking you.

Best regards Thomas

Now Tony tried hard to ship the all shipment as much as possible. he even did not sleep at all from Saturday to Today.

now ? he is still very busy to ship all of your shipment.

but he told me that he can complete shipping duty by early of next week.

I guess he can complete all shipping by 13th November.

I just told here because people is worried he did not get the shipping notice from kimchidvd.

I know many of you has been waited for long time. but please be patient until next week if you did not get shipping notice.

hopefully everyone understand the situation.

Thanks Choi, can you confirm next week or this week?

shipping is not delay. just ship one by one according to order sequence.

too many box is not properly handled by local post office.
