August 9 Update:

Spoiler

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.

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

Ok, I couldn't wait till later. This was supposed to be something special so when I opened the box I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing.

Real difficult to take photos of this. Crackle gloss finish!?

Are there any extra's included - OP mentions Art card, photos or booklet, but you've already said there is no dolphin holder or Art Card ?

Cheers

Nothing.

And the disc artwork is pretty poor.

 

[montana2974]

Just got mine holy **** it's a beauty wow love it , for me the steelbook of the year , the photos do not do it Justice 10/10 Kimchidvd . A++++++++ but that's just my opinion

 

[DJHilalo]

Nothing.

And the disc artwork is pretty poor.

Really nothing at all bud??

U sure yours are not samples or something hehe, man sucks if that's the case

 

[PadreKarras]

No Artcard with dolphin holder, nor photo cards or booklet?
In that case this would be a problem...

 

[jackanape]

Was there ever a picture of this dolphin holder and artcard? I assume the card in the pics is just the front/back of the number card right?

Seems disappointing that the extra stuff (booklet etc) never made it in. Kind of glad I only bought the lenticular slip now. Hopefully it will look pretty good in hand.

If that's the case then it's starting to look like Tangled will be the clear winner out of the three Kimchi releases I've bought. That's a great looking steel and wonderful package.

 

[mnementh]

Nothing.

And the disc artwork is pretty poor.

ooooh, that is disappointing.

I'm wondering if yours is an unfortunate 1 off, done when Tony was very tired, or if the extra's mentioned in the OP just didn't make it into the package.

 

[cooey]

Can you confirm if you got any of the extra bits inside the steelbook too?

 

[cooey]

ooooh, that is disappointing.

If they didn't then I'll be asking the question why

EDIT: Looking at the web page it doesn't mention anything about the extra bits

And in the opening post it does say TBC so to be confirmed. The extras were never promised. Although dolphin holder was mentioned.

 

[PadreKarras]

Web page doesn't mention it now, but (IMO) the important is if it was mentioned when we bought the steelbooks, and I can't remember it.

I understand that "tbc" is for artcards "or" booklet (one of two, tbc).
But "artcard with dolphin holder for ALL the copies" is not tbc, and I think that was confirmed.

 

[ash333]

Wasn't this supposed to be numbered as well? I see that mentioned on the web page but it could jolly well be on a sticker. The artcards and/or booklet is TBC. I supposed in the frenzy to get this out, most of the details on the goodies got lost. Be patient - I am sure Tony and/or Choi will clarify things soon.

It is numbered - pic was posted a few pages back. Numbering is on a card same as the Monsters Inc/Tangled releases.

[cooey]

I don't want to jump the gun but seeing the attention that was given to Monsters Inc and Tangled, bearing in mind this one was delayed a couple of times and we get nothing with it, I won't be happy at all

 

[domalorite]

Well it sure looks like a sample

And what is a dolphin holder exactly? Something that holds a dolphin?

After the other kimchi releases I'm disappointed with this. And it promised so much. Its saving grace for me is that I like this movie (and all of Bessons movies). It better be a good transfer...

 

[PadreKarras]

I have no idea what is a dolphin holder, but I need it.

This would be my first dolphin holder.

 

[severo]

you know that a "dolphin holder" might be?

the picture of the back cover (actually showing a guy who's "holding" a dolphin) on a printed artcard.
that should be it.

 

[mnementh]

Numbered: Yes (numbers to be given randomly)
Exclusive Sticker: Yes
Exclusive contents: Artcard with dolphin holder for the ALL copies.
Extras items: Photo Cards or Booklet (TBC)

Numbered - Yes on the card
Exclusive Sticker - Yes
Exclusive Contents: Is this really the back cover ?
Extra items - I read this as something should be included, and we were waiting for confirmation if it was the Art Cards or the Booklet

 

[domalorite]

Mine must be still in the post, minus the dolphin of course.

 

[Shayid]

Thanks for the pics
