Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.

My tracking not moved since 8th.

Mine either, but that's perfectly normal. I'm not expecting any updates before it's available to pick up at my local post office.
It's always this way for me.

I chose K Packet to avoid waits as I always get stuck in customs with EMS.

Always choose K packet myself. My tracking always stop at Incheon then reappears first when it's available to pick up at the post office.

What service do you use for tracking? With Aftership, it's the same for me: no more updates once the package has left Incheon until it's (not) delivered. Sometimes Aftership shows the item has arrived in the country of destination and is at the international parcel center (i.e. Frankfurt). Much more reliable and detailed is 17track(.net). It never failed me. Also, you might want to check your national post office's tracking system.

I use both aftership and 17track + Norwegian post's tracking.

Always the same, once its left Incheon there's no more updates until ready for pick up.

Not a problem though. It'll always turn up 5-7 days after Incheon.

Glad I went for the purple edition looks cool. Know I just await to receive this beauty in hand.

 

[Flloydo]

Same here, I rarely get updates after incheon

No blu fans has ever updated for me past that point (even when it's in hand) and this is the same

Kimchi and nova are the only ones I've had tracking go all the way and even then it's not every purchase

 

[cooey]

Hoping mine arrives next week

Just received mine (Type B) with the Limitation number 99/2500

My Full Slip B arrived today:




I can't say I'm overwhelmed. It's nicely made, sure, but not overly impressive.

Once again there's an annoying alignment issue with my copy: the printing does not match the embossing. It's not as apparent in the pictures as in reality, but it's there and makes all the small letters look blurred. ("A Film By Park Chan-Wook", "With Old Days", "Digitally Remastered Edition", "Grand Prix Festival de Cannes")

 

[AlexMacOl]

Mine fullslip B is on its way. Hope it arrives until the end of the month.

Couldn't decide, so I took the double pack (both slips). It's been shipped, now the wait...

 

[cooey]

According to tracking mine will be delivered tomorrow

Got mine today. The Steelbook is very well done. My issue is with the quality of type A. It's just a flimsy paper slip. Lacking the spark that used to be PA.

Manta, hdzeta and even blufans have better slips than PA now and I'm usually all over all PA releases. The slip doesn't compare to the quality of their previous works.

Hey at least it has some gloss unlike tinker tailor lol
