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.



Old mock up

 

[Fisheds]

All you really get is 4 books and a (admittedly very cool) bookmark inside an awkward sized box. I'm kind of indifferent about this.

 

[DVDguy]

I really like that book holder shown in the pics above.... where can I get me one?

 

[Futurhythm]

I caved.

Congrats @Futurhythm! How much did that set you back. I'm guessing it wasn't cheap!

I pretty much put myself in the same frame of mind as when I buy something from Japan. Just to make myself feel better, I'm gonna say it wasn't as expensive as I thought it'd be - I paid around $200AUD all up including postage.

I caved too - sounds like you had a bargain compared with what I paid...

Considering some of the prices that not too bad, still too expensive for me though! Congrats on acquiring one!

 

[BumBum]

Yep - congrats.
For 150$ I would have caved I guess but not for 250$+
Too bad

Mine arrived this week - I must say it is one of the most beautiful packages in my collection. Plain Archive have really lived up to their reputation on this one.

@BumBum, you can find one on ebay for 150$ without shipping

Thanks - can you tell me what he means with that?
"For safe shipping plain put the dvd in the carton box but it is not part of dvd set can be damage on the way of shipping."

As you can see in pictures above there's is a cardboard box which contains the set itself. He means that if this box will be damaged you did not receive any refund. Because it's just a package and not part of the box set.

 

[BumBum]

Thanks - makes sense

one reason more to make this unavailable for international customers

one reason more to make this unavailable for international customers

I'm pretty sure that this was one of the reasons. There's always some people who will complain about tiny marks, dents etc. Even if they found them on the outer box and they barely noticeble. So i understand that Plain made it unavailable for international customers. But i didn't expect prices on ebay will be this high. I saw one yesterday for 395$ and it was a discount from 500$
Bought mine for 183$ including shipping. Really hope to receive it safe.

Exactly what it says on the tin. I got mine from this seller and it didn't come with the Plain Archive sticker. Not sure why? But I'm not fussed about the stickers anyway so wasn't an issue for me. I can confirm it was brand new, genuine, mint condition and extremely well packaged with everything stated. Delivered in 3 days too.

Plain sticker only comes when you order directly from them. When they distribute releases to other retailers there is no stickers.
