Then we have 3 options now

1. The boxset limitation number was printed wrong - there are 400 copies instead of 300
2. The quarter slip limitation number was printed wrong - there are only 300 copies instead of 400
3. Both limitation numbers are correct - there are 100 copies of quarter slips which where available separate

@wxlinkswd
Maybe you can solve this mystery?

BTW - I attached the pictures of the limitation numbers of each edition

The limitation is splitted as follows:
Box - 300 copies
Lenticular - 1.100 copies
Full - 500 copies
Quarter - 400 copies

This would be 2.100 copies in total. I'm sure that I've read the quarter slip edition was only available in boxset?

1.100 + 500 + 400 = 2.000

Maybe 100 copies of the 1/4 slip were sold separately in China?!

My full slip arrived today. I haven't taken the plastic off yet but I think it looks pretty sweet.

 

[misformatt]

Has anyone posted pics of an unwrapped full slip? I'm curious what kind of treatment(s) they gave it this time around.

It took a few weeks but they responded and I sent back both damaged Terminator FS and Lenti. I sent them a copy of my shipping receipt. As soon as they received my steels they credited my Paypal account and I got both minty fresh new steels in the mail 2-3 weeks later. I also got a crushed FF7 and they sent a replacement without even bothering to want the crushed one back. I've ordered quite a few products from them and nothing but A+ customer service as far as I'm concerned in the 2 instances I've had problems..

diid you send them more than 1 message on the first time you had ;problems with your orders?

Has anyone posted pics of an unwrapped full slip? I'm curious what kind of treatment(s) they gave it this time around.

It looks and feels exactly like a Film Arena full slip. The base material is that same soft, smooth matte coating that Film Arena has used for virtually all of their full slips over the past year, with the same embossed and glossy lettering.

I really liked this look and feel back when FA started using it, but they've completely done it to death--now it just makes their releases seem even more generic than they already are. It's depressing to see HDZeta jump on this bandwagon.

And thanks to the handful of people a while back who kept whining in various threads about HDZeta's releases having both Chinese and English titles/text on their slips and/or steelbooks, which led to the complete removal of all Chinese text from subsequent releases--even their company logo from the spine--you can't tell this full slip apart from an FA full slip. At all. The only thing "HDZeta" about the package is their trademark folder inside the slip, containing the extras.

My GB lenti arrived today (Dallas, TX). Extremely sharp lenti image, though not the most exciting transition (I suppose the sharpness is a result of it having no depth at all). Overall, a nice edition. (My first HDZ.)

 

[spass]

Box arrived today. Like how it was packaged, everything was mint. I opened up the full slip, plenty of pics in the spoiler. The steelbook itself is winner imo. Very happy with the whole set for one of my in the top 15 films ever made.

Looks good, thanks for the pics @spass

 

[Mickle_89]

HDzeta's packaging for Boxsets is awesome, best I've seen. Individual steels, not so much.

 

[Aw 83]

Awesome pics @spass. its a great package to have I to have the boxset to and it holds a great place in my collection aswell mate.

 

[steelmybeatingheart]

happy days. now got my full slip and i have to say i'm very pleased with it. @spass has already done a great job with the pics, so i'll just chip in and say that the steelbook is a good glossy finish, although lacking any 'bossing, and the overall package is very good. the folder the usual high quality. definitely something to admire.

major thanks to @n3wk1d for the GB, and @wxlinkswd for such a swift mailing, too.

one question i did have, @spass, is if you got a Gold sticker with yours, as in your photos - like @cooey, i did not. also, i didn't think i would mind, but i agree with @adarkcorner - it's not obviously an HDZeta release, you do have to look hard for the logo. minor quibbles, though.

HDzeta decided remove the HDzeta LOGO gold sticker from single edition,because the slipbox bottom already with numbered gold stickers,and many buyes dont want to removed the sticker with the marks.
we will try to print or put a sticker in the folder,but not confirmed,and the boxset will try the metal gold stickers in the future.

 

[steelmybeatingheart]

ahhh... many thanks.

 

[spass]

@steelmybeatingheart

I agree with @adarkcorner as well. I don't mind Chinese writing on Chinese releases at all, same with Korean writing on Korean releases.
There's no doubt where this release is from on the 1/4 slip though.

The limitation is splitted as follows:
Box - 300 copies
Lenticular - 1.100 copies
Full - 500 copies
Quarter - 400 copies

This would be 2.100 copies in total. I'm sure that I've read the quarter slip edition was only available in boxset?

From reading the total qty that makes 2500 copies. Total qty includes the boxset as 3 editions.

Forget the 1/4 slip as it's in the boxset.
The boxset is 300 x 3 for each FS/Lenti/Quater slip = 900 copies
Lenti - 1100 copies
FS - 500 copies
Total = 2,500 copes

A few pics of mine........



I didn't realise that the full slip was made out of that velvety type material we see on Film Arena slipcovers a lot. I thought it was glossy from the previous pics. It's a dust magnet!!

Steelbook itself is awesome. Thanks to @wxlinkswd and everyone involved at HDZeta

Very nice pics. I´m gonna send my Fullslip back for replacement tomorrow, but can´t wait to get my hands on that beautiful glossy steelie. It´s probably another two weeks waiting .

Btw I decided to stay with Fullslip instead of Lenti. The more I look at it, the more I like it. And that velvety finish is nice. If you keep your premiums in protective slipcovers, no need to be worried about dust

Got my lenti slip today:

It's a sound edition I think, but not overwhelmingly nice. Hopefully the steelbook is alright (scratches, dust inclusion etc.).

Speaking of which...

I hate it so much when the spine print is misaligned (i.e. not centered). Check the Regency and Warner Brothers logos. The title's also a tad off-center, but it's not as prominent as the logos below. Funny thing is the "Blu-Ray" logo at the top is dead center. I guess they print those spines in several runs or why would some elements shift out of place?

Anyway, thanks @n3wk1d and @wxlinkswd for the GB.

Cheers
