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.

Damn, it did go quite fast! Sorry you missed it mate, was you going to go for it in the end?

Yea i probably would've ordered if it was in stock.

 

[rodtp]

Since they are sold out ... the first aftermarket copies have already been listed on eBay. Steelbook collection is a funny game!

 

[nicblue]

Wow, I was not expecting it to sell out that fast! Great for PA though

 

[Flloydo]

I wasn't expecting it to sell out this fast either

I still don't think I'll have an issue getting this at cost or less a little later down the line from the bay

Patience usually pays off for me (just recently picked up blu fans lego movie lenti for £30 new and sealed )

Congratz PA! Hopefully some users combined their order with PA releases which are still in stock!

btw

That's why it sold out. Resellers jumped on this big time.

 

[tristar6]

maybe, but cant see this edition above $100.. Pa hype slowed down.

I've got a feeling International allocation has been cut as they were up for a while, whereas domestic sold out pretty quickly. Makes sense to me anyway

 

[lgans316]

Locals must get top priority over the rest. So it makes sense to allocate more stock for the local market.

It is always the odd one under the radar that becomes highly sought after.

Someone challenged me about CA2 Kimchi but look at all the auctions in the last 2 weeks, pretty much under GB price and some close to retail. None of the sellers made a profit. Thanks to oversaturation, weak £ / EUR and high pricing.

 

[tristar6]

several korean retailers still got stock. But i predict it will gone after the weekend

 

[cooey]

Close to 45 shipped. Rewind 6 months back, you would be paying around 38.

Can you explain why that is? I don't think you've ever told us before

Retailers have jacked up the price by few $ which is further adding to the woes.

Most of us resell to fund future purchases and I am sure deep in the heart, people are aware the price increase is denting profits.

 

[eLviS1987]

So much passion for this movie, and I haven't even watched it yet ... now that I have my PA edtion, I think I will open my UK version to watch it. Should I???

YES!

 

[burtbird]

Welp, I missed the boat on this one. Shame.

Looks like there's a product recall on the keep case edition of Oldboy, there's an issue with subtitles on one of the discs. It effects the steelbook release too as they have to reprint discs.

Maybe this is Karma. Charge customers high and now they have to pay more to get the authoring error corrected.

You are saying that like you get some satisfaction from their problems.
In any way all expenses will be covered by customers.
And price has been already discussed many times. This wasn't cheap for them to make this edition.

Sorry, I got no sympathy for these retailers. They can say whatever they want to hype up and prop up sales.
