Surprised to see that there's no mention of the brilliant CJ entertainment limited edition digipacks.

Just wonder, what the print run of each CJ Digipack is like. Some seem to be sold out pretty fast while some are available for ages. Anywhere the info is published?
 
Its been a long time and things could have changed since 01 but I believe I heard Good Bad Weird had a print run of 800. But yes its curious how some are readily available years later and others are total ghosts. I figure international appeal (as well as home soil too I suppose: Bong Joon-ho has always been huge at the Korean box office) dictated which ones were snapped up fast. Kim Jee-woon, Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho seemed to have about the highest draw and their digi's have always been hard to find.

Much as I admire Ernie's collection, many of the films added to the catalogue don't interest me much to be honest. I don't know what the hold-up is though but they totally need to release My Sassy Girl as an entry - unless it's Starmax behind that one I can't remember lol.. Koreapop were on ebay a while back listing 10 Memories of Murder digipaks at $200 a pop...it makes me wonder how many are being bulk-hoarded out there!

I may look to spring for these elusive entries I want after the New Year... :naughty:

Not that I've found anyway. Its possible the numbers are out there somewhere though. I've always considered them along the lines of the Korean DVD market crash some years back. The slower Blu Ray adoption rate thanks to factors such as Korea's amazingly fast internet and the DVD Bang rooms removing some of the desire for physical media outside the full blooded collectors. In this sense I've always imagined print runs would sit around the 1000 mark - the same kind of allocation retailers seem to aim for when it comes to international steelbook collectors.

That being said in 2014 South Korean big players CJ and Lotte Entertainment are proving to be healthier than they have been in recent years (at least at the box office I haven't seen sell-through figures on BluRay sales) which has me thinking that out of pure capability, later CJ digipak releases possibly have larger print runs.

I wanted to get into it. But these things costs more than an arm and a leg. Congrats on Man from Nowhere. It usually goes for $200 - $300 range. That's like the one I wanted most. For now I've settled on the NA slipcover :D
