Big pass on this. Would have really like the gray color scheme on the mock up. Throwing a gray slip on top of the UK version aint working for me. Just my opinion

So these will match the previous warner releases such as Batman Begins & the Dark Knight. Not good at all IMO...who's designing these slipcovers?
 
Alex this slip cover looks embossed with classy silver writing. I don't think it is exactly like the other Warner releases. However I agree that does not blend well with the purple.

I feel like all the others releases will have the same slip art. Grey background and Text...not sure thats what a collector wants to be honest. I was going to place an order but i'll pass.

I'm a graphic designer myself and I feel they could've done so much better.

Hmm, not sure that's embossed. I think it just looks that way because of the fake relief in the lettering. They've just duplicated the title from the steel itself.

Agreed, they are lazy, as we've come to expect of Warner (generic slips or no slips at all). My guess is that most longtime collectors of Korean steels won't be chasing these too hard.
 
Wish they could get the slips to at least match color.

I agree with all the above comments regarding the Slip...It's a lazy effort I think and also if the slip had blended with the colour of the steel then it would have been a purchase for me for sure. But that generic bland grey again is a waste of a great opertunity to design something special and make this worth buying. ;)

I passed on this whole wave from KR and I am still glad I did ! :p
 
Hmmmn. Same slip design as the previous Warner wave then. Very disappointing and very lazy.

So should we be greatful that it has a slip at all given what's happened with recent WB Korean releases?

So I'm guessing this entire wave will have the same slip design?
 
Anyway I can check the print run but I guess 1000 around so

It seems to me that a couple of titles in this wave were produced in far lesser quantities than the others as they went OOS much faster and are now impossible to find.

The slips might be dull, but one or two of the titles are going to leap in value anyway simply based on rarity factor.
 
I've just received an email from K2DVD customer service regarding a delayed shipping:

we’re sorry to tell you that we were not able to ship the
package today. As we checked the items after receiving
the delivery from the supplier today, there were lots of
damaged/scratched items. We had to return them back
to the supplier. Because the rest good ones were not
enough to cover all pre-orders, we had to delay shipment
to some members whose pre-order came later than other
members. Truly sorry again.

We will receive replacement items in a few days. So, we
need to wait a little while until we receive the delivery
and check them out again. In the worst case, we cannot
ship the package to you if the replacement items are not
in good condition again since the supplier told they don’t
have enough qty now to replace it repeatedly. We will mail
you anyway as soon as we get/check the items.

Thank you

I hope for good news soon! :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:
