@Noodles Working ok now, I unsubscribed & subscribed again. That fixed it

 

[IRON MAN]

Happy I went with A Loving that yellow Cool sticker too. Call me blind but it's the first time I noticed the red blood on the title.

Got my Fullslip A today , very nicely packed NM, thank you . Didn´t open it yet, but looks absolutely gorgeous

I think this has turned out to be an excellent release (minus the Steelbook which is not good enough for me).

You did it fine

Alternatively, you can upload in the post directly by clicking/tapping on "upload a file". You can upload that way 10 pics per post.

 

[jaffajakes]

I'm starting to think I made the wrong decision now. I actually woke up in the night last night and thought 'damn, did I choose right'

Haven't received my B yet so it's now just a matter of what it's going to be like in hand. I really hope it impresses.

 

[tommyh84]

Which version to open when the box set arrives...

 

[Futurhythm]

To be honest, I don't LOVE either design for the slips. I went with Type A (even though it's super generic) because there's something off about the poster design for B to me. Seeing the pics, I think Type B has a nicer finish and effects, but the finished product for A isn't too shabby.

 

[Futurhythm]

The fullslip has a texture that feels like paint on canvas; it's great to touch. All the text is embossed and has a glossy smooth finish.

 

[Futurhythm]

The Steelbook is definitely where it's at though! It has the same kind of finish those early KimchiDVD exclusives (for those of us remember that far back) like The Pianist and Perfume have. It's glossy, but isn't silky smooth and has a textured feel to it. I'm a big fan of this kind of finish, but I find that the paint chips really easily. It's a really well thought out design too in terms of the use of texture and colour. The katana has a beautiful shine to it and so do the buttons on the Bride's jumpsuit; too bad I can't really show you in the photos.

 

[Futurhythm]

There's something underwhelming about these. I don't normally care for the art cards that much, but there's a certain sense of, "Is that it?" for some reason. There should've been one more set of extras with a gimmick to them like those plastic cards some editions have now.

 

[Futurhythm]

Booklet is pretty standard. It reuses some of the images from the art cards though. Has that happened before?

 

[Futurhythm]

And here's the rest of the booklet.



Overall, it's a good release, but it's also very plain in some ways. Don't get me wrong, it's up to the standard of the premium South Korean releases, and I'm happy to have a cool edition of Kill Bill--here's just nothing here we haven't seen before.

Great pics @Futurhythm
Even though it might lack the last bit of a "wow factor", the release has turned out much better than most (including me) have expected. Love that finish on the slip, it's my favorite kind. That steelbook looks minty-mint - if only all premiums were as immaculate as this one.

Tracking shows my package arrived in Frankfurt yesterday, so if it clears customs, I should have it at the end of the week.
