August 9 Update:

Spoiler

Important Announcement here.

Due to Thanks giving day(biggest holiday in Asia), some color adjustment on artwork (more bright tons and saturation etc) and remove title on the back (not front) raised from feedback of HDN ninja's opinion.

Last friday scanavo told Kimchidvd to delay the final shipment of product.
Estimated release date has to be changed as Middle of October or End of October.

due to cancellation of LGB order in Kimchi, Kimchi will re-open the pre-order for rest of quantity around 16th September or later day (it will be announced soon)

Please kindly understand the delay for adjusting steelbook looks even better and manufacturing issue in scanavo.

I will share the steelbook sample picture as soon as it arrive in Kimchi, might be around final week of September (Steelbook & lenticular)

Mod, Please update release date in OP

Thanks

Major update from Choi 7/13/2013: [Mod. Edit: PLEASE READ]

Today I officially announced the pre-order date & time for 2nd round
as I said before, Kimchi will fix pre-order date & time based on UK time zone.

London (United Kingdom - England) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 13:00:00 BST UTC+1 hour
Seoul (South Korea) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 21:00:00 KST UTC+9 hours
Vancouver (Canada - British Columbia) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 05:00:00 PDT UTC-7 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 08:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours
Paris (France) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 14:00:00 CEST UTC+2 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT) Tuesday, 16 July 2013, 12:00:00

-1x copy per slipcover (2x copies for slipcover was sold out too fast like 7 min, That's why kimchi put more restriction for quarter slip release)
-5x copies per lenticular

here is technical problem solved so far

after you pay via paypal, you will automatically return to main page of kimchidvd and you can go to order page to check if your order is completed.

(previous kimchi, does not provide automatic payment completed by paypal, only kimchi handle one by one to complete order by manually matched with paypal transaction. it's kind of big burden and many problem happened)

and another announcement for shipping

Small packet is removed, K-packet applied for all of item sold in kimchidvd
K-packet is slightly expensive than small packet but there is lots of benefits

- Printed slip with tracking number
- End-to-End tracking with delivery confirmation (No lost shipment)
- Reasonable cost than EMS
- generally takes 5-15 days (EMS: 5-10 days, Small packet 15 -35 days)

but some member are curious why kimchidvd changed shipping method

From T2 kimchi release, Kimchi handled more than 1,000 box to ship out to post office KR, this is a big volume of post office KR to handle only for one store.

so post office does not allow kimchi to accept small packet any more
and asked kimchi to change K-packet rather than small packet due to too many package in one or two day.

after changed of k-packet, pack & shipping process is much more faster than small packet and very reliable shipping method in terms of tracking.

even now, some of member did not received T2 kimchi after shipping process done at 26th June because no tracking available for small packet.

1 or 2 steelbook for shipping charge between small packet & k-packet is only difference around 2$

please kindly understand kr post office policy for massive volume of shipment like over 1,000 boxes and more powerful tracking for lost shipment protection.

Thanks

Update #2 7/10/2013 from Choi:

1x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

Last first batch was

2x limit per order for 1/4
5x limit per order for lenticular

 

[ASHGOON]

I think with T2 the reason it took longer was that it evolved from a normal release to an exclusive. Also due to the fact that T2 had 4 different releases ( DE, UK, JP twice) not many were too quick to order as they waited for specs to be finalized. LGB on the other hand, was a complete steel with all the specifics announced before it went live and the hype behind the title itself makes it an instant hit.

also - lets face it alot of us have T2 already in 1 form or another, either an amaray or indeed a previous steelbook. so good a release as it was, i hesitated before buying for that reason. LGB would be a 1st for me, and i assume for alot of other people too. also it has that reputation that goes with being one of the holy of holies in grail terms, so to get a release that could even surpass it in terms of desirability if not rarity is a major factor in wanting this.

 

[AlexG]

Glad to see everything was taken care of in regards to the paypal fiasco. Didn't want to wait thru another pre order date. No dublicates this time around just one of each is good enough.

 

[ajninfedih]

Although my PayPal account confirms that the payment was completed, my Kimchi order status is still 'receipt of order'. I did send a reply to Kimchi eight hours ago after receiving the e-mail from Tony.

 

[SBC28]

You'll be fine. If you don't hear from them, email Tony directly at [email protected]. Also, please keep in mind the difference in time. Right now, it's only 12:30 PM (on Tuesday) in South Korea, and Choi mentioned that Tony's been up all night, fixing the error you're talking about, and manually matching payments with orders, etc.

So, give it some time, and all will be settled for you.

Okay, so since I haven't heard back from Tony since I told him about my name, first name and last 4 digits of my credit card, I decided to create a PayPal account tonight and write him back with the info he's after.

The thing is, I don't know what he means by my "PayPal address". I've circled what I think he wants to know :

"Identifiant de compte marchand" means "merchant account identifier/ID/login", roughly.

Is this what Tony meant when he told me to "Please let us know your paypal address"? (the automatic email he sent many people a few hours later mentioned "PayPal account", I assume that's the same piece of information)

Your paypal address is the e-mail address associated with your paypal account.

 

[Leshita]

Oh man, missed everything for not visiting this forum more frequently.
So the 2nd batch won't go on sale right away? There will be an announcement ahead of time on the exact day and date it will go up first?

 

[Leshita]

Thanks, actually I went through the whole OP, just wanted to double check I understood everything correctly.

 

[The Rainmaker]

There was no second shot yet.

Thanks Robert, you saved me from a Heart Attack mate

1 limit per quarter slip would been a good way for the first batch
But who cares now, iam happy if i get 1 copie in the second try

 

[TobinFrost]

It's good that there is a limitation , It should have been done in the first wave, then good is better than nothing
