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

[jello02]

Hey Jello, the 2nd round start date and time has not yet been announced. Stay tuned (you can subscribe to the thread, or check back). Good luck!

thanks a bunch, will def pick up one next time around. possibly 2. really like lenticular slips so the decision will be hard. haha

 

[extremecinema]

Why do many ignore the fact that the price was always set at $44.99 from the very beginning. This was in the OP when Mehdi posted it. A certain amount was made available for early pre order at a discounted price of $41.99. Everyone knew this was the case. It seems based on how the initial pre order went, a change has been made to ensure as many get the opportunity to get a slip version of this.

Quite honestly all these complaints are just a case of sour grapes. YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE If you sourced one during the initial pre order window...congrats. Either way I do not see how Kimchi has mishandled this at all. They were very clear from the beginning and on pre order day 1, there were plenty in the UK and Europe that got their orders in

I couldn't agree more.

 

[townterrier]

Hope someone can help me , but if the second batch goes live next week during the day in the uk i'm on lates again no internet access at work , would somebody grab us a copy

If I can, I will.......depending on what time of day though. I usually finish about 2ish...

Am I missing something here? I have been trying to get an account since the first pre-order, and I still have not received anything in my e-mail about an account. I have checked junk e-mail, and tried logging in without getting an e-mail. Nothing...

Ah yes. Had this issue myself. A kind member helped me.

You need to click on the button next to the field where you enter your email address that says "Check email".

It's not worded well. But that button allowed me to move forward with creating an account.

Add to cart. Then you get: add cart success. Then go to cart. It should now show in cart. Change it to the number of copies you want. Press modify. Press Order now. Then you are redirected to the next part with address and stuff. Continue to pay now... and then it depends if you are using pay pal or not.
And remember you must sign in before adding to cart.

Thanks to you and others...did a dry run to see what I was doing wrong, and I think I wasn't pressing Modify, so I tried it with a random DVD and it seemed to work. I didn't actually buy the item, but I got to the page I wasn't able to see the first time.

 

[montana2974]

Maybe they should increase the run to 4,000 and leave the price at $41.99?

Everyone could get one and be happy with the pricing, and no eBay worries.
