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:

I hear you guys, high prices, delays it's not ideal. If you have multiple copies it's understandable cancelling the excess, save some cash for the other releases coming. Just make sure you're 100% sure before pulling the trigger to cancel your single copy order. If this steel turn up being stunning, and I think it will, it will be a hassle or a big hit in your wallet to get a copy again. I was only able to order a single copy of the lenticular version, and a good ninja friend will help me with the 1/4 slip. I'm very excited about this release ...

 

[rj531]

im hoping to get either of the release.. fingers crossed..

 

[NinjaFeetz]

I so hope it does go live again

Ditto!

It's funny because I've never even heard of this movie until about a week ago... Was talking to a coworker about diving and he asked me if I've ever seen this movie (this conversation randomly popped up after I was telling him about my new found addiction that is steelbook collecting). Then while trawling the forums later that day I stumbled across this beauty... Is that synchronicity? Anyway, I understand how people will want the quarter slip because of the limited run, but for a personal collection I'd definitely go with that lenticular version.

Thanks for patience to be waited for shipping

Thanks for the update Choi and good news for those waiting on their copy. Any update on the remaining stock (or cancellations) coming back up for preorder for those of us that missed it.

I do not think it will be re-lived again for pre order

Rest of them would be local store only.

If any info changed, I will let the people know here

This thread has gotten lively since I got the e-mail that Monsters Inc. had shipped. I came here looking for an update. Thanks for the confirmation Chungkwon. It's not like my steelbook collection is going anywhere. It can wait to add this title shortly.

 

[Steve-O]

why did you lose 9€?did kimchi refund the money as a regular paypal payment and you had to pay 9€ PPfees?

I preordered a couple of months ago and the currency rate changed about 10% in this time so I paid 89€ and got 80€ back.

Please can you ask Tony to reconsider

Thanks

While I totally understand that some missed out on this and of course I'd want everyone to get a 2nd chance to get a copy of it I still somehow think that this should not come back in stock/gets relisted only to keep its value & preorder excitement intact especially for those collectors who jumped on it the minute it went live, but that's just me so ignore me if you don't like my opinion

@mnementh bud good luck getting one mate

Keep in mind, this isn't a reprint, just copies of the original print run that either didn't sell, or have been returned. These will still go on sale, even if it just in KIMCHIDVD's local shop, so they will be available to the public.

This should have no impact on it's collectable value.

I'd just like, as there are copies available, anyone who wasn't a member at the preorder time to be able to order one of the last remaining copies

@mnementh bud good luck getting one mate

Cheers

Choi is doing a great job in keeping us updated on all the KIMCHI releases, so thanks should go out to him

that's very bad news for those who missed it and waiting months now to get the chance to order...

i wrote an e-mail to tony about my two cancellations from yesterday, which are still on "request" and not proceeded yet, if he can keep my orders in.
if possible, i might be able to help two ninjas...

[mnementh]

[earthscope]

I know it's been a loooooooong wait !!!

But I am sure this is going to be a beauty of a steel. With the colour and the high gloss finish....

Will open my lenticular copy but keep the 1/4 slip one sealed.

 

[Choi Chungkwon]

Today I talked with Kimchi for next pre-order session before final delivery.

Kimchi just confirmed that last pre-order will start at 21st Oct. 20:00 PM (Korea Time)

ans 1/4 and lenticular will be available too.

but 1/4 slip is less than 50 copies, please be hurry to grasp one if you like to add in your collection,

as far as I know, Lenticular one will be sufficient for someone who missed it

Mod, Please update date & time in OP.

cheers

 

[mnementh]
