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

[nkb32]

At first I wasnt excited about this but I think I will get one. It will be nice to have a limited steel in my collection.

 

[Jb162009]

In defiantly getting this now as my T2 steel arrived today and I couldn't be happier with Kimichi.

Hopefully the time goes quick as I can't wait to order

Quarter slipcover back:

Lenticular slipcover front and back:

Package shots will be uploaded very soon, stay tuned!

 

[karl01]

lenticular it is then

 

[Steve-O]

Very nice slipcovers. I think I will go for the quarter slip. Or maybe both? Don't know yet.

 

[K4RIMIN4L]

i like the front of the quarter slip but not the back so much, so gonna go for the lenticular cover

 

[Jb162009]

The lenticular sleeve will look so awesome as I reckon the lenticular will be just 1 dolphin one way (which is actual front cover) and them the multiple dolphins when tilted the other way (which is actual back cover).

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Yep, lenticular for me... If there are any stock left or the quarter slip version nearer the release date due to cancelations etc i might grab that as well, but not too bothered...

 

[domalorite]

This is how reprints should be done. It will become a grail that betters the original grail. Thanks Kimchi!

 

[The Rainmaker]

I had almost decided to get the Lenticular version until now. The quarter slip slip looks equally tempting

Without wasting time and being indecisive, I have finally decided to get both. Other preorders can wait

Thanks for the update Mehdi

 

[Marina Blue]

WOW!!!!! Getting both!




Thank You KimchiDVD!!!!!

 

[darksider]

Lenticular looks great.

Hope to get this before it goes OOS.

 

[Choi Chungkwon]

The lenticular sleeve will look so awesome as I reckon the lenticular will be just 1 dolphin one way (which is actual front cover) and them the multiple dolphins when tilted the other way (which is actual back cover).

Lenticular will works like 1 dolphin and the multiple dolphine when tited the other way and titles like VERSION ORIGNALE and VERSION LONGUE together

I hope everyone do not miss the order in price promotion just for 3 days from 8th July until 10th July midnight or until limited pre-order promotional quantity sell-out

There is limited quantity per order like the quarter slip 3 per order and lenticular 5 per order in price promotional period

sooner or later I can share with you about kimchi exclusive #2 sticker and more gift like numbered artcard with dolphin.

 

[jitstark]

Man I'm gonna be a mess on Monday at work as I have to stay up late to order this and get up early for work. But looking at the details for this it'll totally be worth it!!

Lenticular sound great and just like I thought but with the addition of the title which sounds so awesome

Ill defiantly be ordering a copy of lenticular on Monday and numbered artcards & exclusive sticker just makes this release even better.

Thanks so much for all work Choi, we all greatly appreciate it

[cooey]

Lenticular hands down for me

 

[stephen3001]

Looking forward to picking up my first lenticular steel. Missed out on Looper, I won't be missing out on this. Can't wait till Monday, you don't hear that being said very often

 

[wjasoncul]

Looking forward to picking up my first lenticular steel. Missed out on Looper, I won't be missing out on this. Can't wait till Monday, you don't hear that being said very often

I believe it'll be a lenticular slipcover, not a magnetic card like Looper had.
