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

 

[tristar6]

They should cancel all orders from the first batch who got more than 1 quarterslip! Would be fair!
Unlucky process... :|

 

[smileyx9]

For me-Lenticular because i`ll open it anyway-so,no need for the 1/4 Slip

 

[Malky78]

Seems like the lenticular slip is way cooler than the 1/4 slip.

Are people bonkers over the quarter slip merely because of the rarity?

For my personal collection, I'm going lenticular.

IMO, the 1/4 will look better if you keep steels sealed. You get to see the steelbook underneath. I personally think full slips are a waste as you could well have an am ray under there.

That being said....if all goes well I'll get a 1/4 to keep sealed And a lenticular to open and watch

For those of us that had chosen small packet on the first pre-order, will we be upgraded to the K-Packet automatically, or will we still receive the small packet shipping?

How would it be fair to punish people that weren't breaking any rules?

I'm curious as to why the limit for the Lenticular is still five?
I feel like that is definitely more enticing for resellers. Why would a typical Joe Blow need 5 copies?
This should be changed to two so that more folks can get them.

 

[ABjerg]

How would it be fair to punish people that weren't breaking any rules?

Exactly.

Those people wasn't the ones who made a mistake, it was kimchi.

 

[Starling]

Anyone thinking of buying one, 5 simple tips to save much needed minutes in the ordering process...

1. Be pre-logged in to Kimchi when it goes live.
2. Use Paypal rather than having to spend time entering your bank details.
3. Decide the price you want it declared as on the customs slip prior to placing your order.
4. Use the same delivery address as your invoice address if possible.
5. Don't miss out entering details (& phone number), or it will return you back to that page.

Good luck Ninjas!

 

[ayaba]

I'm of work on tue so great timing for me to get one of these.

 

[bigfub]

Need to remind myself to put an alarm on for Tuesday Thanks all

 

[Drew]

1x limit per order for 1/4 slip, that's a very good news. Now 250 people can still have a chance to get this one. This time I'll go for the lenticular one and maybe the 1/4 slip too. For me stills a good time for pre-order, 8:00am, I'll have a good breakfast.

So it will go live for you at 8am? Would u now what time if I'm in Californiabcuz I'm not to sure

 

[bantha11]

It is 5 in the morning for you in California.

It is 5 in the morning for you in California.

Ok thanks

Got a reminder set on my phone......not missing it this time

I wonder now if I already ordered 1 copy of Quarter slip version in 1st pre-order time, then whether will I be allowed to order another one tomorrow in 2nd pre-order time without worrying about the cancellation of the first order from before week? Someone can clearly answer please.

And me......I'm ordering one for a ninja, but I've already ordered one for myself from the previous GB.....

It would be rather unfortunate if I couldn't get the 1 copy I want because people were able to get a 2nd or 3rd copy, but that's just me

Yes you can, It's a different batch, a different day for pre-order. You will get a new order number. Ill order another 1/4 one for me. Read post #1172 from Starling, it's a good advice. Be prepared......a storm is coming:star wars:

 

[yonyx]

I fully understand you, but I do not want another one copy for myself but just for a friend (I do not want to cash in on reselling, etc) but this order would be made from the same user account on Kimchi, so if my earlier could be at risk of cancellation because of this then I will not try to do this. Just asking
