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

Grail re released. A definite buy for me. A big plus for those who love sealed steelbooks and a nightmare if you recently got the original

 

[nickforall1987]

arent they bored to release same titles all the time? so may new and good ones...ts ts ts...

 

[biscuitnoir]

Look at the description my friend: same artwork as the Japanese one, but with quarter slip to match the art, embossing and debossing (the Japanese one is flat and was never sealed).

Le Grand Bleu has to be one of the most elusive steels out there, only a fraction of collectors have it.

Re-releasing an item almost nobody has, with enhancements should be considered great news. I myself couldn't be happier

 

[Le Marquis]

This is awesome

 

[Deleted member 9789]

hahahaha ah man

 

[Archeur]

Awesome i want =) thanks kimchi

Personally, I see this is a complete attempt at cashing in on a grail, and nothing more. The film is average at best, and I can't imagine anyone is actually after this other than for grail purposes. So I guess on that level it delivers.

Appreciate I don't have to buy it (and I won't be), but this is just... nah. Not for me.

 

[Outlaw1986]

Never heard of it. Is it a movie or a documentary on dolphins?

 

[Blazenumb1]

Thanks OP, def getting this.

 

[rodtp]

Oh yes baby! Great news, great release, great improvements. What else can I say?

 

[domalorite]

Great news. When does the preorder start.

buy all means it has nothing to do with kimchi or this specific one...
its all about the concept....thousands of movies...and hundreds better than most most of the ones currently in steelbooks....and yet...they choose the same one...
i am sure its gonna sell out...and people who seek the first will still be looking for it...but what if it was 12 angry men for instance...it would still sell out...

Wait for KimchiDVD Exclusive #3 then, it's going to be an unreleased title, or should I say, titles

 

[chanfm]

Holy c***! I didn't see this coming.


Edit - any news on print run?


Further Edit - just saw that it is 2,000 copies.

hahah now thats cheeky... ok ok ill wait for the thread hahah but this is far better new for me hahah

 

[SBC28]

Son of a *****. RIGHT after i buy the regular Korean release that recently came out. Oddly, it's nowhere to be found, now. Very strange...

HOWEVER! THIS IS GREAT! I'm excited for this release, no matter what people think about it in terms of "cashing in on a grail". A lot of people love this film, and a lot of people missed out on the first one. Now, we get a wonderful package from a wonderful retailer, and another shot at owning this film in a SB edition.

I praise KimchiDVD for this call, and i will most definitely be purchasing this.

 

[jesse liu]

Gread News!!!

 

[Jericho]

Finally got the original, so this seems about right...

I like KimChi, they've done great things in the past. But I'm pretty disappointed. I pretty much agree with nickforall1987.
