HH posted it in a public forum (with no tag). It’s not like anyone who wanted it was gona stop themselves and go, “oh wait, zeebeer wanted this”!

Especially when it’s 1 copy lol

And even if they were tagged it’s lot like they might see it straight away. Possibly Days if the member isn’t that active.

Too late, I've been cancelled and shamed shamed shamed - better to be cancelled with Full Slip though

It's not a problem. Someone was quicker than me, bad luck that's all. As @hatredhorror said himself the link was not specifically meant for me. @Lutzo enjoy your copy mate

i placed the yellow sticker on the back lol.. it distracts too much from the artwork

Dragging this thread up from the depths, I know lol honest opinions on the lenti, from anyone who has/owns it? Stary night slip is obviously my preference, but when needs must.

Stary Night version is my most precious wish. I will only have peace when I add it to my collection

happy days. prompted by @samdavies and @eLviS1987, i dug out my shots and video of the lenti from way back in 2018 that i never got around to posting. click here for the photos only in the album , or below for the unboxing. i couldn't get the upload to accept my lenti video, so to see that, it's here in the post, below/scroll down.

this is one of those things that Kimchi used to do and Plain Archive still do well, great editions of films not covered by anyone else . as a film, it's perfectly fine, but the technique and appearance are beautiful, and this set does a really good job of conveying the look and feel of the film.

i like the imagery used for the front and back of the slip, and little things like there still being artwork on the inside from the printing and production process :

i also like the artwork on both siders of the numbering card:

but the lenti is superb, IMHO. it's old HDZeta style, in that it's an up/down lenti, rather than a left/right one. it's actually a bit more subtle and impressive than i could get this video to make out, but you get the idea pretty well. with the brushstrokes changing as the image turns, you get a real sense of the amount of work that went into this . compare it to the gif below from the actual film - they did pretty well, i think, with around 4 clear changes:


the steelbook's been covered above, but for those who have not scrolled back to @moon's unboxing or @Flloydo's excellent shots, here are a few of mine:

the special pack and postcards / poster just add more art loveliness to the overall package:

@steelmybeatingheart great pics and review. Yes, I ended up picking up the lenti in the end. I would've preferred the stary night slip, but I actually think the lenti suits the film more. It's probably the most unique lenticular transition I've ever seen.

yeah, with the film itself being painted animation, you get a beautiful lenti transition. possibly also easier to make it work better because it's not a photo-realist image.
