It is worth mentioning that this is a realization made ​​by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
For those who know him, also the brother Grzegorz Domaradzki.

[Coop]

I asked them on facebook and they said they want to start preorder in early february, but they weren't a hundred percent sure yet.

Same here, was kind of hoping a copy would appear on eBay by now. I don't believe they sold very many copies internationally/through their website (most went to Korea AFAIK).

 

[djprodikis]

hmm a really nice version of a Lars von Trier movie. Maybe they will think about doing Nymphomaniac, that could have some pretty cool art.

Plain Archive informed new package of Melancholia. It will be release this March!

 

[Bluprint]

To add onto what "TJ" posted above, here's more from PLAIN ARCHIVE:

"Paper, book and Melancholia"

At Plain, we want our products to become like books you could easily grab off the shelf. No more miserable Blu-rays covered in dust, but books that could be opened every time for discovering something new.

"The Wrestler" comes in a steelbook, but we love paper at heart. Plain will pursue paper packaging with different textures, colors, and various post-processing methods to launch unique products.

Booklets are especially important to us. It's where we pour our love for the movie –– beyond special features and the movie itself.

Well, we're super excited to announce the release of "Melancholia" in March. If you missed out on the DVDPRIME limited edition, this is your chance. From a hand-drawn original cover illustration by talented Polish artist Krzysztof Domaradzki, to a brand new booklet, this is a special Blu-ray for fans.

The image below is a movie cartoon drawn by a Korean artist Lang Lee, who is also a singer and a director. The cartoon will appear in the "Melancholia" booklet along with a message from the director Lars von Trier, who also talks about "Nymphomaniac," his latest movie.

For our fans overseas: Plain Archive has decided to support both Korean and English for the booklet of "Melancholia"

 

[NinjaFeetz]

Wow, an English booklet too now?

Plain Archive just continues to swoon me

 

[RekLess]

"The Wrestler" comes in a steelbook, but we love paper at heart. Plain will pursue paper packaging with different textures, colors, and various post-processing methods to launch unique products.

Good news for slip fans. I like both slips and steelbooks, but slipcovers were my first love and I haven't lost that love. I like the fact that slips do seem to allow for more variety. I bought The Last Exorcism just because it had a very unique slip (has a rough paper feel, instead of the smooth/slick slips that are used most of the time).
Same thing with the Les Misérables slipcover. I went in to buy the Best Buy steelbook and that particular store was out, so I picked up a copy of the standard version just to check the special features. The minute I grabbed that slipcover I had to have it. It's got a velvety texture in the middle, where the title is, and a really high gloss on the top and bottom. Also some light embossing. Top-notch slip.

So ya...I guess I love paper at heart too. to Plain Archive.

They really love this movie, didn't they?

 

[Coop]

Any news on when preorder starts?

 

[sminister]

From a PA facebook post this morning:
