Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.

Fair enough - but honestly the DVD train has left my place years ago
And I'm happy with what I got so maybe I'll go for the french BD in case I spot it somewhere.
And I surely can't wait to get the German Mediabook

More than enough editions for the same movie

 

[Four Foot One]

Finally.

Amazing.

Why does the top of the Oldboy box have the ARRIVAL symbol?!!

Why does the top of the Oldboy box have the ARRIVAL symbol?!!

Also happens to translate to 'expensive'

Congrats @Four Foot One! It's a beautiful edition but too rich for me!

Plain Archive =Pure Hype.

Only a handful of threads... not much posts within the last x months.
Everyone is talking constantly about other retailers (FilmArena, Manta Lab, etc.)

So where exactly is the so-called "pure hype"?

Don't know about you, but I'd rather have an amazing edition of an amazing film than any version of the critically acclaimed films 'love, rosie', 'seventh son' or 'tarzan'. Just my opinion.

Everyone has their favourite company. I shall always buy Plain as their choice in films matches my tastes exactly. Film choice first, packaging/design is secondary.

Nope. Just the bookmark, steelbook and the books.

Check out my Plain Archive collection thread. No more words needed.
My point was that there is no "hype" about PA. PA's reputation is well-deserved.

You can say whatever you want but this release has been pure hype from day one. Nothing is standing out.
