No disrespect intended, but does anybody here really know what packing is actually provided for the various "gift packing" levels?

Most of what I am reading in this thread is speculation or hearsay.

Agreed. I will definitely be posting pictures in the Amazon JP thread for the complete package and shipping materials of the Y150 gift wrap option whenever my copy arrives. Perhaps someone can do the same for the Y300 option?

Oh, I can also confirm that my PR order details page will not allow me to modify my gift wrap selection. I'm assuming that editing that option is tied to whether the product is actually in-stock or not (similar to adding gift wrap in the first place).

Has anyone contact them if we can combine Pacific rim with MOS japan steelbook?

If they've added multiple Gift Wrapping options, that's brand new along with the new shipping costs.

What isn't speculation or hearsay is that 3 days ago, if you paid for gift wrapping it was 300 JPY. They put the item into a decorative envelope and than secured that to a piece of cardboard and shipped in a box mailer. It was a HUGE upgrade over their normal shipping method of corrugated cardboard envelope.....

So what does the 150 JPY service provide?

PSA

Got an update for those who haven't had a chance to grab a copy yet. I sent an email asking about the availability of the steelbook and whether this "available for a minute and gone the next" was normal. Herewith the reply (note the second and third sentence):

Best bet for anyone now is if someone cancels and you're lucky enough to spot it first.

wow, they're actually all gone eh?

Guess it's time for the long wait until Dec 11

 

[Leshita]

Back in-stock now! http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00F3WXFAM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5

 

[NazguL66]

looks like it's gone again hah

 

[digitalbabe]

No more 'sign up to be notified'...maybe gone completely now?

 

[goufcustom]

I think so DB, since they already put the seller option on (with double the original price) never thought it'd be this demanding...

 

[NazguL66]

I can't wait to see what the final package looks like. Hope it's awesome to warrant all this seemingly high demand

I hope it would look like GWTDT japan steelbook

 

[IRON MAN]

I believe so DB, based on that reply I got a couple weeks ago here

 

[mnementh]

So looking forward to this one. Might be a close contender for SB of the year for me

 

[tridon]

I'm gonna be a pessimist here based on past experience with Amazon JP and say, "Boy, I can't wait to get my dented, looks-like-a-truck-ran-over-it copy and then not be able to have a replacement because they're completely OOS now!"

I did...The origins of this film are so tied to Japanese culture, that the Japanese steelbook was a natural choice.

The mockup pictures do look nice but is it going to be the same dull matte finish Steelbook released by FS?

Probably, but the discs are going to be different. This appears to include a high quality, newly recorded Japanese dub track, that will be all too cool to listen to with English subtitles (provided they are included).

Plus the collectible cards (which I think FS got, but the rest of the world didn't). Plus the Japanese slip/j-card.

Ooh, I can't wait. Hope mine's not smooshed.

Interesting, thanks extreme!
