The same situation here :/. 1/4 was only inserted in a jiffy bag next to the ammo box. Havent unpacked the ammo box yet but the 1/4 came with loose disc too. And it is super annoying indeed.
I never open my asian 1/4 slips and here comes the dilemma - any suggestion guys? @wxlinkswd @n3wk1d

Me too, man.

If I wanted to open something, it would be the LENTI slip or PET Slip. Of course, so I can keep it protect inside the slip.

But now these x2 1/4 slip with LOOSE DISC...for a collector I would consider it defective and would have never bought it if I knew it had loose discs. I'm not sure what to do...help please ? @wxlinkswd@n3wk1d

The thread on fixing loose discs is here guys.

The tracking will show up as ems/registered post
It's not actually ems you would have with the like of South Korea

It's international registered post
Delivery time with China post is 2-6 weeks and can be longer with customs delays
Your looking at 14 to 28 days with most been delivered in 14-22 days

China Post is very slow and has always been sometimes you get lucky getting post delivered in 10 days but your looking at 2 -4 weeks on average

Ah, makes sense. I know China Post has an EMS service, and I assumed it was being sent by that going by what's on the tracking. Anyway, I just got a message saying a package has arrived for me. Fingers crossed.

Finally got my PET slip, and it was worth the wait. Awesome edition of one of my favourite films

It is really nice. you have to rock it top to bottom instead of side to side to make the lenticular effect work which is kinda different and cool.

 

[paulboland]

Delivered

Packaging was not as bad as I was expecting and arrived safe
It was in a decent enough of a Box with Steelbook in padded jiffy bag inside the box

The Value was marked as DVD Gift $1.00 How I got away with this not been passed onto customs I don't know
Bargain of the century $1.00



A few photos I have not unsealed it yet

 

[paulboland]

I'm not Happy

I unsealed the steelbook and I find this

The Insert Tab is broken
Also paint chips on the back of the steelbook

I also have paint chips on the back of the steelbook

 

[paulboland]

@wxlinkswd
I have sent you a private message in regards to my steelbook been damaged

When you available can you contact me
Thank You
Paul

 

[IRON MAN]

@paulboland Ugh, sucks when it happens, hopefully it'll be sorted soon. HDZeta are good for it as far as I know.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Total bummer @paulboland! Hope you can get it replaced.

@anyone else who leaves their steelbooks sealed and thinks they have a lose disc rattling around in the case.....Paul is proof that it could be something much, much worse.

oh... i aslo thought it was a disc loose. Oh god...

Personally I don't think one broken tab is the end of the world. (And not as bad as a loose disc as they can get scuffed)

You can't see it from the outside and at least there's no dents or dings to the steelbook itself.

It could have been much, much worse IMO.

I'd be more concerned with the paint chips though.

There is paint chips on the back of the steelbook as well about 5 paint chips that's the worse part most were on the spot gloss area and 2 on the bottom edge of the steelbook
I'm getting a replacement sent to me so all will be good

Good customer service straight away agreed to send a new empty steelbook case

 

[BaleHardy]

I really wish the PET slip had artwork or was plain on the back....the printed info kind of spoils it....has anyone opened the Lenticular? Is the back printed in that too or does it have some artwork?

 

[capricornio34232]

Does anybody know what is the exact amount of this release for each edition? Lenti slip? PET slip? Or should we consider our number as xxxx / 3000 based on that card?

If I understood correctly in their Website it is 500 print run for the 1/4 SlipCover and 1,500 prints for the other two versions (PET & Lenti) for a total of 3,500 print. I believe that is the reason why the 1/4 SlipCover was not included in the Ammo Box. The Numbered Card does not mention total just No. XXXX...

Well this sucks. My Ammo Box arrived in the Netherlands but it is stuck in customs. A few days ago I received a letter from customs saying they couldn't determine the value so I have to sent them a letter saying it's a gift or merchandise (+the value) I wonder how long it's gonna take to get my package. First time I have problems like this. I've ordered Blufans and other stuff from Asia (also big packages) and never had this before. Bummer.

Had the same letter...filled it out as gift as I don't have an invoice anyway. Hoping I get it at the end of the week. With Gladiator there were no problems at all.
