Mine was attempted delivery today, but was at work, will have to wait until saturday now, before I can get to the PO and collect.

 

[domalorite]

I am chomping at the bit here!

Still no shots of the steel naked and in all it's glossiness?

I've seen open pics but seems none posted on HDN. Mine arrived in HK yesterday so they should be delivered tomorrow (still waiting for Amelie ) I will open one up but haven't decided which one yet, and I'll post photos tomorrow night.

 

[jlt12]

Not the best quality pics but I did what I could!

Please excuse the fingerprints guys, It's the glossy black.









Bonus dent shot


Overall a quality release with the booklet beeing the same high quality as The Wrestler but with smoother finish.

 

[blu-steel]

You can probably get that dent out and then touch it up with a black marker.

Cheers chip.

I have issues with the back of the steel & am awaiting a reply from Tony. Otherwise will try to get it to pop out.

 

[earthscope]

Thanks for the pictures!

I always wear white cotton gloves when I handle my steels.

That way NO fingerprint marks....OCD I know....

Your the 3rd member to have a ding on the steel!! I'm really nervous now as that would be such a disappointment for such a beauty of a steel....

I really hope it's not on the whole batch!!

Ha may have to invest in some!

My 1/4 slip seems ok. Haven't opened my lenti & other full, so there may be more horrors lurking underneath!

Number 666 about right for theme of the film

So, there is just one booklet which is visible from outside in the full slip edition? No booklet inside the steelbook?

This makes me think now that there is no booklet in the lenticular version...

Sorry for harping on this but have been trying to decide which version to open, so wanted to know what exactly is contained in each....not sure why there is such a mystery around this and why Kimchi (through Choi or otherwise) cannot confirm with details on the exact contents of each version.

I would never accept a steel with a dent like that, no matter who I bought it from. Completely unacceptable that new goods are damaged, I hope you get it sorted as well as postage costs if you're forced to return it. If not, make sure you shout from the rooftops here on HDN.

Yes just the one booklet as in the pic & no way does it fit in the steek.

Only thing in the steel is the postcards.

Looking at the OP, looks like a different booklet made to fit in the steel.

Oh yes I don't plan to accept it unless I have no other choice.

Also just a note to everyone about the extra empty slips, both mine have dents in them, where the weight of the steel has pressed down on them.

The booklet is different for the Lenticular and full slip, much as with PA The Wrestler and how Kimch Rush was originally supposed to be.

In the full slip it is a larger perfect bound booklet, in the lenticular it is a stapled pamphlet.

Considering the problems with many Amelie and Pianist steels I have the impression that Kimchidvd does not spend enough time on QC anymore. I would prefer to wait a bit longer for a mint steelbook. These Editions are especially made for us collectors and are not cheap in the first place. Hope they will improve on this in the future.

I've emailed KimchiDvD about my Pianist Steelbook. It has a ding. As well as the ding in my Leon Steelbook. I will to a couple of days for a response & to see if Kimchi will offer some sort of compensation. Hopefully they can send a replacement...

Has anyone ever gotten a replacement for this kind of minor Damage ?

Yep! I received 1x damaged Monsters Inc steel from them as well as a scratched lenti. I got in touch and Tony said he was going to sort something out for me, but it would take a little while as they were very busy posting stuff out, which I said was fine.

Anyway, a few weeks later, he gave me a shout to say that he'd sent my package out and it would be with me soon. About a week later, a box arrived. Inside the box was a replacement lenti slip and a replacement empty steelbook (as well as 2x Kimchi steel shells). Which is why I have my special edition with both slips on it.

 

[blu-steel]

22 more thanks for satan and he will have 666 thanks!!!

 

[crashkelly]

Mine is sitting at the post office for pickup tomorrow

A week from Korea to Alberta is not too bad at all

Cheers

P.S. He only needs 18 more now

Amelie 3 pack was damaged, so they send me an empty new one.
