Thanks guys! :thumbs: There's a lot of love in those pictures.......:hilarious: :D

Seriously it shows! Those pics in the dark with light coming through the blinds, causing those melancholic reflections on the surface are a work of art in themselves! :thumbs:

I bet bunch of full slip copies are sold after Earthscope's photos:D:thumbs:

Sold out isn't it? EEK!
 
Surprised it took as long as it did to go OOS.

It would've been sold out the moment earthscope's photos went up.

I ordered the lenticular for my son on release, but I would've also got him the full slip also if I would have known what it looked like! I've never seen a full slip like this!!!!! EEK!

We both loved the film when we saw it upon theatrical release.

I originally ordered the Lenticular of this, as soon as I saw pictures of the full slip I went back and ordered that as well. Did the same with Amelie!

After looking at earthscope's wonderful pics, the full slip is an absolute beauty :scat:

I have to admit before pulling the trigger on the full slip I was seriously considering paying extreme prices from either the trade section or evilbay for the lenticular :ohno: but glad I went for the full slip at the end :LOL:

Can't wait to get this in hand! :oohyeah:

Thanks for the pics earthscope :thumbs:
 
The quality and finish of the full slip looks nice, however I found neither of the artworks appealing. The lenticular appealed to me due to the piano reference on the pavement and the image itself, but if the quality is not up to par, I won't be keeping it (not going to hang on it just because it's an exclusive).

I have a feeling my gut instinct will prove to be correct, and that the 1/4 slip will be the nicest of them all (because the steelbook artwork itself can be seen uncovered). However, that's subjective, just like everyone else's opinion on which edition is 'superior'.

My order has been delivered so I'll get my hands on them later. Looking forward to seeing them!
 
I'm surprised everyone is so easily accepting of this issue... that the "i" may be missing because of the lenticular effect, the justification doesn't sit right with me. By that rational, when I turn the steelbook to either the right or the left then, I should be able to clearly see the " i " , and fully spelt ADRIEN name, but from all the pics I've seen - that does not appear to be the case.

If you look at Choi's original teaser for the lenticular the i is clearly visible and name spelt correctly. I think this is a definite quality control issue. Nobody from Kimchi caught it until it was pointed out here.

Personally for me I would have liked to see a replacement slip issued for this because everytime i look at the steel its going to bother me. But it seems nobody else feels the same way. In a hobby filled with OCD folks, i'm shocked this one has been given such an easy pass.

Yeah, it seems like a replacement lenti would be the right thing to do.
 
Amazing photos earthscope!

I got my copies today and I think the full slip is far better than the lenticular. The lenticular is another blurry and dull image, like Frozen. Kimchi need to go back to the drawing board with their lenticular designs. The gif image is superb but is not translating to a good lenticular image.

The full slip however is just wow! The embossing and detail is superb. The quality is like The Wrestler. Highly impressive.

Thanks my friend.....:thumbs:

Maybe one day I will get the hot pics award like your good self.....:D

I agree the lenticular is no where near as sharp as the image in the OP. Which is a shame as it had the potential to be incredible.
It's good to see that PA seems to have rubbed off a little on Kimchi as the slip box is on another level....:drool:
