Slips (Full/Quarter and Lenti), Numbered card and all the extras thrown into KimchiDVD's one... steelbook case itself will be identical

 

[ash333]

The Kimchidvd exclusive editions come with Lenticular cover or Full slipcover. This non-exclusive comes with a quarter slipcover.

is going to be the same price?

 

[ash333]

Probably a couple of dollars cheaper like Leon and Amelie.

Just spotted this on YesAsia.com:

The Pianist (Blu-ray) (Steelbook) (Korea Version)

$41.99 incl. free intl. shipping. Maybe someone would like to update OP.

Really looking forward to getting this one.

They couldn't have many. Only 500 printed for all Korea.

Are you sure? That wasn't how I understood it. I was under the impression Kimchi are only selling 500 'original' editions as the main bulk of their order was the 3k for their exclusives.

With Kimchi taking 3.5k, it would be reasonable to assume YesAsia took at least 1-1.5k? I'm not sure now, I'm just speculating, so maybe Choi could confirm.

interesting thought, I wonder that too...it might be also possible that yesasia got the remaining 500 and the print run was 4k? lets wait if Mr. Choi confirms

Even without the bells and whistles the Kimchi editions offer, this is undoubtedly one of the nicest steelbooks I own. While I am interested in seeing what Zavvi brings to the table, they're going to have a very difficult time even matching the design and finish of this. Very happy with this one.

I like the embossing on the slip. Looks good. The piano keys are just slightly off though.
