Lenticular seemed to be the popular choice with this release (kimchi's last 2 exclusives ESotSM, DBC--full slips sold out first)

I feel content enough to wait this one out and see if there's an eventual price drop - be it on stores or ebay. There seemed to be little buzz at both titles preorder time.
 
Got my order in for the Lenti yesterday, looks like I didn't have to stay up so late for this, but not a surprise, the Artwork is not quite to everyones taste, and the fullslips are terrible in my opinion, I hate that white one, looks like shite...:D hence the lenti getting ordered.

I hope everyone will take note of this not selling out right away as a clear sign to stop the whole re-re-release thing. That and the fact of this release having too many slips covering a ugly steel (IMO) made me pass on it all together.

I think this not selling so fast is due to the fact it was released pretty much at the same time as Avengers Novamedia (first pre-order attempt) and people are saving their money for that.
 
Against better judgement, I ordered the black slips. IMO, they stood out to me the most. Not a huge fan of lenti's anymore sine they are not packaged in slip boxes.
 
Even though I have bought both Raid 1 + 2 lentis, I do think this was an ill-conceived release, poor artwork on the steel and especially the fullslips, and way to many versions, and it's not a popular film in the general sense of the word. It's a fantastic action/martial arts foreign film sure, but as many pointed out, a combination of poor art, too many versions, poor timing and limited viewer audience.

I still can't wait to get my Lenticular though....
