Love this movie. Love this edition. Got both 1/4 & Full slips OCD mint sealed for my collection

Plus....I have an opened full slip copy to enjoy. Amazing!

If you're keeping it sealed it lets you display the actual steelbook rather than the slipbox.

Ordered the full version myself last night though, I love slipboxes and always open my steelbooks anyway. Not sure why I ignored this until now, I'd have kicked myself if I'd missed it.

This is why people usually double-dip for the 1/4 slip and full slip. This is actually the first time I've double-dipped on an Asian steel. I did it for that reason (open full slip and keep 1/4 sealed) and also so that I can display both on the shelf: with the slipbox spine showing "002" (Plain Archive's 2nd exclusive slip) and the steelbook spine showing "S01" (Plain Archive's 1st exclusive steelbook).

^^^ yah see I'm not wealthy like NoDingsNoScratches and Rekless , so I have opted for the 1/4 slip only on this one for my collection. Strange, because I am not a 1/4 slip guy usually. I like the full slips and lentis, but there is something about this quarter slip with that sticker that just looks fantastic and classy. Also, I really like the back of the quarter with the metallic lettering (same pic as the back of the full slipbox).

Anyway both editions are awesome, but I already have so many steelbooks that I am literally running out of room on the SEVEN custom shelves that I just hung on my theater room wall about 6 months ago (each shelf holds about 45 steelbooks) so I thought I'd be set for a long while. HA! I have less than one shelf left til I gotta think of something else. My wife already thinks I am completely bonkers insane. So yah... double dipping is not really my game right now.

Right On

Dude, I am totally out of shelf space I've slow removed all standard slipcover and cases to make room for steels. I need to think of something fast!

My absolute fave piece of artwork for both of these entire editions is the back of the 1/4 slip! I kinda wish they would have used it for the steel itself but, I believe it has been used before.

Here's a pic of the backs of each.......1/4 & full

Received mine yesterday.

 

[watkinson]

how long those it take they dispatch an order ?
i ordered this last Friday and didn't have any update on my account or dispatch e-mail with the tracking nr. ... i send an e-mail to Plain yesterday but they dont respond

Did you choose Small Packet? In my experience, they usually ship within 1~2 days, but shipping confirmation email with tracking status will be sent in a few days.

They contacted me today and told me there is a delay with Korean Post for delivering the tracking nr.
so i am in good hope

 

[ChefTrainer]

I love that, i ordered both of them

finally

 

[Man on 1Wire x 6 3]

YES! No customs charges. It's is absolutely stunning. Instantly my favourite steel purchase. Everything is just grade A quality, the slipcase is amazing quality paper, the embossing is so fine and precise. The steel itself is lush, I really like matte so finish is great in my opinion. No dents scratches or anything, immaculate condition and well taken care of. The booklet is great. The trading cards is a very nice touch i think. How this is still available is beyond me.

Great post mate. Superb set of pics.

There was an issue with my order and the wonderful staff of PA took care of it. They're awesome.

Despite being the new kid on the block they're certainly winning a lot of plaudits, and as a newbie to importing steel it's certainly reassuring to hear.

Just got this in the mail from the bay. The number is what grabbed my attention.

That explains why this is not sold out yet!!!

THIS IS BS!!!

I hope it's a mistake.

 

[lgans316]

Got Zavvi written all over it. They are to blame for every cock up.

 

[spass]

It's not a mistake. Remember reading that there was about 20 extras to be given out as promos etc.

Nothing to see here.

You are correct. There were around 50 early promo copies given out to reviewers, partners, as gifts (I guess). I'm just glad I found one!

 

[Marcuszoller]

I'm due a replacement copy due to some chipped paintwork found on mine. I'm hoping for one of these promo copies... It's an oddity
