Kimchi dont normally release images of the slips prior to release, has this not been selling well?

They do every now and again, just not for every release.

And no, this has not been selling well (I said right back that it wouldn't).

Why are you surprised that it's not selling well?
There are 2 infinitely better WEA steelbooks.

Why would anyone pay 55$ for this shite steelbook. (No matter how good the slips.)

Who said I was surprised?

There is no 4K disc in the Kimchi package for 13 GBP extra. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Interesting. I'm not exactly sure why i assumed Kimchi release had 4K My mistake.
May be I was looking at the FA page and replied here thinking it's that thread?

Looks even better than I expected and I had high expectations for this lenticular to lol

 

[howarmat]

Got mine today. Super fast shipping. Lenti looks fantastic as expected and the fullslip has the same type of texture as bladerunner with the apes fur and such. Great release all around

Thin slips, crap steelbooks. Time for Kimchi to close their doors or think of a new strategy.

I am feeling your point. Kimchi has gone in a very interesting direction with their slips. They're basically the only premium retailer remaining to offer O'ring lenticulars and bookless (and therefore thinner) fullslips on their WWA dress ups.

They still kick ass with WEA, but they don't do much of that lately.

HDZeta and Blufans consistently give us incredible packages and are absolutely top of the pack right now. Period.

Manta Lab is doing well, but need to sort out their QC issues very badly.

FilmArena and NovaMedia deliver occasionally but less reliably.

Plain Archive damn near disappeared into the art-house world of film.

KimchiDVD is falling behind by a long shot. (and it's time for a name change - overdue actually)

Personally, I see no reason to buy this edition. Right now, Manta Lab is the winner for WFTPOTA with FilmArena close behind.

Say what you will about the O-Ring but the lentis always deliver which is really what matters to me.

I'm sure their doors will be open for a long time yet. Losing a few customers who don't like thin slips won't make a dent to their profits.

Considering 99% of their releases sell out (whether it’s WWA or WEA) I highly doubt they will change their strategy as it works for them.

Arrived today. Really nice lenti and good textures on the fullslip.

But, but it comes with a steelbook spine sticker!
