Got a deal for 5LEs (+ 4 standard DVDs) (was excited to get the Foul King LE as well, but he doesn't have the numbered Box (anymore), just the DVD + mask ) I was hoping to get these by the end of this week, but it doesn't look like it. Well, next week probably.

Not this week, either :crying:

Apparently the postman claims that I wasn't home and he couldn't deliver the parcel, so it's quite likely on it's way back and I'll not only have to wait another week, but will have to pay postage again. :arguing:

So far there was always some neighbour willing to hold it for me and at least I've been notified by some card that he tried to deliver a parcel (that way I could've told him when to deliver), but this time nothing, I only heard about it, when I asked the seller why it takes so long

Today I received these two (sealed DVDs for a change):

Little Prince... Lovely!

That Little Prince set looks nice, ordered a set too earlier this week :roll:

. Like the look of that slipcase (looks like the one for Sad Movie).

It's not nearly as sturdy as the 'Sad Movie' one, it's probably more like the one for 'Happy Together'.

No I haven't, because I still haven't received it. :crying:

There's some problem with the parcel and right now nobody really knows where it is. :arguing:

But there are some pics of this set on the forum already.

I don't have any updates and am too lazy to take pictures of other stuff, so there's not much to say. (I just came back from my last Berlinale Screening, did watch 7 films this year.)

Paradise Villa: Korean DVD with slipcase

This replaces my German DVD

At one point I actually had the same German DVD with a slipcase, but I sold this one already.

Elysium: Korean DVD with slipcase, booklet and stickers

This replaces my German DVD with slipcase

This was actually one of the first Korean Films I bought on DVD and this horrible release is what made me sign up on film forum(s) - instead of the advertised Korean audio track they actually included a Thai (I believe) one. I was wondering if that was a wrong pressing or something, so I thought to ask for some other people to check, but nobody bothered to give a proper answer. Since I've read several times that people complain about the German & English audio being much better than the "Korean" one (well that's because it's a cheap Thai dub), I assume that all pressings have this problem. I've e-mailed the publisher several times, but never got a reply.
Even though I wouldn't expect people who buy such a bad film, which is advertised in an awful way, to actually understand Korean (or Thai), but I did think they could tell the difference. Well, I should have learned my lesson and never posted again - look where I've ended up: spending all my money on DVD Imports and staying up for hours late to post pics of them. :lol:

Kick the Moon: Korean DVD with slipcase and inlay

by **jab** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 4:39 am

Mokpo, the Harbor: Korean Limited Edition - 3*slim-keep-case (2*DVD + OST-CD) with slipcase map and senitype

Wow, these pictures turned out really bad. The covers reflect a lot, so the ones with better contrast have been half white from the flash. Also the marks/scratches aren't half as bad as they look on the pics - most aren't even visible when looking straight at the front. (Obviously automated edge enhancement doesn't help)
I'm not sure about that numbered-sticker on the OST-Cover, maybe this set is numbered.

Forbidden Quest: Korean Limited Edition with 2 Digipaks and 80-page book

by **jab** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 4:41 am

Chihwaseon: Korean Limited Edition - 2DVD with booklet in a wooden case

This replaces my Korean 2Disc SE with booklet, which is identical to the one above. The wooden case is very nice (thick wood), but it's a little disappointing that there are absolutely no other extras. I'm actually not quite sure what made me think that this was worth 22€ to me
