MY BAD.
Only a "proven adult" member can see the item, the price is 179000 won (127usd), I placed the order with five normal BD, total shipping to Hong Kong by DHL is 35500 won (25usd).

Whatever that was the link leads to nothing.

The standard of this set looks nice, but honestly too expensive.

I'm surprised they picked this for 4K over something like Thirst or an entry in the Vengeance Trilogy, but why not.

Wasn't The Little Drummer Girl shot in 2k though? If it was shot in 4K this might look great.

I thought this series was terrific when it was broadcast on the BBC so this looks like a fine way to own it. I wasn't aware of a director's cut, which is a selling point to me on its own.

BluProofie · 09-19-2022, 04:07 PM

Oh wow.

NeilZ · 09-21-2022, 03:24 AM

By the way for those who care I saw this on Plain Archives social media page:

* The Little Drummer Girl: Director’s Cut - 4K Transfer
We’ve described the video as 4K ‘Native’. According to the LAB tasked with DI, it means: NOT 2K Upscaled.
The Little Drummer Girl was shot in 3.4K(source). While putting the Director’s Cut together, the 3.4K source was slightly upconverted to 4K DI. A mere 1% of the show has been 2K upscaled due to CGI.
The original televised version shown by the BBC and AMC is 2K DI. The IMDB page states 2K DI, which reflects the broadcast version. The Little Drummer Girl: Director’s Cut is available exclusively from Watcha, a Korean streaming service and Plain Archive.

Combined with this being the director's cut. This is going to be awesome.

The Boxset is now sold out.
Good! Now I don't have to think every hour if I might want to change my order from the "normal" 4K Edition to that thing. Dodged a very expensive bullet right there.

NeilZ · 09-24-2022, 02:53 PM

It's the first time I order directly from Plain Archive. Do their editions usually sell out prior to the release? I stuck with the standard 4K cause was expensive enough for me.

Yes. At least from what I've seen on their Instagram page.

cheez avenger · 09-27-2022, 12:07 AM

I went ahead and ordered the standard 4K set. Upgraded the shipping just in case, as well.

faust1103 · 09-27-2022, 10:39 PM

Will this have English subtitles?
I would imagine there are some parts in foreign languages in this.

Yes. They confirmed the non English bits have English subs burned in.

Mobe1969 · 10-27-2022, 10:53 PM

YukiPaolo still have them up, anyone still looking.

ZombAid · 11-25-2022, 01:22 PM

On the Website of Plain Archive:

‘The Little Drummer Girl’ will be released on 15th December.
There’s been a delay to improve picture quality.
Sorry for the delay.

:-( Who would have thought...?

minister_x · 11-25-2022, 04:19 PM

Hmm, improve picture quality how exactly...? Hope that's not a euphemism for DNR.

Guess it won't be showing up this side of Christmas/New Year then, based on that release date!

It's shot digital, so doesn't make much sense.
I suspect that it might has something to do with the Dolby Vision layer, that has been added after the announcement. But yeah, not getting my hopes up to getting it this year.

Mobe1969 · 11-30-2022, 06:07 PM

Looks like my yukipaolo order is preparing to ship. Showing in stock onsite too. I might be misinterpreting the info I can see though.

ZombAid · 12-07-2022, 07:39 AM

Got my shipping confirmation 6 hours ago from Plain Archive directly.

cheez avenger · 12-07-2022, 03:32 PM

Likewise, got my shipping conformation.
