No picture yet, but I assume it is the White cover.

Right, plus the Australian Steelcase because it's just beautiful!

Morphine · 10-18-2009, 05:26 PM

LOL, please no more. I have the German and UK one, that is enough for me

Wow, that is very nice. Can you tell me where I can get one for myself?

lolototo · 11-01-2009, 06:03 AM

Great, never expect it comes out so early

and it looks so nice

roach_rch · 11-01-2009, 07:02 AM

Great idea how to combine those two artworks! I wish they'd come up with such a solution for Polish release, not that cheap backpaper...

st39.6 · 11-01-2009, 08:56 AM

the steel itself is the exactly same one as czech steel ... but the slipcover rocks. I bought the UK Steel like two days ago, so I´d have both artworks and I cant say I´d buy this one just because of the slipcover (in the end, on the shelve will be standing only steel in slip or without it, not both), so having two is still best option for me.
but the idea is definitely great

Combining the best of both worlds has helped me make a decision: this is definitely the one for me. Thanks for the scans, ych1138!

And for those wondering where it can be acquired, it's available on JSDVD. This is my first ever order from them, so just to make things clear for other first-timers: when you click "confirm order" you are redirected to a Taiwanese bank transfer service, where you must enter your phone number at the bottom field (despite having entered it already during registration) and also make sure to select the LEFT option at the bottom of both screens. The other one probably only works for verified Taiwanese members.

Upon completing the process, wait to be redirected back to the JSDVD website. You will then receive further status updates via e-mail. It is only when your order is ready for shipping that you will be given the total amount.

EDIT: I just received the e-mail notifying me of my order being updated to "Shipping fee charging". What happens is they ask you to add the shipping to your cart as though you were purchasing another item, and only once you complete this second checkout do they actually ship your item. Rather tedious, but what can you do...

Total sum for Gladiator (international shipping) is either NT$1570 or NT$1680, depending on whether you select plain airmail (uninsured) or EMS. I went with the former despite the risk, in order to avoid the local fee. Glad I was wrong in assuming they didn't let you choose the shipping method.

It is only when your order is ready for shipping that you will be given the total amount, but from what I have been able to infer, they only ship using EMS, making dealing with them a bit costly (I dunno about you, but our local postal service charges extra just for the luxury of sending and receiving parcels via EMS

).

I think this is the version I wanna get too.

If a fellow Taiwanese/Chinese forum member can hook me up, please PM me.

Or perhaps anyone in the US would be up for organizing a group buy?

CdnBlu · 11-01-2009, 04:40 PM

Looks like the same case and artwork as the Thailand release. That's a sweet slipcover though!

Morphine · 11-01-2009, 05:33 PM

Nice pics

Wreck · 11-01-2009, 07:03 PM

bad ass!

tribalnoise · 11-01-2009, 07:19 PM

that slipcover alone will go up in value over time. damn i have both the uk and polish versions and i should have waited for taiwan instead!

show us the back of the slipcover!

JudasPainkill3r · 11-02-2009, 12:00 AM

I've held off getting this steelbook cause there were so many to choose from. I almost was gonna get a Thailand one, but this Taiwan version is so much nicer than all of the released so far. Definitely the one i am going to buy.

D-Blitz · 11-02-2009, 12:19 AM

Do you guys wanna organize a group buy? We could save a bit on the shipping charges.
