Thank you very much for the reply!

Does anyone know if the pre-order link has gone up and it's sold out now or has Plain Archive not put this on their website yet?

It's not up on the website yet. It was just announced a few days ago with an anticipated release date in May.

No preorder link yet, I'll try to keep an eye out for any updates. When there are any news I'll update the OP and write a post with information on what's been added.

And I much prefer a keep case with my slip than a digipak like Criterion uses.

Yes, I have so many Criterions where the digipacks have spine creases because their slipboxes aren't sturdy enough.

My guess is the pre-orders will go up around the same time Zero Dark 30 ships out.

Thanks OP!

Great film, it's still in my top ten of 2014 so far.
I'd love to own at least one of these packages, but money is a bit tight at the moment, so I have a question for others who've bought from Plain Archive before. What is the approximate shipping cost for one digipak or steelbook movie from them to USA for the major shipping options (EMS, 'K-packet' is another I think, etc.)?

I'm just now learning about these great Blu-ray releases from South Korea like Plain Archive, kimchi exclusives, etc. Maybe American companies should follow their example with collector's editions, albeit with higher print runs, to help keep physical media alive.

If I recall correctly, it's about $12 for one movie with the cheapest/slowest shipping speed, which estimates "12-60 days" but the previous preorder was my first time ordering with them, so I have no idea if that estimate skews closer to 12 or 60 lol. Someone with more experience might know

My suggestion is go to plainarchive.com and put stuff in your cart to get a feel for how much it costs and options for shipping, stopping short of submitting payment through PayPal (you don't have to buy).
Most of us here in the US have seen good shipping time from Korea to the US ISC sort centers, but since January it's been about 8+ days to leave those centers. All in all, you're most likely looking at ~2 weeks with standard shipping. I've never paid the extra for EMS shipping, so i cannot comment on that.
All that said, there have been a couple recent disasters with shipping (Her and Master steelbooks) for smaller groups of people here. But ultimately those issues fell on the carriers (USPS and Korea Post), not Kimchi or PA. PA was very diligent in the assistance of getting those packages found and delivered again.

Both times I've ordered from Plain, my movies have arrived in exactly 10 business days from when I got my shipping confirmation email.

Does it seem weird to anyone else that no more information has been posted about this? Additional artwork & images for Zero Dark Thirty were posted over a month before the pre-orders went live. With this coming out in May, one would assume the pre orders would start towards the end of April. That would leave us about 2-3 weeks until pre orders, and we still only have the two full slip box designs. No artwork for the case. No art cards/extras. No info on special features. We've only got the one post. I wonder why nothing else has been made available to us yet.

I was thinking the same thing but I think they're just biding a bit more time, we all know we get impatient when there's a long pre order to shipping phase haha. My guess is the week of ZD30 being shipped we get info.

Plain archive take there time with their releases. They are not like america or the UK where they have set release dates. They basically don't release anything until they are ready so we just gotta be patient.

I'm almost wondering if those are two different keep cases. Red on the spine is a very strange color to go with that front cover.
