Print run and availability for international customers:

In regards to print run, PLAIN first wrote:

Total 700 copies for international customers
Design A: 350 copies
Design B: 350 copies

However, on the product pages at PLAIN the following is stated for each edition:

Numbered 1 through 1,500 (But 500 copies only for international customers)

I asked PLAIN via FB if they had made more copies available for international customers and they gave this answer:

We've decided to raise total print run due to high demand from local retailers. So we can sell more copies for overseas market.

So, actual numbers is as follows:

A total of 3,000 copies:
Design A: 1,500 copies (500 copies for international customers)
Design B: 1,500 copies (500 copies for international customers)

Number allocation:

The copies numbered only 1~100 will be allocated on a first come first served basis, after that the rest of the copies will be dispatched at random.

The following statement is copied from previous releases and I assume it will be the same for this release, however this hasn't been verified by PLAIN and should therefore NOT be taken as true until they comment!!

Matching numbers in 1-Click packs:

We CAN NOT GUARANTEE that you’ll be getting the same number for every item when purchasing this 1-Click.

After seeing the above posted at PLAIN's FB I thought it was strange that nobody had PM'ed me about this release, could I REALLY be quicker than you guys...? I refreshed the page and saw 2 new PM's

Thank you for the heads up (and vote of confidence) key714 and Wolverinejmc

I saw it this morning on the way to work and nearly freaked out, but I'm too lazy to create my own thread or message anyone. Figured it would be posted sooner or later.

[DJJez]

plain archive are on fire this year. novamedia in second place

this year is gonna be a great year for plain releases

[Wolverinejmc]

Plain just flat out impresses me with their selections. their taste is exquisite and they seem to be really gaining speed with their acquisitions. 2015 belongs to Plain Missed Ida in theatres which would've been awesome considering it's cinematography. I'm hyped! I'm just always Hyped haha

[roar]

Just watched the trailer... wow... I'm up for this.

Then I checked moreflicks and it is on Netflix! Sweet! Another release I can keep sealed and minty fresh

[Heapashifter]

They're going to need to start releasing 2 movies a month with all the movies they're announcing.

My wallet really hopes not.

[dbhl3000]

Ida know about this one. Plain is starting to come out with too many editions for my wallet to tolerate.

They've just been announcing a lot of films. They are still only release one movie a month though. So really, nothing has changed!

Since they only released 6 films last year (I think, waaayyy too early for me to count that high), one movie a month will actually mean they are doubling their output...

Ah, my bad. I only discovered Plain Archive in February. I just assumed they release 1 film per month, and always have.

No worries!

I checked their output a couple of months ago since it FELT like they had released more movies than 6 during 2014. It might be because those 6 movies gave us a total of ~15 editions

[rajeevalone]

I thought of ordering this movie on Amazon today ..

Now .. I will just wait for plain's release

[BHolst]

PLAIN just posted Type A and B for this release, pictures added to OP.

I haven't seen the movie, but that front cover to B is simply gorgeous!!

I agree B for me as well

[BHolst]

Hmmmm, PLAIN has removed the post from FB again...

I'll leave the pictures in the OP, but be aware that they might not represent anything in regards to the final product!

Edit: The post has been replaced with one that points to Tumblr and the same 2 pictures are there

[Ray O. Blu]

I like A.
The pink writing and the back cover are beautiful.

[jacobsever]

A looks just like the US release.
B looks just like the UK release.

Not saying they aren't gorgeous slips, but they are almost identical to what's already available. Hoping the keep case artwork will be really awesome! Also, kinda weird that the two colors they use are very similar to the two colors used in OLLA.

[DJJez]

A for me, it just looks cleaner but i will be getting the one click as i have to have every Plain archive release now
