Done and done. Thanks for the tip.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.

Amazon just sent me the following which is different from what distopia recently posted.
So I guess they must have made more international sales than they thought.
EDIT: Well this kind of blows.

Comments:I received word that one disc in each box set has incorrect mastering. Starchild stated in the press release on how to submit the discs for Japanese customers, but no for international customers. Will Amazon offer to replace the discs?

True, but that section where there's that other scene spliced in on top of what's going on otherwise in the scene seems like a real eyesore. I guess instead of waiting for Starchild to get back to me, I can just deal with this through Amazon.co.jp. This blows.

I fired off another email to Amazon essentially begging them if there was a way to exchange just the discs in question. I really DO NOT want to package my babies up and send them back. That would entail me having to order the product again without knowing if they corrected the discs AND another set of exchange fees.

That's good to know. I care more about the BD sets anyway-- of course, it still bothers me knowing that there's something wrong with them. Maybe it'll make the set special as a collector's item?
That said, though, the Archive fuckup still irks me. Do I care about it as much? No... but it means I don't have that bit of the series as it should be. Bugger.

I really doubt Stateside release would even contain the LD version of EoE to begin with. Heck, it probably won't even contain the Theatrical edition. It will probably just be the Revival edition.
But, yeah. I see where you're coming from. Possibly owning less items to begin with would mean having to worry about less items at the end.

Another email from Amazon. They have been communicating with King Records on this.
Replacement discs will be sent to owners who participate in the King Records return program (Japanese residents who mail their discs in) and retailers by mid October. As Amazon is sold out (first party sales) of the Blu-ray Disc Box, any orders placed will for sure contain the remastered disc. The DVD box is still available (Really?! You didn't pull it when you learned it was defective?!) so any new orders may still receive the incorrect disc.
As mentioned earlier, I'm not worried about Episode 25' and Episode 26' as I can very easily cut those (hell, I was already considering cutting The End of Evangelion to match it), but I am more concerned with my Archives DVD since this is a print of a film that hasn't been seen by many people (I wonder if I could just cut the scenes from the TV series or DVDs or another cut of the film and color grade it...).
For me, I'm evaluating if I should even run through the hassle of doing a full exchange. I probably won't.

I didn't receive this mail. So did Amazon JP say something about sending us the remastered discs? Do we have just to wait or send another mail?

Fax still has its niche uses. We use it all the time at work.

I hate myself. But maybe I can learn to love myself. Maybe it's okay for me to be here! That's right! I'm me, nothing more, nothing less! I'm me. I want to be me! I want to be here! And it's okay for me to be here! -- Shinji Ikari, Neon Genesis Evangelion
Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

We also use fax for transferring confidential information in clinical trials - it's more secure than email in many circumstances. I've stopped using it in any other situations, though, and closed my personal electronic fax account earlier this year.

No. The reps at Amazon simply called KR and told me what KR would be doing for retailers and customers. If you live in Japan, mail your discs in to KR. If not, try contacting Amazon or your other retailer to see about a full refund. By mid October, you should receive replacement discs for those that mailed them in to KR. If you returned your box set to the retailer, reorder the box sets after mid October to get them with the corrected discs.
