Received mine this morning. - My first bluray buy.

Pass through custom on 25th of November, delivered today which is 1st of December, slow to arrive but better than never... - Mine's only RM 340++ in total.

Did anyone noticed that Kal Penn (Kumar) was in the movie too. He was in 1 scene in Star Trek. He was a unknown ensign on the NCC 1701 bridge when Kirk ran into the bridge with Bones.

it wasnt him. get the blue ray and pause it, and u'll see it's not kal penn .
