I already have the US release but was curious about the packaging and the additional disc. The box is very similar to the Heroes Season 1 box set where the discs are on plastic/acrylic holders mounted to a fold out piece. It's not terrible but would've been nice if it was a 5 disc Elite case, like the ones they use for Blade Runner. I have an extra 5 disc case so I'll move it into there and it still fits the US slipcover. The slip case for the UK version is also thinner. US version is actually a board with a printed wrap around it verses the UK version being printed cardboard converted to a slipcase similar to Rambo, Resident Evil and Torchwood slipcases. For $38 shipped, I'm not really complaining

Here's the photos

Excellent post!! I ordered mine at 12:30 a.m. and it shipped at 6 a.m.!! Unbelieveable, I am psyched!!

JamesKurtovich · 01-09-2009, 04:01 PM

Damn, it's $30 now? I paid $40.

DeadDog · 01-09-2009, 05:33 PM

Some of you guys are lucky for getting your shipment so fast. I'm still waiting for mine and it shipped on 12/31. Anyone know why it's taking so long now?

dancemf · 01-09-2009, 09:18 PM

STILL NOTHING AGAIN TODAY. I ORDER ON DEC 29TH. EMAILED AMAZON AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT THEM IF IT DOESNT COME AFTER THE JAN 23RD. SO I HAVE TO WAIT AN ENTIRE MONTH. PISSED OFF.

When did the order officially ship? And typically, international shipments via air mail can take upwards of 10 business days. I've shipped items to Canada from California and it has taken 3 weeks before. Relax, it's not like you paid for expedited shipping. I would say that I've been extremely lucky to get my past 3 shipments so quickly, which is very unusual and do not expect this speed for all my orders.

bajor27 · 01-10-2009, 07:39 AM

damn it. the price went back up a bit. now I'm disappointed that I didn't order it

Guess I'll just have to keep my eye on it for now

chantm · 01-13-2009, 04:29 AM

Still a very good price! Came in perfect condition for me. I also ordered Casino Royale Deluxe ed and I must say I was amazed. High quality boxset with a collector's booklet. Far better than the US release!
