Amazon still saying not yet despatched for the coffin set.

Anyone else have that issue ?

You ordered it earlier today didn't you? Unless you've chosen 1st Class...

You'll be lucky if they send it out before 24 hours.

I ordered mine this morning and after checking Amazon there now it says 'Dispatching Soon'. The dispatch date says this Friday, and the delivery estimate is between Tuesday and Thursday of next week.

sounds like this set is cursed !! no ones getting it

I was holding off purchasing this, really wanted the Coffin set so I went ahead and ordered from Amazon. Something tells me I won't be dissapointed.

As long as you understand the size of the coffin, you will love it. It is only the height of a standard Blu-ray case, maybe slightly higher. I love it and it looks so cool on my shelf.

I'm glad I paid less for the limited edition UK coffin.

If I would have paid $112 from the US I would have been upset!

Just got the despatchment confirmation from Zavvi. My UK coffin has been shipped. Can't wait to finally enjoy those classics in HD...

[Mr Kite]

Watched Dracula last night and this restoration on Blu left me stunned, truly brought back memories of late night movies on tv. Fantastic.

[rkolinski]

Just received my coffin today; can't wait to bury myself into watching it!

Man, it seems like almost everyone who hadn't got their set yet finally got it today. I'm still without one. Mine still says it's in Secacus (Not sure if I've spelled that right). I really hope it comes soon. I know I should have expected a longer wait time since I didn't do fast shipping, and I'm sure I've just grown impatient, but I'm not a fan of how it sat in Croydon for a whole week, and has sat in Secaucus for about 4 to 5 days now. It's aggravating to say the least. Hopefully the tracking is off and I can get it by Friday or Saturday. Anyone else on this thread in a similar situation?

[(W)KRP]

Mine's in Secaucus NJ too. Got there on the 8th and will not be delivered to KY until the 17th. 9 days? WTF

Update: Surprise -- Got it today.

Is there anything else in this coffin set aside from the discs?

I'm interested in buying these movies but not sure on either the coffin or buying these seperately now they're being released individually as digibooks.

You would probably save a lot of money if you simply bought the Limited Edition UK Coffin.

Inside the coffin seems to be the same, if not very similar to the basic UK edition, the coffin is just a shell to display and protect your set. Open the coffin and there is the basic box, slid into that is a fold out with all the movie discs, a little book with incite an info on each movie, and some movie cards/poster like things.

Honestly for a few bucks more I am so glad I picked up the coffin set. It is just so cool and in good keeping with the theme.

Woah, individual as digibooks? The only individuals I knew of were the UK individuals, but I thought those were just in regular Blu Ray cases. If there's individual digibooks, can you send a link, please?

I read this in the digibook/collectors thread. Universal are releasing these and loads others for the 100 years.

They're not just UK, its all over.

But I guess it could mean other titles related to this series will be released as digibooks, so could be more uniform for your shelf. I'm not fussed by that.

May go coffin, still unsure. These are classics and I don't collect digibooks but this classic monsters may look cool and have nice info etc

Hmmm, anyone else order from Amazon when it came back into stock yesterday? Still not dispatched yet......

Yep I'm in the same boat. Normall dispatching soon sign comes 10 mins later.

Arw Amazon slacking or still no stock?

[Owozifa]

Yay finally got mine bought and shipped. Got about a week to wait with shipping to the US, but plenty of time before Halloween to watch them still.

Didn't get the coffin, instead I opted for John Carpenter's The Fog.
