EDIT: The site is showing as 'sold out' and I was going to try and get a replacement set. I'm not sure how Zavvi work - what are the chances it'll come back in?

That's why I originally thought I was doing it wrong by pushing them out. However it is the way your meant to do it, it's just that the perforations aren't good enough. You have to find the best weak spot around the magnetic stickers and start there, thankfully mine came out eventually in one piece. They should of been made easier to come apart.

I'm not sure what Zavvi might say about replacement's, but they could give you £5 compensation like they have to some customers.

The perforations seem to only be on the images on the top, and then almost non-existent on the magnets underneath which want to stretch (and then tear). Genuinely irritated by that because it's one of the selling points of the set. I might ask for a replacement on the chance they get more in.

It came in a week earlier than the email said! It was a nice surprise and a relief to finally get this. I'm leaving the magnets alone because I don't want to risk tearing them.
