Harry Potter Ultimate Collector's Editions

[Billz]

OoTP just arrived from MovieMail before GoF, as I suspected that it would (even though I ordered them both on the same day).

If I'm honest, I can't say that I am a fan of the packaging that MovieMail chose to use for shipping. They used a cardboard wraparound, sort of like what Amazon use, only worse.

There are a few scuff marks on the slipcase as a result of the packaging used to ship it. Although, they can only be seen at certain angles. I would send it back for a replacement, but to be honest, why bother when the slipcase is just going to succumb to wear and tear through out it's shelf life anyway? If it were a steelbook, I'd be fuming, but since it's cardboard, it would have been inevitable in either case.

Just waiting for GoF fire to arrive, then I'll shop around for HBP, and start waiting for DH1 and DH2.

What are the chances that DH1 and DH2 will both be released in a single Ultimate Edition boxset, since they are technically one movie just cut in half?

Can't see that happening. They'll want to make as much money as possible and two boxes does that for them. Plus there was two boxes in the mock up when the EU were first announced.

Is there a picture of them in the mock up?

Tiny but you can see 8 editions. Interesting the colours for HBP and DHP2 were swapped. Ad far as I know this dates from when the first one was announced.

Does anyone know what is going with the UCEs of Deathly Hallows 1 and 2?

Has WB said anything?

I've heard nothing yet. I frequent Harry Potter news sites fairly often so I'd have heard about a release if there was anything. DH Part 2 is still selling well on DVD/BluRay as it is so I imagine it'll be awhile before we get anything.

If they are the UE's in this upcoming set, maybe we will get the missing individual UE's.
