I also got these in the mail today. I have to say the quality is exceptional. Was worried they may be too big but they seem just right.
Now to work out where to position them.

The one with the black printed title is the JB exclusive artwork, the other is just the standard version which every store has. Their contents is exactly the same.

Btw, congrats on cracking 300.

I actually haven't bought a lotto this year, so perhaps I should

Were those from a U.S sign seller on EBay? I bought a whole bunch just like them a couple of years ago.

Made an order for this:


Stoked, as we currently have nothing but the default TV speakers!

Looks like a few of you have made some pretty decent BF orders already. I haven't had the chance to but just got paid, so will dig in tomorrow to see what I can clear from my price tracker

Arrived today:

Yep! He also makes 'now showing' mini marquees and a few other things. Very helpful seller and will print basically anything you like.

I've ordered one of the Mini Marquees from somewhere else, I've seen them all over the forums and they look fantastic.

He is a member of this site, Brettallica . He wasn't who I went through. What he made you is very similar to what I ordered from someone else on Ebay. I've been considering ordering a couple of mini marquees from Brett.

It's the Sony BDVN9100B, for some reason Dick Smith are doing them for a lot cheaper than elsewhere. Thought I might as well go 5.1, as it's not that much more expensive than their soundbars.

Bought: Breaking Bad: Final Season.

I wanted to buy The extended Wolverine and Mad Men Season 6, but will wait and see until after these Black Friday Deals finish, any one know if the Mad Men Season 6 is region B compatible?

Some great pickups there mate!

Received my Breaking Bad Collectors Edition this afternoon, super excited!

EDIT: Aaaand its damaged! one of the hinges on the side is broken off, and knowing JB's customer service, getting a replacement is going to be interesting...

Argh bummer! What did you order btw?


They didn't cancel any of mine (yet?), but broke it up into quite a few packages - I think 4 in all that will come staggered I think.

I hope it comes in the next couple of days, I'd like to order again but preferably with some knowledge of whether things get here ok.

I ordered Metropolitan, Seconds, Last Days of Disco and the John Cassavetes set. They have broken it into 2 shipments and have cancelled the John Cassavetes I'm not expected any of it to arrive anytime soon, my last order placed with them shipped on the 7th August and didn't arrive until the 1st Oct so I'll be lucky to receive the current order this year.

Arrived today:


The additional disc in a paper sleeve on the side is the Wicker Man second disc sent by Zavvi to add to the Steelbook that was missing the advertised additional cuts. Surprised it arrived already, wasn't expecting it for ages for some reason

[MacEachaidh]

Ouch, Mel! How do they justify cancelling part of your order? Has it become unavailable or something?

They have this new ridicules automated system where emails are sent out requesting you approve an order extension if they temporarily have no stock and if you don't reply within 48 hrs they cancel even it if they now have stock.
The set is a recent release and there's currently a sale so load was high stock was low but coming in and out all the time. I approved the order extension but obviously it didn't register on their website so they cancelled it even though they had stock at the time. I got on chat and asked them to reinstate it at the same price but the customer service agent(if you could call them that) was next to useless didn't respond to my questions or requests repeated the same thing over and over and then ended the chat session with out even a cya later

Watched this in 3D, looked great!
