Looks gorgeous, I love the postcards. I'd never buy it though, but I'll admire it from afar. Love that Oscar Wilde quote "Nothing succeeds like excess" hahaha.

The postcards are nice. Not keen on the booklet but that's just cause I don't like Nicky's artwork.

Interesting to see he played a John 5 Tele also. They're cool as fuck.

Individual postcards are quite cool, mostly just lyrics but some seem to be copies of postcards Nicky's actually sent.

Overall very cool but not worth £80+, possibly around £40-50 but I'm very glad I bought it.
Just got mine as well. And agree with the above. I'm glad I got it but I think it could have cost less.

You're right about the book. Coming from publishing, that book would have been a pain in the ass to do from a production stand point. It is very cool though!

I just watched the DVD, it's very similar to the making of JFPL one. I like stuff that though, so I enjoyed it.

Oh, I mentioned this in another thread, that I didn't see a number on the box, well I found one; on the bottom under the listing of what's in it. It a low glue sticker you can pull back, I have number 2373. WTF? How many are there of these???

It said 1000 on EIL, but obviously not.

Interestingly mine doesn't seem to have one, I wonder if it's just tacked on to some of them to create a 'limited edition' version of them.

LOL, I never thought to potentially damage part of the packaging to look for a number. My Tesco copy is numbered 2062.

If I'd bought it from the official site I'd have expected one of 500 boxes numbered between 1-500 and for those to be the only numbered ones available.
