Post has come and gone for the day, still didn't get the rest of the stuff - I felt like today would be the day...sigh



James says, "Holy maroni, are they sendin' it to her by carrier pigeon, or one of these lot?"

Actually this photo could probably generate a lot of funny captions
Update take two
Finally received deluxe 2cd today along with vinyl. The vinyl is damaged...sigh
I've emailed Townsend to let them know. Surely not their fault, this looks like something that totally happened in transit... longer sigh

James now says, "For fuck sake after all that waitin' now this! Ah, I believe it'll all get sorted tho'"

Thanks James

I'm kinda scared of that.. Ordered my box from Amazon, and it's free postage so that's probably not great postage...

Hopefully you'll get sorted out with the vinyl, like. Best after sales service I've ever seen, gettin a guy on a fan forum to sort these things out.

I think this is the right thread to post my impressions from the memento box. If not please forgive me. There are both pros and cons for the box:

Pros
The booklet along with the postcards are fantastic

Cons
- The box is too big for its content
- The dvd contains only a 30-minute making of
- The box is very expensive for the things offered (a 30 minute dvd, the album cd, a booklet, postcards with lyrics and a cassette with demos)

Conclusion
Columbia should have released a smaller box containing the album cd, an enhanced dvd with making of, galleries, wallpapers, screensavers and other revelant videos, the booklet with the postcards and the cassette all together in a reasonable price at about 40-50 pounds. Too good to be true, isn't it?

Nevertheless in the end, as a passionate fan I paid 105 Euros approximately for the box but feeling idiot for that. You see I couldn't wait a little longer in order to buy it cheaper. Pure capitalism / consumerism.

2 Disc Deluxe Edition, and that's it. I don't really understand the buying-multiple-formats thing, although if One Up still has the box set when I've got some spare cash, I might succumb.
