@Vegano someone over on another forum emailed second sight it's apparently limited to 4000.
I've not seen them confirm it on any social media though.

Ok, thanks for that - appreciated!

Down to £19.99 on Amazon now - but postga is £1.99 i think. How do Anazon post digipaks, anybody? Also, i called up Fopp the other day - their price of £25 isn't changing apparently, it's staying at £25 according to the guy i spoke to.

 

[Vegano]

.........just spoke to Fopp in central London and at the moment these are £20. Saves the hassle of not knowing whether the digipak will be smashed to bits in the post,

Just picked my copy up from the Amazon locker, nice set, sturdy outer slipbox similar to the hellraiser or star wars saga box sets with a typical standard digipack inside. Printed ratings logos on the box and info on the back, no j card. Delivered in a standard Amazon card envelope but arrived unscathed.

Received mine today from Zavvi... in a small padded envelope.

There's no major damage, apart from two small indents down one edge that I may be able to press out, and it also looks like someone/something may have pushed down on it causing the spine of the digipack to crease slightly. Also, the soundtrack disc has a few scratches running through the artwork side... thankfully I can't spot any marks on the other side though, but I'll give it a spin in a bit just to make sure!

Hopefully everyone else's arrives ok! Think this will be the first and last time I order anything like this from Zavvi... I'd rather pay a few extra quid knowing I'll receive a mint copy from Amazon, and also receive better customer service (unlike Zavvi) if anything should go wrong.

Sorry to hear that bud. Now I feel better missing out on zavvi's sale on The X Files compete season set.

Zavvi now have this at a pretty good price at £59.99.

Dang it! Amazon UK just dispatched my order.

Sorry to hear that bud. Now I feel better missing out on zavvi's sale on The X Files compete season set.

I've actually ordered quite a few bigger box sets from them before, which they pack reasonably well... in a fair sized box with those air pack things to stop it from sliding around.

This had no protection whatsoever though, so there's no wonder mine has some slight damage. What annoys me most though is that there's even signs of damage inside my copy... firstly the disc scratches, and now I've just noticed that the compartment which holds the cards is torn a bit down one side, so it was obviously done whilst being manufactured.

I'd probably send it back if I could be bothered to deal with Zavvi's crap CS team, but everything looks peachy when it's just sat on the shelf, so I'll live with it.

I got mine also it also has 2 small indents on the edge I would say it's not to do with the packaging but the manufacture of the slipcase

Amazon not the best now when it comes to delivery in Rep of Ireland there is huge amount of complaints on a daily basis now as they are using carrier Asendia and lot of orders not arriving at all as in lost in the post or arrive extremely late and with bad damage
Free Shipping with amazon UK to Ireland is high risk option at the moment unless they dump the carrier asendia they also removed the complaints on Amazon UK Help Community there was that many of them they have deleted all mention of complaints about Asendia

Oh? You must be right then Paul if both our copies have the same thing... how disappointing.

I just got mine from Amazon. It was packaged in a card mailer but appears to have arrived safely. I have just checked it now and there are 2 small dings on the edge. Is it the same as those in bobthesubs pics, it looks like a manufacturing issue @Noodles, @paulboland.

Yes same dings on the edge
Looks more like a manufacture issue than something caused by packaging and postal service
Be hard to notice the dings when kept sealed
They not that big of an issue with me to be honest

Glad to hear yours arrived safe and sound mate.

Yep, mine are exactly the same as in @Bobthesub's photo... very odd and disappointing that multiple copies have the issue!

Yeah it's dissapointing but they aren't massive. I didn't notice them at first so they can't be too bad! Lol.

Thanks mate! Yep it looks like they all have these marks. I'm guessing they will all may have the same issues with the scratched disc aswell. It's a shame but it is a nice edition apart from these few issues!

 

[Bobthesub]

I noticed the 2 dings on the edge of the slipbox last night, I didn't notice them when it was wrapped, I unwrapped it, took the photo and put it on the 'to watch' pile I was too busy looking for bashed corners than any damage to the edge, if other copies have the same issue it looks like it's a manufacturing/packing prior to dispatch problem than a retailer issue.

According to Fopp in central London, this release is now discontinued (OOP?). Just so you know.
