The nice DHL man just dropped it off. The packaging was a bit battered, so I was dreading opening it... but thankfully all is ok!

It's a nice little set. The box is actually a lot sturdier than I expected, and although everything is just stacked on top of each other, it's quite compact, so there's no room for anything to rattle about inside.

I'm pretty pleased with it overall.

I had a Drive oriented mail-day today, received this box together with the HMV steelbook and a limited edition poster designed by James White. Now to watch the movie for the 5th or 6th time...

Nice one mate! James White is one of my favourite graphic designers, so was gutted that I couldn't afford to buy the poster before it went OOS.

I'm just waiting for the FS exclusive slipcover edition to arrive now, which should be sometime this week if I'm lucky.

Unfortunately the excitement lasted only a few minutes. The poster arrived heavily damaged, and the hmv steelbook dented. I've contacted the store and I'll be receiving a replacement poster, but I have no idea what to do about the dented steelbook, as it was an ebay purchase (since my hmv order went from deleted to shipped then back to canceled a week later).

That poster looks great, do you have any more info on it please buddy?

With regards to the Drive steelbook, email the seller ASAP for a refund and try to get another....... maybe worth seeing if there are any spare copies in the group buy section here

Damn, sorry to hear that. But at least you're getting a replacement poster! As for the Steelbook, try what Cooey suggested.

Here's pretty much all you need to know about it mate... link.

No problem mate.

For some reason I was under the impression it sold out a while ago, but it seems it's still available to buy through his store.

I got this one yesterday, I must say that the size of the box is very nice, not too big. I already have space issues on my shelfs

Amazing collection!

Is the FNAC Box region free bluray?

Thanks mate.

I'm unable to test it myself (I only have a Region B player), but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it's Region B locked.

I tested it in my Region A player, its region B locked

 

[Noodles]

I tested it in my Region A player, its region B locked

That's a shame.

Thanks for confirming though!

Is the novel written in french?

Is the novel written in french?

Yup, its all in french.

 

[Noodles]

Yup, its all in french.

That's the only thing that disappointed me about this set, but then I kind of expected it anyway. I atually went ahead and bought the English novel yesterday though.

I kind of expected it to be in french, I do however wonder if the blu-ray has forced subs.

It does I'm afraid. As does the NWR documentary that's included in this set... which is even more annoying when someone's actually speaking French and they're still giving you French subs at the same time, lol.
