Have you tried hmv.co.jp? I don't know the price to Canada, but they could be a little cheaper. It was ¥7,300 to me in the states after the vat was taken out. It actually works out cheaper for me on Amazon, but I don't get charged import taxes.

Got my UK one - lovely steel! )) Just need to wait for No 3 now... hopefully not too long though!

 

[Drum18]

Woot! Got it today! That's what I call super fast!!!
I was affraid when I saw only a simple enveloppe without any protection, but it arrived safe and sound!

It looks great, exactly as planned. Sturdy, green (strange color), no embossing but still lovely box. It fits perfectly with AUJ. The only "negative" I can say is that this one is thinner than AUJ since there's no book Inside. But it's barely noticable...


@earthscope @cowbuster @NazguL66

 

[Drum18]

AUJ and DOS together! Bring on BOFA!!!!
As I said, DOS is a little bit thinner than AUJ since there's no booklet Inside...


And my Hobbit collection so far...


Yes.. you could even put the steel Inside!

 

[cowbuster]

You got it already @Drum18?!? I got a text this morning saying it's gonna be delivered sometime today. It does look good though!!
I agree about the thickness of the AUJ box. It's slightly thicker than the Fellowship version as well but it wasn't too much of a difference to be annoying!
