STEELBOOKS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE SHIPPED on MONDAY, June 25th, 2012. Make that Wednesday June 27 for those not yet invoiced. Sorreeee

PLEASE CONTACT apsmith21 with concerns or questions.

**************************************************************

SORRY BUT DUE TO DEMAND THIS IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW BUYERS, PLEASE GO HERE INSTEAD, STILL OPEN TO LISTED BUYERS

I am doing a Group Buy on ALL the new titles in the new wave at play.com, as per the news provided exclusively to Hidefninja.com. Release date is to be June 4th. Retail prices are £9.99 each, except for Alien which is £19.99. :oohyeah:

The first 2 Steelbooks will be charged at £2.50 per Steelbook, subsequent Steelbooks will be charged at £1.50 per Steelbook. There will be a maximum surcharge per Group Buy of £12. I want to keep members interested in buying this way but the amount of work, external purchases, etc will vary depending on amount bought, remember I am an avid collector like the rest of you and want to do this for the least cost to you.
A substantial amount of time & effort goes into these Group Buys and whilst tips are always encouraged and very much appreciated, they are not mandatory :rolleyes:. A good portion from the surcharges above will be donated back to the site to assist. The amount of donation has been approved.


All shipping/postage costs will be on top. If we can combine shipping wherever possible we will. Any member whose total Steelbooks' retail cost is over £50 will need extra insurance however this will also require Signed For service to be included for our mutual protection. This can be waived if we both agree, but all risk will be born by the Buyer.

Needless to say if you join the Group Buy, you commit to buy, if you're not sure then don't join.

Guys & gals, and this is important (and I don't like laying down the law) but PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS WAVE. If you do (unless urgent, private, of course) I WILL DROP YOU TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST. :tear:

Please refer to the individual release threads for full details. The links to the respective titles are listed below. As usual for a play.com Group Buy this will NOT be for those who can deal direct with play, i.e. UK & mainland Europe. Multiples available but due to demand this will be initially limited to 2 copies per title. :cool:

A-Team
Alien Anthology
Braveheart
Fight Club
Man on Fire
Predator
Taken
Wolverine

SORRY BUT DUE TO DEMAND THIS IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW BUYERS, PLEASE GO HERE INSTEAD, STILL OPEN (last time I looked) TO LISTED BUYERS
I have a spreadsheet below which I will update regularly, please check you are on it and that all your details are correct.

Some of you will note that your position in the "order" may have changed, don't worry it hasn't, honest, also there are colours by your name: these are purely administrative.
Remember it is your responsibility to check it's correct.

Hi Dave,

For the folks from 51 - 60, are they guaranteed a copy? Or are they treated as "reserve"? I noticed that you have a dark line after 50 so I wasn't sure if they are treated differently than the ones above 50 :)

Thanks,

Nope treated the same. It was an administrative thing

I have now posted the new SS if folks could check, and as usual let me know if I've b*ll*xed it up at all. :)

Are any of you contemplating double dip or completing the set ?? If you start your post "Thinking about it" I will not update you in SS, so no pressure or commitment, but just like to gauge how many more might be needed. Many thanks.

I hate to be a pain in the rear end, but can you remove the Alien Anthology from my request?

I have actually already ordered it, however is there any chance you can entice a friend to buy it ? Or maybe another member take this on ? Let me know please.

I'll track it and when I've thanked your post I will have amended your request. OK ?

Details re Charges

I'll be adding this to the OP but the charges for this, and in fact all my future Group Buys, is as follows:
The first 2 Steelbooks will be charged at £2.50 per Steelbook, subsequent Steelbooks will be charged at £1.50 per Steelbook.

There will be a maximum surcharge per Group Buy of £12. I want to keep members interested in buying this way but the amount of work, external purchases, etc will vary depending on amount bought, remember I am an avid collector like the rest of you and want to do this for the least cost to you.

All shipping/postage costs will be on top. If we can combine shipping wherever possible we will. Any member whose total Steelbooks' retail cost is over £46 will need extra insurance however this will require a Signed For service to be included for our mutual protection. This can be waived if we both agree, but all risk will be born by the Buyer.

A substantial amount of time goes into these Group Buys and whilst tips are always encouraged and very much appreciated, they are not mandatory. A good portion of the surcharges above will be donated back to the site to assist with its growth. The amount of donation has been approved.

(I will be posting this in Chronicle & Universal 100 play.com threads as well, and all future GB threads.)
