Same. Proper looking forward to it. Fingers crossed it turns out as a nice edition because the others are all just a bit weak imo and this artwork on everything really does it for me

That and mondo are okay. I’m not big on the Mexifunk but they were the best before this design. Imo anyway

HMV have just emailed stating the release date has changed again to the 22nd...not sure how accurate that is if people have already had theirs dispatched. Maybe their stock has been held up.

Aye, same.
Weird. So have Zavvi shipped copies or just captured payments?
Might be an HMV only stock issue if they've already shipped from Zavvi.
Do Zavvi do the same as HMV - ship but not really, sits in a warehouse for a week or is that purely an HMV trick? :rofl:

I ordered with Zavvi, they took payment a while ago but I haven't had any shipping notification.

Rarewaves just shipped mine. So it must just be hmv slacking.

Real nice release in hand. Steelbook is quality. PET Slip and art cards also look great.

Image lines up well from the steelbook to the PET image too. The art cards have a glossy metallic finish/ look to them and the steelbook has a decent spot gloss. Overall happy

Nice. Sounds positive. Did you go for the white slip? Hopefully there's no hard printed bbfcs on the front or jcard on the back?

No printed logos on the spine though.
Forget to mention that

Lame. Really was hoping the front bbfcs were at least stickers

Took some photos for someone else so I may as well just share them here. Same for Ballerina. New phone too so hopefully better camera. You caught me on a good day
