^ Let us post the number that comes with our copy. In this way we can get an idea how many copies have been issued. Though I heard some are without numbers!

Mine is 2831
 
This set is the real deal. Between the amount of content and the unique packaging, this is a great addition to anyone's collection. Glad to have it.

Got it today, my number is 1220.

Strange. You just got your set and your number is 1220. Those of us who got ours last year were already past 2000. See our previous posts.

Don't tell me they are recycling numbers? Or maybe Amazon is taking the stock off other retailers.
 
Lmao this goes up and down in price as the wind blows.

The 2 that was in stock when Sigill posted were gone, then it went back up to £101 and now it's back down to £75.


Amazon.co.uk states this btw:
Back-ordered. Due in stock July 14 -- order now to reserve yours.

what does that mean exactly??

The numbers won't be in any kind of order. They will be randomly distributed so you could easily get a lower number than others even if you bought later.

Wow, just about two days that fast. Looks like you are not the only one without a number since hayemaker said the same thing. Maybe none of these they ship now got number? Wierd :(
 
^ beautiful display. Nice matching sets. :thumbs:
Thanx! Yeah, both sets went for that black/gold design. Looks good together indeed.

And this display is just temporarily, as I just took out all my dvd's and is planning on selling them, plus I moved my blu-ray's around too. But it still looks good of course. :D
