Whilst the whole OP needs an update, I have split them into Wave 1 & Wave 2 (see Update 1 & 2 below). We are still waiting for more info on Wave 2 (or the other 6 titles). In the meantime I have re-arranged and updated the spreadsheet. Please let me know if there are any errors in Wave 1. :)

This is now a Group Buy of Universal 100 Wave 1 play.com Exclusives. I will be doing a very limited number of these as well. Release date announced on play.com as 28th May 2012. List price of £10 per title (plus usual expenses).

This Group Buy is strictly for non-EU members.
It was limited to one per title (this is due to play.com's restrictions not necessarily mine). If someone in NA wants to volunteer to be a distribution hub so we can keep costs down that's fine by me, at the moment Che has volunteered so looks like we will be able to move forward from there. If Che could post some approximate costs so we can work some figures. My costs will be £1.50 per title, and a pro rata of the cost of sending to Che to cover the amount in full. Obviously if you would rather I sent the Steels direct to you with or without tracking that is entirely at your discretion, all I ask is that you don't keep changing your mind all the time.
Titles that have been announced are (with links to the releases threads):
WAVE 1

An American Werewolf in London - images available
Casino - images available
Hellboy 2:The Golden Army - images available
Hulk (2003) - images available
The Incredible Hulk - images available
Kick Ass - images available


The above have a confirmed release date of 28th May 2012.
There is no confirmed release date for those below and this will known once the artwork has been approved. As a result I will be revamping the spreadsheet below to reflect the likely different waves.

WAVE 2

Carlito's Way - no images yet
Children Of Men - no images yet
Hot Fuzz - no images yet
Pitch Black - no images yet
Shaun of the Dead - no images yet
The Thing (1982) - no images yet


These are listed in alpha order at this stage, merely for info.
MAJOR UPDATE #1
Whilst we await details on Wave 2, please can everyone who has put their name down confirm their request regarding Wave 1 of the Group Buy, also note that Wave 1 is open to multiples but limited to 2 per title. These will then be regarded as firm commitments. Due to the large number of releases around this time it is more than likely that I will sending individual parcels out myself, especially if you are on another Group Buy of mine. Costs system will be advised shortly as this will reflect a small donation to the site.
MAJOR UPDATE #2
Due the delay in the release of the second 6 from the initial wave, I have split this Group Buy into Wave 1 (this thread) and will post a separate thread for Wave 2 for the other 6 titles. I still have all the details that you have all provided and will hold on to those if you want to update at a later date as they (Wave 2) won't be treated as a commitment at this stage. Sorry if it's a bit messy but I'm trying to make it easier for you all at the end.

The thread is taking shape and I already as of 7PM UK time on second day of posting there is interest in 113 steels. We should have more news from play soon, as I can see this happening quickly like the German one and hopefully cheaply.

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.

I am closing this Group Buy to new requests and would direct you to Masterblaster's Group Buy here.

Invoices to follow very, very shortly. Please note I may not acknowledge your post with another, but if I've "Thanked" you, consider it acknowledged :)

:ordered: as per Spreadsheet (at post #79) above. :oohyeah:

Can do more, but will be awkward to do less unless you can get someone to fill your shoes.

I will now take multiple orders up to 2, sorry no more. Also will combine shipping using same conditions as Masterblaster's GB rules.

You will make me very :oohyeah: if you do not PM me about GB's unless I ask you to. It fills my Inbox very fast and takes ages to sift through. Please keep comments strictly to the thread. A "Thanks" means I have noted and updated my spreadsheet. Please check though when the next one is posted to make sure it is correct.

Just confirming that I'd like 1 copy of American Werewolf in London as requested.

I'd like to combine shipping with Chronicle & the Fox Wave if that is ok please?

Thank you again

I know you've stated this is closed but I thought I'd try anyways as I really would like to get in on the Chronicle group buy as well.

If at all possible, I'd like to put my name down for The Incredible Hulk here, and then also Chronicle. I'm having a hard time finding anyone else doing a group buy for Chronicle :ohno:
 
Hi Rat, what I said in the last lines of the OP were "I am closing this Group Buy to new requests and would direct you to Masterblaster's Group Buy[/B] here". I suggest you try there first and see if he can obtain a copy for you.

Hi, I'm just confirming my order...I wanted The Incredible Hulk (2008) not the first release. and I will no longer be needing Casino since it was already released. I still want Carlito's Way in the next wave though.

Hi Dave,

FYI

Looks good but could you send my 4 steels with my copy of The Chronicle coming out a week later. Which ever way will help reduce the shipping costs.

Cheers mate! :)
 
My guess about the colors would be...................do they tie the person to other group buys??
Spot on Che :D

Don't worry, Shane as per Che very perceptive observation, that is my intention anyway. The colour coding helps me chear the shelving for the 450+ Steels that are due and so they can be sent as efficiently as possible.
