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 :)

I have spare copies of:
Casino - 2 off
Hellboy II - 1 off
Hulk (2003) - 1 off
Kick Ass - 1 off

Please post in thread if you'd like one AND AS AN EXCEPTION, you don't need to have been in this GB.

Oh btw, Steels have arrived :D but see my sig, was called away early today and haven't even opened the boxes. :(
 
IMPORTANT Regarding Packaging

If anyone wants their play.com GB's sent out in the new boxes, I am more than willing to do it. Although I haven't personally inspected the ones I have received all it will entail is me checking the Steel in the box first and making sure I have the right sized boxes. It might be necessary on ocassions to wrap a Steel or two in the old fashioned way (unless that's what you would prefer), needless to say packing it this way might cost a bit more to send. As ever the choice is yours.
