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 :)

URGENT !!!!!

To those of you who have NOT paid the Invoice it is IMPERATIVE that these are sent by NORMAL Paypal and NOT Gift as Paypal has threatened to close my account. You will need to add 4% to the price invoiced to cover the fees.
 
Hmm I might be willing to take the Hulk 2003 if you still have it, but I'm a little confused. Are we supposed to send another payment of an additional 4% or is that for people who haven't sent payment yet?

I think Surf means that anyone who has yet to pay him needs to add the 4% to the total. Since he can not accept any more gift payments, everyone that has yet to pay needs to pay using the paypal goods payment which charges the account holder the 4% pp fee

hey guys, use the paypal calculator. it'll do all the math for you.

ppcalc.com

so if surf requested that I sent him $75 for the group buy, I would use the reverse paypal calc - so it tells me that since I live in the US, I'm sending a cross border payment and for surf to get $75, I need to send him $78.36

You can do other currencies too.

Need further help? You can PM me or digitalbabe. ;)

Firstly Rob, you shouldn't have been sent the PM you were. My bad :emb: Yes I can still provide you with the earlier Hulk as you indicated, however as apsmith21 has stated, fees are now payable so will be a bit more. I will PM you separately regarding this.

Andy, thank you for succinctly putting into words my earlier post.

All but one of my copies of Kick Ass have the The Incredible Hulk card as has been mentioned in the release thread. I have contacted play about this but don't expect to hear back this side of the weekend. Just keeping you all informed, nothing more. :)

btw chip, just noticed you're not taking this one anyway.

I've had to order a few extra in but they should be here soon. Will PM with invoice. Do you want any with wrong card or have them replaced ??

Only if it makes them more valuable and rare down the road. :hilarious:

Show me some pics of what your talking about.

Yes show me some pictures too please...

AND DAve answer my PM please.

Thanks John

As per jimmy's post in the link above. It's completely the wrong card. Personally I don't think it will make any difference to the value just a pain it's the wrong card imo. They seem to be using a different shrink method as most are very loose.

John I have replied and can only apologise. :emb:
 
For some reason I seem to be missing some Hellboy 2's so I can do the last bit of boxing out and have used my personal copies. If anyone finds an extra one in their bundle that they didn't order, can you let me know. Many thanks. :emb:
