Hey folks, we're doing something a bit DIFFERENT on this one. A good friend of HDD and mine from the UK will be assisting with this group buy. So I'll be doing exact cost - no credit card fees to account for and I'm asking no markup from my end. What our friend gets us for the cost will be THAT (+ shipping to you).
The steelbook will be released on November 1st, 2010.
CONFIRMED ARTWORK BELOW (there's been some flip-flopping, but our steelbook sources say this is the art)!
Cost before shipping to you will depend on total cost of shipping from our friend in the UK.
The cost of the steelbook alone will be at least £17.99 (that's about $29 USD on 8/20).
TBD for total costs
How I determine cost -> exact steelbook cost + mailing from the uk. NO markups from me on this one. EXACT COST to get them to me (call it an early XMAS present to all you steelbook fans).
Normal rules apply - all members of the group buy assume a similar risk - if a steelbook comes in with a small ding, there's nothing I can do about that. However, I will use a random number generator to "pick" who gets any damaged copy.
There should be NOTHING that is majorly damaged - things ALWAYS arrive from our trader friend in great shape.
Payment is required up front WHEN IT SHIPS, unless you have participated in a group buy with me before. I cannot be stuck with unclaimed copies.
Note that since this is a VERY EARLY PRE-ORDER the price might go up a bit. To be conservative, plan on a swing of a $2 or $3.
STEELBOOK mail costs:
Mailing 1st Class USPS in a box - likely around $3.50 for one copy. EXACT shipping will be charged and I don't ship media mail for steelbooks. 1st class for 1 - otherwise it's priority mail.
