I have thought about becoming a GB host for say HMV etc to the rest of the world but honestly, I don’t know if I can deal with the stress.

Setting up toy farm animals in sexual positions in toy shops is my forte

So glad people are understanding this incredibly niche joke

One of the funniest f**king things I’ve ever heard in my life and to be completely honest I was not expecting that plot twist 4 minutes into the YouTube apology video. Genuinely thought it was still going to be about HMV. Incredible

Any clue what type of protection sleeve to get for the Collectors Edition

Any clue what type of protection sleeve to get for the Collectors Edition

Pretty sure they're supposed to fit in SCF17 slips. Hopefully someone confirms before I waste money on a pack though lol

Sounds like they are, and we may get more releases per year.

This is hard to make sense of.
So all these stores are now ZavviGroup's? Or just some punctuation missing?

Thats a list of retailers that was previously part thg on demand division
On demand division was sold to Newco

Zavvi was sold back to Zavvigroup Ltd

Before THG bought Zavvi in 2009
Zavvi was known as Zavvi Group Ltd

 

[Lenny Nero]

So punctuation missing, got it.
Everything else I understood.

Well I still have no ******* good update. I contacted their Instagram team on Tuesday who contacted the warehouse team. With empty promises of your order will be shipped soon and we are escalating your problem and will surely push your order out asap. What a ******* crock of ****.

Serious it has been a week since payment now. Ebay prices are for buy it nows are currently at a minimum of £150 with some asshats expecting £300 for it. ******* scalpers.

In case I am not being clear, I'm kinda pissed off.

Maybe there'll be multiple stock shipments to Zavvi's warehouse from EB, that include the Deluxe & Collectors editions.
I know we are still waiting on the Steelbook only lot ( I ordered that regretfully, wished one of the others), perhaps another load of the bigger ones are coming with it mate.

I mean at this point I can only assume and hope thats the case. It's still not cancelled so still hoping.
