| Posted: | | | | Okay, had a chance to see the actual set and it is really, really cool. The tie is awesome...the picture does not do it justice! While I doubt I'll be able to afford this anytime soon, it's a pretty darn cool set. The outer box is vaguely coffin-like as well (six sided), black with some white stripes and has a see through cover on the front for those who are interested in that type of detail. | | | Lori |

| Posted: | | | | Best Buy has it listed in their Sunday ad. I will probably pick this up for the collectible bust...something to go with my Planet of the Apes head. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | Target will be carrying it also, it's just not listed in the ad (same price as Best Buy). We had to take one out yesterday to check the fit on the shelf, since the box is so big. It fit, but barely...it overhangs the shelf by about 2 inches, which is the thickness of the cover. I didn't measure it, but I'd say the hexagon-shaped box is about 14-15 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 8 inches deep. Fortunately, it's back-heavy, so it stays on the shelf! Our store got 2 of them, and we're a low-volume store, so there should be enough of them out there between the different chains for those willing to shell out the $120. EDIT: I guess I low-balled the dimensions! According to Amazon, the box is 16.75 inches high, 15.5 wide, and 9.25 deep! | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection | | | Last edited: by Eagle |

| Posted: | | | | I ended up pre-ordering from Best Buy for in-store pickup...just to cover all the bases. If I am able to get one first thing, I will just cancel the order. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | I work at a Borders...so far, no discount from the SRP (179.99). We're only supposed to get 3, have gotten 2 at the moment. I suspect it'll be a while before ours are sold, unless we get a 40% off coupon...even then...not sure how fast we'll sell out. We tend to hang on to stuff like this and end up sending some (most) back. Where I live, tends not to be a big spending place. | | | Lori |

The Box with the slightly higher price has other items as well I that's worth it for you will be your call. | | | Achim [諾亞信; Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| Posted: | | | | So I was able to get two of these today...one for myself and one for my daughter. Pre-ordering was the way to go as I only found one sitting on the floor of the store.
I hope you were able to get yourself a copy Max as it looks pretty cool in it's 'coffin' shaped box. It will be a challenge to get a good cover scan for this. I might just use my camera as my scanner is a tad to small. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | I sent my brother out (since I have to work) to try and get one for my GF's birthday in October with no such luck. I placed am order with Overstock, but have the feeling they will come back saying they are out. | | | Schultzy - http://www.michaelschultz.net grenactics - The art of skillfully fraggin one’s opponent with the use of grenades or other compact explosive devices that are thrown by hand or projected. |

Like you, I think a digital photo is going to be the way to go. Tomricci has some images in his contribution that look like he scanned but they look pretty bad. Can't even make out Jack in the Box...no put intended . This set is totally cool . | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| Posted: | | | | Glad you were able to get one Max. I see Dan made the initial contribution so I guess he got one too.
