Damn, I'm wrong all over the place. Except my last post
@Jay: I trusted you to know when I said stuff, you have disappointed me...

Keep in mind that your posts are all we have to go on to know your meanings and intentions. So you may not personally need to "calm the fuck down," but your writing style certainly does.

I love all this exploration of the minutiae of my order which I've said repeatedly has nothing to do with my position. You guys are such a curiosity.

Has anyone ever seen a properly-subtitled version of the director's cut (which I'm assuming would be the Tartan special edition)? All I've seen is Starmax's version, and the text leaves a lot to be desired. I'm actually stoked to see that cut with a new subtitle translation, even though I know that my preference lies with the theatrical version.

However, since multiple people here think that you're ranting and bent out of shape, the problem is more likely with your communication style, which is conveying meanings you apparently don't intend, to the point that when you say "no, no, I really don't care that much," people don't believe you.
I really think my own theory may have something to it. Most people who post unpopular opinions just defend/explain them once or twice and then say "Whatever, man... I've said my bit" and proceed to ignore the follow-up questions/comments. People probably aren't familiar with seeing anyone spend this much time defending/explaining an unpopular opinion without insane ranting.
Seriously, maybe I am insane, but please give me something to go on here. When you're trying to convince someone of something, evidence is always a help.

This may not make much sense after it's written, but I partially agree with Doctorossi. For me personally, I immediately ordered this from Amazon.uk after reading about the limited availability of 5000 posted here. I knew this would be a pretty popular release due to its "cult" status, so I didn't wait (as I normally would) for confirmation of extras, region coding, etc. I have a few numbered edition releases, but I don't have any as limited as 5000 so that was a selling point to me, and Arrow had stated pretty confidently that no more would be made. When the announcement that it was raised to 10,000 was released, I was torn. Part of me was disappointed that some of the coolness factor (to me) was gone as I do have other xxx of 10,000 releases, but at the same time I felt relieved that I now was pretty much guaranteed to at least receive one. Was the numbering the only reason I was getting this? Absolutely not (I currently have the Starmax and was definitely looking at this as an upgrade), but it was a part of it. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of it even if there is a little lingering disappointment.

"Still waiting for mine."
"Me, too."
"Wonder if it'll come today."
etc.
doesn't really get us anywhere, IMO.

I can't believe no one on this board got their copy yet.

Did this thread take a turn...
Wonder if it'll come today.
I don't recall has anyone commented on it that actually has it? I don't want to wade back through 5+ pages of numbering discussion.

Mine is not here yet. Amazon UK has been slooooooow this month. I usually get Royal Mail in 1 week and it's been taking 2-3 since November. The only people I've been seeing get it so far are those that paid for Express shipping.
Please todaaay.

Ohwell. Life goes on. As for Battle Royale, I would've liked to have seen Arrow keep the numbered sets to 5,000. They then could produce as many as they wanted without the number. Again, no biggie to get upset about.

I did a little comment on the pic quality and other stuff that came with it on page 15.

Just checked...Nope, but I did get a package from Amazon. Metropolis! (Ooh! I really like the lenticular cover.)

Mine arrived yesterday, but I wasn't home to receive it, so I'm picking it up today on the way home. Hopefully that bodes well for others here.

Thanks for the picture!
I was going to pass on it but I'm almost tempted to order after seeing pictures of the actual set.
