Mine has that issue too...I think some "Goo Gone" will fix it.

Mine is No. 985. I was curious myself just how many of these were made.

I can't remember for sure, but it's over a foot long and maybe 8-9 inches high. It's smaller than the Blade Runner briefcase and the WB gift sets.


Mine has those marks on the front and back. It's not too noticeable. I think my number is under 500, but I can't remember for sure.

Maybe by Thursday!

Amazon UK decided to ship me a new one, but now they want the old one shipped back...and I have to pay the postage - isn't that going to cost me more than the item is worth?!

Where are you and when did you order it? I am in Macon, and mine arrived in town Wednesday and since I had it shipped to work I didn't get mine until Monday.

You guys have me on the edge of my seat with the up-to-the-minute details of the minutia of your shipping statuses. How exciting it all must be for you.

What will happen tomorrow?!

Tomorrow we open the box to find....Gwenyth Paltrow's head!

If you want to steer the discussion back to the films, go ahead.

I received my deluxe version of Hitchcock (Amazon.uk) yesterday and I'm very happy with it. Excellent display packaging.

The first thing I did was took out a few titles that were heavily criticized for there PQ and directly compared them to the DVDs from the set released 6 years ago (the one with the velvet case). The Man Who Knew Too Much and Family Plot look sooo much better on Blu-ray, the difference is very striking. So while these titles don't compare favorably with the better transfers in the BLu-ray set, they DO compare very favorably with the DVD versions.

My guess is that most (if not all) of these transfers are from the same master and the relative upgrade from the DVD will be about equal and the difference in PQ between titles in the Blu-ray set will likewise be about the same as the difference in PQ among titles in the DVD set.

SPOILER THAT SHIT!

Wait - which Hitchcock movie was that??

I received my Hitchcock Limited Edition Set No.2034 yesterday. My shippingbox had damage as well but the set itself was not affected at all and is in good condition. I did notice that handling the black book cover even gently still left visible fingerprint marks throughout the surface. Hopefully with time these imprints will disappear. I've only played the SABOTEUR disc, but am impressed by the transfer so far.
I have a feeling this set will not be available in the US, so I'm glad I got this when it was in pre-order two weeks ago from Amazon.uk.

[harumph!]



I'm convinced here in DC - mail goes through more scrutiny from overseas than any other state.

Should I post my latest shipping update or leave the good Doctor guessing?

Got mine finally yesterday. Somehow landed #0040, was pleasantly surprised to land such a low number.
Set looks great, love all the extras.

You got us this far. Don't leave us hanging!

Send him a PM!

Mine shipped out on Nov 10th, still nothing. Getting worried.

Still estimated Nov 30th. And this is to Indiana, too, so it's not like I live on the North Pole.

That's the shocking climax of the Hitchcock classic 'Head in a Box'.

"Head in a Box" appeared during the second season of Alfred Hitchcock Presents ... of course.

And it has arrived .

After reading through this entire thread, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned "Dial H for Hitchcock"! The fact that such an excellent documentary was excluded from the bonus features of the Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection is a glaring omission by Universal.

Has anyone heard of plans for a future blu-ray release?

Never heard of it. Never got the set either. Tell me about it.

Was this a Universal sanctioned documentary? If it wasn't, that may be why. Not being able to get the rights to it. Was this in the Masterpiece Collection DVD set?
