It's back on!

Gone again. I was trying to get one for a friend... Glad I got mine in a few months ago.

My order also says shipping soon. I can't wait for this beast to arrive.

Kumar J 05-26-04 11:22 PM

Try HMV!They got a few more!

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered mine through HMV and saved a bundle over Amazon.co.jp if I had ordered when it was 1st listed.

Are you talking about the Alien head set or the ultimate collection? Alien head set is definately cheaper at amazon.co.jp.

Btw. Just got shipping confirmation from amazon.co.jp for the Alien Head set. Shipping was upgraded from the cheapest option to DHL without extra cost.

That was quick, they already shipped my order. I guess I should have it by Tuesday.

So is the only difference of the actual DVDs between the R1 and R2 that Aliens and Alien 3 have DTS but no theatrical cuts? If so I think I will sell my R1, and pick up those two seperately whenever they go on sale.

How the hell did you mistakenly order 4 alien heads?! I am sure you will make a profit on ebay.

Can't believe they dropped the theatrical cuts of Aliens and Alien 3 (particulary Alien 3).

Found a very in-depth review of the Jap Quadrilogy here

Kumar J 05-27-04 08:36 PM

I am sure the stores will be having some stock soon if Amazon had extra!

mljones99 05-27-04 08:53 PM

That is one cool set! I don't see how I missed this thread until now....

greydt 05-28-04 09:15 AM

Holy crap that's nice - thanks for the pics Kumar!

Romerojpg 05-28-04 02:02 PM

Superb looking thing! the way the dome comes off is amazing!


and I wanted 3 heads, 1 for myself and 2 to sell to pay for the one I wanted, but the site kept crashing on me and I kept trying to order, 9 time in fact, and it must have took one of the crashed orders and never sent me an email! bugger!

but still looks like people want them, so hope I can sell 3, and my account was credited with the cash today! my god its a whopper, biggest dvd purchase I have ever done thats for sure!

496 pounds! or Just over $900! my good god!

Romerojpg 05-28-04 02:24 PM

does the head come in a Box?
or is it just as you show it! surley its in a nice sturdy, well made box with artwork and photos and a nice window to see the head?
or is it just stuck with the dvd set and toys in a big card plain box?

Pelayu 05-28-04 04:21 PM

I've ordered it! :lol: Finally!

tenaciousdave 05-28-04 07:06 PM

I got mine today. This set is awesome.

The dome doesn't fit as tightly as I think it should though. One side is a little higher than the other. Are the other sets like that, or is mine formed a little off?

Romerojpg 05-28-04 07:26 PM

was your in a box tenaciousdave? :)

tenaciousdave 05-28-04 07:54 PM

Yes, a GIANT box. Here's some pics... and let's keep them here please.

My total cost was $233.33 overnighted from Japan from Amazon.jp. I paid for DHL but they upgraded to overnight for free.

Furious 05-28-04 08:45 PM

Was it well packed in the original box? I noticed yours wasn't double boxed, just curious if the packaging could sustain the usual courier bumps. Thanks!

It has molded styrofoam inside the box to keep it safe, not the thickest in the world but mine showed up fine.

anyone know where, if it available somewhere?
