Log on to your amazonJP account to check out how it was shipped. Amazon upgraded at least the Y900-shipping charges to Europe to DHL free of extra charge.
If so there will also be a DHL tracking number there.

Talk about luck, I went home to pick up my lunch, and there's my package, getting a tan at the front door. Upon first look, it was packed fairly tight, and I couldn't notice any cracks, etc., but I'll dig deeper later tonight.

Sorry, but that isn't true for everyone. I paid for the Economy (Y900-shipping), yet I have no DHL tracking number. I came home today, to find my package, delivered via DHL. Maybe that is only for people in Europe.

You mean they just dumped your Alien Head! without a signature even? if so thats scary!


Hey I paid 900 at amazon and got upgraded to DHL, for all 4 of my Heads! as it was 1 order! so all 4 were sent DHL for 900yen! bargain! :)

reefa 06-10-04 10:55 AM

I had DHL also, for what it's worth. Hindsight is 20/20, I should have done what you did Romero, get some quantity and flipped them on eBay.

I wish I had ordered 50 :) they are selling for joke prices!

I got my Alien Set arrived June 2nd.

Yes! I did too - in pretty much the same amount. 5 dollar processing fee??! Screw them - I'm not going to pay it unless someone gives me a compelling reason why I should.

That's right! Stick to your guns! :lol:

Trigger 06-10-04 08:15 PM

heh... well I just mean - unless they have a way to screw with my credit or something else, then I'm just gonna ignore it like I did the UPS bill. Kinda sucks that they deliver the package and then decide to charge you days later after you've opened it so you can't refuse the package if you want. What can they do?

Bill Geiger 06-10-04 09:47 PM

Shouldn't the bill go to Amazon anyway? Probably not. I wouldn't worry too much about it (I am sure you aren't.)

Can i still buy the alien head? I want it!!

juicerocket 06-11-04 04:33 PM

They're for sale on ebay...but I think otherwise they're totally sold out. HMV had a few up last week, but they haven't resurfaced.

I thought the Alien Quadrilogy was suposed to be pretty much identical to the American and UK set! it has crappy BURNED IN SUBS on the extras! I dont call that anything but crap! I am gonna keep my American set now! :(

spizz 06-12-04 05:47 PM

Has anyone added the set to DVDPRofiler as I tired to add it but couldn't find it?

,

I did, but the latest profiler update was two weeks ago, so it'll probably show up after the next update.

Njål 06-13-04 11:45 AM

I added the set to Profiler a couple of weeks ago, and it show up in my online Profiler. The pics/cover scans don't show online yet, though.

spizz 06-13-04 07:56 PM

Just tried adding it again to DVDProfiler and still not there. I am using the UPC on the outside of the Alien Head Box as that is what I want to add which encompasses the boxset as well and not just the boxset which is available on its own.

This is the UPC I am using 988142187123

I'll check the other extras for Alien before I move on to the sequels... unless somebody more familiar with those films is going to do it.
Sheesh, I feel sorry for those that have to spend $350 on ebay for one! I saw someone on HTF sell their Quadrilogy box for $30.

Kumar J 06-13-04 08:35 PM

I saw a few sets in the sores already a few cancelled pre orders still available as of yesterday!

Well, it shows up in my online Profiler, now also with my pictures as cover scans, and with the UPC 988142187123, so I don't know what's wrong there. Maybe delete it and add it to the collection again?
If you do so, I suggest you look at my online collection first to see if there's information you've added to your local that the online should have, before deleting.

Weird, I just updated my profiler, and I still don't show anything under that UPC either.

greydt 06-14-04 05:56 PM

Njal - In your DVD Profiler link, the Alien head set shows the UPC 98814218712. (no "3" at the end)

Njål 06-14-04 06:02 PM

That's weird. The UPC above is copied and pasted directly from my local Profiler. Someone at Profiler must have removed the last digit?

spizz 06-15-04 02:07 AM

Still can't add it even with that UPC no. Also tried by name but no luck.

juicerocket 06-16-04 11:40 AM

FYI - Just received my two Alien Quads from HMV Japan. They sent it overnight express, it left Japan yesterday and arrived here in Boston, at my doorstep at 9:17am via FedEx. I'm guessing that's why it cost so much for my shipping charge from HMV.
