According to the tracking on my madman order it's been delivered...no it hasn't. I've been in all day and have had no mail today.

Is it still parcelforce that handle it in the UK?

Hopefully. They need to do something about their tracking as the delivery office isn't my address, it should still say in transit.

Gurren Lagann Series & Movies CE has dropped to £29.99 on Zavvi.

Gurren Lagann - TV Series and Movie Collection

Are you sure this isn't a mistake as I noticed it states pre-order 06 February 2017 which is when the movie collection comes out (which is also the first picture displayed)

Didn't realize there was a new CE set as I didn't see anything on alltheanime website but then found out it's a zavvi timed exclusive so that's probably why, thanks.

Abject joy at receiving my Astro Boy DVDs from Madman today without a penny in charges evaporated when I found one of them had a huge scratch on it. AAAUUUGH!!!

 

[Winkuru]

That's why you never open the DVD's. It's better have shelf full of schrödinger cat's

 

[unknownfate]

The question is whether it plays or not

Congrats, you've got customs!

I see the same pattern with my items, they are flagged as delivered on overseas tracking sites but Royal Mail says they at a depot.

Meanwhile, my order is still. in. Australia.

Postal system is super weird at Christmas and the few weeks after. I had something get through from Japan in just 2 weeks when I'd usually expect 4-5. Meanwhile something that hit Germany on the 10th hasn't moved since. A German figure shop I use is also having a 2 week holiday at the start of January so maybe the whole country is having a break?

It's just odd when almost everyone else has received their order, or at least just an update on tracking. It's been 5 days since my tracking updated.

My madman order is also still sat in Sydney apparently & has been for days.

I better not as i only ordered one thing and even including the postage it was £5 under the limit. If RM try to charge me i'll be kicking off.

If it's any conciliation mine is also still in Sydney. Maybe we should start a support group

As is my second order

Regarding my scratched Astro Boy disc:

The question is whether it plays or not

As I had a bit of time, I did my standard test for these kind of things.

Basically, I stuck the disc in my DVD deck and played through the whole thing in fast forward at three times playback speed. This is usually adequate for me to spot any playback issues. And I didn't see any, so I might be good.

I might give that disc a sort-of-kind-of-semi watch tomorrow while I'm working as well. Which will ruin those episodes for me. But at least I'll know if the disc is buggered or not.
