Would it be too crazy to ask if anyone has ordered from amazon(.co.uk or .com) and if they've had theirs shipped? I'm assuming Warners will send out their own customers, but after hassle with credit card payments, decided Amazon would be easier, but no joy in terms of dispatch... yet.

Did anyone else in Australia order the Elfman-Burton box? I received notification that it was posted on March 30 but it hasn't arrived yet. A photo of the packaging that was posted on the FSM message board had me worried because the packaging did not seem sturdy enough given the rough handling that packages sent halfway around the world to Australia seem to receive, given the condition in which some, much smaller boxes, have arrived at my door. My box arrived late on the afternoon of April 19. I had to sign for it, so WEA were certainly painstaking in their delivery arrangements. Came from Germany and the packaging was first class. Have only had time to play Edward Scissorhands and Pea Wee's Big Adventure, plus a quick look through the book, but I'm satisfied with the music box.

Yes, it finally arrives. It looks great and aside from a few marks on the corners of the lid the box is fine. The contents are just amazing and even a brief flick through the book shows it to be an outstanding piece of work. Only downside is that the zeotrope doesn't freely spin around (the swirly bit on the other side does) and the music chip doesn't work. I wonder if it is worth contacting Warner and seeing if they can send me a replacement lid. I sure as hell don't want to have to return the whole set now I finally have it. Check through this thread. I had the same issue with the music chip. It's fixed by removing a few screws.

So, a few running repairs which really shouldn't have been necessary if greater care had been taken over during construction but only minor touches and overall I am extremely happy with the box. Consider it some weekend tinkering in the garage

I meant to say this before. Thanks to whoever had the idea of making the opening the box video. I bet I would have gone wrong in a number of ways without it. I have to admit this is probably THE most impressive film music item I have ever seen. I know I made one of opening the box up, but only discovering a certain kids doll in it. he he heee Mine finally arrived yesterday! I must admit...about time! Endless delays almost killed the joy for me...but then I got the shipping confirmation.. Great news. I know you've waited on it for quite a while!!
