Wouldnt be surprised if it came down even further before long tbh (to the price it should have been in the first place...)

Probably... the scrapbook thing looks nice, the DVD is nothing special actually.

I'd buy for it £20 just for the booklet and the DVD which doesn't seem to be that good at all from what people have said about it. Oh and the CASSETTE, that's the real prize there!

Did you get the postcards from the merch stall at the gigs? Thought that was a bit weird.

Damn, didn't think it'd come down that quick. How many of these things actually are there? I haven't got the money for it now, and no doubt I'd have wasted the money by now if I didn't buy it in September. Still, it's a gig ticket's difference now. Stung.

Nah, I didn't get anything from the merch stall when I saw them live, I took one briefly look when I got into the venue for about 10 seconds and walked off. I didn't have any money on me any way but I doubt I'd buy postcards. I went on the Manics store tomaybe buy a t-shirt for my brother for Xmas but all they sell are bloody singles and albums.

Thought that everyone'd already bought the box. But it seems wrong

(I haven't bought either. The beginning RRP £89 is much. There's no big fans here I know dare to pay that)

If I come across it at a record fair and it's even lower than £53 then I'm in!

Can't someone just run off a torrent of the DVD and that'll save me and about 80% of others spending shitloads on a product that will gather dust?

I paid full-whack knowing this was a distinct possibility. I don't regret it.

A lot of people have still not realised the cassette is actually a magical item made from unicorn tears, elfen whispers and the whimsy of gnomes (um, and a bit of plastic). When the magic words are spoken ('eerged scitilop a evah I') and the tape is played at 88mph it emits a barely audible sound that grants the nearest listener with incredible special powers, such as hearing Nicky's voice as he himself hears it in his own head and the temporary ability of alchemy, enabling you to turn, for example, any large cardboard box into pure gold.*

Also, the DVD tastes of chocolate.**




*may be not actually entirely completely partially in any way not not true at all much.
**Do not eat DVD. Taste of chocolate determined in a controlled laboratory environment***

***See '*' but still don't eat the DVD.
