You are the second person I know of, who has received this today. Apparently, my copy (which was pre-ordered from Amazon on the 28th July) is at the packing stage! Expected delivery date is Thursday, 11 September 2014 - Saturday, 13 September 2014

Mind you, it's good to see that the advertised price is now £27.71 and not the £30:00 it was when I ordered it. Maybe I'll get a refund of the difference

Maybe you have an extra special collectors item - a DVD set with the Blu-ray numbering!

I ordered mine from the BBC shop for £26.

It was shipped last Saturday apparently so God knows what lovable Royal Mail have been doing with it all this time.

My BD 50th anniversary box just arrived, I have not opened it yet so it is a bit more stable to be transported home and survive the band rehearsal room later this evening, but it looks good and my number is 00480...

It's numbered 5047.

I got number 01710

Although it is a nice looking set, I am really not impressed with the packaging - it doesn't fit in with ANY of the other releases

Also, I am disappointed that none of the cases contains a booklet giving information about the sets contents - writer and/or director, synopsis, transmission date and time etc. This is a historical release, and I think that this kind of information will be essential in years to come

Haha! That only shows me how little time I had since it arrived, because I have
no yet opened it and checked the contents... But I agree with your criticism, in theory of course for the reason mentione above, but I'll exclude myself from the differen format issue, because I found that pretty good actually, as a fitting format and design would have forced me to make room for it in the place where the other DW BDs/DVDs are, since a pretty high shelf is right below my DW shelf, I could put this box on top of the other BDs in that lower shelf (remember, it is higher ;-)) - all that talk about low and high maybe confusing, but isn't it also very fitting, a bit like being bigger on the inside? I think so

Every single new Who release i have has different packaging. From crappy, huge TARDIS boxes to steel books.

So this really doesn't bother me at all.

If i was going to moan about packaging then Resurrection of the Daleks in it's stupid rubber sleeve.
