You can still hope that Quartet Records will do all the Williams expansions from now on.

I won't hold my breath! hahaha

I wonder how much stock is left.

Who knows but you can always set up a cart to see if its sold out.

I'd love to read an interview with Cuaron about his collaboration with Williams. It produced such a unique and masterful score, it would be great to have some insight into their process. 

 

We heard some words from JW about Cuaron wanting demos and JW saying it would take too long because he doesn't have the capability.

 

(no link, sorry. It was an audio interview from quite a few years ago)

[Disco Stu 15,495]

I'm willing to bet that's one of the big reasons John hasn't worked much with younger directors this century.  They have a certain expectation of having everything demoed with samples based on the technology used by composers younger than Williams.

JKMS makes demos from his sketches for the directors now

 

There's been leaks of their digitized sheets made for Tintin and Lincoln

Ahhh, so Williams figured out a way to do it where he still doesn't have to learn to use one of them new fangled personal computer whatsits.  Good for him.

Ah it is just like Howard Shore had people creating those demos of his LotR and the Hobbit music based on his sketches.

The most MV said on FSM about Potter sales is:

 

ALOT!

 

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Having 10 days between purchasing and when they even start shipping these, with no guarantee yours will be shipped by even the 13th or 14th day is seeming very cruel right now.

Well in the worst case scenario I'll get to hear this next year if it doesn't arrive by 21st of December since I am away from home for holidays.

[redishere 697]

Even if this wasn't quite a surprise, the impact of this release is still massive and the reactions among JW fans are priceless: this enthusiasm is contagious. And I'm not saying this because I'm not thrilled (I literally screamed and danced when the boxset was announced), I'm saying this 'cause I see friends of mine genuinely happy to see me this thrilled.

 

I wasn't around when the JP set was announced, but I can imagine the freakout that announcement generated.

Now, I don't know exactly what's missing in the StarWars soundtrack releases we had so far, but my question is:
what will happen here on JWFan if a definitive & complete SW collection is announced? Will it implode? 

PEW PEW!

 

[rough cut 1,714]

There will be a poll or two asking which of all expanded editions we like the best, and I will bitch about the results.

I've adjusted my expectations such that I'll get it before Christmas. By how many days will be the bonus.

 

Unfortunately I entered into the BF madness when I ordered some stuff from an American food importer who very obviously hadn't prepared for the onslaught of orders you get when you send out a single marketing e-mail. They had to send out an e-mail apologising that it would take some orders 2 weeks just to leave their warehouse.

Same for me as well (Awaiting Shipment), don't suppose this actually does mean it'll come earlier...?

[Dr. Rick 1,155]

Just checked mine, still "Awaiting Fulfillment"

[Richard Penna 3,676]

Changed to 'Awaiting shipment' here too.

 

I doubt it means anything has happened early.

Have a little hope!

[Marian Schedenig 8,180]

Well, *something* must have happened to cause our orders to change status. Perhaps they just put up our empty shipping boxes in the mail room so they can be filled as soon as the discs come in.

I mean I assume:

Awaiting Fulfillment = Product has not arrived yet.

Awaiting Shipment = Product has arrived (aka Order is Fulfilled) and ready to ship, but just needs to be shipped.

That seems logical to me.

 

I'll be very pleasantly surprised if it ships this soon before the announced shipping date but I always suspected that we wouldn't actually be waiting until 7th. Hope I'm not proven wrong

[Zanobard 71]

Yeah, I'm counting down the seconds til I get my hands on this release so fingers crossed for an early shipment!

[bollemanneke 3,339]

Mine is still awaiting fulfilment. What's worse, having it under the Christmas tree for weeks or not in time for Christmas at all?

[OneBuckFilms 319]

Mine says "Awaiting Fulfillment". I'm sure there are a lot of orders they will start sending out on the 7th.

[TSMefford 1,509]

@OneBuckFilms @bollemanneke @ATXHusker Did you guys order more than just Potter? Just curious to see why yours may not have changed yet.

Might simply be a case of their status change not coming through yet. I'm sure people have received orders before getting their shipping notice, for example.

[Chewy 2,382]

No changes for me, still at "Awaiting Fulfillment", and I only ordered Potter.

Nothing changed for me! Still awaiting fulfillment. 😂 

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

Just got mine! 

[King Mark 3,626]

I got awaiting shipment too

[crumbs 14,305]

My order status changed a few hours ago, like the others here. How exciting!

 

As someone theorized above, it hopefully means they've prepared the parcels with shipping stickers, etc. so all they need to do now is insert the Potter sets once they arrive and send them to the post office. Woohoo!

[Frank Vincent 227]

I've also got an awaiting shipment e-mail. Ordered both Harry Potter and Dracula.
