Then 5 minutes later I was carrying it to my computer when all the contents fell out of the box and various parts of the jewel cases broke. I did nearly the same thing when I was ripping my set, I finally finished ripping and put it all back in the box and as I was carrying it upstairs it all fell out! I screamed like I just dropped my baby or something! Nothing broken, fortunately! The cases don't really fit snugly as compared to something like the Indiana Jones Concord set (perhaps that's a little on the 'too snug' side!)

I thought mine was a faulty box or something. But they probably did that intentionally so as not to scratch the cases while putting them back in the box. Or else, initially that booklet was planned to be a bit thicker than it turned out.... 2 hours ago, Arpy said: I did nearly the same thing when I was ripping my set, I finally finished ripping and put it all back in the box and as I was carrying it upstairs it all fell out!

Josh500 1,615 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 This set blew my mind away and it totally exceeded my expectations, but if there is one thing I am slightly disappointed about, it's the booklet (the big general one). The way everybody was talking about it, I really expected a thicker, more comprehensive booklet with tons of new info! As it is, we got a nice little booklet with many color photographs and all the liner notes from the OST albums and a few other previously published stuff.... O-kay. What was the point of that? They could have put everything in the individual booklets along with the track titles... But that's just a small thing, really. Also, the regular individual booklets were written by MM, so no faults there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 It was jay's manager request. It order to let them put his name on the set he had to work on a certain number of pages. So the general booklet was a late addition because his name HAD to be there. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Yeah. The three booklets were great but the general booklet is a bit... what’s the point?

Josh500 1,615 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The big booklet is probably meant to hold this set together, give it more of a feel of "unity." Otherwise it's just three separate expanded soundtrack albums of three separate movies stuck in a box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time since I order and buy in Lalaland records or Intrada it happened that I had no preview of tracking the package path since it left lalaland on 13th of December. Complete silence. And suddenly I get the news that December 29th the package is already in Poland in the capital of the country Warsaw. Very close to the airport. Now I will continue to check if the package will meet the customs or not, and of course the road to my home in Wrocław. It won't take long now I think. Soon I will be able to listen to these marvelous music from John and David Arnold James Bond scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on the seventh day, my status said suddenly that it's due to arrive the next day! Well, the good news in your case is that you can start the New Year with a bang! Literally.

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I opened it yesterday. No broken teeth. Everything looks fine. Except one disc that has a hole in the plated coating (fortunately outside the burnt sectors so I hope it plays well) and the CDs fell very flimsy, and if you put them against the light they are transparent ( you can see the printed cover from the bottom side). This didn't happen with the Jurassic park discs for example. And one CoS disc has small scratch, but nothing that wouldn't be In a normal cd...

jamesluckard 80 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Obviously this thread is 71 pages, so I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but while listening to it just now, I noticed something fun: On Disc 1, track 12, "The Journey to Hogwarts", there's a brief quote of a theme from Home Alone 2. Starting at 1:04 there's a very Christmas-y section of the cue, and it concludes at 1:24 with the last 7 notes of the melody from "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas" from Home Alone 2. Took me a couple of listens to remember why it was so familiar. Fun little Easter Egg there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a couple of listens to remember why it was so familiar. Fun little Easter Egg there. That part is on the OST album, and we've been listening to it for 17 years! One of the highlights. Always loved this entire scene, movie and score! That said, it's definitely not the same melody as "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas" from HA2, meaning it's not a quote. Maybe (sub)consciously JW was channeling the Home Alone movies, though.... That could be. It has the same festive and joyous tone and orchestration! 5 hours ago, Faleel J.M. said: I spy an italian plumber in this photo. What about Link? You completely ignore him?

Incanus 5,713 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Well I just got my copy and the first thing I noticed when I opened the box was an ugly gash across the front of the box. It was not caused by the transport since the damage was beneath the plastic wrapping and the box seems slightly bent. So this damage must have happened in the manufacturing phase. I doubt LLL would send me another copy if I e-mailed them. While the music is the main thing I hate it when such a deluxe item is damaged. I just hope the discs work OK.
