    Buy it here at HMV.co.uk

    £5.49 (+ £2.50 postage).

    Definitely a misprice though worth a punt!

    Cheers basquille. As you say, worth a punt. BTW, postage for me was £2.50.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Cheers for the correction butts... HMV must be increasing their postage prices.

    Fixed!

    Ordered as well. But confirmation email too but I dont think that means anything. They can still cancel it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    They're HMV.. odds are they WILL cancel it.

    They don't have a history of honouring misprices.. especially when they've the exact same boxset (in "special packaging") on the site in-stock for £39.99! :D


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Ordered one too, sure we'll see what happens.

    There are posts about HMV on various sites ,with people complaining about delivery times .
    But a few posters have said that they occasionally fook up prices and ship stuff way too cheap.

    So it sounds like they ship the stuff sometimes:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I'd be suprised if they did. But I have ordered one anyways for my nephew.. who's turning 7 in a week's time. Huge fan of Star Wars but only owns the Eps I - III (** spits **).

    I already own the trilogy - the 2 disc editions as shown here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 491 ✭✭nowuckenfurries


    Cheers for the heads up Basquille, ordered one... :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,616 ✭✭✭milltown


    Cheers B!
    Just chanced ordering two sets for myself and the bro. We both have them on VHS but I don't even have a video anymore. Need to start educating my 4 year old too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭podge3


    Thanks OP for the heads up, but its not looking good :(.

    My order status is showing the following:

    Item deleted - we are trying to obtain this item from alternate sources


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭BFassassin


    Thanks OP.
    I ordered but will just have to wait and see what comes of it.
    It will probably just get cancelled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 481 ✭✭walshki


    Thanks OP - if you're not in you can't win.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Cracker of a price, worth a go as mentioned. Good spot.

    These threads rarely have a happy ending :pac: Still fun to play the game though.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    I got the email this morning.

    The excuse seems fairly crap though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    unavailable:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,000 ✭✭✭Cionád


    boo, hiss. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    They cancelled mine as well.


    Booo-Urns :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭podge3


    Methinks HMV may have been fibbing when they cancelled our orders :rolleyes: i.e. the cancellation email said: We have been informed by the suppliers that this item has been discontinued from their catalogue, as the manufacturer is now longer producing the item. It has therefore been cancelled from your order

    Now looks to be back in stock: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=705134

    I have sent off an email looking for my order to be completed as they have now "found" stock.

    Not holding my breath, though ;)

    Actually that one was always in stock.. it's not the same one we ordered.

    Look at post #10 on the 1st page:
    They don't have a history of honouring misprices.. especially when they've the exact same boxset (in "special packaging") on the site in-stock for £39.99!
