I wanted to post to let ya'll know the Opus is coming. Here's what I posted on my site last night - still haven't gotten the opportunity to write up my review but I'll have it soon.

The Michael Jackson Opus is beautiful. I have not had the opportunity to read it all yet but it is gorgeous.

I had been waiting all day thinking it'll be here before 5pm (Fedex holiday hours are running and when I called they told me it could be as late as midnight!!) So, I figured it would be ok if I took the kids to see Santa. Left hubby home just in case they came he could sign for it. Well as I'm driving home I get the call - hubby says it arrived and he was opening it up!!!!!!!!!! omg I liked to have killed him from there! He teased me with stuff I won't even repeat

Regardless when I walked in the door the box was sitting on the table waiting for me. I felt like a lil kid all excited and anxious. I opened the outer box to find an inner box. Opened the inner box to find a Opus seal closing a white wrap around the clam shell case. Every thing looked so proper and exquisite. I broke the seal and there it was. Looked so beautiful - then I realized the case was cracked and I just knew the book was going to be destroyed inside. I don't think I even breathed when I pulled it out. But the book was beautiful. I had laid out a towel over the table and laid it on that. Then pulled out my lil glove and started looking through this amazing book.

It's wow. It's huge. My kids were staring over my shoulders til their lil fingers started trying to touch it and I chased em away lol

The first look all ya notice is all the pictures. There's so much. Though most are unseen before they jar all these memories of when I saw him do this or that and what we watched on tv or remembering comments from different sites. You feel happy just flipping through the pages. (Gotta admit the one glove is kinda silly though lol - I understand it and it's cute but ya need two to be effective - not so easy to flip pages with it either

)

The joys represented in the book are sweet and to see his own wishes and concepts reflected in the commissioned art work is overwhelming. There is one picture that stopped me in my tracks. They were all so peaceful and kingly. But there was one that depicted Michael as Peter Pan. He looked so sad and it haunted me for a moment. His eyes looked painful - maybe it's just because I know he's gone and Peter Pan holds so little joy now.

Continuing I loved the entire idea of the fans work being included in a prestigious book made in the image of a scrapbook of Michael's life. The fans completed the magic of Michael Jackson. The works chosen were great. "Willow" has a beautiful page dedicated to her winning submission. I'll add a pic of it for everyone to see

There is so much more to say but I have to put my hyper children to bed and then I'll go back and read the OPUS in peace. I'll complete my review at that time.

Thank you so much for this!! I hope next week this threath will be full of "I got it" "I have mine" "My Opus has arrived" and the like :)

GREAT!!! What a sweet gift from MJ to us.... ok... I got emotional :cry:

Thanks for sharing your review with us, that was so nice to read.


I'm waiting for my book to come but I don't have the tracking number yet.
 
I have orgedered mine on 27 October and i received a mail by Ticketmaster sayng that the delibery is going to be effectued by 18 december...
i can't wait!!!

PS: i have seen the Opus in Kraken Opus shop in london... it'is very big......it' wonderful and contains wonderful pictures!!
 
It's been a week since Opus was released. I am thinking how many fans are now enjoying the book....I envy them!!! :p
 
^^ hehe ^^
I am thinking of all the MJ fans sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for it!
I cant wait :)
 
Just contacted Times Books and they said they will desptach today/tomorrow and she gave me my order number. She said they will be dispatched via Interlink. :)
 
I keep checking my email for the tracking details but nothing yet...
 
I just got off the phone from Ticketmaster and was told they would be sending it out this week and will receive e-mail in next few days with tracking link.

It was only when I put the phone down I wondered, if they are only starting to post them this week, will we get them in time for Christmas.
 
So far I've only gotten an email saying I would be notified when it was shipped. CAN'T WAIT! I ordered it in Sept. so know we'll have it by Christmas. :punk:
 
i paid for mine in august, so a bit strange that it's not here yet considering it's already been out for a week. surely that's the whole point of pre-ordering!?
 
Hmmm..... if they plan to have them shipped by Dec. 18th, we should be getting tracking numbers by the 16th or 17th. Fedex is usually a 1 or 2 day delivery process so.... *fingers crossed* UNLESS they've planned to start shipping ON the 18th, in which case we might start getting tracking numbers on the 17th or 18th. :unsure:

Edit: Well, the closer it arrives to Christmas, I won't have long to wait to open it. I'd like to actually open it on Christmas day but not sure I could wait. If it's only a week or a few days I might be able to make it. :lol:
 
Went to FedEx in Auckland today. Nothing there and big blank faces. Even searched my name and address and nothing came up.

Waiting....waiting
 
I'm really afraid of the FedEx's plane crashing,:doh:
specially after watching Cast Away,not trust my packages to FedEx anymore!!!!plz mr postman don't lose my opus in that damn Island!:no:

Just kidding on that! ;D

And then the Opus will turn into the Wilson for the poor guy left on the island!!! hahahahaaha!!

But fear not: eventually he made to his destination and DID delivered the package. Year later, but he did anyway

Just to keep updating you (and pestering them!) the Times Books now said it is due in this week and will be sent out straight away... I don't think they have their copies in yet!
I just hope its going to be before Christmas!
