[embrya79]

i would, to keep it in mint condition and dust free.

 

[h0opman31]

so should i protect the clamshell cover by putting it in the card board box? For those who have it, please give me some advice.

yes. I kept all the packaging, including the white paper it was rapped in.

[Bnd90]

I just have mine up with the red casing. I cant fit it in the spot its in now :lol:

 

[MJMarty]

Okay, so after saying any orders before the 7th of December will be done by Christmas, perhaps early January due to demand wouldn't be so bad? But now, on December 19th, they say oh no, actually only orders before September 30th are being dealt with this year?! WTF! In any case, I ordered mine on August 25th, yet still nothing. Has ANYONE OUTSIDE the US got the book yet?

 

[PrincessMichaela]

OMG...this is just stupid....February????? Did you get your e-mail from Fedex? I'm from Romania too,but no e-mail yet... I want my book till Christmas,not for my birthday in february.

Yeah, I want to punch Fed-Ex in the face for delivering it to an address I won't be at until Mid-February. It arrived yesterday (after I spent two days on the phone with people from the UK, CA, IL, and NY who gave me a case number saying it would be shipped to where I am. :no Not Christmas, not even my birthday (January), but February... I cannot believe I am going to have to wait two more months...:no:

The Michael Jackson Opus is available at Barnes and Nobles for $134.99 with free shipping. Grrrrr! I thought that they were only available to order online or from the Opus store. I also thought that if we didn't pre-order during the pre-order period from opus or ticketmaster, that the price would only go up, Not down. Had I known I would've waited to get the cheaper price. This is so not fair!!!

:bugeyed Whaaaaaaaaaaat the?! Oh, heeeyy no! They did not! What?! Okay, now I'm really livid. So, I could just walk into Barnes and Noble right now and buy it and bring it home with me for $60 less?! Instead, I paid $193 and I'm going to have to wait another two months while it sits in my empty apartment?! Ugggghhh. Whyyyy?! :no:

 

[h0opman31]

[DuranDuran]

If it came in regular hardcover or paperback, I'd buy it, but as it is, can't do it.

CONGRATS:clapping:

Thanks Giving Tree. HUG!

Okay, after some tears I decided I'm not ready to open my Opus yet. It's now been wrapped for Christmas....altho I'm not sure I'll have the will to open it on Christmas day...maybe the day after so it's less emotional considering the 25th will be 6months since MJ's death. For the most part I'm just relieved that it's finally here.

Boxed:

Wrapped to go under the Christmas Tree:

Thanks to all for the updates in this thread. And GOOD LUCK to all of you who have yet to get the book and are still waiting. There's STILL 4 WHOLE working days til Christmas so don't give up hope just yet...altho I KNOW it's going to remain nerve-wracking til you have it in your hands. Keep the Faith! :flowers:

OMG, I LOVE seeing it all wrapped up!! Ready to open! I keep hoping that maybe my sister or boyfriend happened to answer the door if FedEx delivered it and I don't know that it's already here, and they're saving it for Xmas for me....But alas, I doubt that....lol

 

[BBoiSound]

Mine was ordered through the magazine notice through a friend. I forget, but it was some special... Does anyone know what I'm talking about? (My memory is going lol)... But I'm wondering when those will come...

That really is enormous. You can really get the dimensions of it from this picture. I have no idea where I'm going to put mine.

I think I'm talking about the TIMES way of ordering (magazine or not, I can't remember lol).

Anyone have any updates??

 

[LoveMJackson]

Its a little bit disappointing that some of you found errors in the Opus. For the price that we paid, I expected for a perfect book. oh well, mistakes can happen.

 

[Pretty_Young_Thriller]

Woah, I can't believe the book is that much cheaper in B&N. That's about $40 after taxes. I was willing to turn the other cheek with the one glove and screwing us on the reality card, but this is a low blow. I have never been so dissappointed.

I thought they really cared about Michael and his fans. All lies I suppose.

 

[ChrissyBrown]

Ok, does anyone know are all the books being shipped from the US? Because in that case I think our books will have to come through the customs and in worst case scenario we'll have to pay for the clearance charge

No hun. There are shipping containers that are being shipped around the world. I'm not sure where Europe gets their's shipped from. Yours might come from UK

 

[Nippleina]

[youtube]dtRoes6g0GI[/youtube]

made this for you all

cool... ok, wait.. did yours come with two gloves? some people only got one glove?

 

[hoyanchoco]

The event date from the ticketmaster!!! I checked the date 2 weeks ago and it stated "12/31/09". I was so pissed off at that moment cuz I knew that I wouldn't probably receive the OPUS before xmas!!!

And now the event date has extended to 01/30/10. They've made adjustment on it!!!WTF!!!! It's sooooooooo ridiculous!!! Are we being cheated???? I can't stand anymore! What made the delivery so difficult if the publication date had beem finalized and confirmed a few months ago!!!

The second stupid thing is the reality card! They made it as one of the uniqueness of OPUS and said this card is exclusively prepared for the fans!!! But what make it so special is WE NEED TO PRINT OUT BY MYSELF!!! It's funny DIY!! Is everyone ready to "DO IT YOURSELF"?????????????????????

Plus! They made retarded excuse for the gloves! Liar!

 

[Laura.L.]

Same here, I'm clueless as to where I'll put the book. I think I have to get a bigger appartment just to accomodate the Opus, lol.

Thanks! :flowers: What a relief to hear that because the book and shipping itself cost already enough for my budget. I would not have wanted to pay any extra fees.

 

[MJMarty]

Nice to see Kraken are making sure their other supplier is well looked after, instead of the fans.

December 21st, they'll have Opuses on sale.

 

[noemike]

I know that they will start shipping the books in Europe this Monday, I just read this on another fansite, so I hope mine will be here till the end of the week, I really hope so, its ridiculous what they are doing, they shouldnt change the shipping dates!
I dont care about the glove nor the card, I just want my Opus next to me

As far as I know they were kinda forced to "change the shipping dates" due to weather conditions. It was snowing so much it affected the deliverys, which is very understandable. I was emailed the estimated delivery day for my Opus is dec 23rd and Im really looking forward to get the book on that day. However, if I don't get it on that day it's not the end of the world to me as I know and I am confined the book will arrive one day :yes: I have already waited for several months to get it, a few extra days will not make any difference.

 

[starone_angel]

I will never pre-order something again in my entire life! First the date, the "one glove" thing, the card... now the price! WTF?!? They really don't care about Michael and his fans!
I've ordered mine on september 24'th... So I should get it before Christmas but I have no news from them! I am so tired of waiting!
Poor Mike, I am sure he won't be happy to know about this!

Edit: I am so happy for the fans who got it! :yes: Congrats ppl!

 

[HUGE_MJ_FAN]

So only people in the US have received the Opus?

 

[starone_angel]

^ Yes, as far as I know...

 

[Maria MJ]

Anyone else who can't afford the Opus?

I know I can't even at a discount price...too many expenses this year,kids come first!
Perhaps later...

 

[claire64]

Has anyone in the UK got theirs?
