'Official Michael Jackson Opus' (All Threads Merged)

Well, well... you should see the comments people are leaving now at the B&N page for the Opus. People are really upset.

now this horrible idea crossed my mind.... I just hope they are not planning doing a second "Opus" for Michael later... I mean... that would not be nice....

Yes, B&N...very frustrating. What are the legal ramifications for this? It's a total bait and switch scam.

Thay was ment to be bringing out 2 books the 2nd one being about this is it,but not sure if thay r now bringing out a 2nd one xoxo

Ok obviously you didn't read my post.

This opus was supposed to be based on "This is it" tour. The whole thing but due to Michael's death they had to replan so they worked on this opus for 14 weeks.
They were going to do 1 based on the concerts & the 2nd one based on his career would be 96LB now that's heavy but when he passed they decided to make it more of a tribute book
 
Opus are going to have a few legal problems very soon I think haha ;)

they shouldve added more than 1 This Is It picture on the OPUS. Unless theyre making one based on this is it rehearsals.

Oh, I did read your post, believe me. I have kept my eyes on this threath for a looong while. My comment was that they might have a crazy idea of doing a "second" , "updated" and "revised" and "improved" and "more expensive" version of this Opus later on. I would really hate a "We have now contacted more sources and here's the definitive-definitive tribute to Michael".

But Ok... I will not give any ideas to them...

Hi guys!

I'm from China, I live in Beijing. No Opus arrival. So far I only got two emails from Opus one telling me it would arrive through Dec 18 (it didn't and I don't have the tracking code either), the other making silly excuses about one glove and the CARD...I'm very upset about the whole thing cuz part of the reason I bought it was the Reality Card now I'll have it printed out???

However, my friend in Beijing received her Opus sent from her friend who is living in Guangzhou (South China). She said the Opus arrived in Guangzhou on Dec 7 and it contained a PAIR of gloves! But her friend didn't say where he ordered it.

I read from this thread that only some US fans got it.... and someone said it was shipped from China which makes me feel more depressive--maybe her friend got it straignt from the factory? And I'm not going to get it around Feb (the event date of my ticketmaster was changed from Dec 31 to Jan 30)? As my Opus will travel all the way around the globe and then come back???

As for the errors I read...the whole thing is a MESS...
The Opus wasn't directly shipped to people in the USA from China. The box it came in just said it was printed in China. I live in the USA and my Opus was sent to me from New York.
 
I am officially upset

How can they do that? I hope there are no more of these coming.

yes, from what I heard, the whole thing is a mess. All kinds of wrong info, wrong dates blah, and not many rare pics either. WHAT tHE HELL. IT's a rip off of MJ fans.
and what's with the one glove as a tribute for MJ? What kind of stupid excuse is that? they thought MJ fans are idiots? FUck it man. Can't believe the ultimate tribute book is done so badly and it's OPUS somemore for fucks sake.
 
Well I'm in Tennessee and I still don't have my book because it's coming from Chicago and will only be shipped on Monday . So ppl, if you live in the area that's 'assigned' to Chicago, relax! You'll still get it in time.
Don't worry about what Ticketmaster says, they don't know sh*t, it's been out of their hands since they cashed the money.

Although I won't get to see my opus until February :no: it's Ok, at least i know it will eventually get here. I've waited this long.
And another thing. The day I get it will feel like Christmas anyway, no matter when that day is.
 
GUYS,DOES THIS MEAN THAT IF YOU ORDERED IT THROUGH TICKETMASTER YOUR NOT GONNA GET IT FOR A WHILE? IM FROM AUSTRALIA AND I HAVE THIS FEELING IT AINT COMING ANY TIME SOON lol
 
Hi guys
Just to let you know the ppl for the times offer my money has now been taken out,seems to of been on the 19 dec,so im hoping that means the opus is on its way but u never know,all the guys that done the times offer should check to see if any money has been taken out xoxo

Brilliant! thanks for letting us know. I'll have to check and see if they took money from me too. I wonder what they are going to do for our opus reality cards!

I knew some people from Macao have also received the book already(they ordered it from a book shop) . i live in HK and i still can't get my tracking number right now.
this shipping thing confuses me .i don't care if i can get it before Christmas.
i just need to know WHEN i'm going to receive it.They never gave me a reply.
All we can do now is wait. ughhhhhhh i hate that!
 
the whole thing is so upsetting that I don't think I even want this book anymore. I can't believe there are errors in it. it's a major disappointment. I can forgive the delay in delivery, but mistakes in a legacy book - the only official book approved by Michael and his Estate - are unforgivable.
 
I'm in Australia..no Opus, no tracking number...
I pre ordered it way back when!
It's not going to get here before Christmas and there are mistakes???

:(

MAN!!! I just miss Michael....
 
Time Books Update!

Just contacted them and they have them - finally!. My card was charged yesterday so they have promised that they are going out today/tomorrow and they will make sure it is with us before Christmas! They had better!!!
 
When I look at my FedEx tracking page, there are no updates since I received the mail. Always "Initiated", the first step... I'm afraid it won't arrive for christmas.
 
can someone explain exactly what MISTAKES were made in the book? i cant beleive its an official book and theres mistakes,thats crazy.
 
Nothing yet!! I ordered mine in Aug. Still no tracking number. Just phoned Opus and they are going to look into it and give me a call back within the next hour - fingers crossed!!

there are factual mistakes. For example, they wrote that HIStory was released in 1996. Or a capture under a photo says it's from 1993 when it was taken in late 70s-early 80s. Those are mistakes I remember. There are more.

thanks for the update :)
 
I'm starting to think maybe i shouldn't have bothered with the opus. Reading about these mistakes is very disappointing to say the least :no:

Maybe when i *finally* recieve it maybe i'll be so astounded by the visuals that i'll go back to loving it, but at the moment i'm a bit pissed

I'm hoping that since Times have been able to release their copies, that FedEx have managed to fly the Irish ones over by now....
 
I just saw that they have changed my event time on Ticketmaster to 090130 is this a joke??? I called FedEx the guy told me we could not pick them up in UK … then I called Kraken she said there have been some problems with a train transport this time :doh:… she was going to check that and call me back later. To be honest I didn’t sound so happy when I called them so she probably understood the frustration and really wanted to help. Let’s hope that she does call back with more information. About that some of us might get this book in Mars is just the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Preorder in Aug or Sep get the book next year in Mars, its better if they send it next Christmas then since many bought it as a Christmas present.
 
When I heard they finished this in 44 days, I was worried! I really wished they had
taken the time to check things!

Exactly. The errors disappoint me more than the delay.

We have to let the estate know of these mistakes. They are the first line of MJ's legacy keepers, until the kids take over.

Exactly
They should have taken more time to make it perfect. It’s just silly to rush such an important Legacy item.
