Can someone please post close-up detailed shots of the replacement packaging and interior?

Thanks!

 

[MarkHastings]

Has anyone even gotten theirs yet??

 

[Matthew Marino]

They cashed my check on September 2nd so it better come soon!

 

[David Von Pein]

My check was also cashed on that very same date (September 2).

So I guess they should be shipping them soon thereafter. But, I get the inkling this "Box Offer" is akin to sending away for the Jonny Quest P.F. Flyer Magic Ring or sending in cereal box tops and a dime to get a paper airplane or sumthin' like that there. (Meaning: The proverbial "6 to 10 Weeks" delivery time.)

FOX, however, does tell its consumers on its "Box" website (between well-placed stinging insults ) that it will take "4 to 6 weeks" for the box to arrive.

I wonder if they'll pack the replacement boxes in careful fashion -- or if they'll toss them in an unpadded paper envelope, which will almost assuredly result in more customer packaging complaints due to bent & banged-up replacement boxes -- which would require a replacement box for the replacement box which is replacing the Homer Head box.

 

[Brian Bergen]

Just got an email saying that the replacement box has been shipped via US Mail. Should receive it soon.

 

[Alex-A]

Same thing here, so hopefully it'll get here soon. I don't like waiting.

 

[Sam Favate]

Looks like we all got the same email. Which is good, because the longer I look at that slanted Homer head on my shelf, the more I want a regular box.

 

[PaulP]

Got one too. Woo-hoo!

 

[Josh_HI]

Just got the email too! Here is what it said:

 

[RoyM]

So no one actually has the replacement in hand yet? I really wanted to see what they look like before I commit the money and (really moreso) the waiting time to getting one. It does sound like quite a wait though!

 

[Eric James]

I still haven't gotten an e-mail :frowning:

 

[Brent_B]

I received my email too.

 

[Matthew J]

No Email here :frowning:

 

[Ed Faver]

Got my email on September 15!

 

[Sam E. Torres]

alright, can we keep the "got my email response!" comments to a minimum while we anxiously await actual images of the packaging?

 

[David Levy]

From the UK. They're offering us the Homer head as a limited deal. This will be the regular packaging

 

[RoyM]

Thanks for posting the image, David. I'm sure the R1 will look more or less identical.

I wish they had offered the Homer Head only as a "limited" deal here, too. Hopefully, they'll change that around for future releases.

 

[JonZ]

I got the email saying the replacement packaging is on the way last week but nothing has arrived yet.

BTW,inside the head packaging it says they can stop the replacement deal whenever they want, so its prob best to send in for the replacements boxes as soon as possible after picking these sets up.

I dont think its a indefinite thing.

 

[Marvin]

Has anyone else not had their checks cashed yet? I mailed mine in a little later (~8/25) so I'm apparently not in the first group to get the box. Just wondering if the request got lost in the mail.

 

[TravisR]

I sent mine on the day the set came out (August 16) and they didn't cash my check until September 2 or 3. Plus, it's hard to say how often they cash the checks. Maybe they only do it once a week or once every two weeks or whatever

I'm not sure but if you called the phone number, they might be able to tell you what the status of your order is.
