That is not the same box ladaLi. The one you posted contains the boxset released in December 2007. The other box was made for the mini Japanese vinyls along with other boxes.

Confused? Aren't we all

Ahem!! I have paid a lot more for an empty box, at least 4 or 5 times I have. I try to justify it to myself, But what the hell, It's my only hobby/Obsession and I'm not hurting anyone!

Some pictures for thee

July 10 2008, 1:11 PM 








I bought the cd's from hmv Japan at the time, cut off the ticket stubs.
Contacted emi Japan a dozen of times until I finally found someone who said: ok, send the
tickets in before the (fill in a number)th of April, and I'll make sure you get a box.

And I did...
I got the box for free, just like all Japanese residents were able to do.
I've seen prices of 90 euro's for this piece of cardboard.

I can be quite persistent
Apparently a typical Belgian characteristic.

At least I think it's typically Belgian, just saw "In Bruges" this weekend which
hints a couple of times in that direction Fantastic film btw.

Grrrrrrrrr!

July 11 2008, 6:57 PM 

What I want to know is since the Japanese discs went on general release in different countries, why wasn't there, the availability of a box to keep them in? after all the things were quite expensive. Why was Japan the only country to be offered the box? surely if the discs were made available in different regions of the world the box should have been as well.

To answer the question posed by the title of this thread, then my answer is NO! I BLOODY WELL WOULD NOT!
