HMV is on a role at the moment...
Special artwork and curious to see this in hand next to all others.
Price is way too much for a catalogue collection.
Even the French release is too expensive imo and that one is at 20 Euros (£15) atm.
I have a feeling the French price will drop even more (so will the UK probably)
 
Yeah, won't be long til its "HMV are saturating the saturated market" :laugh:
£160 for the lot is madness isn't it (at least they're split in to 2 release dates, a couple of months apart I suppose)... I'd certainly wait it out though, HMV do like a price drop, maybe they'll end up under a tenner like many films have and series like Sherlock which are still £7.99.
 
I have stuck a pre-order in for these depending on the finish/treatment.
I can see these being popular as there aren't many alternatives to such a popular franchise, that is if it has the embossed text and perhaps a glossy finish?

The mock up won't do these justice at all, it's a simple image right now, but I kinda like the simplicity of these already. They COULD look really good if done right. The issue here is of course the cost and if you have one, you gotta have them all.
 
I really like the design of these but £19.99 each, maybe Zavvi ain't so bad after all!!! :)
 
I have the Harry Potter Best Buy exclusives. At least I think it's Best Buy, the ones with the heads, I prefer those so won't be getting these but I'm glad they're available for those that want them.
 
If you pre-order at HMV using a card, do they charge at dispatch?

I'm sorely tempted by these. I'm a massive HP fan and a steel book fan so it's hard to day no. I'm I two minds though...do I wait for a price drop and risk them selling out?

They charge at dispatch yes, but they do a £1 authorisation on your card at the time of order which goes back on to your card within a couple of hours. If you choose PayPal then you pay when you place the order.

These are really growing on me now. I hope that they are glossy and have vibrant colours. I won't be updating my current collection though.

Think they are the Futureshop releases, they look great especially with the shelf. Very expensive though.

There's no way anyone with a brain would drop £20 each on these. Crazy prices.

German release collection looks to have a box etc... (beautiful German text :laugh:)

Germany gets extra's once again and we don't.

It is a nice set. I don't use that shelf though. It's sat in my cupboard gathering dust. I wonder if it's worth anything by itself...
 
I quite like the matching artwork, these could look really nice with glossy finishes and embossing on the titles.

The shelf has a value in itself, and I'm sure it will be worth even more once these HMV editions are out. :smashin:
 
looks good, (hopefully glossy and embossed) needs a price drop though
 
That title needs to be embossed. I like the look of these, but £180 for the set, of which I already have the discs is a bit much.
 
I asked HMV about their Harry Potter releases via Facebook and they came back with embossing on the logo and bordering (I presume they mean the title text) and a matte finish.
