Yes! Got my collector's Edition in the mail today! Can't wait to pop it in! Also, I wanted to send the postcard back with three friends emails on there, but that postcard is so sweet, I think I'll keep it instead.
Awesome.
Awesome.

Well, here it is. Not the best photo, mind you, but a photo nonetheless. I played through it the first time last night, by the way. Nice. Can't wait to look for all the easter eggs this second go round.

And a wonderful job from everyone! Music was absolutely brilliant, dialogue, animations, dialogue lipsynchs, backgrounds, everything was masterful guys! I must add though, that I forgot all about the bear animation. Hahaha, it was quite the shocker seeing that in there (i remember the original bear in the demo), awesome! And it was quite bittersweet getting to see the end cutscenes kick in after the end of the game. I think I dropped a tear or two. Thanks again guys for letting me get involved in the game, and for making games in the first place!
-CJ
PS - And the game box art along with it's contents are brilliant as well, Eriq!

I know this is going to vary but when did you order it compared to when you received it?
Obviously if you pre ordered then it should have shipped as early as 9/08/06 I do believe (so if others read and don't realize it was just released).
I am curious as to the real lead time.

He preordered on the same day we started taking preorders (6/28/06). Orders started shipping out on 9/6/06. I believe his was probably shipped on that date.

It would seem to me, that ANYBODY who preordered that's living in the U.S. should have already received their copy. Two or three days, max, to go through the U.S. mail service. I'm surprised that Dianne and I haven't received our 'complimentary copy', yet. Even if it's being shipped Fourth Class, that's pretty quick within the U.S. But First Class mail...makes me wonder when they were really shipped.

Mine apparently shipped the 9th, but I pre-ordered in late August, only a few weeks ago. Assuming complimentary copies went out the first day, that is a bit odd.

Giving me bills and housing notices when you know how much I want this game...But that's okay, it really is. I'm a strong indeviduuuuooooohhhhhwhy do you insist upon mocking me, O Box-Reciever of Mail? WHY? But, I'm...rambling. Of course I know it's on its way.....I'm just going to sit quietly in the corner now. ::twitch::

Be those words so deeply smarting, GDB," I shrieked, upstarting -
"Get thee back into the server and AGDI's Plutonian boards!
Leave no block text as a token of that lie thy post hath spoken!
Leave my gamelessness unbroken!- quit the box upon this board!
Take thy cursor from out my heart, and take thy words from off this board!"

Huzzah and good fortune, my copy has arrived! Indeed, I'm playing it voraciously now. Looking back though, I feel rather silly about my rants to the mailbox, but no harm, no fowl I guess. Actually, on that note, I don't suppose anyone here can help me get this tinfoil hat off my head. I found it after I blacked out after my last post. I don't know how it got there, but it seems to be affixed with some kind of...It looks to be cheese. My God, what did I do that night?
The game's an ever-livin' blast, BTW; on Act II. :)

I know several people have posted photos of their copies already but if you have received yours, photograph yourself with your copy for us. I want to remember this time and I dunno about everyone else, but it really gives me a high to see the game somewhere else in the world!
When mine arrives I'll take some photos and post them.

And a big thank you to the one that marked it as a two dollar value package, didn't pay customs fee because of that. =D
Cheers, now im going back to the game.

Well the awaited game arrived last night. I took a quick picture and will post it later as I get time.
I am excited as ever to play it but may not get much time in as I am heading to Arizona & Vegas in 2 days.... ironic huh?!?

Thanks. Thats only two of the five shelves which dont include probably another 50+/- other jewel case only games in the collection. It was a bad habit for a while..
I try not to buy any newer ones till I get through all the classics... Then games like Al Emmo, Runaway, and even Scratches come out and there goes that theory.

I got my special edition copy on Thursday! I love adventure games, but have never been very good at beating them without hintbooks, so, I'm still stuck in Act I. But, I love this game! I'll have to take a pic of my copy with myself... hmmm... should I bust out all my old Sierra games and put them behind us?

You guys scare me a little.
I placed my order for Al Emmo on Sunday. It was shipped from Arizona to Melbourne, Australia by Wednesday. That thing has went through no less than 3 postal services to get here, and only took 3 business days to get here.
I mean, that's not prompt service. That's scary prompt service. Thanks a bunch, guys!

My bad, actually. I sent for it on Wednesday the week prior, and lost 4 days in my own creative little way.
Still quite a fast delivery for a fair ol' hike (well, or whatever you like to call it, anyway.)
