Apparently it was due to be released today, according to EMI's Australian website (here's the link - http://www.emimusic.com.au/artist_releases.asp?artistid=63&productid=4762). So, anyone see it today in their travels?

Not yet. Hopefully I can pick it up in a couple of weeks. I am supposed to be starting a new job this week, so I will have heaps of excess $. It will be like being Spawny for the holidays. 
I just went and bought it from Utopia, paid 149.99! 
Ill take some photos and post them tonight if anyone wants to see whats inside and all that crap?
I also picked up the new Symphony X cd, and the new LA Guns one, plus admired the gothic woman behind the counter.

You could do that, or I could just look at mine 
$155 at JB HiFi.
I didn't buy anything else, unless you count a battery charger, but that's not as interesting and doesn't make as much noise. (Hopefully. I haven't plugged it in yet.)

I just got home from buying it - cost $175.00 
Brisbane folks, if you can't find it anywhere go to Skinny's - it's the only place I could find it (although I didn't look far - JB was the only other shop I went to!). HMV are selling it on their website for $189.95 so at least I made *some* sort of saving!
Looks fantastic - you get a shotglass and a scroll family tree thing with a ring around it - too big to wear around my finger though (cue jokes about wearing the ring somewhere else!). AND each CD has big thick booklets! Maiden have finally come through for us big time after a long drought!
Also picked up the new Opeth one, but who cares about that?

It's in a plain, brown cardboard box. Kinda like how Koich buys his magazines. It'd be easy to overlook if you weren't specifically looking for a box about that size specifically in the box set section.
However it does have a sticker on it saying what is is.

At the shop I bought it at they had a) a thing in the Maiden section advertising it, and b) the thing on display behind the counter. Then I asked the chap for it and he went out the back and got the brown cardboard box for me, complete with sticker.
I havent broken the brown box seal yet, is mine worth more if I just leave it sitting on the shelf like that?
(BTW this Symphony X albums rocks! They wank without being wankers!)

Great stuff so far! Not sure if it's worth $175 yet, only halfway through the first disc of the BBC disc so far.
Ooh, there's two versions of 22 Acacia Avenue. This thing just became worth buying!

Me, I'm straight into the B-Sides. They're great without all that crack and hiss that my turntable injects into the recordings. I can't recognise some of them. Well, that's a lie, but they're heaps better.
Oh, and I just noticed that all up there are FOUR versions of Transylvania. Why couldn't there be four versions of 22 Acacia Avenue?

Then Goose me up woman!
Thats alot of money to pay for songs I already have oodles of times. I want that ring though. Can anyone scan a pic of the ring, the shotglass, and the family tree scrolly thing so I can see it?
