Hard to excuse the UK not being prepaired for the snow it's happened every year for the last 3 years and happened almost every other year before that

I think the snow is fun.

oh i imagine they passed a law banning salting roads and shoveling snow.. for reasons of public safety. Its too dangerous to have trucks out at night salting roads because of less visibility and shoveling snow could hurt someones back.

Isn't Codex a US based company?

Funny as it may seem, art books tend to be the thing that messes the most up with collector's editions. With Assassin's Creed, they ended up just shipping the game without it but having a little bit inside saying "Regrettably, we had a problem with the printer for the art book. It will be shipped to you as soon as it's available".

Of course, that ended up being almost three or four months later, but that's not the point. Point is art books are evil.

Maybe so, but after the upset people had at not being kept in the loop...they probably figure it's better to apprise their customers of every little tiny nuance.

Porn is

But, after wikipediaing it, it's a British company. I can't for the life of me remember what made me think they were US based.

Some of their affiliates are based in Canada.

How did you get to find out how stupid the health and safety "laws" in our fine country are. And it isn't because it could hurt someones back, it's because someone might get a bit cold.

Can't you just send out a pile of Polish? That's what they do around here.

nope, try again.
all the printing and cd manufacturing is done overseas and then shipped to the civilized world, just like everything else.
delays happen when these mass-manufacturing cities do something more profitable first, or weather makes the boats late.

It would be funny if it was the book. That was the only reason I ordered it.

I did get the second email this morning. Never did get the first one, though.

To quote Holly from Red Dward (f)

Red Dwarf, awesome show. On the same theme, I guess you could call the problems with shipping the Ultra movie a major "smeg up".

There used to be alot of polish people around now I feel they have left this blighted rock, so sadly we are not able to do that. We might get the farmers and their tractors on the case instead.

Anyway back on-topic.

Was thinking they might have gone with a last minuet change of heart having read the reviews and decided they may just go and put the whole film through a re-render with different render tech. It is not total out of the question, if they were approached by some render tech provider last minuet like Pixar or other big hollywood studio.

your statement is as offensive as an american responding to a blizzard by saying "let the blacks clean it up." it's racist.

@Kanluwen: You should really sig this for future discussions

New update from Codex:

We can update today that the unexpected production issue has been resolved. We still expect and are working to be able to commence shipping next week but are awaiting final confirmation from our suppliers and fulfillment houses.

We apologize once again for the delay in ship date and very much hope to have confirmed information about the new dispatch date tomorrow.

Codex Pictures

So, it's been cleared up and it should be confirmed tomorrow.

I have pepper spray. And I've got an offer for a foreign study program in Germany next summer.

Watch it Kroot

Well look at that. You do have a 'Sense of Humour' protocol somewhere in your code. Nice to know.

Weird. I've got every other E-mail they've sent.

I will say that it is odd we complained that they didn't keep us in the loop and now we're getting to-the-minute updates. Ah well...

I've always had a 'Sense of Humor(spell it Americanish, damn you! )', HB.

But fluff?
Fluff is serious business.

If this means what it sounds like, as in people from Poland and not shoe polish, you should be banned from these boards forever. I would highly recommend clarifying what exactly it is you meant by that, because right now, I'm thinking you're a bigoted idiot.

It is likely a reference - said in jest, no doubt - to a social class made up of Polish immigrants that exist or may have existed in England's past that specifically dealt with this issue (snow and whatnot), or, perhaps, in a more general sense of 'labour'.

Hardly a 'bigoted' comment.

The poster in question may in fact be Polish for all we know. But I'm sure if he's not he's learned to tread a little softer.

I´m from Poland and I dont feel that offended.
I understand it more in the way that if the people from Codex would be run by polish people the movie would be finished in time and would not only have an book as an extra but some Microarts Minis and Scibor Bases

So calm down and relax.

Grobrotz wrote:some Microarts Minis and Scibor Bases

As the owner of many of both those products, I can say that this would be awesome. Sadly, GW would never allow it.

Well, you know how to avoid the appearance of being bigoted? Don't call out a particular ethnic group as a generalized and specific manual labor workforce.

As someone said earlier, if I said 'Hey it's hot outside, let's get the Arabs to deliver the mail', it wouldn't sound particularly good right? Anyways, I made it clear in my post maybe it wasn't what it sounded like, but it sure sounded like something. A little tact for chrissakes.

Around here we have a massive influx of Polish doing almost anything, hence the remark of "throwing" them at it. They get the job done and don't grumble about it. I got nothing against Poles, or any other group or whatever you might call it, I have a colour TV damn it!

But I need to be banned? I've seen people spout truly baneful remarks and get away with it scot-free. But if you insist, hammer that "!" button please.

Back on topic..

I've got a feeling things might be postponed a bit more, especially with the world-wide mail network grinding to a halt with all that Christmas mail and those packages.

See I knew I wasn't far off. People are too damned sensitive today.

Yes. So does everyone who read your post, because as we all know, bigotry and racism can rub off over the internet.

If we get it this side of Christmas I'll be genuinely surprised.

Knowing that my karma has been massively unbalanced by this all, I've got a feeling you might get your movie before I do. Just like how you always get your Maelstrom stuff swifter than me.

Sigh... As if me pre-ordering would've made a difference...
