Would be cool to hear or see that if it's even true.

went to my local JB today (in new zealand) and they don't have the boxset on there list of upcoming releases, but they may just be the store I went to because they are normally a bit behind the main/bigger stores....

What they did have coming in June was the "speak of the devil - diary of a madman tour DVD"....obviously this is the brad gillis one, but it looks like it is getting an official release so that will be cool

Nice! On the JB site it now says the set is $129. I'm going to call the JB's in my area and if any of them have them available I'll go down and pick it up after work tomorrow. Hopefully they have at least one there so I can buy it.
Funny though, I just paid for a Marshall 1959RR so this looks like it could be a very Randy weekend for me! (Even though I have to wait for it to come in...)

If I do get one tomorrow, I'll post a review to the best of my ability with details etc... (But I'm not holding m breathe)

Yeah I just called then and they said it's been delayed by about a week because of the distributor. I'll try again in a few days and see. The guy on the phone did say that they did have the individual albums in, but I think he may have gotten confused with the '02 releases.
The wait continues....

Went into JB HIFI today & spotted the 2011 Blizzard of Ozz cd & the regular Diary 2011 edition without the live cd.
I guess they could get those in at least...

Ah, so the guy on the phone was telling the truth to me. I bet they hold these until the very last day of the deadline! They know how to make us wait!!

Sorry I mis-typed. I meant the Box Set, not the individual albums. I knew those were out.

Well having a good look in several JB HI-FI stores round the Adelaide area lately, all the stores Ive looked in have the 2011 editions of BOO & Diary (but NO live cd with Diary). As for the box set, they have all said the same thing - "still waiting on the distributor to send it out"

I bought the box set from JB (Elizabeth St Store) here in Melbourne today. For any folks from Melbourne they had 3 there apparently, only 2 on display and I got one.

Haven't had the chance to watch or hear any of it yet, but had a look through the book and all the stuff included. I want to have a good sit down and watch the dvd with no one else around to annoy me tomorrow. Should be a good $129 spent...
