I ordered my package on 10/26 and I'm still waiting. I'm sad to hear that so many people have been experiencing mixed results... I hope things turn out okay in the end for everyone. I'm still excited (!!) for mine but I got this email a couple of days ago (boo):

I'd just like to report that the movie is awesome!

For those of us, who unlike me, don't resist the temptation to buy the standalone CD/DVD, the wait IS worth it.

Still peeved that we shouldn't even have this wait, though.

OK, I ordered the second that they went on sale. I mean I was constantly refreshing the broswer until the first link to buy appeared. So, I figure I was one of the firt 20-50 people to order this. This was within the 5PM hour EST on 10/24/08.

- My Bank Account has still not been charged and they havee the wrong tshirt size coming. I need an XL - if anyone wants to trade when & if I do receive the package

I'm starting to get the feeling WB has no idea whats going on between reading through this thread and receiving a barrage of WB letters-- right after they sent me an "it will take 5 to 7 business days" letter, they sent me a letter informing me that my package had been shipped 3 days prior. Ok...

got mine in the uk yesterday, signed box with bonus laser pointer

great stuff

my order still says "in process" and in case it already shipped, I will be in philly all day today so I will miss the delivery. Not that it will come today or anything though.

I just emailed them in hopes of receiving one back saying "OF COURSE you're getting a signed box, golden ticket AND blowjob for all of your patience and for the fact that we're big huge fuck ups! Have a nice day!"

I can't wait.

I canceled my order - FUCK this incompetence!!!

kthxbai

so the vinyl ones should be shipping in a couple days, lets hope that those shipments go normal since theres nothing special added to them

In Process Christmas on Mars Special Edition Vinyl Package
FLAMING LIPS VINYL 1 $27.98 $27.98

2 boxes arrived yesterday but no one was home to sign for them. My roommate should be there all day, can't wait to open my goodies!

FUCK YEAH!!!! That's what I wanted to see!!!

Ordered 10/24, the SECOND they went on sale

Received 11/18 - box NOT autographed

fuck you WB

im not sure if i was in the first 1000, but i sure was hoping for that autographed copy

Try asking. My email to them basically stated "I ordered mine on Oct. 26th and according to Warner Bros. there were 750 pre-orders by Oct. 29th. Therefore, I am well within the first 1,000 and expect an autographed copy." And they responded positively. Maybe you'll be in luck?
