It’s mental seeing how much people are flogging these for on eBay. It makes me happy that the worst offenders ($2400, $2250, $1000, $875) are failing so far.

My daughter was round last night as I was opening it, so being a dad I made of show of the unboxing and my daughter turned to her fella and 'oh by the way did you know my dads a massive geek'. To which I replied that when I croak she's going to have make sure that they look after my Def Leppard stuff because its worth a lot of money. She promptly went on ebay to see what these were worth and said they are selling for over £600. My mrs now thinks I paid £600 for the book

This book looks great, although seeing people all over the world receive the collectors edition is giving me mega FOMO lol, an email has been sent, how long does it take to get a copy out to someone in the UK?

Mine only arrived a week ago. Whomever came up with the quote “patience is a virtue” obviously lived in mid-evil times. Amazon delivers some of my packages the same day. My patience ran out last year for this book. However their email was nice and said I would be getting it soon. And I remember waiting 4 years for Adrenalize, so……

My 'Publishers Copy' has arrived! Interestingly, there is a signed 'plate' on the front inside cover of the book. Maybe it was intended this way, but it clearly did not happen as planned, as we all too well know! T The blue slipcase is cool, the photo stunning and the ticket is very unique! **Genesis based this replica ticket on my original, which I provided for them**

It has finally arrived. Collector Edition Number 944 was sitting on the front steps directly under the melting icicles. Luckily they packed it securely. The pics are amazing. Now, I just have to learn how to read again. Bring on the 4th Box Set!!!!

I haven't received my copy yet, but at least, at last, a couple of hours ago, I got a notification from PostNord that it has been dispatched and is on the way... About bloody time .

Thought I'd jump on and say gudday!
Taking an interest in this apparent selling them online for ridiculous amounts of money. I am guessing these people didn't buy one for themselves, else they are just idiots if they bought them just to rip off real fans like a scalper at a concert.
The reason mentioned this, is that mine (a Collector's Edition) was (purchased by and) sent to my girlfriend in the UK (I am Australian), and she got two dropped at her door. Fortunately, her being honest, she rang then up to tell them and they came and picked it up to forward it to the actual recipient, apparently somewhere on the US. So hopefully one of you who haven't received yours, will get it because she did so 🤘🏻😎🤠
And to those others who received two accidentally and are those bastards who are flogging the second copy on ebay, I hope you get found out and people trash you hard.
Another thing, as you all know, each Collectors Edition is numbered, and Genesis know who was allocated each edition, so if you want to catch them out, just take that number (of provided by the seller on ebay) and given them a ring and give the number and see what they say about it...
Anyway, I love mine, actually cried when I found the autograph page!!!
My only gripe, if it really is one, was the guitar picks are only plastic and not the metal ones we know they play with live...
Oh well, what an amazing piece of memorabilia! When the initial delays came in with the publishing of the fancy copies last year, my girlfriend got me one of the standard editions, just to tide me over and that was awesome enough in itself!
Hope you love yours as much as I love mine!
Let's Get Rocked!
Hoo roo!

Hope you love yours as much as I love mine! Let's Get Rocked! Hoo roo! Well done to her, for her honesty. I know of some being ‘lost’ with no whereabouts known. A real shame! Unfortunately, these ebayers are everywhere. If people don’t pay ridiculous money, they won’t make their crazy profits. Viv and Phil do use the ‘plastic’ plectrums on some songs, steel on the majority. This is a full set of all the band (including Rick Allen) on the tour. Not easy to source and collect the full five individually, so you do have a treasure! If you are lucky and fast there are a few Viv and Phil steel plectrums listed on eBay, to complete the set of seven. Enjoy your majestic and stunning collectors copy!!

Genesis have announced today that an extra 100 signed vault copies have been made available.
Similar to the limited edition Collector edition and minus the 3 passes.
I have grabbed one as missed out last time
Good luck everyone.
