Basically, im a student! and when i had learnt that the DVDs had been re-released i was envious of all that could afford it, and just drooled over the Bond case you could get.
Well imagine my glee when just as Christmas approaches, the set gets reduced, but oh no, they bring out a new cardboard case, i was not happy.
I went into London and saw that they had a few cases left....for the reduced price, it was to be mine!!!! I rushed home and told my mother that i would do anything if she would sub me the money till my next pay-cheque! i finally obtained that money on the Monday just gone! i go into London HMV, sold out of cases, they ring around for me and tell me they have 5 copies left in Picadilly, i go picadilly, they tell me they are sold out and that it has been discontinued....but that Oxford street has 3 left, i go to Oxford Street....sold out they say BOND street has some (i was now thinking...surely that is a sign)
I enter the HMV...i ask the man behind the counter...he replies "no chance mate last 2 went ages ago, its been discontinued, but we have the new case..." , i had to stop him there,,it was getting too much!
so i did it....i had enough...so i went there..OH YES...i went there...the enemy...i went...to Virgin bloody Megastores, i didnt want to buy anything...i just wanted to show those bloody beurocrats at HMV....
....then i see it...shining behind the counter...i hadnt had enough water that day...it could easily have been a mirage...but no beneath a box set of M.A.S.H...was the James Bond Collection...in the shiny case....i approached the counter and calmy said "do you have any more"...he opened a little draw and there it stood!
Sadly it was not in the package you got in HMV bt i didnt care...it was here in my hands! at just £10 more....although i still saved with my student discount!!!!
Minor faint scratches on the top of the case, and 4 of the dvds (all are sealed) are not in the cardboard slip case! but i had it....i had..my case, i didnt ask for a bag...this was to be carried...by hand!!!!
i apologise for this thread, i had to get it out of my system...i finally have it, i may not have been enough of a bond fan to get it on release (not my fault im a student) but i hope the struggles i went through...deems me that status
p.s im sure im like hundreds of others who have the same code for the case....i dont think i need to say it!
