I ordered this from UK, because I just couldn't wait. It arrived Monday and to my horror, I found the foldout on the lid had been ripped and the pin broken off the "Derek is Eric" badge. Also, the pin punched a hole through decal and poster. Most of the damage seems to have been done by the book; which is just banging around loose inside the case. The LP folder is ripped at the top where one LP pushed through as well.
The cheapest method I can find to send it back is USPS at $50. I don't see how Amazon UK shipped it here for 4 GBP. The good news is, while debating whether and how to send it back, I listened to the 5.1 disc and have to agree it is sublime.
I hope the US versions are packed better internally. Reading the comments on the Amazon UK site; there are a lot of packaging complaints.
