Errors / Issues on 'The Lot' (First Edition)

When you place both editions side by side you notice that the cover of the 2nd edition is a little lighter than the first.

I call that more than a little. Quite striking! Great catch, thanks.

Any safe link to purchase it? I don´t want the old box...

wonder if the replacement is only given to those living in the UK? A
friend of mine also has the "defective" 1st edition whereas me having
the new one as mine was delivered only two weeks ago via amazon Germany.
I wrote Melissa Noble @ Universal last Monday (found her email address
here) as my contact at Universal Germany never replied in this matter.
Any reply would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year to all Queen
fans around the globe. Hans from Germany

Hi Hans,

ich hatte bei Amazon vorbestellt. Die defekte Erstausgabe habe ich zurückgeschickt und mir den Kaufpreis erstatten lassen. Parallel dazu habe ich mich an die bei Facebook gepostete Emailadresse ([email protected]) gewendet, die Fehlerliste hier aus dem Forum reinkopiert und den Kaufbeleg von Amazon angefügt. Die allseits bekannte Emma ([email protected]) hat mir geantwortet und letzten Samstag ist eine komplette, neue Box eingetroffen :)

No, I received a replacement here in Finland.

At first I contacted Universal, and they told me that QOL store where I bought it would send me a replacement.

Because of my location (and the return postage being about half of the sale price), I wasn't asked to return the first box.

I'm in the Netherlands, ordered through Amazon.co.uk and received a replacement from Universal UK.

Pim,

did you have to send the first box back?

I've sent 4 e-mails now to the relevant parties (including Michelle) and I have not received one reply. Pretty poor when you consider that I pre-ordered my box from QOL on the first day it was listed in the shop (23rd October).

Is anyone else in a similar position still waiting for a response? Having loyally purchased Queen product (and a lot of it) for 35 years, it's a bit frustrating when others have already received their replacement discs and you're left without even a courtesy acknowledgement to an e-mail.

If I was you, I would send them one more e-mail stating that after next week I will be disputing my credit card payment because of their refusal to compensate for a substandard product.

I hope you paid by credit card as well.

It was never mentioned, so ofcourse I didn't send anything back.

So glad that i sent my original copy of The Lot with errors back to Amazon.Used their ring back option on Amazon,spoke to an advisor and then waited ,remained calm and got my 2nd edition copy in time for Christmas for under £80.I think a lot of people seemed on the verge of a nervous breakdown over this release.I do hope though that we dont have to go through this with the next rumoured Queen release !!

Perhaps try emailing them from a different email address? It seems unlikely given how helpful they've been with other people that they would ignore you. They replied to me and I wasn't even asking for anything, I was just complaining at them!

Perhaps your emails are not getting through, or going into spam by mistake or something. Try using a relative's email address instead.

Bloody hell Queen Online have complety sold out of The Lot and its over £200 from third party sellers on Amazon.

Maybe i shouldn´t say this but...

If you search a little, you will find some torrents which contains all box set in flac format, the complete DVD and scans of every page of the book.

Try Amazon Canada, Philip. They still have it at a reasonable price.

Cheers,

Ogre-

Thanks for the info ,i got my Lot set second edition for £76 from amazon.I was just wondering how high the price will go and another thing i am interrested in is how well has The Lot sold and how many copies of FOE sold and did it get into the charts?
