hmm...my order status says - Shipped on 2015-03-11 - and I got the email saying I made the cut off, but when I check the tracking all I see is "Shipping labels created". Anyone else see the same? Not panicing yet...

Yeah, same thing here, it's been "Shipping label created" for me since last Thursday or Friday.  I'm not sweating it, I'll get it when I get it.

The truck with the CDs broke down en route to Chicago. The discs arrived on Wednesday and the Numero Group elves are hurriedly putting the sets together and shipping them. They pre-printed the shipping labels to speed up the process.

yeah, I was just confused with the "shipped" notification and all. Not sweating it either, but since I'm getting it shipped to the huge multi-office building I work in, I keep an out out for stuff so it doesn't end up somewhere else.

Mine came today and I'm told I looked more excited than I've ever looked about the mail.

JUST GOT THIS

I don't have time to open it and explore before work, but the CONSOLIDATED CARDBOARD shipping tape made my heart nearly burst with happiness.

I'm in Chicago but have yet to receive mine.

Here is an unboxing video. It appears to be quite an impressive package.

The Jon Solomon appearance explained where the track "Jay and Paul in the Studio" comes from - it's Jon Wurster's first appearance on Tom's pre-Best Show show. He and another one of Tom's friends play two guys who won a contest to appear on the show.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Wow, got mine today.  This is the gold standard of boxsets. If you don't have this, for the love of God order it now!

This thing is seriously beautiful. $100+shipping is a SERIOUS bargain. My wife bought it for me for Christmas, and as we were going through it today I was suddenly panicked that she spent way too much money on a gift for me. I couldn't believe her when she told me it was merely $100. I will gladly over-pay for whatever cool Scharpling+Wurster product comes out after this.

My exact thoughts. I own about 50 boxsets of at least 4xCDs and not only was this a steal at 16xCD and $100, but it's by far the nicest one I own. I'm hoping someone's making money on this. My brother-in-law, who's a new fan of the show and went with me to the Chicago show, said he's buying the box when it's available in May.
