Je viens de recevoir un mail concernant l'avancement de ma "Tardis Box" :
Since THE TARDIS EDITION pre-order closed, we have been busy finalising text details (some changes submitted by expert Doctor Who fans) and of course building the bespoke TARDIS that the CDs will be housed in. As you can imagine, this has been a mammoth task as the attention to detail and quality has been paramount, plus the TARDIS needs to work as a permanent box for the 11 CDs of fantastic music that it will contain.
The TARDIS is currently in production in China, we have just received these pictures from the factory of it being assembled from matching the colour to putting on the doors and fitting the electronics.
The final edition quantity has been rounded up to 1000 (orders were just under that), so when you get your TARDIS, the certificate of authentication will say "No. 232/1000"(for example). As you can see from the pictures, each one is individually hand-made which is quite a task!
Now for the million dollar question: when can you expect delivery?
We are still not sure but this is an estimate:
- TARDIS box to be fully assembled - Week ending 7th September (approximate)
- Testing electronics and final production sample to the UK - Week ending 21st September (approximate)
- TARDIS box to leave the factory for shipping - approximately one week later
- Ship to dock in England - The ship is likely to take 6-8 weeks
- TARDIS to finish being assembled with CDs, certificate and booklet – Week commencing 10th November (to be confirmed)
- TARDIS to be delivered to you – End of November
Point intéressant : c'est une édition limitée à environ 1000 exemplaires.
Par contre : quel retard ! Elle était initialement prévue pour août, maintenant, c'est fin novembre

En même temps, ça fera un beau cadeau pour Noël

(en espérant qu'elle ne soit pas repoussée en 2015...)
Tout ça me rappel la box Elfman/Burton... On peut toujours rêver, mais Silva pourrait nous offrir un CD inédit pour nous faire patienter

(ils l'avaient bien fait pour la box Elfman/Burton)
