    I had pre-ordered the 5-8 CD set in May. Checking my order today, I noticed a shipping charge (I'm not a prime member).
    At that time, the free shipping kicked in at $50, and is now at $25. Order cancelled and re-ordered with free ship.
    You may want to check your order as well? :righton:

    Curious on this. If you did a pre order, the price of the set would have been determined on the release date to the lowest listed since that order. Does the reduction in shipping costs account for the lowest price of the set since May?

    The reduction in shipping was done by Amazon this past summer. My pre-order was done before that, but cost was still attached to my order. Shipping cost has no bearing on the actual cost of the item. I just cancelled the first order and did a second pre-order at the same lowest price (36.49) but now with free shipping. Hope I explained that OK for you.

    Actually it does not. The lowest price is based on the lowest price since the order is placed. It fluctuates and you don't know what the final price is until the release date. I placed my order back in the spring and have no idea what the final price will be until I am charged. If you cancel and create a new order, the price will be based on the lowest price since that new order is placed.

    @Muzyck The price is the same, it currently as low as it's ever been. It's still a pre-order until release.

    I would have no idea. I don't watch price fluctuations on my Amazon purchases. I place an order and forget about it. I guess I am getting old. :)

    They send an email update on price drops.

    I emailed Amazon US two weeks ago about this issue. They replied within a couple of hours and told me they would be housed in cardboard replica
    sleeves. So, I am assuming they are the gold discs.

    I emailed Amazon US about two weeks ago and they replied with 'cardboard sleeves'. I'm guessing they will be the gold discs.

    Anytime I have ever contacted Amazon I got the impression that they really don't have much product knowledge and just give whatever they think is the best answer. So you never really know from what they say.

    if these were being released as gold discs then it would have been announced or mentioned in some sort of press release. i sincerely and highly doubt that these will be on gold cds.

    I picked up 5-8 last night. Silver discs, paper sleeves that are a bit wider than usual to accept the discs and folded sleeve notes. "On the Beach" has beach umbrella print inside sleeve walls and "Tonight's the Night" is a gatefold and has the black label. Very pleased, tonight's the night I will listen to them.

    Yes, they have spines and the "NYA" branding. I too love jewel cases but these aren't typical tight fitting cardboard. I'm sorry but I'm unable to post pictures. I have no idea how it is done and my phone is maxed out with photos. Trust me, it's a cool little box set! And "Time Fades Away" is here, on my shelf...AT LAST!

    posting a picture is as easy as going to imgur.com, uploading an image, copying the link and pasting it here.

    Sorry, I thought you bought ORS 1-4 in a box rather than individually. My error.

    8.5 - 12 box out for delivery from Bull Moose, will be there when I get home.

    5-8 box not yet shipped from Bull Moose. Strange that.

    If the sleeves look like the 1-4 gold disc box cardboard sleeves, I'll be happy.

    Really looking forward to both sets. Now I can permanently shelve my underground copy of Time Fades Away. Next up: Hitchhiker ( fingers crossed)

    Even more exciting for me, I have never heard TFA. It's a bit like Christmas Eve tonight when I was a kid LOL.
