I'm just glad they've not made changes. E.g. it's now on black vinyl or they've added the live albums.

Got the 1st press... they said it was limited... now it's the 4th reprint, again limited... the box is really beautiful but maybe there are only one billions of pieces out there, very limited.
I want to be honest; this forum is the only place where a fan can dream for a new release or something really special.
Not the Queen, not Jim Beach or the music industry but THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THE QUEEN LEGACY IS FULLY RESPECTED!
Thanks to everyone involved here!

It’s the easiest way to get all albums. I bought the first edition after I started collecting the vinyls, because it’s cheaper than buying every album alone. At least it had been the case when I bought it. I also liked that the MP3 downloads were included. That book is a good read with nice pics. I really enjoyed to decipher the handwritten lyrics!

I said it once, and I'll say it again: I've more faith in us fans uncovering little gold nuggets compared to Queen. |

I didn't know this was the 4th pressing, I was under the impression this was the second.
Now I don't know which one I have.
Is there a way to tell?

I'm pretty sure this is already the 5th. There was the first one in 2015, a second one in 2016, a third in 2019, a fourth in 2020 (the one I have), and now the 5th this year! Also notice how it gets more expensive with every re-release! I didn't know this was the 4th pressing, I was under the impression this was the second. Now I don't know which one I have. Is there a way to tell? I don't think there is a definitive way to tell, as even the barcordes are the same on every pressing, but the closest you'll get is the year that you bought the set! |

Personally i don't have problem if they reprint it but please don't call it a limited edition.
I'm really happy if everyone could buy it because is a really beautiful box.
In this era the definition of "limited edition" is just for the scammer e-bayers.

This... a bit annoying that they keep repressing a limited edition.
Yes, 200.000 copies is also limited, but typically 'limited' means just that, limited to a small number.

Surely every release is a limited edition otherwise there would have to be an infinite number pressed...

i don't see the issue here. if you're buying this because you want it - the number of pressings are wholly irrelevant. |

I guess, like you said, it depends on the reason for purchase, but if you are purchasing something because you believe it's going to be limited to a certain number, then I can understand the slight vexation if it keeps being re-issued, as then it's not quite so limited, and surely devalues your original purchase to some degree? |

At the end it doent's matter if it's limited or not. The positive thing is that many of us could buy it and enjoy that box and i'm really happy about it.

I still haven't made my way through the Boxset after picking it up on release back in 2015. I still play my original pressings for the most part.
