Well, I do have details sent by PM a few hours ago. I guess I can prove the claims right or wrong when the box is out.

I have received items early in the past (or even bought directly from a shop, pre-release), but never more than a day or two early. I remember having the Freddie 10CD box 2 days early because my order came in to the old shop, Music Zone, and also Guns n Roses Chinese Democracy ONE day early...but a month? Sorry, I call shenanigans.
Without a photo, it didn't happen. Poster is a newbie, and hasn't done the easiest thing possible. They're going by the official news, nothing more, nothing less. NO-ONE and I mean NO-ONE, receives their stock THAT early (having worked in retail for around 20 years of my life).
I'm happy to stand corrected. Photo proof, please.

A numbered limited edition The Miracle picture disc was also made available for pre-order at the same time as the box set, but 10 days later it's not sold out.
I find this surprising, because I think Flash Gordon was the last one, in January 2021, and its 1980 copies sold out within minutes. All of the other recent picture discs sold out quickly, too (Never Boring, The Game, Jazz etc.). So what's going on with this one? I guess it's hard to compare since we don't know how many copies of The Miracle were made, but chances are it's 1989 copies, based on what they've done with other releases. Brian's recent solo picture discs had runs of 3000 and 2500, though, so could they have gone with a higher run?

Actually, I once bought a DVD/CD box 2 months before the official release date and it was in a regular CD shop (Free Record Shop, for the dutchies). They put it on the shelf too early by mistake, the next day the remaining copies were gone and didn't return until the official release date.... so yeah it might be seldom but it happens. |

If it's true that some people have already received this, what say we have a "no spoilers" policy until the release date? Personally, I'd rather have the enjoyment of hearing this for the first time when it arrives, then we can all compare notes together. 2 years of speculation is going to stop now??? |

Looks nice... Almost a month before the release date, the box starts to be sold, but there is still no trailer video on the official website and youtube channel  |

I wonder if the retailer could get into trouble for shipping it as early as this?

I'm very interested to buy it from there now! With that lower price and availability. But it doesn't seem to ship to UK or did I just not find it?

Several people requesting/demanding that I send proof that I actually own the Box set. Here you go Looks great! Hopefully the audio contents don't dissapoint either. You got a great deal there with such a discount! I've ordered from DVD-outlet.nl (via bol.com) quite some timestamp myself, but didn't think of checking for this item. |

The press release for The Miracle box set states: “Widely recognised as Queen’s strongest album of the 80’s” Erm…I think ‘The Game’ wants a word!!! It most certainly does! I was really hoping for The Game or Live Killers for the next SDE. Personally speaking, The Miracle is my least favourite Queen album and I can't get excited about this release at all. A multi-channel mix may have piqued my interest but alas.... |

I ordered the box at dvd-outlet as well this afternoon (and cancelled my order at the shop where I already ordered it)
I'm curious if it really will be shipped and received in a few days.
But even if not, this price discount was too much to not cancel my previous order (almost 60 euros compared to QOL!)

I was very tempted to buy on this site after finding out this, but they don't ship to the UK. Well I couldn't see it listed!

I ended up ordering the picture disc as I had a discount for my birthday, lol. I had previously told myself I'd only order PD for my favourite Queen albums (ie, The Game one), but decided what the heck. You only live once... A numbered limited edition The Miracle picture disc was also made available for pre-order at the same time as the box set, but 10 days later it's not sold out. I find this surprising, because I think Flash Gordon was the last one, in January 2021, and its 1980 copies sold out within minutes.

If it's any help for people in the UK, my friend from the UK had sent their order to an address of one of their friends from a country they deliver to. Then their friend will send it to him. Will be a bit of an extra cost and mess around for him but having it a few weeks early will be nice and he's a huge Miracle fan.
He also said the site accepted his UK card and confirmed they had shipped it out today so no issues with them accepting UK payments.
I'm personally just going to keep my order because it has the press kit and teaser tape contents. I'll wait! But thought this info might be of help.

Several people requesting/demanding that I send proof that I actually own the Box set. Here you go Can you give us a little info on the "Sessions" disc. Is "I Guess We're Falling Out" and "Dog With A Bone" the same versions that leaked years ago and have been on youtube up until recently? I'm assuming "Water" and "You Know You Belong To Me" are sung by Brian? Please. |

PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL ANY OF THE CONTENTS! I’m glad people are getting theirs early but some of us aren’t so lucky. Please wait until the release date to discuss the contents – or I can start a spoilers thread so those who have it can discuss.

SPOILERS!
ALERT!
SPOILERS!
ALERT!
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BOX SET AND DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!
THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!
Some folks are getting their Collector’s Edition of The Miracle well before the release date. Some folks aren’t so lucky. Those who are, discuss here. When the box set is finally released on November 18th, we’ll decide what to do with the thread (either keep it open or start another one).
