Thank you all It probably looks from the outside like pedantry, but the rigid time clock release method is best after trying it a few times in the past. It allows anyone around the globe a good shot at getting a copy, given the limited batch runs of physical games at least.

The fact that we have a UK bank holiday and the new King getting his hat put on does not actually help either TBH LOL

If just wanting a Digital copy, then you can bypass www.MutationSoftware.uk and go direct to the Mutation shop on Etsy where the new game should appear at the allotted time slot.

Ouch, that additional costs are killing. 17GBP for the game, but 24 postage plus import fees

Thank eBay & UK Brexit for that! Least import duty tax to you is paid and moreover it's tracked once we get the order to the UK sort hub - then it's eBay's responsibility to deliver the goods. Safest method for everybody at least.

I did warn about this last year I think. Very limited options now TBH.

Will the WHDLoader also install the CD32 version? No CD32 console but would be nice to have the intro

Indeed the postage costs abroad are horrendous, same when buying outside the UK .. boo UK government.

There is nothing I can do about it much in reality as I mentioned earlier I fully understand your position.

Basically almost everything has gone up, Brexit (CN22's on everything leaving the UK now), UK leaving Europe etc.
You would still have to pay customs import duty usually regardless too even if we mailed direct via CN22 method but with no tracking in that case.

Tried to keep the Big Glossy Box down but each one compared to Wiz in 2020 went up $4.50 too as did all the printing charges.

If it is too much to stomach your best bet if you want the game, is buy the Digital download version perhaps.

We may be able to offer a few reduced price Big Glossy Boxes in a few weeks time that are slightly damaged at the factory so are classed as bin ends.

No worries

Bought the physical mirco version and just heard my brother bought the big glossy box...

I guess it's not possible to combine these 2 orders in 1 shipment, send it to 1 address to reduce shipping/import costs?

The WHDLoad patch does handle the CD32 version too yes it states in the notes so you should be OK with that.

The video intro only included on the CD32 CDROM as an extra file not FMV.

The full Physical CD32 CDROM which is FREE in the Big Glossy Box, has a Bonus directory with some extra little bits and bobs in it too.

Totally boo yes

1) Using the eBay Global Shipping Programme, WE CANNOT COMBINE MULTIPLE MIXED TYPE ITEMS POSTAGE FEES if shipping outside UK (If you wish to bulk order many EXACT SAME ITEMS outside the UK, then please contact us first so we can lower your overall postage fees, and return any overpayment due to you via PayPal).

Yes... saw the big remark in red after I ordered we probably rushed out to order so we wouldn't miss this. Feels a bit like the limited run games stress

It is very limited run yes.

Even if we could offer the Big Glossy Boxes another way the scalpers tend to grab them in blocks and charge silly money for them.

Selling and shipping this sort of product these days Worldwide in the current world climate is best described as 'painful' TBH.

Anybody being or feeling 'mugged off' should just buy the Digital version, I don't see the extra cash eBay make for sure and the selling and processing fees all round are pretty insane my end :P

It is hard to do this Physically at these low volumes is all I can add.

I've just done a small deal with new partner Alinea Computer (Germany) to take some of the stock, so that may help in Europe in the coming weeks.
