Thought i’d add this for info re disc space
Bruce played all instruments on only the first 2 albums plus the bonus albums I thought. Does the box not credit the other (former) members?

Mine arrived today too. Also Frost* Island Live. Where do I start?! Of course, Frost* will have wait a few hours. 
The last thing I ordered from Import CDs which, I think, was the PT C/C box, just showed up on my doorstep pretty close to the release date. I never got any notification that it was on the way or any update that it was delivered, so I wouldn't panic yet.
Variations on a dream
Bruce - vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards and drums
Liz Bramley - backing vocals
W.Torrens - Guitar on Vapour trails
Jon Sykes - Bass on Sooner or later
10 stories down is more of a band affair (my mistake)
Little man
Bruce - Vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards and drums
Jon Sykes - Bass on Boxing day
Well no word from ImportCD's yet and nothing on USPS informed delivery. Maybe tomorrow.

It’s all gone very quiet in here what’s the verdict from you guys that have received and played this?
I only managed to play the first 3 yesterday, mixes are brilliant as you would expect from Bruce, 10 out of 10 so far, each album has about 8 pages of memories, thoughts, feelings and lyrics which all add to the value of the package. The best value package i’ve ever bought but then i’ve never bought 7 albums in one set before

My account was also dinged. I am pretty sure that means they are in hand and maybe already on the way. Like I said above, in the past Import CD purchases have just shown up at my door without any notice.
Otherwise, you'd have to wonder why would they wait until now to hit your account if they didn't have the product in hand. They could have done that when you pre-ordered if they were so inclined.
Discogs says Hi Res Stereo should be there but the screenshot earlier in the thread on here (and my looking at it) it isn't there.
So.....would downmixing 5.1 to stereo be "better" than the ripped CD?
Downmix would be 24-48 but the downmix may be "weird" stereo I guess?

I'm really enjoying these early Thief albums.
I see Neil is credited with the Playtesting ...presume that's for the 5.1 mixes?

For stereo, stick to the CDs. There wouldn't be any audible difference in quality between 16/44.1 and 24/48 (or higher), anyway, barring a difference in mastering. Downmixing would deliver a mix not intended by Bruce.
Just got an email from Import CDs, mine is on the way.
