Believe it or not, but this past Monday 6/11/06, I actually had the ROXBOX (4 cds plus the DVD) in my very own hands!!! My wife wants to buy it for me for Christmas, so it was very HARD to put it down... If anyone need info about the store having the ROXBOX in stock, let me know!

Menlyn’s L&L was all out of RoxBoxes when I was there on Sunday. I do however know that they had them (Martin [CoyRoy] told me, plus I saw one there myself).
Sadly, Miss Smarty-Pants over here decided to order it from overseas, so I’m still waiting for it to arrive. *grrrr*
I’ve even considered buying a second box, but I don’t have a use for 2 of them. :(
L&L also has the box for sale online: http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/product/detail.aspx?productid=601EA414-63...
PS: I notice that they state that “this product is out of stock”. But it was in stock this morning. Guess the the Box is selling well here.. ;)

Cool! I didn’t think it would be available in ZA. that’s awesome! but I bought mine a few weeks ago already in Amsterdam:P for about the same price. question: is it manafactured in south-africa, or is it imported?

Did anyone get the roxette special on 5fm on saturday afternoon? I was too busy licking my wounds... but was told it was a pretty neat promo for roxette & the roxbox!

@Jules: It’s imported. Can’t really say from where, though. I’m not only stupid, I’m forgetful too. :P
@Purps: Roxette on 5FM? Dear Lord, who would have known?! Pity I missed it, but it does explain the extremely hot weather we had last week. LOL!

ROX special on 5FM - FANCY! darnit. and i just had to move:( hahaha.
ah, if it’s imported, then it’s the same as mine. made in the EU of course.
@purp, licking wounds? what happened?

Just an update on this...
Loot (www.loot.co.za) has the RoxBox in stock for R455. http://www.loot.co.za/shop/main.jsp?page=detail&id=1108975307498179215
They also have what I can only assume to be the Deluxe Edition of the GH. They have the regular one listed for R123 (http://www.loot.co.za/shop/main.jsp?page=detail&id=6098509071081179215) and then they have this one (http://www.loot.co.za/shop/main.jsp?page=detail&id=7706045074214179215#d...) for R228.
BTW, you gotta love their description of the RoxBox: “This is more than a boxset...it’s a Roxetteboxset!” ;)

mm I love that description;) :D
it reminds me once YEARS ago, someone describing Roxette (on South-African TV I think) as: it’s not pop, it’s not rock, it’s... Roxette!

Just a question before i go out to get the ROXBOX... I read a review that the quality of the recoring or whatever on the DVD is okay for the Unplugged sessions, but that the quality of the videos are quite horrible??? and then again, it DOESN’T have the One Wish video on it. That i downloaded, BUT where will i find the original on disc? Only on a future updated release from the greatest greatest absolute greatest roxette collection ever in the history of planet earth ever ever?
Jules-SouthAfrica said on November 8, 2006 18:09:
suppose so. i was quite disappointed myself when i discovered that one wish was not included. not very clever. but it’s something to look forward to on future discs:)

Hey
I bought the RoxBox in Look & Listen about 2 weeks back for R499-99. Surprisingly cheap!
Menlyn in Pretoria has a few boxes to in L&L.
