Good news to zombies out there with dates to keep.

THE WALKING DEAD CALENDAR was incorrectly listed with a 14.79 Wholesale price (INC GST) in the October Manga and Graphic Novels Catalogue.

The correct WSP is in fact $11.97 Inc GST

Contact the sales hotline or make your orders via the B2B ordering system!

Madman regrets to advise that this product is encoded Region A and will not play on local (Region B) Australian Blu-Ray Players.

In partnership with our US supplier, Madman arranged for Region A+B discs to be supplied, but due to an error on the part of the US manufacturing partner the discs were incorrectly mastered as Region A only.

We have already ordered a new replication run of corrected stock. We'll have a fixed edition created and resolicit Soul Eater on Blu-Ray in 2012.

For now this stock has been recalled and is not to be sold. Retailers will have received instructions from their Madman account manager.

Customers can receive a refund at their place of purchase.

The upcoming Collection 3+4 Blu-Ray MMB1062BR (September) will also be delayed for release and reissued alongside Collection 1+2.

Madman apologises for any inconvenience and we look forward to announcing a new release window.

Manga retailers please note that the July release NEON GENESIS EVANGELION (MANGA) V12 - Catalogue number KK35512 - was issued with the incorrect ISBN.

This data error has been corrected; please note the new ISBN:

978-981-276-813-1

Thank you for your understanding.
