Got mine 3 min ago and I can say is " Thank You R.E.M.!" Bill looks so great and I love there was plenty of pics of all 4 members ( yes let's be proud that Bill's back). I saw some members posting their numbers from the CD mine is #2839 ;)
CD is a pure joy to listen brings warm feelings of the year of Berry. And I have high good hopes that 2007 will be the " Year Of R.E.M." :D

I got the package yesterday- what a lovely christmas present! Why do I get so impatient? Santa has been good and come here early anyway. A huge thank you to the REMHQ team who must have worked so hard to get this out. Everyone's right it is super cool- anarchic black and silver- the stencil card is fab, the calendar is the best yet, the CD is groovy, the sticker is slimline and sleek and to cap it all the CD has two tracks from my favourite album (and the alternating covers are great esp. the chinese/japanese influenced Tongue.) Fabulous, just fabulous. I'm a happy bunny.:D :* :D

Just got it.  Love the pictures!  The guys look great.  The black and
gray are very rich on the whole package.  The number on my dvd is 306.
I wonder how many people are in the fan club?

Bill looks very happy on all the pictures.  

Thank you R.E.M., great package.

Just got it a little while ago. Listening to "Begin The Begin" right now, which I think is the best track on the disc. Great pictures in the calendar too! January's is my favorite.

I got mine today and am listening to the cd right now. This is my first fc single as a fanclubber and it's a good one. Makes me kind of excited for the Finest Worksongs cd release.

Thanks Fanclub!

I did so well and I didn't read any of the spoilers,  I got mine today and was very happy with what I saw.  I have yet to hear it.  And cool to have professional recordings of the songs since I couldn't be there.  I was surprised to see 4 songs,  the most ever.  The sticker and card are cool and the calendar is gorgeous.  Very awesome January pic with the four of them.  It's like Bill's back not that he really left.  That first one would make a nice poster.

Thanks to R.E.M. and the fanclub.  I was so happy when it came today as I was worried it may not arrive before Christmas but it did.

Well, I figured that the package would arrive today, because the blizzard here in Denver only stopped midday yesterday (and judging by the snowdrift hanging over the roof of my building, poised to plunge off the edge, the snowstorm was bad.)  

Now, I'm cooling my heels while the elevator guys are looking into why both elevators aren't working, so I can get downstairs to the mailbox.  Wheelchairs=pain in ass.  But I know what the gift is now, thanks to you excited people who can't wait to share, and I'm looking forward to getting downstairs!

I imagine some people must feel kinda silly now after all that carping.  Tempests in teapots...

[REMFan]

It appears that more US people are getting their package!  There's no reason I shouldn't get mine in California tomorrow.  If I don't it will be the first time I received it after Xmas. :(   But, I still have 1 more day to get it!  :) Nothing like waiting til the last minute.

Got mine a few days ago and I love it.
Thanks Guys:D

[Ubergrier]

I made it downstairs, and NO package.  No external mail, only the local flyer.  Damn snow...disgruntlement...Well, there is tomorrow, and I'm glad I'm not flyin' anywhere.

[Leilani]

I'm so happy - mine arrived to me in New Zealand this morning - I'm going to wait til Chrimbo Day to open it now - and I've not read anything about it.

I'm sure my boyfriend will be delighted to listen/watch REM on Christmas Morning!

[rem193]

Can anyone tell me why people get in the R.E.M. fanclub and turn around and SELL their christmas package on eBay?  Did these people actually listen to it or what?  I can see if you have the older ones...sure,  but we only received it THIS week.  I guess to some people it's all about making money... Greed!!!

[halfaworldaway]

Number 8182 arrived here Thursday. Very nice it is too. Love the CD!

[In the Corner]

Mine arrived in Texas today.  Gorgeous packaging.  Love the calendar, as always.  Haven't listened to the CD yet - was out all day, got home late.  The pictures of all 4 guys together are awesome.
