I got mine from Forbidden Planet in the UK, and sometimes it happens where they get their shipment before the US does. I don't know if its started shipping in the US yet, but should be soon.

It looks as though the hand was either added or the Orb was added it looks computer generated. I really like it and think that it is the best prop so far. I can't wait to get it. BCC sent me a bill for it so they should send you a shipping notice soon VampireStake.

Does the orb feel plastic or is it more glass-like? Does it have a heft to it?

Yep the orb's quite heavy - like a real crystal ball type thing. Definitely doesn't feel like plastic!

Mine arrived from FP today too. I was shocked as I didn't even know it was coming, must have missed the announcement.
The packaging as mentioned isn't quite as flattering as it could be the Vampyr book replica box is really nice, so was the Stake sleeve and the Sword of Angelus box
The orb itself is really heavy! And the "soul" effect in the orb itself is nice.
The display box is huge, much bigger than I expected, but Factory X have fallen down on the quality of the wood used again (as with the stake and Vampyr book), for a few more dollars outlaid this box could have been made with a higher quality wood and made all the difference without pushing the price up either.
The only thing I noticed is the orb doesn't sit into the sponge properly (or mine doesn't) so you cannot get the lid on without nearly crushing the orb.
Quite impressed overall and a nice surprise to come home too!
Worth £59.99 though, erm not really, if you have Christmas money or something as I did then treat yourself!
EDIT: The orb is made of "polyresin", which is a fancy name for plastic!

XD I love how they added the hand to Willow on the cover! I would have thought Jenny would be on the cover... but oh well.
The orb looks amazing! It has the look of a soul inside. One of their better props. I would so get one if I had the money.
Can the lid fit on when the Orb is sitting in the case? Or does the lid have to just be on the side somewhere?

I too would have thought that Jenny would be on the cover holding it as she is the one who purchased it in the container. Then again Willow is the one that used it.

I bet its just Alyson Hannigan's face is much more reconizable to people outside the show, and easier to sell.

after much observation from the pictures, the box cannot be covered with the orb inside, look at the part where the top and bottom part seperate, it shows that the top is only like half high. anyway, the "soul" orb look makes it look...shattery..
