As Chris McFeely reported earlier, thetf.net forum member Casperuk had mentioned that Play.com have dispatched his order for the Complete RID Boxset, which had been confirmed as cancelled last month. Casperuk got his package today and had this to say

Complete RID DVD boxset… er… NOT cancelled?
Despite the recent news from Maximum Entertainment’s Colin Lomax than the six-disc complete boxset for “Transformers Robots in Disguise” had been cancelled, Play.Com are reporting that they have it in stock.
TF.Net forum member Casperuk has reported that his copy has been dispatched, so when he receives it I guess we’ll be able to make heads or tails of all this!
