Did anyone else receive the stunning third volume of the Nemesis books today. It couldn't look better but it's all in french! Am I unlucky or is everyone affected?
Mine delivered today also in french, someone has cocked up
Mine just arrived, and in English.

Napoleon's revenge for Waterloo
French copy here.
Sacre bleu!
Accordingly to Mills the French model commission structure is so much better
Deathbringer is hard enough to understand for someone who lived in London during Thatcher's regime - what on Earth do they make of it in France I wonder?
Also, since you may in fact be able to answer, what is the French for 'Oy Boys'?
Les garçons de l'oi?
Soyez pur
Soyez vigilant
Se comporter
Ceci n'est pas une pipe!
Désolé – je voulais dire un livre en anglais!
(Apologies to any native French speakers for probably mangling that.)
Did you order it from Rebellion or direct from the publisher?
My copy bought from the 2000AD shop is also in French
Merde!
yup french and yup got it from the 2000ad store
My French copy was direct from 2000ad. Hopefully I'll get a replacement.
Mine's in English but I'm annoyed they haven't bothered to put the marriage story in the right bloody place! 😤 Beautiful book though.
French versions, stories out of order? It's true khaos! Nemesis would be proud!

Presumably using the order from the Rebellion trades, then? A pity.
Email sent to customers service who aren't the quickest at responding, tried the shop number and they aren't taking phone calls
Gonna take a while to sort this one I fear. The books were limited to begin with I think?
Not to rub it in, but mine arrived today and was in English. Good luck to all you with the French edition (unless that's what you wanted in the first place, that is).
Has everybody who ordered one got theirs (In English or the mistake)? Haven't received mine yet, so was just wondering?
Mine came today. It's in Gibberish (a Fringe World dialect).

Brilliant!
Mine hasn't arrived yet but I live closer to France than England so I'm excited to see if this has any impact on which version I get.
Ah, Némésis le Sorcier!
Mine is waiting at the post office (I assume), so that'll be a bit of excitement/disappointment for tomorrow.

Mine is en Anglais, and arrived at the weekend.
::) Sigh, mine is in French.
In a way I'm kind of glad, cos as soon as it was handed over, I could see it was packaged poorly (sliding about inside) and the corners were going to be damaged. Opened up and right enough, damaged corners.
:(
I chased customer services straight away last week, still no response I know they aren't the quickest but 4 days without acknowledging is poor
They'll get back to you soon enough I'm sure. Dealing with a missing prog usually takes a while and given the list above, I'm feeling a bit sorry for the poor support droid.
Clearly Brexit is to blame!
Something is seriously stuffed up in their shipping department. Every order I've place since last July has gone wrong and they only seem to have one droid to field all of the complaints. He can sometimes take more than a week to get back to you but he has always sorted my problems. Eventually.
In my case it really is 'Brexit to blame', but it must be chaos behind the scenes as even a replacement order to cover an earlier c**k up went wrong. I was assured that they are trying to sort it out but clearly they're not there yet.
Il est arrivé aujord'hui! Mais, SACRE BLEU! C'est en Anglais!!!! Mais non! Pah, les Rosbifs!
Would've shared my exciting unboxing video if this forum could handle it but you'll just have to imagine it now instead.
Message coming to you all I expect:
QuoteI'm sorry to hear that you have received a french copy of Nemesis the Warlock: The Final Heresies. We became aware that our warehouse partners had received these copies in error and didn't notice until they had all been sent out!
I have organised an English replacement copy to be sent out and you will receive an E-mail when this has been dispatched.
May I please ask that you return the french copy to:
Riverside House,
Osney Mead,
Oxford,
Oxfordshire,
OX2 0ES,
United Kingdom.
Once this has been done if you could send us an image of the receipt I will refund the postage paid right away for you.

Thanks to my mastery of the french language, I was able to ascertain, that the sacred blue roast beef you had ordered from England will be arriving today. ;)
I've just popped my French copy of Nemesis back in the post and 2000ad are refunding my £4.20 recorded cost. They are sending out a new copy. All good.
They'll be hoping they didn't send too many French editions out to Australia - return postage could be a bit pricey there
Got my English replacement copy today of Nemesis book 3. I'm really pleased with the customer service - my postage of the French copy was refunded really quickly. Cheers to Cameron & Tharg.
Same here! Came very well packaged, and delivered at the same time as my Deluxe Sandman vol 5 too, so that's two amazing works complete in a lovely format.
