So I've been on a bit of a shopping spree with all these amazon credits I'm getting, and have been ordering a few hardcore albums that I don't have, especially from the Bonkers series.
Just got Best Of Bonkers in the mail today, and noticed that the packaging is way different than all the ones I already have. It's like a box with the 3 CDs in individual inserts. Is this normal, or do I have a reprinted edition, or even a real edition?

That's exactly like the one I have, and it surprised me when I received it. The images on discogs show the exact same type of packaging, so I imagine that's how they were all made.

Yes, Best of Bonkers is made that way. I have it as well.
Anything with React on it is original, but if it says Central Station or MRA it will be different from my experience.
My Bonkers 6 & 7 are plastic cases by Central Station. When I got Bonkers 16 mine was Central Station which didn't have the sparkly cover.

ok cool. they obviously wanted to do something different for that one since it was a Best Of album.
Sucks that it doesn't even fit into my CD case lol I have to put it on top of it.

They're a bloody pain, them things. I have a bunch of Trojan reggae sets that are in them boxes and they need to be stored separately. Well, it doesn't matter now as I use a large bookshelf but when I've had CD stands before them cardboard clamshell things are a nuisance. The Sound of Happycore series were like that as well!
I bought that Best of Bonkers from HMV when it came out, so I assumed that they were all like that. The Hixxy and Re-Con mix is brilliant.

Not yet I'm waiting for the prices to drop on them at Amazon. All the albums from volume 1-7 average more than 10USD not including shipping. Really don't want to spend more than 10 overall for each of them. Manage to have gotten most of the ones now for less than 8USD.

Yah Amazon is awesome for shopping for hardcore albums. Last summer I was able to find BONKERS HARDCORE, HARDCORE NATION 2009, CLUBLAND XTREME 4 and a 6 disc Deca Dance hardcore comp. All for 0.01? each.

I don't know if it matters but I use Amazon.co.uk and if you look for one of the sellers named "Zoverstocks" they have a wide selection of used Hardcore Albums. You kinda have to keep checking on a daily basis because the prizes fluctuate.
See what I mean ------ >

Yea but how much is he charging for delivery to the US? and after converting that will it be cheaper than buying it from the US website?
He sells items on the US side as well, and some of them are that cheap, and adding 3.99USD for shipping it comes out to be $4. The thing that sucks with Amazon is there is no combined shipping. And damn had I known that I would have went ahead and bought most of these cds long ago when they were just a couple bucks from him.
I also remember I had a small issue with buying Olly's CD and mailing it to him in the UK. Even though the seller was in fact in the UK and I was shipping it to the UK, it charged me the price of international shipping. I got most of it credited back to my account, although I still lost like $2 in that transaction.

Zoverstocks = Estocks = Replay = All subsidiaries of ....Music Magpie
Music magpie are a large company over here who buy up people's media (Cds, DVD, Blu-rays) for pennies and sell them on for profit
http://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/
they used to operate out of our channel islands, exploiting a tax-loop hole, but since the government unlooped the tax loophole they've had to move back to mainland UK and prices have risen slightly!
Just a random factoid thingy

Play.com suffered from this as well, it used to be unbelievably cheap years ago, I barely even bother visiting the site anymore.

Interesting. We have sites like that here in the US, EZMediaTrade, AbundaTrade and Wherehouse that buy our crap. I wonder who they resell them under.

When I first opened this topic I thought you were asking "who is best of bonkers"  lol because i'm near sure there used to be a guy on here a few years ago with that user name, who used to post quite regularly but hasn't been around in a few years, thought you were asking about him 
And yes the original best of bonkers case is ;like you said
