I have a deep and mighty need...

Do we know if they'll ship overseas? How limited are the quantities?

[chrono01]

I don't need it.
I don't need it.
I DON'T NEED IT.

Spoiler

I need it.

 

[Yohane]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU

(I wish the art was Yoshida's tho)

 

[taco543]

Oh my fucking god, please tell me it's coming state side...

 

[1upsuper]

$35 for a vinyl is highway robbery. But I'm a stupid idiot who will probably buy it anyway.

Oh my fucking god, please tell me it's coming state side...

It doesn't matter. It's vinyl.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

I've yet to play Automata, but I'm gonna be all over both of these given how good the original's OST is

 

[BRSxIgnition]

(I wish the art was Yoshida's tho)

I can't help but feel like this art looks just as nice if not better, especially if they're being purchased together as a set and being displayed.

 

[orochi91]

Goddamn.

Agreed~~~

 

[Wireframe]

Immediately happy I'm heading back to Japan soon.

Ishida's art is perfect for soundtrack cover.

Immediately happy I'm heading back to Japan soon.

 

[iavi]

Dudes an amazing artist.

I need these badly

 

[Astrael]

Well, dang, count me in. If they don't ship it overseas guess it's time to call in a favor from my friend in Yokohama.

 

[DKHF]

There will also be a box set with both game's vinyls for 7,200 yen.

 

[Verder]

fuck yea i love me some nier and tokyo ghoul .

im on thisssssssss

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Yeah - this is what I'll be gunning for.

It's too perfect not to...

How limited are things like this from Square Enix JP usually? Any expectation it'll come westward?

 

[DKHF]

It says these are limited releases so maybe not that many, but I'm not sure how much they're talking. Not sure if it'll come westward, maybe?

 

[Soar]

Wow, heading there in a couple of months. Hopefully still able to pre-order.

Never have my consumer genes been so fiercely triggered.

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Wonder if it'll feature Brother Nier on the other side or if they're marketing it as Gestalt+Replicant keeping it territory neutral and just feature Yonah or someone else like Emil.

 

[silva1991]

I want this.

 

[ajim]

I love you nier automata

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Just ~$60 for the double disc?

Yes, I fucking will.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

$35 for a vinyl is highway robbery. But I'm a stupid idiot who will probably buy it anyway.

It's a 2XLP released in Japan, maybe I'm ignorant to the current market but that over there doesn't seem that bad.

 

[Quintin DM]

I neeeeed this.

Bring it over Square

 

[BRSxIgnition]

I just realized...

If this is being sold by the Square Enix store, it'll either be JP only, or US based with massive shipping costs...

 

[mocolostrocolos]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYY

I will have to ask a friend living in Japan to buy this for me.

 

[Armaly]

I want it but I don't need it.

 

[Aldric]

Oh so that's why l saw a bunch of fanarts of Kaneki and Touka wearing 9S and 2B clothes. l didn't get the connection but if lshida is a Nier fan it makes sense. This looks fantastic.

 

[Falchion]

The cover art alone makes me want to get it.

 

[Iokis]

I dread to think what the cost of importing this to EU would be

Spoiler

but I'm probably gonna go for it anyway

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I just realized...

If this is being sold by the Square Enix store, it'll either be JP only, or US based with massive shipping costs...

and I will pay it. I don't give a single fuck.

 

[Resonance]

Ishida's artwork looks great for the cover. That reminds me, he made Kaine fanart a couple years ago

 

[Hektor]

Most Nier merchandise is JPN only

You seem to have some experience, how would you usually import something like this?

 

[Danjin44]

You seem to have some experience, how would you usually import something like this?

I also like to know. Do u think something like this would be available in amazon.ca as import item?

 

[DVCY201]

I will find high resolution versions of the covers and make posters lol

I don't have a record player, so y'know

 

[Soar]

I got most of the nier stuff through yahoo auctions jp and used their proxy service (buyee). Pretty cheap and painless. Also works for amazon.jp stuff.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

get it anyway. at worst, it's a cool piece of art or conversation piece.

plus, you can always buy a record player if you want one. you can't always get something like this. not for a fair price, anyway.

 

[Antiwhippy]

You seem to have some experience, how would you usually import something like this?

amazon.jp you can just buy direct with an english site.

Dunno if this will be in there though.

 

[Aizo]

Yeah... that's gonna be mine. My turntable is ready.

This is true. Hopefully not a Square Enix JP exclusive, and amazon JP will have a listing or CD Japan

that's more like it.

For orders from the Japanese SE store i usually use whiterabbitexpress (alternatively Tenso). Their service fee is somewhat expansive, but they are generally quick and reliable.

You just tell them what to buy/preorder with a link to the store page, pay them and they'll do the rest for you.

With shipping, service fee and customs it can be pretty expensive depending on where you live unfortunately, but its the most comfortable and reliable way.

The biggest issue is that you are seriously gonna regret it if the items suddenly do happen to become available westwards lol.

Like I already said, most merchandise is exclusive to Japan, but there can be exceptions (like the normal OST) so it's kinda a gamble.

 

[Soar]

Actually a worry just crept up, would the LPs be a bit fragile for overseas post? Don't want to imagine the delivery crew to treat them like frisbees. I use Tenso a lot (called Buyee now).

 

[DantesLink]

(I don't need it intensifies)

 

[T-Rex.]

That's close to my birthday, I guess I'll treat myself.

From my experience the packages will definitely take some hits but they are stuffed well enough to prevent damage.
