My Hero of Time arrived. Perfect condition and I can't believe the little touches they've put on the sleeve. Looks (and sounds!) so good!

I assume we'll hear from DATA DISCS in the coming days re: Sonic Mania?

I dunno, the game doesn't come out until September, right? DD not the type to do preorders months in advance.
Their site states the preorders for the soundtrack will open mid-july, though.
I wonder if Sonic Mania won't be a limited release and instead they'll take the orders up front and print to demand.
They've already announced that it will be released in the same format as usual (black, colored, and limited variants). I wouldn't be surprised if the run numbers for all of these are higher than usual, though, but they don't disclose those.
For sure. That's definitely a companion cube
Hey guys, I'm doing a giveaway over on my site. I have 6 different copies of the Beep Special Project flexi discs up for grabs to one lucky person: https://blipblop.net/contests/contest-blip-blop-birthday-giveaway/

Those are pretty standard prices for the lp60s. Also really not worth if you are planning to play these expensive video game releases. Their quality varies so much and there's a lot of people who have units that have skipping issues for heavyweight records. These are good for anyone who wants to pick up cheaper records and listen to see if they enjoy records but they just aren't consistent enough for me to recommend if you are going to try to play $35+ albums on.
As an east coaster with a full time job and life outside of comic conventions, I fucking HATE that they do this shit.

will contra hit the mondo store afterwards?
According to the article, it'll be available on their website as well during SDCC. The tri-colour variant is SDCC exclusive, and they don't mention what the website version will look like.
They will sell it online but the tri-color version will only show up if there are leftovers.
We're still getting an online variant as well so I wouldn't fret too much. They did it with Castlevania last year too.
Pretty rad:
See, now those are solid artworks that feel representative of the game (looks at SCIV)...
And watch now that I say this the online variant will be a lot worse.

Me too. I know it's a way to show love to people that are at the con and give them money, and we'll be able to pick one up on the site, but still.
That record looks pretty darn good.

normal version will probably just be black, which is fine.
and Contra 3 already had rad artwork,
i dunno who is responsible for the Castlevania artworks being just weird

Castlevania IV came in today from Mondo. I guess only the splatter version went out. That would explain why no one I know who ordered the split has even received a shipping notification yet.

I absolutely agree. and New York Comicon is barely a shadow of this show, especially with stuff like this.
edit: having to ask friends online if they can find that Castlevania III poster for me is pretty annoying. I find exclusivity and small runs really annoying outside of the reality of actually having to finance a poster or record over and over. Making it Good Because its Rare, though, is very bothersome.

Strafe shipped from Laced today. Check your email.
I know, I spent the money to get the SDCC Castlevania. Doesn't mean I don't want this version too. I just think it's a feel-bad business practice.
Got a shipping and tracking email from DHL and BigWax. Ninja Gaiden box set en route!
Speaking of DHL, I have a question for those that have more experience with them (as a resident of the US I typically don't get a lot of DHL deliveries).
Are they considered bad/good/decent? I've gotten about three packages through them in the past year, and while I haven't ultimately had any packages go missing, I have had to correct my address with them each of those three times. They seem to be unable to get the street number or unit number of my place correct. I thought it was me making the mistake, but I've double-checked my orders with the original companies and I've entered my information correctly all previous times.

Regional offices are probably very different in quality, but my experience with them have generally been very good. They're pretty reliable and typically lets me choose if they should deliver it to my place or at a nearby package station where I can pick it up when it fits my schedule.
DHL in Canada is the worst, and I always seem to get them with Mondo releases. They take forever, they never deliver to the door (Always a nearby post office), and there's always a flat $10 charge. They say they charge it for Taxes/Duty, however I've confirmed that I've never been hit with tax/duty on a shipment from Mondo.

I wonder when Laced is going to ship the Hotline Miami repress.
Their site says Q3, so in theory anywhere between now and September. STRAFE said Q3 as well, but just started shipping yesterday.

I hadn't started buying vinyls until Out Run last year and regretted missing out on Super Hang-On, which got to be a bit expensive recently. Someone I hadn't really spoken to in YEARS contacted me like a week after I mentioned this on twitter and showed me a record store in Philly he was in just had one for 25 dollars. I ended up driving there from central Jersey just to get it! It was fun to drive somewhere a fair distance to find what seems to be the singular available copy of a record in the entire area!

Got my copy of Super Castlevania IV in today. As someone who wasn't particularly excited for (but not completely against either) the artwork I think it actually came out looking okay. It's got a cartoon feel almost like it would be adult swim's Castlevania.
I'm jealous, that's the sole Data Discs release that's missing from my collection.
More Pokémon vinyl from Materia Collective/iam8bit - the "Piano Collections: Pokémon Red & Blue" album can be backed on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...okemon-red-and-blue-studio-albu/posts/1937149
It sounds like this will only be available via this Kickstarter, but I'm not completely sure.

$75 level? Yeesh...
Ya know, they've already fully funded the album and then some, but they're still charging a massive premium for the vinyl. Suddenly their relationship with iam8bit makes total sense.

not game-related (unless you imported the Famicom or PS2 pinball game, lol) but anime fans might be interested

Just as well iam8bit is essentially Kickstarter anyway. Delays included.

Cool. Really looking forward to this one. Everything I've heard so far makes it frontrunner for VGM OST of the year for me (sorry, Nier).
I really have no interest in this at all, but those numbered releases...
