Hmm, details? I have The Fountain and have listened to it a few times.

Audiophile wankery incoming:

I buy around twenty to twenty five albums a year. Mondo's first gold pressing (to me and many others) was just too quiet and ill mixed to recommend, especially at four times what you'd pay for a CD you could have bought since the film's release. People say they fixed the volume for later presses but uh I didn't invest in future Fountain records and had to unload my copy rather than enjoy it for years to come. All that money after years of being out of print and it doesn't sound good? A nice package and OBI strip doth not make double price for me.

Anyways- their quality control is usually superb but I'm not in the mood to gamble with my record moneyz when there's decades of great releases to choose from!

 

[Chinner]

Don't worry fam! Since it's Mondo and video game related you know at least five copies will be showing up with a scalper's fee on discogs and ebay each. Fuckers loooooove to pimp that Mondo price markup from willing fans.

Woop.

I guess I'll get the normal black records if they ever appear.

 

[Noisepurge]

isn't there an $85 non-limited edition?

still expensive af

they were so good with the SK pricing

what? 40€ for a 2LP is just as expensive

Yeah it's a shame they really messed up with such an awesome soundtrack as their mastering is usually spot on

That link's for Shovel Knight, no? I don't see NG at all yet.

 

[Noisepurge]

yes, as we were talking how shovel knight was "cheap" but box sets are "expensive" when in fact they are priced exactly the same when you consider doubling the price for a 4LP instead of a 2LP

30 minute-ish until NG sets are available...

[RaidenZR]

Snagged a Limited Edition Box Set of Ninja Gaiden for myself.

Phew, I can have a stress free morning, now!

 

[Dan-o]

Signed copy ordered!

My poor wallet

 

[OnPoint]

Did it really sell out while my Paypal was processing? Come the fuck on

 

[OSHAN]

Sold the fuck out while processing through paypal payment options. Goddamn.

 

[metsallica]

Signed copy ordered!

My poor wallet

Yeah... $136 shipped!

 

[Ghettoblaster]

I gots mine (signed). 150 euros and not even including customs fee... ouch....

 

[Uncle Moe]

Got my signed copy. Blanched on seeing the S&H though.

 

[Chindogg]

It was in my cart and now it's sold out? What the fuck Brave Wave?

 

[OnPoint]

If it's in your cart and you're choosing shipping options it should really be reserved at that point.

What a bunch of crap.

 

[robot]

I got a regular box set through Big Wax - $104 shipped OUCH

 

[socksfelloff]

Their site is dead for me. Guess I'll try and get a reprint.


Edit: ended up getting the box set! $150cad...im dumb

 

[Uncle Moe]

What a bunch of crap.

Yeah, I agree. Same thing happened to me when trying to buy the signed SFII box.

 

[Noisepurge]

how? all links give 404?

 

[Lettuce]

Cant even access the site!

 

[RapidCancel]

Can't even get bigwax to load so I can pick up a regular copy.

A lot of stores don't reserve it for you until payment goes through, it's the same way with a lot of releases, like shoes and whatnot. Just having it in your cart doesn't mean you've secured one.

 

[rpbtz]

It was in my cart and now it's sold out? What the fuck Brave Wave?

Not really Brave Wave's fault. They have no control over how Bandcamp handles orders.

 

[robot]

how? all links give 404?

They were up very briefly when rpbtz posted the URLs

 

[Uncle Moe]

Yeah... $136 shipped!

And here comes the buyer's remorse!

 

[Lettuce]

Well this is a supreme cluster fuck

 

[rpbtz]

They were up very briefly when rpbtz posted the URLs

Yeah, I checked all of them before posting. Big Wax is probably getting a ton of traffic right now. I think it went down when the SFII repress went up too.

 

[OnPoint]

Not really Brave Wave's fault. They have no control over how Bandcamp handles orders.

To be fair I'm not really mad at Brave Wave. I'm mad at whoever designed this stupid system.

 

[Noisepurge]

Remember not to buy them from flippers on Ebay and Discogs, atleast regular editions. Brave Wave has said that they will repress their records as long as there is demand.

 

[Dan-o]

A lot of stores don't reserve it for you until payment goes through, it's the same way with a lot of releases, like shoes and whatnot. Just having it in your cart doesn't mean you've secured one.

Yeah, it's a multi-step process, but that's the final one to ensure they don't accidentally oversell. I much prefer the Ticketmaster method where you have a few minutes from "in cart" to "sold" where it's still secured, but I haven't seen any of these sites run that way yet.

 

[Chindogg]

It's their fault for going through Bandcamp on the LE only. Now I can't even get into the regular store to get the regular boxed set.

I scheduled my day around this release and it's frustrating that simple storefronts can't handle an enthusiast's amount of traffic.

 

[rpbtz]

Btw. in regards to the pricing. On BigWax the 2LPs both showed up as €38.40 (like Shovel Knight) and the box set was €96. Jarosh - does BigWax add tax on top of the price? Because to me it seems that the €32 and €85 are incorrect.

Same. What sucks is I didn't delay. I was on my computer at 10:30 trying to buy it and by 10:32 it was gone and the other links had crashed.

 

[somato]

Sold the fuck out while processing through paypal payment options. Goddamn.

Yeah I had the same thing. Waiting on paypal to process my payment... SORRY SOLD OUT. /rage.

 

[RapidCancel]

I'm going to assume the regular box set is sold out now too since the site won't work anymore. I guess I'll just have to wait for the repress.

Yeah I never even got in to get the regular edition. Oh well. I'll wait for a repress.\

E: It actually loaded after I posted this. Gonna pass on the box. The two editions regularly came out to 20 euros less.

 

[Lettuce]

Yeah all i wanted was the regular edition!,, this seemed to sell out quicker than SF2!!!

 

[OnPoint]

Site just went back up for me and I got my order through.

Sucks because I should have had the LE, but at least I got this one.

 

[sixteen-bit]

the NG thirst was real

 

[Chindogg]

Ok store came back up and I got the unsigned box set.

 

[Azubah]

Missed out because I thought they wanted me to add shipping to the price, only when I got to the check out did I see they added shipping already. When I went back to the cart to change the price it was gone.

Is this a bandcamp thing? Letting you enter the price for something that already has a set price? That's either an oversight or scummy.

 

[RaidenZR]

Even though I had success ordering the LE Ninja Gaiden, I despise Bandcamp's storefront for merch of this nature. It's not designed for what people are doing with it. And yeah, it needs checkout reserving when you're a few steps into locking the sale in. My paypal was lagging while processing, and I got super worried.

Really sorry for those that didn't get it due to technical issues. I'd probably be raging.
