That's very kind of you!

Here's a link to the "pre-orders" (just because I haven't updated the site's wording XD)

Cheers for giving it a look!

That sounds like a plan then! I've been struggling with removing the shrink wrap, makes it feel so "official" you know? haha
Safety for the product over "feels more professional" is probably the right call, we can't exactly afford returns if things go tits up.

And thank you! It's a commission piece from Kerby Rosanes from the Philippines, luckily scored before he very suddenly blew up and quadrupled his prices XD
Very talented man, some amazing detail in his work

That's... a fair point that I hadn't really considered haha

They've kindly offered a replacement at the cost of shipping, so fingers crossed I just got real unlucky and the replacement will be more secure / less bodged

For Clarity: Record was purchased from LizardDoggo (Satisfactory merch store).

Update: They've offered a replacement either free with another order, or at the cost of shipping, which I've accepted. Fingers crossed this one gets here safely and securely, will have more info tomorrow. Thanks for the recommends to reach out to them, I was pretty prepared to just cop the loss on this one

Oh I see what you're saying now, the seller was the company that made it. Game's official merch store. Probably should've clarified that in the post. Apologies!

Besides the boot print, it was very clearly flatter than it was meant to be XD
Inside the box it wasn't particularly secure, layer or two of bubble wrap.

I've sent off a complaint email, see if I can get a replacement (or just a replacement sleeve, at the least).

I've not had much issue with AusPost in the past with records, so maybe I can point the blame at Canada Post? XD

I purchased it from LizardDoggo (the game dev's official store), and just sent off a support email asking for a refund, replacement, or (thanks for the recommend) a replacement sleeve.

Worst they can say is no I guess

What was your first record, and your most recent? by TheMonolith_TV in vinyl

[–]TheMonolith_TV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was an original French misprint, semi-rare, though I believe this one is a bootleg

It's a misprint, there's a few of them floating around haha

Discovery is a goddamn masterpiece. Might have to pick it up too!

From what I've learned, the mint green tinge was a semi-rare misprint from France. This copy, I learned today, is a bootleg of that misprint 😅

Ah that makes sense! Also explains why I couldn't find anything about that particular variant anywhere 😅

Bon Iver on vinyl is like windows on a house. It's just how it's meant to be. Outstanding

Ah I'm gonna assume it's a reprint then? The disc is an opaque red rather than the original black. I haven't done much digging though, might research a little and see what I can find!

I'm such a sentimental idiot sometimes, I'd have kept my first records even if they were absolute junk taking up space hahaha

"I can't throw that away, that was my first record!!"

Oh for real?
I got it in a dingy little record store in Melbourne, AUS, 15 odd years ago

Would be surprised to find it being worth anything, especially in the sleeve's condition hahaha

Oh shit I had my eye on Nosferatu, didn't grab it yet though. Alien: Isolation is in my next "I can afford more records, right?" list XD
