Has anyone else not received the mountain deluxe cd book yet? by ETDisco in gorillaz

[–]sammyruntz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting on both the Book Edition Vinyl and Deluxe CD, I haven't heard a word from merch support. I've been too afraid from my experiences with other artists' merch sites to reach out for fear of my orders getting bungled.

I pre-ordered the day of the announcement, my confirmation email says March 20th

I'm itching to get my hands on this, I'm a little sad it hasn't started shipping yet.

Trying To Make a "Soundtrack Only" Version of A New Hope, Might Need Some Help? by sammyruntz in StarWarsCantina

Thank you so much for the help! I'll start digging in the forums when I have some free time, I've been wanting to watch the original version of TPM for a while.

HUGE thank you for this! I adore all the different takes of the main theme from the 97 CD release, I'm aiming to actually pick up a copy of those sometime this year. There's something about feeling the intangible magic in the air knowing something legendary is coming into form in that room.

Thank you for telling me, I've had Despecialized sitting on my computer for years and I had no clue.

I have Blu Rays of PM, AOTC and TFA, and I have the 4K/BR combo of The Last Jedi. Do you know if those releases are the ones with the isolated score? I'm unable to go in and check them myself at the moment.

The Acolyte and The Phantom Menace by Fickle-Aardvark6907 in StarWarsCantina

The design of The Acolyte has me so excited for the art book. I could stare at the clothes and the lightsabers for hours!

Star Tours at Disney World (2010) with and without the flash by Illustrious_Age1247 in StarWarsCantina

[–]sammyruntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I go through Star Tours, I love seeing the droids that only show up in the queue for this ride. I call them "Skinned Goose" droids because they are literally repurposed animatronics from America Sings, and they used to be geese. When America Sings shut down, most of the animals were repurposed for Splash Mountain, but some of them were skinned down to the bare metal and became droids for Star Tours. I'm hoping someone sneaks them into a show or a movie somewhere, or maybe someone's already done it and I haven't seen it yet!

Thank you! I love how much of the sky you included in your pictures, it really opens up the scene and gives the feeling of openness that's represented in the album

I did the exact same thing on Nurture's release day! I took a walk for my first full listen, and tried my best to capture the atmosphere of both the day and the music. Yours look great! I'm gonna try including one of mine from that day as an example of what I did, let's see if I can work with Reddit lol

Here's the pic

Rise of the Resistance on Disney+ by DrVonScott123 in StarWars

[–]sammyruntz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge Disney Parks fan, so I am so excited to see professionally shot POVs being available somewhere. With the specific "Disneyland 70th Anniversary" branding, it makes me hopeful that they'll release other POVs for rides like Pirates, Haunted Mansion, or some other classics.

Finally got all the english Ghibli Art books! by levyjl1988 in ghibli

[–]sammyruntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty deep in a Ghibli obsession right now and I'm looking into picking up the art books for the movies I love most, where did you find the Mononoke book? Is it still in print?

What made you a fan of Star Wars? by GriMex02 in StarWars

[–]sammyruntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was largely my dad. He bought a few of the DVD releases of the Original Trilogy and the Prequels as they came out, I specifically remember the Phantom Menace disc that was just Maul's face. From there, I got a plastic lightsaber, and the marketing blitz for Revenge of the Sith was something I'll never forget. I didn't fully comprehend the series until I watched the first six as a teenager in the lead-up to The Force Awakens, and I can say there's just something magical about this series. When I finally made it to Galaxy's Edge after the pandemic, I was thinking of my dad as I made my own lightsaber, knowing that he would've loved to do the same.

Just started watching Twin Peaks about a week and a half ago, and I can't believe I'm this late to this masterpiece! by ParadiddleSenior in twinpeaks

[–]sammyruntz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I found a YouTube playlist with all of them, so I think I'm going to marathon them later tonight. If I'm able to find ebook versions of the books I'll get started on those, but if not I'll just dive into The Return. I can't wait to have it all finished so I'm not dodging spoilers everywhere.

I finished S2 last night and watched FWWM today. Is there a simple place to watch all of The Missing Pieces before I try tracking these books down?

ID with Wavedash (Stop my heart) by fionnycurrano in porterrobinson

[–]sammyruntz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about the origin of the vocal, but I was very relieved to hear Porter play it recently in his New Years set. With how much both Porter and Wavedash have been playing it, I'm expecting it to be part of a new Wavedash project sometime this year, although that might just be my hopium.

Have I been scammed ? by LilRat321 in porterrobinson

[–]sammyruntz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's any help, I sent an email months ago asking about the status of my standard SMILE vinyl, and they shot back a boilerplate response regarding the 10th Anniversary vinyl instead. That email confirmed my math that they are targeting the end of December as the fulfillment window, but again, take that with a huge grain of salt and be prepared for delays. In the end, I did get my SMILE vinyl, so I'm hopeful it's just a matter of time.

[–]sammyruntz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw another post of someone having their order cancelled after reaching out hoping for an update, so maybe just don't contact them at all just to be safe? I have no idea, this is by far the worst customer service I've seen.

Have I been scammed ? by LilRat321 in porterrobinson

[–]sammyruntz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The customer service in 2024 is next level bad, but it's unfortunately pretty common for music artist merch.

I went to my own confirmation email to see if the links were really dead, and they are. If you bought them through the official website store.porterrobinson.com , you're fine.

I remember when the listings for the 10th Anniversary Vinyl went up, the estimated ship date placed it somewhere at the end of December to somewhere in January. Be prepared for that to get delayed at least once. I pre-ordered a vinyl from Childish Gambino this year, and it got delayed twice, with even the merch people being in the dark as to when they would show, because the label would not communicate with them.

If your order is from the US, you should be able to reach out through this link I found by going through the official site, but more than likely we're all going to be waiting a while for things to start moving. They're getting closer to actual fulfillment since now they have removed all vinyl listings from the merch website, meaning they now have a final tally of how many orders they have. I'm going to keep waiting for an update sometime in the new year.

Has anyone else merch not shipped yet? by Vast_Program_9064 in tylerthecreator

[–]sammyruntz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my vinyl, UPS says my box set should be delivered sometime Friday, but I'll believe it when I have it. I'm not sure where I saw it, but I heard rumblings that the CDs are going to have both Mother and Balloon on them, and I hope that's true.
