EHughes527 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 From the questions section: :'-( What if I just want to buy the soundtrack? Per our agreement with the music company, Flying Dog, we can only sell this soundtrack vinyl bundled with the collector's edition. A vinyl only set will not be available.

Multiverse Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Such a crazy bummer, easily one of my all time favorite series and OSTs but I just can't swing it with how expensive this year has been We don't even know how this thing will sound for $250, it could be a shit pressing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord knows if it will be any good and for that price fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I know its been all of a day, but I don't foresee this surging in preorder sales to get to the minimum. Maybe I'm wrong but I have a strong feeling that that price point is keeping a lot of people away and this won't even happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPantz Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The numbers are up for the Bebop pre-preorder: $550: 70/1000, $350.00: 44/1000, $250.00: 169/1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 They're morons. If they needed to bundle this, they should have gone with tiers like $75/$150/$225. Surely enough people would have jumped at the low (and probably middle) options. They've priced themselves out of this thing being feasible.

From tier 1 to tier 2, just a better box it seems? With metal clasps? For only $100 more! And then the mega bundle has... an even bigger box, bookends (so dumb) and... I don't know. Somebody thought this was a good idea. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the “top tier” should be the one that’s $250, then $150, and then $75. And even that’s being super generous. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get both the blu-ray and movie for $50 at Best Buy right now, but retail on the series is $60 and retail on the movie is $18... So that's $78 right there Steelbook packaging add $32? Record $50? Art Book $50? Lithographs $40? It's dumb. Edit: Also TAX, but free shipping? Still dumb. Edited May 2, 2018 by batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not owning any Bebop stuff on blu-ray I can almost justify springing for it. Almost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 How the conversation went at Funimation: "Hey Ted these fuckers seem to want Cowboy Bebop on vinyl so I came up with some mock ideas. I don't really feel like doing it anymore though can you take over production?" "Nah I'm gonna go grab a 24 pack of Natty Ice you want any?" "Hell yeah brother! Hold on I'll just multiply the Bebop prices by 3 so we won't have to do anything." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The pricing tiers are about $230 / $330 / $530 more than I would pay for a vinyl copy of the soundtrack before shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know who either of these companies are though, so I could be wrong. docbronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when the series first got it’s blu-ray release a few years ago, I preordered the “special edition Amazon exclusive” box set and paid about $78 for that. And it didn’t even include the movie. Had to buy that on its own. So I don’t need any of the extra stuff at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackshidt Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Lord Of The Rings - Fellowship Complete 5-LP box offered for $126.09 from Amazon Warehouse in 'Very Good' condition: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B079PDFGZK/ref=tmm_vnl_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=1525541482&sr=1-18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I know some people were talking about their LOTR: Fellowship boxset having some noise, popping, etc. I just got done listening to mine and I think I heard maybe 3 pops/crackles/whatever throughout the whole thing, besides that it was immaculate. Dynamite release, I really hope they do a release on black for everyone that wanted it but didn't get it... also I hope we don't have to wait another 15 years for Two Towers and Return.
