batman Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Someone pointed out that there was an active listing on Amazon UK for Takk a while ago so I ordered it on a whim. I had forgotten about it, but just got an email that the delivery date had been updated to July 18th-August 8th. From that I would guess that if its actually going to ship, it'll be happening soon, since they usually estimate about 10 days-2 weeks from the dispatch date. Worth a shot? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002FI1Z3G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They upped the price about 8 GBP too.

ntslash Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm torn on these represses. I have the Frozen Sea box set, so I have the albums on vinyl, but not the artwork. Should I shell out the money? I'd probably be more likely to listen to the individual albums. It's kind of a pain to pull out the box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 holy crap! i want to do this, but it's definitely a gamble. i suppose if it doesn't pan out and there's a problem, a claim can always be opened with paypal, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 holy crap! i want to do this, but it's definitely a gamble. i suppose if it doesn't pan out and there's a problem, a claim can always be opened with paypal, right? ???????? it's amazon. not ebay. ajismetal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Haha whatever, I just ordered it anyways. No way I could miss out on this if it's the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajismetal Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I mean it kind of makes sense they have been repressing a majority of their albums. And is it just pre orders that Amazon doesn't charge until it ships? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questhate Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ahh, I just ordered too. Hopefully this works out for us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I was thinking -- wasn't this "pre-order" scheduled for a July delivery? That's what I believe the listing said when I took a chance on it months ago. Now there's an update, bumping it back to a "possible" August delivery date. Do you think August will roll around, and we'll get another update saying that the records could be delivered by September? I could see an indefinite chain of delay e-mails if this thing never sees fruition. But like everyone else said, there's nothing to lose. And I'd be thrilled if my checking account was suddenly charged for this. I guess we'll wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelso330 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So if you look closely, it has a different ISN number and its says 2 discs instead of 3! So this is most likely a legit repress! I think this will not have the 10" that came with the original! Which I sort of like, keeping the original press, special! (sorry guys, I have an original) I wonder if it will have the super heavy duty jacket! The original weighs probably the weight of 4-5 standard records combined! Its some serious packing! And utterly gorgeous. Probably the best looking vinyl I've seen/owned.... I think with this lower price it will be a lightly different jacket....? As I believe the original was $45-$55 retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markok Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 New album and tour. Plus I doubt the band makes anything from these represses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 "currently unavailable" to order. my order hasn't changed (still says ships in 1-3 weeks), but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgonzo86 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Doesn't look like this is coming. Just had an email from amazon saying they're still trying to obtain it and are waiting for a revised estimate from the supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
