Nah. Seriously. I was refreshing the page all mornign and had my order done and the confirmation email received 2 minutes before the tweet even went out and I was #881. If anything I would say 850-1150 are safe.

I can wait -.- take it to PM for god's sake.

The full color fold out poster is where the price difference is. DW releases that have them suffer the same price bump. And later runs that don't have them are cheaper from what I have seen.

It was a $9 bump from the last one. Last 1 was 1xLP but, 9 bucks is too much for 1 extra LP. I think we'll be pleasantly surprised.

You know the thickness of like... children's hardcover books? Specifically Dr. Suess books? the sleeve is that thick. It's ridiculously heavy duty. Edit: this was my pic of the release: But the what sets it apart is sturdiness and you can't see that in this image.

Yikes that's close! As long as I was in the first 25 you are good. I think I was, but, it's hard to know.

What order number at we at and I can tell you

Everyone was disappointed

i don't understand the topic, and I won't respond to it.

lol poor guy on facebook just posted "won't be able to order until end of the week - hope I'm still in the first 300!" Come on bro

friend just placed an order and got #1006 30 seconds ago. I'd say there's 50-100 left of these.

I figure if a var gets listed I'll buy it and cancel my first order. I'll let you know if I hear back on my inquiry but Im sure they are swamped right now

Yep. I got my paypal receipt and order confirmation at 11:30 and the text came in from twitter at 11:32

I was 881. And I had to be one of the first in...

Don't know - I emailed them right after I placed my order with my order # asking the exact same thing. All the stuff they have posted says first 300 are the special var. So, I ordered fast.

the preorder wnet up 2 minutes ago and they haven't announced it yet!! GET ON IT I already placed mine. http://waxworkrecords.com/shop/

I'd definitely be less upset. But I'd still be like, "why you do that Mondo?". It's not like they need the funds up front. They know it will sell out. a 3 month pre-order is some amateur hour nonsense.

Hadn't heard of that either. Interesting.

I agree with that - not a great example. Point I'm trying to make is if I want huge cinematics I will listen to Explosions in the Sky or Mogwai or Mono. Not Zimmer or whomever else. That's probably just me though - I think horror OSTs have a cool aesthetic that's not really captured in other genres.

Be honest, how often do you listen to the Drive soundtrack past side A? I mean, admittedly, I have, but the minimal sub-bass ambient sounds are nice for background pulse on a chill night but you can't really get absorbed listening to side BCD of Drive. Still, of the Mondo I own thus far, 1. Poltergeist 2. Maniac 3. Drive would be my rankings. Regardless, you're right we've got Waxwork and DW as backups for horror stuff. But, I'm more intrigued by how important a score is to a horror movie, and how that plays out as a standalone. I prefer Carpenter or other horror-staple scores to OSTs by guys like Zimmer where it's all dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun BRAAAAAAAHM. But maybe that's just me.

Not all tip-on jackets are that thick though I mean, it'd be a mixed bag. Higher shipping+ initial costs, but better quality packages if they were all that thick. I wouldn't complain, but it would get expensive.

Hmm. Interesting. Not a HUGE fan of the remasters, but I guess that's what I should expect. Does the tracklisting not match that of the mixtapes? That could bother me. edit: I checked and the tracklisting doesn't match. Small qualm but it will annoy me to no end. Might have to hold off.

but horror soundtracks are the best. and oblivion and raid are the weakest so far imo :S That said, I enjoy them all and will buy anything that comes out

haha it's outrageous right?
