Get ready to laugh....

Bought at the San Diego Navy base post exchange...

^^^ really? I ordered two different colors. Got mine yesterday and one had a  13/4" seam split at the top and the other had a 2 1/2" seam split at the top. The top left corners of both were crunched as well. I swear that U-Line has the thinnest cardboard ever.

Yeah, I was surprised as well.

this guy ended his auction after I sent him a note asking why he was deliberately misleading people into thinking it was the RSD version. He ended the auction within 5 minutes. LOL.

Did the remaining walking dead green go up and I missed it?

If so, 2 hours wasted the first time, being ready today and then wasting another hour from 12-1pm central only to miss it later this afternoon when you guys finally do go live really chaps my hide.

If the remaining green did not go up, disregard the previous statement.

*edit - I also think their transparency as a label is refreshing.

I am not about to waste another 2 hours for no reason. What can Spacelab9 do for their customers? How about let us BE customers...

 

jezmundtoo- We certainly are not going to make light of the time you invested out of your day to try and obtain one of our releases, but outside of offering a sincere apology and doing so publicly realistically what else is there can we do? The time you lost and the whole mishap was unfortunate, no doubt. Would we rather that your order went through flawlessly and that you'd be days away from holding a sweet record in your hands? Would have my partner and rather have the pre-sale go off without a hitch and spend last night with our families and not glued to our computers til 2:30 in the morning? Absolutely on all fronts! We have been out publicly trying to make good on this situation and taking responsibility as opposed to hiding behind closed doors. Outside of doing that and expressing sincere apologies, and taking the remaining limited editions off the site until the pending issues are rectified I am at a loss as to what you expect of us.

Okay. Now I feel bad. Sorry for complaining so much. I just really really wanted that record. I can't imagine tht nightmare involved with getting something like this off the ground and out the door, so I appreciate your candor. I look forward to that future announcement. I can't wait to hold and hear the record.  Thanks for the personal reply. No hard feelings.

No, I am pretty sure they have you covered.

 

From their Facebook:

 

Spacelab9 We have taken the remaining green vinyl copies down until we can get the server situation fixed. If you unsuccessfully attempted to place an order for one today, all is not lost! We appreciate your patience and apologize for our woefully inadequate server. In the process of upgrading right now, will be back with an update!

 

And in previous post he said they are only a two man operation.  Quit your crying already.

 

 

Yeah that has me covered, ASSuming I am around when they decide to put those few remaining copies up for purchase.

Hey Spacelab9, does it matter to you that some of us had these in carts for near 2 HOURS and by the time the order was going through, they had been pulled? What are we supposed to do? Your apology didn't seem to cover those of us who spent a LOT of time TRYING to give you money. SOL? Just curious more than anything.

Thanks for nothing, jackasses. Wasted 2 hours that I'm never going to get back. Jumped through about 3000 hoops and got nada. FU, Spacelab9. Go test your shit some more.

You are not alone.

It says it on the Afghan Whigs site as well as the Afghan Whigs mail list.

 

It seems the Sub Pop's preorders have been slow about getting the information out lately. When the Chad VanGaalen preorder went up recently, there was no info other than a buy link. Same thing here.

 

When I ordered, I received a confirmation email that my shipment would go out by January 28th, 2014. Good luck with that!

thanks

Preorder is up now on Subpop. Loser edition!

New single up today as well.

Maybe I'm missing something, but where does it say it is a loser edition?

They did both, they posted a pic on facebook about a week ago

I see that now. Weird that they would do clear and crystal clear, but whatever.

There is also a crystal clear, the other clear isn't actually clear it looks frosted

Maybe it's just me, but I doubt they would have Frosted Clear AND Crystal Clear. Pretty sure it's just one clear (the frosted looking one).

Looks to be SOLD OUT now. 

what is weird is that at LITA, MS 45, Forbidden World and Manic are all "Frosted Clear", when if you look at Death Waltz, they have Ms.45 as a B/W Split and Forbidden World as Blue/White/Black. Is that normal?

Thanks for the heads-up.

I just got one. Must have been the last one because now it says out of stock.

I'm 'S' and just got shipping confirmation yesterday. My buddy is 'M' and got his last week sometime.

#2238 @ 11:01 CST, so I guess I'm outta luck? Who knows? How will we find out? When we receive them?

tomorrow morning

*edit - d'oh! beat me.

All i was saying is that I ordered the purple one and it hasn't shipped yet. That was only to help assuage people's fears that those who ordered purple were not going to suddenly get the black n' poop variant. Also, d-v doesn't seem too hard and fast about their release dates. More than once I've had things ship from them well before the release date. So, in conclusion... 

I ordered the purple one and I do not show it as shipped yet, FWIW.
