Jumping on the "if anyone has an extra code message me" train. 

I get paid every other week and unfortunately can't preorder until this coming Friday because I don't have enough money in my account.

Got mine in on Monday. The bone with black looks awesome! Not huge on the black with bone. Also have the tour exclusive coming in.

Anyone else having sound issues with this release? I have the Electric Blue / Doublemint variant. Has one of the worst sound qualities of any album that I own on vinyl.

Travis, any info on the Mayday Parade "Black Lines" pressing? Really want to know the variant. Thanks!

No they probably will. Hopeless streams every album, so either today or tomorrow.....

I haven't gotten a confirmation from MerchNow that my order is going to ship. I ordered this thing right at midnight, so no clue how I'm so far down the list....

Got mine right at midnight too. Never received a shipping email. Just showed up in my mailbox yesterday randomly. It might just show up in the near future like mine did.

Got my vinyl in yesterday. Splatter is cool, but both discs look completely different. It's kind of cool. D-Side Etching is really hard to see. Posted pictures on my Twitter.

Travis - I hate to be that guy, but any chance you have a store list for Mayday Parade - A Lesson in Romantics? Pressed a year or so ago. It's the last record I need for my Mayday variant collection and I'm going crazy trying to find it. Thanks!

Have you gotten a response?

Yes! I'm getting the bone /500 which makes variant collecting this album SO much easier for me haha. They said it was their fault it got mixed up, but I ordered what I ordered so my order won't change.

Also a heads up - ShopRadioCast put up a preorder for this album. Any info on the retail variant? Guessing it'll be standard black.

Just a heads up - Merchnow switched the two variants. The Bone with Black Splatter is now /500 and available with the deluxe packages, while the black with bone splatter is now /1,000 and available by itself. 

I ordered the bone with black splatter earlier today by itself before it was switched. I emailed Merchnow to get clarification on which I'll be getting.

Travis, not that it makes much of a difference one way or the other, but I'm genuinely curious about the state of affairs in my local Hot Topic (Milford, CT).

They used to have lot's of vinyl. Crates and crates, then shelves, then this rinky-dink shelf. From probably hundreds of LPs to 10s of LPs. Does this happen when they have poor vinyl sales over time or just based on what the managers of that store want? I know this is specific to my store and has no real bearing on what you do, but it's troublesome. I used to find some good clearance deals AND new releases (as recent as 6 months ago), now they have diddly.

Same issue at the HT at Westfarms (West Hartford / Farmington, CT). I asked the manager and he mentioned that since Urban Outfitters started carrying a ton of vinyl (which is right across the hall from HT), they noticed a significant decline in vinyl sales, which resulted in their supply getting cut. Haven't been to the Milford Mall in a bit, but if there's any other stores in there selling vinyl, it could be a similar scenario.
