Here’s what bad news looks like (not mine, stolen from a Facebook group post):

FDR said their site would be able to handle the traffic, no problem, when asked about it earlier this week on their livestream. 💩

Someone on the Reddit thread said they oversold yellow and got a cancellation email...

And then there were five. All that's left is the tour variant. According to Hopeless' Instagram account, it's Half Clear/Half Grey w/ Splatter.

Anybody on here have the inside scoop on the variants/limited to #'s for this record? So far, this is what I've been able to find.
Transparent Cloudy Clear w/ Opaque Grey, Black, Cream Heavy Splatter /300 (Preorder) Opaque Grey w/ Cloudy Clear, Black, Cream Heavy Splatter /700 (Preorder) Opaque Grey /? (Retail/MerchNow) Opaque Grey in Black /? (FYE Exclusive) Opaque Grey in Clear /300 (Banquet Exclusive) Half Opaque Grey/Half Cloudy Clear w/ Splatter /? (Tour Exclusive) According to whoever runs Hopeless' Twitter account, they claim that there's going to be a tour variant and that Banquet Records has an exclusive as well, as you can see here:

 
But when I looked further, it looks like Banquet Records simply has the Grey variant from looking at their Instagram, as you can see here:
 

 
Going to wait it out until I get my preorders from MerchNow to see if there's anything remotely different or if they're one in the same, but figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone on here could shed any light. I'll also note that ShopRadioCast has their copies listed as "Grey Clear," so that's what led me to believe that there might be two different Grey variants. And another note, Travis replied to one of my posts in the Hot Topic thread a couple weeks ago saying that they're only getting the regular Grey retail, no exclusive. And Hopeless' tweet to me obviously confirms that, haha.
 
I variant collect Yellowcard and will have everything once this release is out and I figure out the variants.
 
UPDATE (9/28/2016): I guess Banquet was just holding off a day until they officially announced their exclusive variant. It's Grey in Clear, as you can see below. Was surprised that the price is super great, even when shipping to the states. After conversion it only came to $30.60, with shipping. Unfortunately, I still haven't had any luck finding out what any of the variants are limited too aside from the two preorder splatter one's.
 

 
UPDATE 2: There's a tweet that Banquet posted earlier that says the Grey in Clear exclusive variant is limited to /300.

UPDATE (10/1/2016): Went to FYE yesterday to pick up their exclusive variant. FYE's website has the variant listed as "Opaque Grey & Black " and the mock up on the website showed Grey with Black smash, essentially. I opened it up, and they had it reversed. The sticker on the shrink wrap said "Grey in Black." Came out super nice in my opinion. I'll try to post a picture when I can.
UPDATE (10/7/2016): According to Hopeless' Instagram account, the tour exclusive variant is Half Grey/Half Clear w/ Splatter.

A black copy of Illusion of safety is far from new or exclusive. Bitch, don't kill my vibe.

Ya, they sent out an email this morning talking about how if you pick a certain vibe it includes 3 Hopeless exclusives which are a yellow highlighter Neck Deep LNOTGY, Orange Yellowcard Southern Air, and Black Thrice IOS

I spoke to someone about not receiving a confirmation email.  Said the order was under My Orders and was charged and they said: 
 
"Yes, we have your order here. We had an influx of purchases at 1pm. You should receive a confirmation email shortly. Thanks!"
 
Not to beat a dead horse, just wanted to let others who also got errors / didn't get a confirmation know.

Same exact thing happened to me, man. Transaction's on PayPal, the order is in my SRC account, but I got the red bar across the top/error message while attempting to check-out post PayPal log-in. I'm assuming it's just because of heavy traffic from the the pre-order? I don't know. Regardless, it says our orders are processing, so I'd like to assume we're good. Let's hope.

same here, checked my paypal, there was a authorisation and the order is in my order history!

Some nice SQL error over here too !!
 

I think I grabbed a copy... but got an error with  big red box and a ton of text?  Checked my bank account and they took the money already and it's under my orders as processing so maybe I'm good.  Has that ever happened to anyone else?  I wish I would have grabbed a screenshot of the error.  Oh, well.

BTW the last time I think I listened to this entire album all the way through was in 03. Had it downloaded off the CD onto my Xbox Hardrive. Pretty sure I listened to it non-stop while playing NFL Street...
 
Those were the days man

Saw them at Musink 2-3 weeks ago. They are a lot of fun live and they sound great. Wish I could say the same about Bert from The Used. Mother fucker needs to scream again.

FYE exclusive, Grey in Black. The A/B record doesn't look nearly as good. Nearly all Black.

Nope, nothing exclusive but HT should have gray vinyl online on street date.

Swellers, The - Ups & Downsizing (Paper + Plastick Records, 2009) ["Leaves" | 1st Press | /333]

Pretty stoked on this one, got a fantastic deal on it.

ive got an orange running out of places to go still in the shrink, VG+ to NM condition I'd let it go for $14 shipped shoot me a pm if you are interested

Also, placed orders on a repress of Infinity on High on a new color of vinyl at the same time as Box Car. Again, no idea when that might actually be out but it's being worked on. Oh...and a repress on a new color of vinyl for Thrice - Artists in the Ambulance as well.
 
Lots of other stuff in the works but those are a coupe I can actually talk about.
