  1. My copy finally arrived today and true enough, in the Pilsner variant. Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the headsup! Very, very happy with how it looks. Definitely one of the best looking records in my collection. (Also arrived in near flawless condition, no seam splits on the inner or outer sleeve, which happens alot for international shipping.. and minimal warp - I've received albums that are so crazily warped its like my tonearm is dancing on a sine wave..) They also did a great job with the packaging, I liked the contrast between the finishing on the front and back panels of the gatefold, I do believe this is the first album that I own with this. It did have a bit more background noise than I had expected though.. I cleaned it before listening but it was still a noticeable amount. Still, all is good. Love the songs on this album. I've been a Caspian fan for quite awhile (When I had initially gotten on the post-rock bandwagon.. along with bands like Sigur Ros, EITS, TWDY), but it waned after awhile and I only started getting back into them after watching/listening to the audiotree session and when I started buying vinyl earlier this year. Definitely second that (third or rather..) on the audiotree session being pressed. Loved it and I still go back to listen to it on a regular basis.
  2. Finally got my copy, love the album.. Just a little bummed with some shipping damage. Also, the booklet that came with my vinyl has a misprint.. It;s an 8 page booklet, but each 'piece' of paper is the same, basically i only have the lyrics for two songs.. and then two download codes.. Does anyone else have that problem or is it just me? My copy's in marbled blue from Amoeba
  3. I'm overseas in Singapore and as I understand it I can only return the product to Amazon if the item is defective (high cost of international shipping, which amazon won't bear and will chalk up quite a bit for me, so I might as well let it go to someone else who wants it locally.. And of course, to clarify 'flip' carries the connotation of flipping for a profit, but that's not what I meant lol
  4. Thanks! The copy I ordered from Amazon should be here tomorrow or the day after.. Sincerely hope it turns out to be Pilsner! @Dave Grohl, I just have to ask, are there any telling signs on the external packaging/outer sleeve that it would be white rather than Pilsner? Will probably end up flipping it if it's white and then ordering another haha.

Libra LINK: https://www.districtlines.com/106768-The-Shape-of-Colour-12-Vinyl/Intervals-us This album has been my jam for awhile but.., at $30 for a single LP i must say I'm hesitating
  6. Looks good!!! So you got the Pilsner variant in the end? Where from?
  7. Bummer! I was asking around my friends so I stalled and ended up not being one of the first 200. Awesome! Well the next time there's stuff to order, hmu! Unfortunately I didn't catch that show at TAB... I had things that clashed so I had to give it a miss. I.. live with the regret haha. I did catch them once when they came down for Baybeats though! The risk of using a freight forwarder is that you might not be able to get recourse when there's damage. Plenty of them have liability disclaimers, and in any case, working out a return with the vendor is going to cost a bomb and be an incredible hassle.. I hope your boxset arrives in good condition!
  8. I meant appreciate as in the look! haha the newbury one looks great, and it's only 19.99, albeit before shipping. Amazon was around $24. But yes pilsner w silver splatter really looks amazing too.. I'm a sucker for.. splatter and anything clear/translucent.
  9. uh oh... I sincerely hope mine doesn't show up in white ha.. but it probably will.. I don't know why but I've never been able to appreciate white vinyl
  10. There were 2 last night, I snagged one so yes there's only one left! I was going to do a Newbury Comics one but did this instead!
  11. I was too, I'm all the way in Singapore. Mine was shipped (i ordered two) partitioned, and surrounded by styrofoam. I've only opened one set (intend to keep the other sealed or let it to a local person who missed out), but it was surprisingly flawless.
  12. Got mine! Arrived in a week and since I'm overseas, that's actually pretty quick. Shipping came up to half a boxset (i hesitated at first, and ended up not being within the first 200. would've been nice to get a 7"!) All I can say is WOW. The packaging is exquisite. Everything was very well executed. I'm also very glad mine didnt have any seam splits. Those usually happen during overseas shipping too. It was very well packed, styrofoam all round. I bought 2, thinking if I should open the other to check for seam splits.. But I wanted to keep it sealed or sell it to someone else locally.. Listening to the albums now, blueprints for the black market is a little warped, but i LOVE the remasters! Still wish that they did these on some sick coloured vinyl, but still overall, this boxset was not just a great idea, but superbly done. Props to the anberlin team and merch designers!
  13. I did, but the only one that was linked to it was the jim adkins store, so I was just asking to be sure.. Someone with more experience might have had a way. Thanks for your help and sorry if it seemed as though I was lazy or if my question rubbed you the wrong way.
  14. Quick and hopefully not a stupid question about KRM. Can I combine from different band merch stores? Trying to maximise my 'order' to make shipping more worthwhile
  15. lol.. I wonder what i'll get with mine! I'm not sure I'm within the first 200. I stalled at first kinda because how expensive international shipping was. Eventually I just went ahead and bought two to 'even' out the shipping cost..
  16. May have jumped on this one too late ): I wanted the clear splatter but held off for too long.. Ended up picking the half and half. Ordered it earlier this week but it hasn't shipped yet.
  17. Finally received my order... except that when I opened up the record mailer.. the s/t 2x12" was not there. Guess my order got delayed too.. again. I mailed to ask if my grey splatter can be swopped for a clear one. I hope that's possible. I ordered in the 'gap' of the clear ones being sold out and before they were offered for sale again. Strangely, my s/t CD is also not in the package.. I also ordered Ocean's Avenue Acoustic and Lift A Sail, but both arrived with substantial damage and were warped (they were literally flying around inside the record mailer).
  18. True.. I bought two simply because international shipping was mad. Hope there'll be someone locally who would want to buy it from me.. ha Yeah I hear ya on the B sides, also could be some nice coloured vinyl haha
  19. Yeah I just saw it online. .. I bought the blue one frantically after seeing clear was sold out.. thinking if i should still pick it up. I'm not in the US, so I have to use a forwarder..
  20. Where did you get it from? FYE says sold out so I bough the blue from Amoeba
