jrodan Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just got my box from 4AD direct and it's not shrink wrapped or numbered. Da fuq? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkilmoonfan Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think the 52280 is a signifier of something else... because I've got the exact same number as part of my order... there are some digits that follow that series that I think might be even more significant...

captainaldous Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Got off the phone my local store a little bit ago. Apparently, they are getting 6 of these box sets and my name is on one of them. Cloudsbelow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just got my box from 4AD direct and it's not shrink wrapped or numbered. Da fuq? stupid question but you opened the pizza box and found the shrinkwrapped box inside, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisapple Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Got off the phone my local store a little bit ago. Apparently, they are getting 6 of these box sets and my name is on one of them. Your names probably not really on the box itself, just on a sticker on the shrink. I heard some of them don't have names on them at all.

niblips Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 stupid question but you opened the pizza box and found the shrinkwrapped box inside, right?I was just gonna ask the same thing. The pizza box is not shrink wrapped. The box inside is. On the back of that box the sticker with number should be bottom right... At least that's how it is on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyrich Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Got off the phone my local store a little bit ago. Apparently, they are getting 6 of these box sets and my name is on one of them. That's a hell of a local store that can pull down more copies than Amazon, CD Universe, Barnes & Noble, and Acoustic Sounds combined. (But apparently not Best Buy.)

filthyrich Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well that makes sense, since there's not a record store more indie than Best Buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niblips Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Mine came wrapped outside of the pizza box. huh. It seems strange (from a production standpoint) to have different shrink wrapping methods depending on where the product is going. Maybe it's a customs requirement? If not, I'm stumped.

GazHilarant Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 This thread has become a mainstay on page one, I woke up this morning opened VC and it wasn't there. I panicked for a minute. I just hope it ends with, now that we all have our box sets we have nothing to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billynomates Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Noticed a few UK shops have their stock for RSD listed and seen a couple of pretty small shops that have 4 copies. Maybe not as rare as imagined? It was 1500 WORLDWIDE?? I can't get to any shops till late Saturday so just have to keep fingers crossed.

xxmartinxx Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If you consider that only 500 are going to the US (and potentially North America), and 1000 for the rest of the world it would make sense that stores in the UK might be getting multiple copies.

fish Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 500 were going to the UK. I don't believe there was ever an official # for the US ever released. But after the 100 4AD supposedly sold we only have 900 for the rest of world. So I'd say finding it at a shop in the UK would be much easier than anywhere else.
