Sounds like TR/AR made sure that there were no compromises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This thread is greatly lacking full-on balls-out pics of the TVW packaging and BB LP mailer. natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'd take a pic but i just got back to work after running home to get mine out of the heat. I ordered 2 and they were packaged in one of the amazon style mailers with no extra cardboard or anything. But with 2 of them in there is was a hefty package and arrived pretty much mint. Special thanks again to whoever it was that posted the link. Can't believe we got this for so cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never learned how to upload pics on this site, but: BB mailer was the same one I've received for the last year or so. oversized ~amazon-style folded-cardboard protection inside of a ~flimsy sticky cardboard mailer. as with all of my past BB orders, everything looks great. TVW packaging has the American soldier on the front and the Vietnamese person on the back. The jacket is not a gatefold, but is wide enough for 3 records (each in thick looking inner sleeves) I haven't opened mine yet because I'm still waiting for my NIN.com order to ship(...), so I will probably wait to see which copy I open and which copy I leave sealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Received my Vietnam OST copy today. Definitely no shortage of sleeve scuffs on the discs. One LP went through the powersander before it arrived. Bunch of hairlines as well. Let's hope it's inaudible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Mine arrived today. Yeah, the BB LP mailer sucks balls. Even worse than the ones used in the UK which I'm always bitching about. It was beat to hell but thankfully the records are OK. The "box" jacket was not severely damaged thankfully. Minor crimp at top right where the opening for the sleeves and records are. There are seam splits happening though in the sleeves. Overall though...not going to complain much considering the price snafu from BB. I have a copy coming in from Amoeba so once it gets here, I'll decide which to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If you're not watching the Vietnam War documentary, I highly recommend it.

floyd_z Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I guess I got lucky. I ordered 3 and they put them all in an Amazon size box (that they put mailers in now) with some packing paper and they're all fine. Such a sweet deal.

I'm a sucker for history overall and this is has me at attention. Esp. given that TR+AR are involved. I gave the soundtrack/score a run-through tonight and it's fantastic. Definitely falls somewhere in between the sounds & textures & feels that they've done with TGWTDT and Gone Girl. Very subtle and background-ish and disturbing in a "is it really there?" feel to it.

I found out today that a colleague's dad is in it. He was the guy in Episode 1 talking about an ambush who originally prayed that he'd get killed instead of his men, but then asked himself, "WTF am I thinking?"

jhulud Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 ^^ YES!!! That guy was intense! I felt so much for him and his selfless-ness. It moved me. I've met and known a couple of family friends who were and involved in the Vietnam war and sitting down hearing their stories...esp. as I got older and understood and grasped things better...it all shook me to the core and jarred me. Same goes for some older friends who have dealt things in the middle east militarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd_z Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 This record sounds fantastic. It is absolutely dead silent, which is great because some of the songs are really quiet. Such a steal for $13. I noticed Best Buy changed the price to $45, but it's till sold out. Just started listening to side D, but side C has been my favorite so far, it starts to pick up. I'm guessing these will be as limited as Gone Girl and GWTDTT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think Gone Girl was limited at all considering it’s still available. TGWTDT was super limited though. I’d love to see a regular release of it at some point. I’d say this will be easy to come by for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam10647 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Has Trent won any Emmys before? If not he could for this dude might pull off an EGOT if they ever make the Fight Club musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah, if anyone that bought multiples of TVW score from Best Buy is planning to resell, it would be cool if someone would also sell me one at cost + shipping. I put in my order last Tuesday and it's been sitting in Preparing status since then. Called to find out what was going on and was told it was placed on backorder. Looks like i was a little late to get my order in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryq Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 btw, if anyone else ordered TVW from the NIN store, my package arrived today (despite never receiving a shipping notice). it was packed in a regular mailer and wrapped in bubblewrap (mailed from Texas, as I recall). if it wasn't for the fact that I was also able to get a copy from Best Buy for $14, I think I'd be ~fully satisfied with this Sandbag experience. freezeflash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
