Twistedshabazz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Seem to be in the same boat as many of ordered two version A's and have no shipping update. Trying to give this as a gift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Last year they had a special Ghibli version there. Did it ever go on the site or was it SDCC exclusive? Seem to be in the same boat as many of ordered two version A's and have no shipping update. Trying to give this as a gift... Ordering 2 copies takes longer from Mondo than 1. Don't really understand it as you'd think those who spent more would be first priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ordering 2 copies takes longer from Mondo than 1. Don't really understand it as you'd think those who spent more would be first priority. Mo said they consciously try and make it so people that order two get at least one variant, that is probably the reason and I'm sure anyone complaining would actually want it that way. +hecollec+or 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hecollec+or Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 They sold that studio ghibli online. Sold out in a heartbeat. They will try to ship out EVERYTHING this week. Could be tomorrow, could be Friday... What was special/different about the studio ghibli from the other 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 What was special/different about the studio ghibli from the other 3? There were two others, they're all different colors and have different parts in Japanese or English. The SDCC one had Japanese on the jacket and an English OBI strip. +hecollec+or 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty awesome actually.... I had no idea they did that & respect them even more now. I've only ordered 3 doubles from Mondo & scored 3 variants (The Omen wasn't meant to be ) +1 for Mo & Mondo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdz68 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 So anyone laying odds on Looper LP being at SDCC?I concur!

Shelby Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I ordered 4 and got all black. Seems like most of the people that only ordered one got a variant. That's ridiculous, even if it was actually random there is a much higher chance of getting a variant with this record than any of the others. Someone hates you.

ChrisWithanF Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Maybe they thought you were a flipper ordering that many... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxvinyl Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Maybe they thought you were a flipper ordering that many... Seems unlikely given that this would be the first time they've ever done anything to combat flipping. Mondo as a company seems to rely pretty heavily on flippers to get those quick sellouts/hype. That being said, this would be a huge bummer if it were true. I definitely ordered multiple copies as future gifts for all my close friends seeing as how this movie pretty much blew our minds when it came out. Was really hoping I'd have some variants to give away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I think it's mostly that I'm just incredibly unlucky. Like the last guy said, Mondo's whole business is built on flippers and they've never done anything to try to stop it. chilltown38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I wonder when they ship out packages, do they have a separate pile of variant copies or are they all mixed together? I can't imagine them going, "hey, this guy ordered four copies, let's give him all black ones!" chilltown38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waters Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 FWIW, I picked up my copy at the mondo gallery, and they had one big box of them, they said they were randomly mixed and I watched him pick me one out of the middle. Got a black, but it totally seems legit that it is a random mix. Anyway, black or variant, it's a great soundtrack and a cool package. I totally get your frustration, but I don't believe it's mondo, I think you probably were just really unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would indicate that they indeed have separate piles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfrancese5 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Aside to sell these faster is there a reason they do the "random inserts" it just seems so cruel lo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Aside to sell these faster is there a reason they do the "random inserts" it just seems so cruel lo Yes, they sell more records when people get stuck with multiple black copies in an attempt to get a variant. I hate that they do it from a "you should be allowed to buy what you want" perspective. I don't think it's cruel though because Mondo never told anyone they had to collect every single variant vinyl they release. It's their game, if you want to play it, understand there are gonna be times where you lose. Don't like it? Don't play. Simple as that.
