Rip Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Can't believe this still isn't sold out. I guess I was wrong about it being more popular than Deadly Spawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karloffsidekick Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Are the pressing numbers the same? I'd guess they are at least twice that of Spawn which was twice that of Beyond which was…you get the drift. I'm certain they're testing their limits as to what a maxed-out pressing would be in terms of market demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk-downing Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 This is just by memory, but I could have sworn each release has been 1500 copies. Not sure about Maniac though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe part of the reason Drive has been stalled is because they wanted to test out the market a little more? Maybe they were afraid they wouldn't press enough copies of it?

jipc Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Are the pressing numbers the same? I think they only pressed 500 Maniac and then 2000 of every release there after. I think. Dont quote me on that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were afraid they wouldn't press enough copies of it? I would think the opposite. Mondo is one of those businesses (as in to make money and not necessarily to make you or I happy) who produce, sell and move on to the next thing (and quickly at that). I doubt that anyone there is happy that cases of Poltergeist albums are still sitting unsold in their gallery right now. It's not underproducing (things like Drive soundtracks) they're worried about, it's overproducing them. Just my two cents. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get damaged goods from Mondo contact them and have them exchange it. They most likely hold back selling their entire run of an item for cases like that.

R I think I read a while back that Mondo was looking to create distribution networks for their Drive release. Maybe they haven't gotten that finalized yet to their level of satisfaction and as a result were still here waiting while theyve put out 3 releases since Drive was originally announced? If I had to guess, the Mondo Drive release will not be hard to get, but since its Mondo, they will do something limited for their website preorders.

Colored Yeah, I know Ive seen pressing numbers for the first 2 Mondo releases before. Didnt want to mention anything though without evidence to back it up. My guess is they did around 2000 for Poltergeist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Prob a longshot but anyone live in Austin who is planning on hitting the Mondo gallery who would be kind enough to snag an extra vinyl and/or Drive poster for me? I absolutely love that print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
