slinch Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have a question, if you are paying with PayPal does you cart contents "lock in" when you hit "Checkout (proceed to PayPal)" or is it a possibility that the records can be pulled from your cart in the mean time? Nope, items aren't secured until you complete payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsWetWilly Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Haha! This is craziness. I'm stoked. I've been through the Mondo routine a couple of times with my brother for him to get a couple prints, but never for myself with vinyl. So excited to go after that amber. Good luck to everyone. We're on the home stretch now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Here is a quick FAQ, you can link to this post every couple pages as people inevitably ask the same questions over and over. You can link directly to it here: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/83343-mondo-records-thread/page-221#entry1882195 Let me know if I missed anything. Q: When does this go on sale? A: At a random time on June 11th. Typically that random time is between 11:30am and Noon EST. Q: How do I get the Dilophosaurus version? A: Version A is black with a triple color variant, the Dilophosaurus. There is no way to guarantee whether you get the colored or the black, the colored variant is randomly inserted. Mondo has suggested that variants make up 1/3 of the total run. You've got a 33% chance if you order one copy, obviously you chance becomes higher when you order two. Q: So should I order two and sell the other? A: If you want. I can tell you from experience ordering 2 does not gaurantee a variant, though mathematically speaking it should greatly improve your odds. Keep in mind for most releases the black version will not sell for much on eBay, often under retail for the months following a release. Q: How do I get the Amber version? If you are after the Amber variant (Version that will probably be available online in more limited quantities. It will not be randomly inserted and will be listed as a unique SKU on the website. So long as it is in stock you can order it and not have to worry about randomly inserted mumbo jumbo. Past experience suggests that Amber will be available first to Austin residents with the remainder hitting the website at the same time as version A. This has not been made explicit by Mondo so it is an educated guess. This is will sell out much faster than version A. That is also an educated guess. Q: How many can I order? A: Usually two copies per order, there is no limit on the amount of orders you can place. I think they have limited LPs to one per order in the past so they may do that with Version B. I doubt they'll do that with Version A. Q: How long will this take to ship? A: Probably not faster than a week and probably not longer than a month. Q: I don't want to pay $7 in shipping, can I get this locally or somewhere else online? A: No. This release is exclusive through the Mondo website. Q: Why are you presenting opinion as fact? A: I tried to avoid that. Fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 False. 90% of Mondo drops fall between 11:50-12:00. ...Can't remember the last time I've seen a drop fall between 11:15-11:30. I've followed hundreds of these Mondo drops, trust me. Well that's funny, because the last vinyl drop, THE VISITOR, went up at 11:30 sharp as you can clearly see here: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/101479-stridulum-aka-the-visitor-1979-soundtrack-by-franco-micalizzi-mondo/ Nice to be able to find info in a thread easily and quickly, huh? Even with the trolling going on there, that's about it. I really think some of the Mondo regulars/flippers like the fact that a lot of info is buried in these threads. Just sayin'. itsgoodtobefree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 lets argue times of drops, and not even think, hey people live in different time zones Yeah, but the argument is within a 30 minute range.

mayatex Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 So I'm torn. Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time. I love the jacket of the Variant A, but love the color of Variant B.

One drop went down at exactly 11:30 and you're gonna try and use that as evidence that drops typically fall at that bogus 1/2 hour time frame that you're suggesting?

nothingnatural Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm not in to any of the Mondo stuff, just checked out this thread due to it being bumped so many times. I will say that I find it both hilarious and ridiculous that this company is selling VHS tapes for $25. Also hilarious, ridiculous and sad that they are doing variants for said VHS tapes. Sorry all, just wanted to vent, carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mind is telling me I don't need both but my heart is telling me I need both! What to do? My problem too! Probably just going to order one of each. Jacket for A is too beautiful to not get. Even if the record itself is black, it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
