Fowty Dollaz Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Now I just need to go to Florida. Sounds like a solid excuse to get to Florida (not that one is necessary). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Suprised it's not sold out yet. All my previous Mondo limited purchase was a fucking race against time/crowd. Has it been this way for the past few release? the fad is wearing out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whip Wilson Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Finally got my package. 5 test presses. One is the Studio Ghibli TP. This one wasn't sold by Mondo at Mondo Con. Its one of my favorite releases by Mondo (music and artwork) so I'm really happy to own this one. Others are: Coraline, Paranorman, Blue Sunshine and Here Comes the Devil. Nice work, old bean. Blue Sunshine, eh? I am officially covetous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilerguy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I went nuts and ordered this along with Blue Sunshine, Maniac Cop 2, AGWHAAN, Iron Giant and Cat in the Brain. Shipped to a family member in Florida to avoid the $60 Canadian shipping + import fees! Now I just need to go to Florida. Wow good work! I added a Paranorman to my order because I feel like these two records should be friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxvinyl Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 the fad is wearing out It's also been a while since they've released a "hyped" title that hasn't had a large pressing. I can't imagine that many of Mondo's general fan base are tripping over themselves to buy up copies of Maniac Cop 2 and Cannibal Holocaust. Once they finally release something like the long-awaited Alien w/ Stout artwork I think we'll see that hype train pick up steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Ive never seen boxtrolls and the soundtrack seems not bad but 42 bucks shipped is hard to do on this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpa21 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I wish I didn't get excited for every release but have to own them all now apparently..it's a sickness. Only missing these: Maniac (001), The Beyond, Studio Ghibli, Tales From The Crypt, Gravity, Black Sunday. At least I don't really care about variants, more in this for the artwork.

KingTacoMunster Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Only 118 (500) Cheese Wheel left and 1247 (?) Boxtroll Colored left. 382 cheese wheels sold in almost 2 hours. not too bad. I would have thought the blue would have been the more limited... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxvinyl Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I imagine a limited /500 Boxtroll would sell a bit quicker, and a larger pressed Cheese would stick around a lot longer. Could be coincidence, but it's a smart move on Mondo's part making the lesser variant more "rare". KingTacoMunster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thievedrelic Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Is there a reason that Mondo refuses to cancel orders? I ordered the blue variant mistakenly, and when I emailed to ask them to cancel the order 5 minutes later, they told me "While I would like to be able to cancel this order, unfortunately due to the nature of the business, the policy is that all sales are final." There is no way it was even close to shipping, obviously. Seems like kind of a dick move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyHill Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Politely explain the situation and ask them to change the colors instead of cancelling? Assuming it's still available and the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a little work, but it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I know how we all joke that everyone posts shipping confirmations but I feel for a Mondo thread this is justified as I already got one for Boxtrolls. My fastest Mondo confirmation previously was 2 weeks. I'm amazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think mostly I joke about it. I'm surprised they pressed as many Boxtrolls as they did, seems like that one is destined to sit around for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 cant believe boxtrolls are already shipping, just got my email for it...hopefully going forward they will always be like this, unlike waxworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My "A Girl Walks Home..." and Jurassic Park B-version both shipped out within 3 hours of placing an order. Sometimes Mondo will surprise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have some bad news. It looks like we are completely out of Profondita. We have tried to find out why we fell this short, but have yet to figure it out. I am going to cancel this order, and issue you a refund asap. Again, I am truly sorry about this shortage of stock. Fuck. I was really excited to get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpa21 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Fuck. I was really excited to get this. You should remind them that there are no cancellations after orders are placed. I'm sure they can source one from Justin Ishmael's collection. BobbyHill, AutumnEmpire, ratbrain and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Eh, I guess I could still play Shipping Roulette and order it from the label's Bandcamp. Hell, I could even pay 10 more Euros (!) for a color version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
