I am watching this thread and come to see it whenever I got a notification but there was no info on the pre-order. Maybe I missed a post or something.

I posted the pre order date and time on page 3.
Think someone else did too. Not sure if the OP was updated in time or not

Someone asked them on IG about the PO date. They answered. It got posted here (check post #39). Sorry you missed it. Yeah, PA don't put much effort into promoting their releases (anymore) but rather relay on their fans to spread the news.

Did not expect this to sell out so quickly. Both Cure and Decision to Leave remained in stock for several weeks and kinda expected the same to happen with this. Alas.

Thanks so much, don’t know how I missed it because I was following this release thread with alerts. I just spent about 3h to create an instagram account both through website and App as well but it always gives me an error message when I need to accept the terms and conditions. It’s frustrating wasting 3 to 4h of my day on this to follow them. Now I’m locked out too many attempts and will try in a couple of days. But I’ll be more careful with The Florida Project thread so I don’t miss out.

I'll tag you when or if there are any updates.

They did a weet

thought exactly the same haha

 

[TheWildEye]

I mean, it makes sense.
We have to be realistic that the amount of physical media collectors has increased exponentially over the last 2-3 years.
Therefore all these premium sellers should increase their numbers.
It can't stay the same as it was in 2018.
More and more people are sacking off streaming for Physical and a proportion of those will inevitably become hardcore collectors.

 

[Flloydo]

And it’s going to cost more because scanavo have increased steelbook production costs and shipping fees. And also the coaster costs more too.

Because of war related logistics. Normal steels are going start costing £50 soon aren’t they

1,100 is small though for any premium. New collectors or not

 

[TheWildEye]

Actually not too keen on that finish for the cost.

 

[Flloydo]

They will also explain separately how they got a print run of 1,100 instead of the minimum print run of 3,000 and that they will say what other projects they have coming up with similar limited numbers. I’m interested in reading that

It’s awful. I’m really shocked with PA on this one and everyone’s lapping it up. I think the packaging looks more premium than the steelbook itself which is bad imo

@Actarus this is your chance!

I think if it were just a WWA steel, we'd be grateful to have it, sure, but we wouldn't regard it as the release of the year or anything. The limited number is doing a lot for this release.
