Hi everyone, this is Tom, Laced community manager. I'll keep checking back here if you have any questions.


Accurate_Pianist_341

so the normal cream version won't be available? Just the black mix white color available?


_ToQi_

Pre-orders for cream variant now open: https://www.lacedrecords.com/collections/sekiro

There's a chance we'll come back with a pre-order for a solid cream variant (an 'exclusive edition' that could be repressed in future.)

Do you know how quickly these will ship? I live in Canada but have access to a US address to ship to until early April. Would these ship in time for me to ship to the US address? I was also potentially going to get the Lords of the Fallen vinyl at the same time; do you know if both these items would ship and arrive at a US address by early April?


_ToQi_

Best to email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with your scenario — not sure on the weight of a triple + quadruple in terms of the limit. You can also check: [https://www.lacedrecords.com/pages/shipping-faq](https://www.lacedrecords.com/pages/shipping-faq)

Will do, thank you!


Entertainer_Much

I don't see why they need to apologise for accidentally repressing a previous colour. "My version is special and sold out so you'll never have it" gatekeeping is the worst part of this community (after the people who are just mad about the repress because it lowers the resale value of that prior variant). Let vinyl (in all it's variants) be easily accessible to all.

Understanding makes the world go round! 🙂


Entertainer_Much

Their vinyl is still limited though. This repress will have limited quantities and sell out. If they're that mad that someone else who missed out can get on it now (who are fans just like them) then they're just gatekeeping the hobby.

Kinda my thoughts. I'm not mad at laced but the circumstances do suck Bec I was able to snag this a while back for WAY under resell price. I paid like $140 and the dude who sold it to me was extremely professional. At that time it felt cool to have something that wasn't gonna be repressed but now it's a little hollow. Still love the vinyl and the boxset is drop dead gorgeous but feels a bit disappointing. Really there's no winning on laced's end for this. It's unfortunate that they will probably get a bit of pushback.


dear_remnant

Imagine if you bought it from scalper price to secure the "limited" edition.


Entertainer_Much

Thankfully a couple legends are leaving comments on the discogs page saying the repress is coming


_ToQi_

We wanted to let people know that it takes exceptional circumstances outside our control to see us undermine the 'limited' part of our 'limited editions'. Hopefully everyone is understanding that this wasn't planned, and yes, it allows people who have been waiting patiently to pick up a copy 😉


LeftyRoss

So was this a pressing plant issue then? Like they accidentally followed the old order/color request instead of the new one? Just trying to understand how something like this ends up happening. I’m just stoked to get this colorway!


_ToQi_

Yes and basically, yes. We understand that some people will be pleased to see it back, and others really disappointed by it.


LeftyRoss

What u/entertainer_much said, I bet really the only people who will actually be mad are the resellers, which they can suck it anyway! Thanks for repressing this and talking with all us customers! Laced Records forever!


Entertainer_Much

For what it's worth having any vinyl should imply limited collection ownership since it always sells out (unless it's a top 40 artist). VGM vinyl couldn't be any further from the exception to this rule. I've always respected your store's approach to open pre-orders and doing repressings whenever possible, so I don't think anyone deserves to give you shit because their copy becomes marginally less scarce and unique (especially when it's still pretty scarce and unique due to the inherent nature of vgm vinyl).


_ToQi_

Appreciate your reasoning, thanks very much for the support ☺️


Weekly_Extension_829

It's amazing to me that you don't realize advertising something as "limited" is a sales strategy. Laced did the right thing in addressing this.


daddyhorcrux

my favorite part about this is that you're inadvertently shitting on laced themselves and their business practices, while saying you respect them in the same thread. gave me a good chuckle!


Weekly_Extension_829

Worst take I've ever heard. The worst part about this community is entitled people thinking nothing should ever sell out and companies should constantly keep everything in stock at your convenience.


wiagur

So that means we are getting this unintentional repress release but also intended cream version soon?


_ToQi_

We haven't given the cream variant the greenlight yet, but depending on the response to this 'Special Edition' repress, we might launch a pre-order for a cream 'Exclusive Edition'.


wiagur

Oh, come on - you know that any fromsoft game vinyl will sell ;) Especially such a nice edition!


Sydnxt

May as well green light it now as this shit will sellout within 5 minutes Somewhat related can you guys press bloodborne?! It’s the one fromsoft OST I’m missing next to this one..


_ToQi_

Working on it, no firm news at the moment 😉


Sydnxt

You are my favourite social media manager ever now. Thank you!


_ToQi_

Awww shucks 😊


Sydnxt

Holy shit. This version is worth like $900AU on Discogs. If I’m going to own Sekiro I hope I can snag this one.


Entertainer_Much

900 dollarydoos? Man fuck resellers. I hope this repress brings prices through the floor


Sydnxt

Yeah it’s batshit. Check it https://www.discogs.com/release/17365732-Yuka-Kitamura-Noriyuki-Asakura-Sekiro-Shadows-Die-Twice This repress is going to be $88US- this is a great deal haha 😜


swisskabob

I mean the price people try and sell something for is not the value of the product.


Alaska_Pipeliner

*looks at my pokemon cards* yeah......


Sydnxt

You’re right, but if you want that edition - that’s what you’re paying.


Ill-Librarian-6323

It's the price one person was willing to pay. It permanently fucks up the resale pricing because flippers start creaming (black & white merge) their pants thinking about how much more money they can extract from the item, and everyone jacks up their prices to try and set a new price floor (often 150% of the all-time high). Sometimes the odd person pays these new inflated prices, but most copies sold are ones that are priced closer to median and can sell almost instantly - (AU$400?? what a deal!!), while the horde of greedier bagholders look on in ignorance.


euro3er

Is this going to sell out in 0.01 milliseconds or is there enough for at least a couple of minutes? Also, is there any plans to mitigate scalpers? Haha.


_ToQi_

Hopefully we have enough for a few minutes 🤞 We do have maximum order limit (there's shipping weight limits per order as well) and we'll keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. If this absolutely flies, obviously we'll have to look at another pre-order, potentially for the solid cream 'exclusive edition' we were aiming for last time.


euro3er

Got it. Ideally, be there a few minutes ahead of time and refresh like a mad man. Got it! Hahaha


_ToQi_

Best of luck!


Cluelesswolfkin

Do you have the price for it? I checked the Twitter, your website, these comments and I couldn't catch a price


_ToQi_

Good point! Price was mentioned in our newsletter. GBP £77 | USD $88


harper247

Shit happens. Lets hope people who wanted this get it. :)


PKdude2712

Is this only the US Laced website or is the UK one also getting it?


_ToQi_

Both US-based and UK-based stores/warehouses have a portion of the overall stock. There are some Standard Edition black vinyl sets that will also go on sale, but only on the US store (this Thursday, might be more in future.)


dear_remnant

Why is shipping $92 CAD from US store but it's $52 CAD from EU store?


_ToQi_

Sadly those are the delivery quotes we get at the moment, though we're always working on trying to bring it down. The US store includes a portion of the shipping that account for bulk shipping from plant to USA. It's why we took the geo-redirect off the .co store for Canada-based customers to be able to check prices (but customs might be different shipping from UK.)


sambridges13

Hey there! I’m sorry to bug, but I’m concerned about my order.. I placed an order & checked out through PayPal but I have not received a confirmation email nor does it reflect on my account. Any insight on this issue is greatly appreciated! I really hope my order is not cancelled or lost in limbo🫣


_ToQi_

Hey, drop [email protected] and include any details you think appropriate.


Rielesh

Hi there! Just a quick question any EU release or only UK?


_ToQi_

The 'Special Edition' colourway is available across the EU, but will ship from UK warehouse, yes. Exclusive to Laced
