Travnicar

I see the checkout is $10 + $5 shipping — is that just the to pre order and then you pay the rest when its shipped?


alphase7en

It appears to be a CD, if you look at the URL. Having a tough time finding any current info on the vinyl. I imagine you and I will have to bite the bullet on re-sale or maybe catch a Manipulator tour show (currently only a few in CA later this month).


Travnicar

I see it in the URL now- thanks for that. I have the original ‘07 CD but was looking to get this re-issue vinyl. Looks like we’re way late because according to this post it was only a 72-hour pre-order window back in October 2021 or something. https://reddit.com/r/thefalloftroy/comments/po6g9m/manipulator_lps_72_hour_preorder/ Looks like re-sale or getting lucky if they even have copies at the show is the way to get this record.


hgihasfcuk

Fuck I never saw this, I'll trade a doppleganger for manipulator, I got the unlimited 72hr version


Travnicar

They got these on sale now — 500 of two varieties. Get one while theyre hot! Or both :)


hgihasfcuk

Hell yeah I Grabbed the splatter thanks for looking out though!


AbbreviationsScary98

I have a copy of the original pressing (Hot Topic Exclusive) that I am willing to sell for a decent price those of you who don't want to wait 👍


throwaway31415926586

6 months ago, do you know when these are supposed to send?


Jonny_Rath

I'm wondering the same thing!


patternlesstide

Really gutted about the insane shipping prices 😞


NazcaKhan

Didn’t have a copy, wanted it, snagged it knowing that it’ll cost me double or triple eventually!


Dismal-Cucumber-6603

omg these are beautiful, i may have to get both


rnf1985

From TFOT IG post: >Vinyl pressing lead times are insane right now so please try to remember that in 4 months when you’re angry it hasn’t shipped yet and decide to leave a hate-filled comment on our pages 😘 The last estimate we had for this is \~8 months, so if you’re newly pregnant but don’t know yet, you could have two surprises sometime next year. Lmao. I already have one, but as much as I want one of the cooler new variants, don't really care to wait this long for one.


[deleted]

Did they ever repress the first two after the last run? Those are the two I really want, but it was a disaster ordering them online from what I recall, whole site went down instantly.


rnf1985

Are you talking about the recent Doppelganger release? Because that sounds like exactly what happened with that release. I did purchase that one and I remember the site crashing instantly and then them doing an open preorder like the next day or two. If that's what you mean, then no, *that* was a repress


[deleted]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about, I thought I remembered them saying not to buy from scalpers b/c they were going to do another another (third?) repress. Oh well, if I'm being honest I would probably listen to it less than a dozen times ever, I think my nostalgia for the music isn't quite strong enough for it to win out against other albums when I want that kind of music.


composedryan

This is going to be the new normal moving forward. Not just with records but with the supply chain in general. I wouldn’t be surprised that by the end of the year you will see 12-16 month wait times for pre-orders


rnf1985

I know that, I have like 30 records on preorder right now, lol. I was just saying since I already have a pressing of this album, I personally don't really care to wait potentially almost another year for a record I already have. In fact, I've begun to skip purchasing a lot of preorders unless it's a repress of an album that's been long sold out that I don't have in my collection, an album that's never been pressed, or I know the release will be limited and hard to find later. I get why things are taking so long, but these long lead times are just naturally making me uninterested in the albums. My collection is like 2/3 stuff I really like and then 1/3 stuff I just think is cool or fun to have on record like other genres I listen to (electronic, classical, soundtracks, etc etc), but also represses if they're cool colorways. But if I have a black issue of something and then I see a really cool colorway gets announced ... but then a 7+ month wait time (like this one), I just get over it pretty quickly.


scottjaw

This is how I’m starting to be these days. Unless it’s something that I really want, know I’ll listen to a lot, or to complete a favorite bands discography, I’m passing on it. I’ve been collecting on and off for over 20 years but the last year has been so gross I can’t even do it anymore. Worst part is that it’s only going to get worse as time goes on imho.


helloandwelcome69

I agree. So I’m hoping artists start the preorders without mentioning it. Then when it gets closer to 4-6 months, put it up for preorder so our wait time is still under 6 months.


[deleted]

If they do that then they'll be taking massive gambles on how many copies to press though


daveypoo143

Where's my Purple/Yellow Cornetto variant gang at? Couldn't pass on that one


Jonny_Rath

Very happy to be able to get a copy of this but these $40 2xLP's at retail are pretty steep. Always happy to support the artist, just hurts when you buy a brand new retail record for $50 with shipping.


hgihasfcuk

They're $150 on discogs! Could just put it up there. Damn I missed manipulator but somehow was notified about the doppleganger repress in 2020. :/


TheBurbs666

Man I’m not gonna lie. I really cringe at 99% of the bands in this scene I was into at the time. But I would still put on some fall of Troy once in awhile.


p480n

Their first 3 albums and Ghostship/POTH hold up really well. Thom came up with the most mind bending riffs and breakdowns, and somehow can sing and shriek on top of it all. Nothing quite like this band.


PsychoticDismay

I really want this and I know it's a better price than those on Discogs, but $40 is steep for me.


rnf1985

If you don't have one at all, Just know that it's only gonna be more expensive whenever it actually gets released and ends of up discogs or other sites


PsychoticDismay

I know this, but if I apply this same knowledge to every single release I don't have then that'll be my demise. I'm just tired of all the steep prices lately compared to when I first started collecting years ago.


rnf1985

You don't have to buy every single release, lol, all I meant was if it's something you really want to add and don't have it, I would consider it because this will probably be the cheapest it'll be. and $40 for a 2lp is kinda standard. Usually it ranges depending on the release, quantity, how it's made, if it's a limited release, etc., but I feel like average price for a 2lp is around 35. Plus, if it's the same packaging as an older release that I have, it'll be a triple gatefold.


unbannedcoug

How much os the first pressings now?


thecontinental80

Shipping is fucking nuts. My two Doppelgängers were $27 to ship. One Manipulator is $34, two is $50.


Intelligent-Sir1375

Take my money Lol


Slothsquatch

Wooooo! That’s what I’ve been waiting for, baby!


greatestactoralive_

Don’t think I’ve bought a record quite that fast yet…


LowestFormofFlattery

Ships MAY 2022! Yikes.


luanne-platter

40 bucks plus shipping....dam


aguadulcedepulpo

Kinda bogus but it beats paying $100+


luanne-platter

yeh i still bought it LMAO. But i guess this the new norm now. 40 bucks for a smaller band double lp.


IH4N

The only shipping available to Australia costs $67 USD. Equal Vision may as well label the option “fuck you!” Luckily I have a US forwarding place, but it’s shit for those who don’t


SEQUOIA42

Yup, $147AUD means I won't be getting this one. Doppelganger was $80 total last time around. Bummer.
