Unfortunately my copy of The Brain (the happy campers sub version) hasn't arrived yet. It was send when Covid-19 hit the fan. The tracking status has in in the same distribution center since April 15. I hope it will arrive at some point...

Thank you Japan! (and cheers to credit card debt...)

CHUD II for scale :-)

One package actually had coins taped in... no idea why... but very cool!

One hour later the tower doesn't look that impressive anymore... But some gems are in there!

Now a break, some lunch, playing a tune, and then some more pictures of what is actually in there!

i remember when my brother got married to a Japanese girl, in all the wedding favors they inserted hole coins as a symbol of good luck. it is Japanese tradition, but i don't know if this is your case ahah
That is good to know! I will take it as good luck wishes from that seller :-)

Opening all this this stuff is a real treat. Of course acquiring all of this doesn't require skill or elbow grease by digging through crates, but nonetheless it filled a small part of the empty void I as a record collector remain to have.

When did it ship? Mine hadn't shipped and I messaged them last week, they apologized about the delay and immediately shipped it. I've had a packaged from Greece stuck in "shipping limbo" for 3 weeks. I've been told that Chicago is holding international packages for 3-4 weeks before they release them to the USPS.

My AA and Freedom Power are in the same boat.
Definitely shoot them an email though - I had a similar experience to inskb’s (a couple of weeks earlier).

Mine is still taking forever though - last update on my shipping was “accepted” in the Netherlands, June 9. It’s crazy to me that it still hasn’t even made it to the US yet.

Emailed Lorenzo on June 4, he shipped on June 5. It landed in Chicago on June 19, then darkness.
