End of the month was the last I heard from them.

I was just about to post the same question as well. I haven't heard anything since I ordered it.

I assumed these were already done and ready to ship since I had already got some copes of it at SDCC and they sold some more of those online.

yeah, but they ship out so many posters that they stagger everything with the vinyl releases. seems some people have received them already because they are selling on ebay like crazy...

The ones I can see on ebay here are scarily-priced (2 sets of 3 for $185/$210, 3 separates for $95 each) and all have "this is a presale item" caveats on them. When they start shipping, it's going to get a bit mad and - like The Fog's first DWRC appearance - we'll all of a sudden get a bunch of new users wanting stuff at cost who we'll never hear from again :)

hmmm, maybe time to be more selective with who we sell to/trade with?

We're already being positive about it as a whole with the Vinyl Buddies list which can only get bigger the longer this place goes on for, plus regular names and faces will become more familiar anyway. And we have the beginnings of the Vinyl Buddy list going on around here somewhere so that's another thing.
It'll (hopefully!) always be the case that exciting, limited new releases bring people here who will want to buy sell and trade (a big portion of this board's activity is devoted to this after all), and the more the merrier. Flippers shouldn't be that hard to spot in amongst everyone else (no posting history, no politeness, creating new I Want This threads instead of joining existing identical ones, to pick on a few that stand out to me), but the way things have been lately would suggest that this place isn't somewhere that they're really going to thrive anyway, and now I'm getting to grips with the general "what does this button do?" operation here, there's a few tricks up our sleeves to deter/annoy those who are here to profit off our good nature :)

has anyone heard ANYTHING about a mondo vinyl release today? i know it is the last friday of the month, which is when they have typically been releasing, but no word from them with a blog post yesterday or anything. i don't even know what the next release is supposed to be. i have a ton of meetings at work today, so i would love to know if i need to keep staring at my phone waiting for a tweet to come through...

Mondo always announces their drops at least the day before they happen, whether it's a print or an LP. I doubt we will see a surprise drop today.

yeah, i thought for sure there would be some announcement yesterday about it, and am surprised nothing appeared, as they are on a 1 release per month schedule to get 12 releases out this year. granted, it is a lot to keep up with, especially with all of the other business they do, so maybe it was a bit ambitious on their part.

I think you're right -- very ambitious for their schedule. I'd still like to know what they're planning to fill the gap between The Raid and Drive with. These skipped numbers irritate me.

Today's Norman Records' update lists the Miyazaki release as just in, with a pre-order date of Sept 3. Hopefully, we'll be seeing our shipping receipts from Mondo soon.

So no mondo release this month. Really sad.

maybe they'll double up next month...

Er, what? Norman Records are getting these in!? I thought they were only licensed to sell them in the US & Canada?
By siforster
#4160
I was thinking that too!
By Re-animated Cat

Just emailed Phil at Norms - he's getting some, but doesn't know which of the variants they'll be.

"maybe they’ll double up next month…"

I hope not. My wallet can use a break ;)

Piccadilly Records are taking preorders now too at £27.99, so much for the licencing thingy then :)

Linky

Their release date is showing as October 21st.

EDIT: And Rough Trade as well! No release date from them, but a bit pricier at £32.99
By Re-animated Cat
#4282
Yeah, I got a pre-order in at Norms.

I'm really starting to get fed up with all this secrecy/general lack of info from labels. There's so much guesswork going on all the time.

Update: Norman Recs have changed their shipping date to sometime in October.

Any of you US folks hear anything from Mondo lately?

Nothing here. Ordered one of each and it's still listed as "Processing"
User avatar

#4512
yeah, i ended up placing two orders, one for myself, and another for the an extra mononoke and spirited away to sell/trade with folks here. the order for myself shows as Processing, and the other still shows as New. i don't have much faith that these will be shipped before next month. as i mentioned before, it took over 2 months for my MANIAC to ship from them.

my Mondo orders are still listed as 'new' so 'processing' may be reason for hope!

Also, in case folks didn't see this, musicdirect has them for $20!

I am guessing it is a mistake, so they may up the price at some point.

Got this quote from Mondo from another board -

"So sorry for the extended delay! That's correct, we are still currently waiting to receive the Ghibli vinyl in from our manufacturer. We expect to start shipping these out on Sept. 13th and will work to get all orders fulfilled as quickly as possible. You will receive a confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your order leaves our fulfillment center.

Thanks so much for your continued patience and understanding. Please let me know if you have further questions!"
