I hope you are all settling into the new year.

Apologies I haven’t updated since December; I had hoped my next major update would contain some beauty shots of the slips and OC box. That hasn’t been the case and it’s currently still a waiting game, so I thought I’d do a check in update instead just to say hi, advise where we are currently at, and generally keep the transparency and communication flowing.

At present, we are waiting on our second (and hopefully final) samples to arrive. Once I approve them we can go straight to production this doesn’t take long after approval, so don't worry.

The office is stacked floor to ceiling with all the orders content minus the slips and boxes, so not only is it frustrating for you, it’s also not giving me much room to work in!

I’ve linked some shots below of the total package minus the slips. These are all ready to go and packed in order, we just need to place the sets in the slips and seal them, then they are ready for delivery.

I know a lot of you have appreciated the regular updates and I’m pleased they have been worthwhile. On my last update in December, I sent it via a mass mail merge rather than the socials just so customers who don't use social media could get an idea of what’s happening. It seems a lot of members from GBs naturally didn't receive that email, so my apologies for that.

Going forward I’ll be covering all bases, so this update will be on the FB page, all forums, and sent via mail merge.

I’m eager to get these out and, considering these were on track for an early release ahead of schedule, it’s been frustrating to say the least.

I appreciate all the patience and support.

Have a great upcoming weekend and I'll speak to you soon,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Is the disc going to be printed?

 

[samdavies]

Hi Dan,

Is the disc going to be printed?

Do you mean with a new disc label? No. They're just the standard UK discs from the distributor.

Ah, ok. Was wondering as disc in beauty shots have a placeholder image and pics above did show original discs without art

Like many, I’m happy to wait for quality and really appreciate the comms. Still really looking forward to this and I’ll take this moment to thank you for all the hard work.

 

[alaminblah]

A Lost in Translation premium would be awesome. One can hope

 

[Flloydo]

@AstroC13 don’t you dare crumble my dreams of having a Lost In Translation premium!

Can I ask, what’s a S&S variant?

 

[walkintom]

@AstroC13 don’t you dare crumble my dreams of having a Lost In Translation premium!

Slipcover and steelbook, I think?

It's a slim slip edition, like this.

@AstroC13
As always, I/we appreciate the continual updates. Really helpful.
Cheers for these.
Personally I'm fine with waiting for the finished product because I know that if the creator isn't satisfied with it, then what's the point. Nothing wrong with being a perfectionist mate.

Anyway, this extra time has given me the opportunity to finally read Jeff Vandermeers original Southern Reach trilogy which the film is based off.
Win Win.
Annihilation has a spot on my shelf next to Lone Survivor one way or other.

Can't wait to see the final product.

Oh, thanks for the reminder that I need to read the books.

Latest update.

Waiting so long you've got people who've read trilogies of actual books. Absolute disgra.... wait did you say free gift?

I'm so sorry for your loss... situation... thing.

Love you the most

 

[Mararagan]

Thanks for the update m8 @AstroC13
The gift is certainly most welcome but the regular updates are what matter the most and shows the special attention made to your customers.

 

[Mr.Pink]

this is easily my most anticipated release, hearing the amount of care that's been put in makes all worth the wait!

 

[Bungral]

Yea waiting really isn’t an issue here at all. Going to be awesome to see the finished product.
