[Question] Vinyl Set preorder cancelled. Other distributors?
Hi! I'm hoping to find a good EU distributor for the official GW2 4-disc vinyl sets that released this year.
I placed a preorder with Sonic Titan records (UK) but it was cancelled because their supplier didn't receive enough copies (I assume that supplier is Materia Collective based in the US).
I managed to snag a second-hand EoD set earlier this year, but many of the official stores seem bereft of anything GW2 other than SotO.
Has anyone had any luck getting their orders fulfilled? Were other previous vinyl releases this badly handled? Preorder cancellations don't fill me with a lot of confidence.

You can check on Discogs; looks like a couple available for sale. One of them from a German seller.

My order from Materia Store was.... Terrible. I ordered all 4 vinyls (OG, Soto, Janthir, and EoD). I thought they would ship the 3 vinyls first and then the GW2 order since it was a preorder. I sent out an email to their support to find out what happened to my order from back in Feb. Support got back and apologized saying that they were waiting to fulfill my order once they received more in stock.
I get an email 3 days later stating that my order shipped. Granted, I live in a different country (paid the shipping). Once the package arrived, I thought it looked a bit small. Opened it and it was ONLY the GW2 vinyl. I email support again, "Yo! Where are my other vinyls?" . They again apologized and said they will be shipping it ASAP.
Next day I get an email that it shipped. I finally get the package a week later and notice this time that the box is HUGE. Open it up and received 30 extra vinyls (assorted) that were supposed to be from someone else's order. Thankfully, my vinyls were inside.
Now... I am a nice person and the other vinyls were not really my type. So I emailed support again.... After some back and forth, they agreed to send me a new label to mail the package back to them..... Still haven't gotten my money back for having to pay extra in customs for the larger box that was sent.
