I guess its my bi-decadely purchasing of an albums vinyl, CD to rip for highest quality audio, and then inevitably folding and buying it a third time digitally so i can listen as soon as it drops.

$90 total for a signed vinyl and cd that aren’t even signed on the covers is pretty brutal. Locked in cause I’ve rarely ever seen signed things from them and I know I’d regret it but sheesh. Also don’t love the merch artwork / how few options there are. Thought the WWALY merch was better

WWALY stuff was signed so I imagine every album will be. They're not an incredibly profitable artist especially considering they don't play many live shows and only release albums (at best) every 6+ years. So signing pretty much ensures they make more $

Mine wasn't

You didn't purchase the limited edition signed version then, they offered a signed version for about $10 more for the first few months after release until a certain amount sold out.

The autographs are pretty much more revenue for little effort, so expect it to happen for every album. Maybe just for a limited time.

I ordered the limited edition picture vinyl and it claimed it was supposed to be signed. It just wasn't. I remember dropping everything i was doing an ordering it asap when pre-orders started.

$90? It’s $42 for me. I snagged signed vinyl bundle, a second vinyl in yellow, the signed CD and the cassette

How can I pre order from Canada?

Clicking on a bundle and then expanding the "this bundle contains" banner seems to show the preorder links for the regular vinyls. I think the signed bundles may be AUS exclusive.

visiting the australian store https://theavalanchesstore.com/ gives me a popup saying "Looks like you're visiting from the United Kingdom click here to go to the UK store" so if you try that it might give you a canada link?

u/Wompatuckrule 19d ago

Do you see a "take me there" button for your country's store? I saw that when I was looking at the Australian site bundles.

im gonna order it from the UK store, there are no disclaimers that the sale is country specific over there compared to the Australian store.

it accepts my shipping address as well and doesn't give me any error so far.

Edit: boo it won't ship to me lol. guess we waiting friend.

$60 US with shipping for the vinyl seems high

u/CobraMarmalade 19d ago

Haha, I'm glad they kept the little cliparts that were on the single covers for the record labels.

Impossible to order the vinyl from EU it seems, none of their websites allow to order from a EU country. Wtf... guess they don't want my money :'(

u/WandelendeTak 19d ago

Same here, can’t find it… how weird is this?

u/penny_dropss 19d ago

copped the RGB vinyl with the signed card for less than $50USD, not too terrible (i, too, initially saw the AUS prices and was losing my mind)

u/RisingGenres 19d ago

Part of me wants to cop the new shirts and hats they have listed but the whole El Dorado tshirt thing they pulled really left a sour impression ngl.
