Halloween 2020 Merchandise

[IOA Explorer]

Anybody else notice on the online store, and the rest of the merch, they've removed all the "30 Years, 30 Fears" slogan? I'm glad I got my shirts when it was still on there! I know they're probably saving it for next year when it'll still be the 30th anniversary but still.

PS: If this has already been discussed, sorry, the other pages aren't loading for me at the moment.

The vinyl is now $300 on eBay. I don't do vinyl, but I would like the buy the music either digitally or CD.

It does say specifically Limited Edition Red Vinyl, so switch to any other color and UO can get that money.

I would say another Vinyl would be unfair to everyone that bought it. A CD would be another option that could be good but I also think that they will release the music on Spotify later

Not unfair at all, that's kinda how the market is right now. There were about 10 different variants for Halloween (2018) OST. Many new records come out nowadays and it has several variants on launch day (Indie retail, Urban Outfitters variants, webstore variant, etc). Even videogame soundtracks and cartoon soundtracks come out with 2-3 variants (the Hey Arnold soundtrack released in july had 3 variants and 1 test pressing variant). Almost every album in the world has at least one colored variant.

I have nothing against another Version but if they sell it as limited Vinyl then it should be limited and not just another Vinyl with color

 

[jorgerr96]

It is limited to 500 in red. IF they do another pressing they could just do a mass release in black, or maybe a variant of a different color limited to 1000 or a different number. That's how it's usually done. Trust me, the limited to 500 will not lose much of its value if they do a second pressing. When Billie Eilish's first EP got released on vinyl it sold out and it sky rocketed in price, and then the red version came out that was available everywhere, but the yellow is still sold at high prices because collectors are aware that the color was limited.

Now, if they do another pressing in red, then yeah that would be unfair, but since they are all hand numbered I don't see a second red pressing happening.

Apparently the original idea for the LE vinyl was going to be 1000 but marketing dumbed it down to 500, I guess I heard they might have a batch available today in the store, idk how true that is but it could be possible like mentioned before with high demand, also Fright Nights 1991 pin is now available in the store, I forgot to mention it and get it, I was too focused like everyone else was on snagging a vinyl lol.

That tri-color one is awesome! Hoping to score one. Quite an expensive week for vinyl collectors with RSD on saturday lol

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Tricolor is fake.

Marketing is a curse on this event.

Thats true still can't forgive them to cancel the caretaker from HHN 27 and changing it to a sweepstake and no Icon

 

[Pedro Navarro]

I mean Universal is basically putting out as much as they can and have available for this year and I'm sure majority of stuff is being shelved for next year's line of merch with hopeful upgrades or something but yeah I don't think they were expecting to sell out that vinyl immediately as for the tri-color or Italian looking import as one of my friends called it, it's not real, but honestly, I wouldn't pass it if marketing looks at it and tries to make it actually happen lol.

It’s a profitable curse though.

The worst part of the vinyl fiasco is that only 16 of the people that bought it actually own a way to play it...

You would be surprised how many people own a record player. A lot of people also bought a stranger things record player in a special edition sold by target

Could be more profitable if there were more stock to go around on certain items.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Rumor is there will be another reprint.

 

[ultimateforce]

Rumor is any time a vinyl soundtrack product tie in is released half of the comments will be from people who feel superior for owning a record player.

I adjusted my monocle to read this.

I wonder how many crappy "briefcase" Crosleys were sold yesterday and today...
