I just managed to nab one - they went out of stock after about 20 seconds - I have been religiously checking Roughtrade 200 times a day and noticed they put the 'set back in stock notification ' this morning and have been checking non stop carrying my phone everywhere. so may be worth doing this.

That's great, congrats on getting one. Now you won't have to check your phone 200 times a day anymore.

Today's release day -- I wonder if they canceled suspicious / duplicate orders or if they simply withheld some until today. Either way, glad to see a fellow collector and fan get one instead of a reseller.

Thank you! I'm so chuffed, this was right up there in my wants  and can't wait to add it to my collection, I was hoping and had a funny feeling they would relist a few after seeing the webpage change this morning  - i did notice all my Roughtrade back in stock notifications from the past couple of years  (about 30 that i checked) all arrived at either 34 or 35 minutes past the hour - most at 08.34 or 08.35 am GMT UK time and a few at 19.34 or 19.35 GMT  which i had never noticed before - i was staring at the webpage when it went back in stock and nearly had another heart attack!  

Did anybody else order one today?

Hey 5816nick! Sorry, I meant to reply to this before but forgot.

I also managed to nab one when it was re-listed. I noticed there were 2. I assume I got one and you got the other.

Yes Amazing if there were only 2 relisted!

I was logged in ready staring at the screen when it went back into stock. We were very  lucky but I had been staring at the screen in anticipation for hours as I guessed if they were going to relist any then it may be on the actual release day - only time that's ever happened to me!

A very small overrun was printed, in case of any damaged or missing orders.  There were a couple of days there where neither Rough Trade nor the courier could say exactly where my order was.  During that time, I was in close contact with the Rough Trade warehouse manager, who put aside one of the spare copies for me.  In the end, mine arrived safe and sound, and the spare that was being held for me was released to the public.  There’s every chance that the one you purchased, Nick, is the spare that was being held for me.  I didn’t say anything at the time, but you posted about buying yours shortly after I had confirmed to Rough Trade that my copy had arrived.

Hey Stepeanut, that's amazing and just brought a smile to my face! 

Had your copy not turned up then i probably wouldn't have mine! 

When ordering my copy, I was panicking / rushing as i knew it could sell out at any second, and in my haste I chose normal / non tracked mail and I was convinced it was a computer glitch and wouldn't turn up - so glad when it did as I'm a massive fan.

I’m really pleased that it went to a proper fan, Nick.  I did try to secure the spare for a close friend, who had missed out, but Rough Trade wouldn’t go for that — understandably so.  The fairest way was to release the spares to the public without any fanfare, to give the keenest fans the best opportunity to secure a copy.

It would have irritated me, if “my” spare had gone to an eBay scalper, but I had no control over that.  I still can’t say for sure, but the likelihood is that it went to you, which makes me very happy.

I know what you mean — it’s probably the busiest area of the print — but it seems churlish to nitpick.  This is an amazing item that I’m thrilled to own.

Glad you managed to get one.  Look forward to seeing a photo once you have it in hand.
