I guess I was waiting to take some pics, but my resale business eats up all of my pic taking time, so I'm just gonna post & discuss some of the vinyls I've gotten in the mail recently.
The one that I ordered w/ that awesome slipmat I posted earlier was the Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne 4 album soundtrack, and it is amazing. I remembered that game having some great music, but I had forgotten just how good it is. And the set is gorgeous too.
Secondly, I preordered the new Roxette album that came out last Friday. Technically they're going by the name PG Roxette, because Per Gessle (the guy half of the group) wanted to differentiate it from Roxette now that Marie has passed. I got it in the mail Tuesday I believe - crim you're right, many overseas companies kick the crap out of US companies on the shipping front. I also order a good bit from Play-Asia (much less the past couple of years, but that's only because I'm buying far fewer games period) and their shipping is amazing - they package stuff up extremely well. Amazon US just throws crap in a envelope - padded if you're lucky - and just lets nature take its course.
Lastly, my Scott Pilgrim the game soundtrack *finally* came in from Limited Run. I ordered it back in January...2021. Yeah, they took almost **2 years** to fulfill that order. That is absolutely ridiculous. They kept claiming a "worldwide vinyl shortage", meanwhile everyone else I ordered from was fulfilling their orders in a very timely manner. Heck, that Nocturne soundtrack took about a week to get to me from the day they put it up for sale & I placed the order. That was from Fangamer btw - I wanna plug the good guys.
Them & Mondo are awesome - some of Mondo's stuff has a few months lead time but they let you know when you order when it will be shipping and from my experience generally stick to it.
EDIT: Here are some stock photos of what I got:

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis
Anna’s Quest is a cute P&C adventure, but as with a lot of them I got frustrated constantly having to go online to figure out the puzzles. I haven’t played Mortal Kombat XL yet, but I played the Mortal Kombat before it and it was a big improvement over the previous games IMO. The story is like an MK movie, it’s really good. Deadfall Adventures is fun, it’s almost like a first person Uncharted with shooting, platforming and puzzles. I enjoyed it, and feel that it should be better known than it is.
