You ordered it months ago...SAE must have placed the order months ago too... :/ Production plant troubles, see above. I ordered mine at Intrada in March, right now the Austrian customs office has it. I'll finally be able to hold it in my hands when I'm back from the US at the beginning of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 yeah, but since february there have been several mails about it being 'back in stock' at different times. it seems strange that SAE did no get their batch in one of those...

Probably not enough to fulfill all back orders. Funny enough, my own copy was shipped right after they announced that they won't have proper stock for a while yet (and Intrada still listed it as out of stock afterwards, so they didn't get enough copies to send out all orders and still have copies left at least).

rough cut 1,714 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 For those of you who had to order replacement discs - were you not able to play the discs, or was it that the discs had visual defects (like a minor scratch but still played fine)?

In my case it was the latter. I checked my copy with EAC and it ripped error free. However I did request a replacement and promptly received it today. LLL customer service is superb. Sadly a few of my other recent LLL purchases have the same issue (and I've not had the time to check them yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 So you wouldn't complain regarding a disc that's scratched so it affects playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yes, but I understand that in this case it is the opposite of that. Nothing wrong with that I guess, and kudos to LLL for helping customers with specialized neeeds when it is debatable whether the product is faulty or not.

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Well, it can be argued that when purchasing a new product, it should look new. And that's also an important point if one's contemplating selling some of one's soundtrack albums in the future, when they're OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yes, but sometimes it is impossible to guarantee that a product is absolutely, guaranteed, hands-down flawless. Even though a lot of releases are called “collectors edition” we’re still talking about mass produced, factory made products - not hand cut diamonds. To make another analogy, if you buy a pair of Levi’s, maybe it’s ok that somewhere there’s a seam that’s not perfect. But, as I said, kudos to LLL for listening to and handling these requests with top-notch service. I’d say it goes beyond what anybody can expect.

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The fact is that, with thousands of CD albums in my collection, and just slightly more than a dozen LLL releases, I've had more serious manufacturing defects pertaining to the LLL albums than all the other albums combined. That speaks volumes of LLL's lack of quality control. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I’m not saying anything against “serious” complaints. I just think it’s interesting that LLL can handle micro scratches with the same dignity as a faulty disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Again, I don’t think anyone here berates a fellow JWfan for not having time to listen to a bought CD... Life sometimes gets in the way of how much and when we are able to get our JW fix! 😉 I think, however, that it sounded as if the CDs stayed unopened for the sake of collecting. That might’ve irked some people. It’s just like that sad story in Home Alone 2. When Kevin finally opened those ice scates, they had micro scratches. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
