Well, I went with lavender, but still debating if I should've gone green. That's definitely a major downside for the blind release format. That, and the fact that in the immediate aftermath, it occurred to me that I didn't really know what the hell I was buying other than the artist and BNG were excited and said it was cool :lol: . The videos help a lot.

Sorry didn't see this. I mean I think its doing great? Feel like we end off with 250-300 on the timed. On a timed release, first and last day are always the biggest for sales so it could possibly go over this.

We sort of knew going into it that it was very different and not like any other release we've done before. Add up all the versions and I think Daniel did great. Should be proud of it. Plus it had some nice coverage on sites. Believe there is one doing an interview that should be out soon.

Can just attach it to your order. If you didn’t get the glass and bought, just buy it now and we’ll combine.

I wonder how many are going to get trashed by the shipping company. Have you guys ever done a large release with glass before?
