    So what's everyone been doing with their copies after opening them?

    Interesting.
    I might be wrong but I'm quite confident that it's fan made. The domain was registered after the EP was announced and the code is also a bit weird, for instance it's missing Google Analytics, the css is hosted on an external website and the background image is a quick edit of an image that has been circulating for at least 2-3 years (quick reverse image search: link).

    I also don't get how the circuitry would fit with the narrative and the visuals that we have seen so far.

    did you order other stuff or just the physical component? I fear that my order will be dispatched in "spring 2017" together with the vinyls I ordered.

    If you worried about that contact firebrand. Sounds like everyone that's wants it before the vinyls ship is getting their way after speaking to firebrand.

    Just the component in this one, I ordered the vinyls separately. The subject does make it sound like they would potentially do several separate shipments for one order, but I have no way of confirming this. Your best bet is contacting them.

    I'm sending mine back to Firebrand and asking them to send me an email confirmation FIRST like they said they would and then send it back.

    Has anyone taken exact measurements of the pages for framing purposes? I'll redirty my hands when i get home if need be, but I wanted to see if anyone else had the measurements handy first.

    I work for the post office and that always slows things down. FedEx, UPS, DHL, newgistics all hand off stuff to us. Mostly smaller things that fit in mailbox.

    I should be getting it tomorrow since it came from DHL into my local USPS plant in St. Paul earlier today! Yay!

    It started in California on Feb 23!

    I'm not in the EU but I would assume this goes for them too, but I ordered the Deviations and NTAE in the same order, and I just got NTAE in the mail on its own (without an email at all, so who knows)

    Maybe I'm being too hopeful, but what if the "subversive elements leading to euphoria" are tickets for shows, VIP tickets or something like that on select copies?
    it MAY contain those elements...
    Wishful thinking, regretful thinking. Couldn't buy one.

    This is the second time I've seen NIN refer to something as subversive. It was used to describe alot of things in the Year Zero universe that didn't comply with the Government.

    To me the package resembles a crime scene and the powder is the stuff they use for fingerprinting.

    Well...I guess they ARE cards, being sent through the post...

    Gah, what little I've seen of these things is rad as hell. It's great that they aren't all exactly the same, too - very nice touch. In hindsight, having the same cards in every package wouldn't be nearly as cool.

I'd especially like to get some good images of the backs of these sheets; there are some fun details in there. Seemingly left-over impressions from other prints, etc... I seem to have a different set of impressions on the back of my credits card, for instance (and I don't seem to have the NIN logo or halo designation on mine, too).

    Anyway, enjoy! I'll be keeping tabs on this thread (and the other NTAE Variations thread), and updating as more images are posted.
    Nice, may I add that all my 3 Halo29 are from different packages but unfortunaly look the same, and they all are black, the yellow look is just light reflection.
    It's clear that you cannot read Nine at all, it may be a choice, or there may be other style.
    Please note that I took good shots of front&back of all my cards before wrapping it up back definitively, and didn't shared them yet.
    Edit : I just realized the first serie I published doesn't have the same color than me, it may be interresting that I post my own shots, that's the serie where halo 29 is barely visible

    Opened mine using tissue paper and baby wipes which worked wonders cleaning. I'll post the pics in the appropriate thread. Was a lot of fun and although I was going to use gloves I think getting your hands dirty is part of the experience.
