IIRC Deviations 1 had a quite limited retail rollout as well, many months after the NIN.com store was (badly) shipping it... they started selling it on tour for a bit, then it was in brick-and-mortar shops. Don't think the price has gone down that much, but your local retailer may vary. I don't feel badly for retailers under-cutting the NIN.com store, especially if it's a local shop that undercuts it. Screw Live Nation!

My With Teeth DE 2xLP arrived completely crushed on one corner. Looks like a pile of heavy items had been stored on top of it in transit. I'm having a 2017 vinyl deja vu. Delivery was "snail mail" (2nd Class Royal mail) at a busy time. I'd have paid more for faster shipping but it wasn't an option. A real dampner, was looking forward to getting this. What is it win NIN vinyl & shipping...
1 week on & not so much as a sniff at a returns label from them (yet). A replacement has to be asked for in letter with the return aparently, but its hard to return anything when you don't have returns details.
Frustrating to say the least. Perhaps they are low stock. Maybe I won't see a WT replacement before xmas. Too bad as I ordered this as soon as it was released.
I noticed that the UK store stock of With Teeth is now down to about 20 (from 30+ on Friday) so I ordered another copy last night since there is no sign of a quick replacement forthcoming from customer services (nor even a return slip/form). It's annoying to have to do things this way at extra personal expense. They are certainly not exceeding my expectations right now. Hope the 2nd order doesn't get crushed in the Christmas mail like the last copy.
Do records get restocked? I dragged my feet on buying TDS and now I see it's sold out. What are the chances of it returning?
There are a couple of new items in the store, including a "The NIN" / Dr. Manhattan shirt and sweatshirt that includes a Null logo that looks like the Nothing logo. First time I've seen that logo and I wonder if it's a one-off thing for the alternate universe created for Watchmen or if it'll be used for Null going forward.
There is also a pile of dirt added to the "Objects" category. It is called "Blue Sunday" and costs $195. And you can't buy it. If you press add to cart, you get a message that it cannot ship to your location. The item description:

I don't care about watchmen or the soundtrack, but I do like that hoody, so I'm gonna grab one.
Only trent can create merch for a fake album and have his fans buy it lol.
I really wish the pale horse shirt would become real merch....

Yeah, if I didn't already have a half-dozen black hoodies, I'd grab that Manhattan Project hoodie for sure.
Exactly. It could have the trademark circle for Dr. Manhattan at the top, or it could just be Fear Inoculum. I wish the band photo shirt was on the US store too. Is what it is.
Edit: Okay, I am wrong. We know what the full logo looks like, albeit blood-scrawled and pieced together.

Phish did this last year with Kasvot Växt. They even covered the "fake" album as the band for their Halloween show. And of course there's merch.
Pretty cool even if you don't enjoy that type of music.
