Title: LE FAQ
Post by: Travis on July 18, 2010, 03:11:15 PM
Looks like there are so many new Limited Edition buyers since the last LE some basic information needs to be restated.

The most asked question is by far and away, "can I get number 13". I would say 20 percent who ordered the LE asked that.
The LEs are sent out first come first serve. The first person to order got #1 and so forth.

Next is "can you have Buckethead sign this". Well thats sorta the whole idea here isn\'t it. Bucket and Brain and Melissa have signed each one and Buckethead numbered them.

"How many will there be?". We have never stated how many there will be on a limited edition. One, it\'s more fun that way and two, we don\'t know. For sure though, these are limited and it will end.

"Why should I buy all this music without hearing it". Well if your asking that question you shouldn\'t. No one in their right mind would do that. This is for collectors who are not in their right mind and want the collectors item first and hope for the best next. Otherwise wait. People will post about the music and see the next FAQ.

Will the be a non limited version. As with all other LEs, yes there will be a non-limited version and samples will be available then for that so an informed purchase can be made. This will probably happen a few months after the LE ends. See the FAQ above.

Other odds and ends:

As with other LEs, I suggest you back up your discs and set the box set aside. It\'s a collector item and its value will depend on it\'s condition.

Also, these are hand made. No two are alike. They are not perfect and not meant to be. Each one has a personality. If those imperfections get to the point of being annoying, let me know and I will remedy your concerns.
If you have any other problems with the discs or box you can\'t live with, let me know. And of coarse if you have a dud or otherwise messed up set, I will make sure your taken care of.

Lastly, thank you everyone who is not in their right mind who has participated. I hope it\'s been as much fun for you as it is for us.

Well addressed Travis. As one of the mental ones I gotta confirm that it certainly has been a lot of fun so far ;D

Thanks, this will be really helpful for people new to this kind of thing.
Even though you can\'t say how many will be made, can you say how many have been sold this far?
I was also one of those who are out of my mind. Bought it instantly after I realised it was a new Limited Edition.
Are you also able to clarify the rumour of there being a total of 3 sets? It\'s on Brain and Melissa\'s site. You probably can\'t say, but it would be nice to have an official word on it.
 ;)

Anyway, MASSIVELY looking forward to getting mine. I think I have a pretty low number! I hope I don\'t get slapped with the import duties... Stupid Royal Mail. >:( ;)

Thank You, Travis

You pointed out everything i hoped and i agree with most of it.

I bought this because it was of a limited quantity and i am happy to be a part of the anticipation of everything.

No matter how the music is on the cds, it is still a great buy and everyone who buys it for the right reasons will agree as well!

THANK YOU TRAVIS!

i know this has been said before, but i guess some people are a bit anal about having a low number.

that dosen\'t matter to me, i\'d just be glad to have any number, it\'s still signed by Big B and Brain for god sake!  that\'s all that matters to me.  8) ;D

And think of it this way, the more digits in the number the more Buckethead writes on your set.  So big numbers are actually better.   ;D

Oh, and I loveTravis\' comments about us not being in our right minds.  Too funny and too true.

Buyer from the UK here, saw this on the website and just had to snap it up as soon as possible. Shipping costs from TDRS have always been fair and I\'ll be keeping this is amazing condition. From what I\'ve seen on Wikipedia, this is apparently number one of three volumes? Is that true?

Maybe. It\'s been hinted at, but there isn\'t anything official or fully reliable yet. If it is, I hope it\'s released in enough time for me to save up another $90... :-/
I will NOT be a happy bunny if I can\'t get it.

I\'ll be doing everything I can to have that money saved just in case it comes sooner rather than later.

hey, also a UK buyer here. Where did you guys hear that this was "maybe" the first of a few parts?
So there would be like a "Best Regards 2"?

It must have been added to the Wiki page for it in the past day, I\'ve checked it often for updates of new information. Here\'s the link:

I can only imagine what number I\'d get.

What do you think I\'d get realistically if I ordered mine (purchased and receipt received) on the 17th?
Title: Re: LE FAQ
Post by: Alex R on July 19, 2010, 10:35:22 AM
^I don\'t know for certain, but maybe between #200-250?

That\'s cool, I\'m down with a triple digit number. When I get my copy I\'ll be sure to post pictures to share. I know some will have their own to look at but I\'ll just be too thrilled to keep it to myself. May as well let other like-minded fans have an eyeful, eh?
