We love our fans and we hear your concerns. We also couldn’t be happier to welcome so many new fans to what we do. We can’t wait to show all of you why this release is so special. - Mondo

I sent them a message

For those who ordered it before the Pre-Order phase, please do share your thoughts with Mondo about this.

Are you put off or just happy to get one? I could see overseas people being more upset than us but I'm not sure how serious collectors can be. I've read plenty of threads here to just see how serious some are but I don't know if collectors take as much pride in having something versus having something truly limited.

There are only 4,000 so I'd think it is still rare.

To be honest, I am happy to secure one. I just love Olly Moss' work, and also Gustavo Santaolalla's soundtracks for TLOU is one of the best.

I would consider 4,000 Units with a price of $75 is actually a lot. As you can see, they are still taking pre-orders. Not many people can spend $75, and don't even mention those who stay overseas.

I do like the idea to have a label or sticker to differentiate the first press edition and the later ones. That is a bonus for us collectors, and those who wait patiently for it as it was first launched.

I can see your points. $75 is high but the thing does have four LP's, no? In my mind, with that in mind, it's not overly excessive. If they had done two versions, one with two LP's only or separated out The Last of Us and Left Behind, that would have added to the uniqueness but they decided to put all four together. I can see it both ways but I, like you, can say that because I got one of the early ones.

To me $75 for 4 LPs are not expensive. I was just putting myself in their shoes that said $75 is too much. Sorry I was confusing.

Cant wait to get mine tho.. seeing those who live in Texas already got theirs!

Most international buyers wouldn't be willing to pay that much, but The Last of Us is one of my favourite games of all time and Naughty Dog is by far my favourite developer of all time so it was worth it for me.

Yeah shipping and import fees would be over 100 dollars, probably more.

Then I will help you find out the shipping to UK.

Huh, so shipping for 2 to the US is 7 dollars?

Something to think about mate I might take you up on it. I've kinda been spending a lot lately though with PC upgrades and MGS5 coming out soon. I'll let you know.

I think the price is fine, just the shipping will kill it to here UK charge VAT/import charges on the price of the product AND the shipping, god damned rip off

I was speaking to a reviewer who lives in japan, he said he can mark the stuff he gets as 'review samples' and not get charged. Wonder if that would work over here?

Yup, I placed 2 orders in the cart and it charged me $7 to ship to my address.

Bout UK import duty.. I helped Redmagster last time by declaring a lower value, so she could totally avoid the duty so i guess it works.

I'd also be willing to help those looking to order this one. I know I'm new here, but once I get mine I could box it up and calculate shipping to the UK (and other places) for you at least (I'm in Utah, so I may get mine sooner than others).

As for the pre-order thing, I'm not upset about it, but I am familiar with Mondo's runs, which don't tend to be "ultra-limited". In fact, in a way I'm glad others can enjoy this, because if I want to listen to this I won't have to worry too much about ruining the discs, and having to replace them. I always worry about housefires, etc, and having to replace what I own.

As someone that is in Texas, I still haven't got my shipment notification yet
