Magical Chase soundtrack release

[Bardoly]

Well, I'm still communicating back and forth with CD Japan about a possible multi-purchase discount.  I'm also trying to figure out what the difference between the 'regular' and 'collectible' releases.  Once I have the difference determined, then I'll start a Group Buy thread and verify who still wants to do this.  I'm sure that doing a group buy with at least 10 orders placed will save everyone $5-10 (more if more people sign up) on this because of the international shipping charges.

So was that the regular version or the "collectible" edition?

thats the collectible version... the other version will be sent out later this month from cdjapan

So, this one cost you 4325 yen, and the other one cost you 2500 yen?

Well Shadow, I have bad news for you.
I have been e-mailing back and forth with CD Japan, and after asking what the differences were between the cheaper version and the more expensive version, here's my question...

...And here's the answer that I finally got.

Hi,

Thank you for your mail.

The two CDs are the same.

The more expensive one was a customized order
via our personal shopping service where we purchase items from
other websites which are not sold at our website with additional commission.

At that time we did not sell the product below at our website
so we had a request from a customer to purchase it from another website.

Unfortunately we are not aware of the wholesale policies of other websites
so you will have to directly contact them to find that out.
We do not offer at wholesale prices.
We only give out reward points after the purchase.

Sincerely,
Mana Miyamoto

  - I was kind of hoping that there was a 'collectible' release with something really cool packaged with the soundtrack.

Hopefully you can get a refund of the difference in price.

Oh man, rough.  Do they have the Dragon Spirits one? I'd go for that!

I would be laughing my ass off at the tragedy of Shadow blowing hundreds of dollars on multiple copies of a soundtrack but since he's apparently the winner of the Pan European Mega Millions lottery I'm sure its nothing to him at all.

I'd be interested in a group buy.

[esteban]

Yay! No bullsh*t special edition garbage releases.

Hopefully you can get a refund of the difference in price.
