Omg, take a look at the LDR store!!! The yellow "sold out" boxes are back on some of the items, while the other sold out things have the same format as always. The last two times this happened we got new merch the next day. This only ever happens when they appear to be messing with the site behind the scenes. DOES THIS MEAN NEW MERCH TOMORROW?!?!?! WILL IT BE THE ROSARY NECKLACE??!??!

i look for you in magazines

Here she is!

No, it's plain. There's just a barcode sticker on the bottom

Yeah! it's that little tin next to it, with the black felt! I'm so happy to have one, because there was no way I was ever going to spend $300 on ebay for the old versions

Lighter has arrived! Pictured with a cassette and air freshener for size comparison:

I've had the air fresheners just sitting out on a table in my room all day and they smell a bit more cherry-like now as opposed to just sticking them right up to my nose. Well, rather, they smell like cherry scented car fresheners rather than cherry anything... haha. I love them though. Have you emailed them? They told me to allow 30 days for delivery from the UK to the US (and they ended up coming from Malmö, Sweden... that must be were they were printed idk). It definitely shouldn't be taking this long. I think it took like 33 days for mine. I would ask for a replacement copy or a refund at this point

I already forgot this existed and it's only been like three days

They are!! They're described as cherry scented, but honestly they kinda just smell like.... a generic car freshener? Like I don't think I would recognize them as cherry scented if I didn't know. I don't mind though because I bought them for their looks anyway. I've noticed this too... everything is selling all of a sudden for so much more than even just a few months ago. I wonder if it's because her new album recently came out and that's caused a renewed interest in her past discography among collectors and fans. Hopefully the new higher prices aren't permanent, they were already crazy to begin with. Just a few months ago you could get the LFL coke vinyl for around $200, now they're all like $250+. Same increase with everything else. Even things like the red BTD, the Violet variants, and even the blue RSD COCC exclusive has noticeably increased in list price recently. I feel like it was around $50 a few months ago, now on ebay they're all like $65-$75!

If this rumor is true, by the time it comes out tiktok will be over it

Ooh and my air fresheners from LDR village just shipped too!!! What a day

Ugh same! They've sent so many "confirm you want it" emails I have this huge fear they're gonna say I never clicked confirm. But they also said the lighter wouldn't ship till May 22 so this is a pleasant surprise it's coming now

My lighter just shipped!!!!

So when and where do we buy it..... bc I am pretty indifferent about a cover shared with someone else but I still need it in my collection

Oh it turned out to be a scam unfortunately, though to be honest I was 50/50 on whether it was real to begin with, I only risked it because of PayPal's moneyback guarantee. I've already started the claim process. Guess my list of scammed vinyl list will now be two (the other was the UV boxset). It was on Discogs, but not one of those obviously fake listings for like $80 from new sellers that pop up everyday, it was someone who had 100% positive feedback but it appears now it was a real account that was hacked. The scammer just took photos off old Mercari listings to trick me and photoshopped their name into it. Oh well, guess I really will have to pay $500+ for it. I'm only 3 vinyl away from having a complete collection so at this point I'm willing to pay it just to have everything

I know this has nothing to do with DYK merch but I either just got a "bargain" on the Love heart-shaped vinyl for only $200 or I'll be making a fraud claim to paypal and my credit card in a few weeks.... wish me luck

Just got another email to click to confirm I want my racing jacket. I've already gotten this email and had already clicked that yes, I want to keep my order. wtf

Every time I've ever thought that about Lana stuff, I have always regretted it.... oh how much money I would've saved if I could tell my past self to buy things

Idk unfortunately. I ordered around 12:30 eastern US time and there were about 6,500 left then. So if it went up for sale at 11am, I'd guess based on that it probably started around 8k? I don't think a lot of the online exclusives are that limited... the white vinyl seems to have been about 12k for a first pressing and 12k for the second pressing shipping next month. And that's just the US numbers. The picture disc initially was 5k on the US store, then they added 2k more, then they added more stock a 3rd time but I didn't keep an eye on the availability at that point, but the picture disc has got to be over at least over 10k.

you just have to right click and view page source, then search for "inventory_quantity"... there's 4,077 copies left on the US store

You'll definitely get vinyl enthusiasts telling you not to do that and say that over time the shrinkwrap will tighten and cause the records to warp. I'm not sure over what kind of timeline this happens but personally I've never had a problem with even ten year old records still being sealed

Omg I don't think I've ever been so distressed trying to place an order as fast as I could.... Whew, my copy is ordered. But where are the matching CD and cassette? I have all the others for each vinyl and this new variant will look so naked if it's all alone.... pun intended .

The barcodes are the same unfortunately. the only way to tell them apart is the Canadian ones have either a "made in Canada" sticker on the back, or "made in Canada" directly printed on the shrinkwrap

I have both and you're right it doesn't look as clear as the one I have in person... but the Canadian one I have has a blueish periwinkle color to it exactly like in this photo, while the French one has like a greyish tint to it and looks nothing like the color in this photo. Maybe I'll take a photo of mine over the inner sleeves to compare
