Unfortunately I can't find it now - Iikely deleted it. It could have been LRG but the tracking for this package was DHL. However, yesterday they handed it off to the USPS so it was delivered in the mail. I know we had COVID delays but most of that is over and it was worse than my former USPS experiences.

TDIRunner | 2,697 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If DHL is handling your shipment, it's going to be delayed regardless of COVID. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - but the email was about DHL - I got it much after an earlier notification (May 21) that LRG had received the collector's editions of the Obar Din and they would be shipping soon. I didn't look at it closely but the gist was that they were unhappy with something about DHL's performance. I didn't get a notification when it had shipped - not sure if LRG or DHL should have done that. Edit - I did get the Return of the Obar Dinn and To the Moon in two separate packages via USPS about an hour ago.

Tabonga | 2,289 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I did find this: https://limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/lrg-shipping-update DHL got the Obar Dinn on June 7th and the To the Moon on June 9th. I got notifications that they would be shipping soon on May 21 for Obar Din and To the Moon on May 5th. So it seems likely that LRG was sitting on them for quite awhile for some reason. (Maybe while they were deciding to switch (as it were) to DHL???) Edited June 15, 2021 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a whole thing a few weeks ago where LRG was switching TO DHL for their shipping. It caused a small uproar because people seem to not like DHL.

I didn't pay it much attention - but the wait with these two releases seems to be much more on LRG's end - 7 days or so for the game to get here once DHL gets it in their paws doesn't seem terribly outrageous.

Californication | 1,476 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) PSA: Pixel Heart has posted a ship date of July for Tanuki Justice and Wallachia PS4. They previously listed the first semester of 2021 (whatever that means) and just recently updated it to July so it seems legit. (Tanuki might be slightly cheaper on PlayAsia) Edited June 29, 2021 by Californication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumer | 221 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Holy cow...I almost missed Genesis and SNES carts of Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol! Just ordered today on the last day. I think I must have missed the announcement last month when I was on vacation. Glad they sent out a "reminder" email.

They reprinted the original style cartridges of both games for both systems in a standard color shell then an optional other style. They're $60 a piece.

Tanooki | 4,925 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I can't see doing that. I think I recall now that the game sadly is digital only, any format, so PC all the way, Switch probably not at all or gift card+discount at some point combined.

In terms of Zombies Ate My Neighbors they had working SNES carts, as well as PS4 and Switch editions. Again, nothing digital. The collectors and premium editions included a bunch of swag such as soundtrack CDs etc... cool stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,925 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Not sure how that got there, glitch? That was me referring to Diablo 2 Resurrected on switch. I know LRG is physical only, kind of their point of even existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Buy sold their stock like 2 years ago but LRG held back their preorder so they could sell it alongside SM Forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I was able to snag a Super Meat Boy for Vita this morning.

I think it's possible that they've been printed and Nicalis has just been holding off on selling them for some reason. At least, they said they would be released when the promo copies leaked out. I'm not sure if they've made any statements about them since then though. Also tried for Super Meat Boy, but wasn't quick enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,925 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Blame Sony, there's no winner here, just losers, including LRG that had no choice other than do something or do nothing at all. Lose lose, damned if you do or don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
