As some of you know, Greybox and I have been combining efforts to get some of the vinyl records only available thru the European Square-Enix store over to the states for NA members to enjoy. All Greybox has shipped over to me in the states are FF7 vinyls so far, yet Square just introduced preorders for a limited edition Chrono Cross/ Trigger vinyl, as well as a limited edition FF8 album. The CC/T is limited to 150 pressings, so it's quite limited (even though it has, in fact, been up for a few days so far and still no signs of "only "x" amount left"). Also, there is a sale currently for the FF7 vinyl for 15% off, yet there is only 2 left in stock. They have restocked this a few times, but I wouldn't expect the 15% off when they get stocked again.
So, my question here is who would be interested in one, two, or all three of the records. Here is the link to see the three available, and the initial cost:

The process goes like this:
1. Greybox orders the albums from the store, getting them delivered to him. This is the first extra cost (shipping to Grey from the Square store)... shipping is cheaper the more records we get (you will pay for this up-front as Grey needs this as the initial cost for everything)
2. Grey packages all the vinyls together (or in two boxes and so on if there's that much demand for them) and mails them to me; this is the second extra cost
3. I get them in the states, and mail them to you guys (third, smallest additional charge as I will send it media mail for around $3.50 or so).
Overall, I believe the total cost of each vinyl has been around $70-80 (USD) each after all the shipping costs (which defiantly add up). Again, this is the third "order" we'll be taking; the first two have been flawless and quite speedy factoring in the multiple shipping and whatnot (yet this time will take longer as the two new vinyls are preorders, yet they are both expected this month at some point).
Also, I will send them to Canada, yet shipping from me to you will be more in that case; if multiple members get them in Canada, I could send all the vinyls that the Canadian members order to one person, and they could distribute them as I would be doing in the states; or Grey could just send to you directly.
It's defiantly not cheap for a vinyl, yet it's defiantly worth it if you're into FF, Chrono, and/or vinyl collecting. I'm going to grab a CC/T and FF8 pressing for sure.
I'll leave this thread open until Square runs out, and eventually restocks the FF7 album. Yet, as the FF8 and CC/T ones are limited (again, CC/T is only 150 pressings), if the FF7 albums don't get restocked relatively quick, we will just carry out the order for the other two vinyls.
I look forward to going thru this process again and bringing some joy to the vinyl collectors out there!
