Note: Reply to this email if you want to change your shipping address! View this email in your browser With the end of March approaching, we wanted to send an update to all who have pre-ordered the Street Fighter II The Definitive Soundtrack 4-LP Box Set regarding order processing and shipping. As we reported a few days ago on Twitter, manufacturing is complete and all units are ready for shipping!



We partnered with Toyo Kasei, Japan's last remaining vinyl manufacturer, for every aspect of the box set: from the colored wax to the booklet, sleeves, and box housing. We chose Toyo Kasei because of their unparalleled experience in providing pressing and package printing solutions to Japan's largest music labels at an exceptional quality! We're confident that buyers will immediately notice how amazing the entire package looks and feels once they receive it.



The Box Set was initially offered in two versions: one shipping to North America, and another to Europe and Australia. They are physically identical and have no differences whatsoever.



We will be shipping the European version from London through a fulfillment partner. We will shortly begin the mass shipment of several hundred box sets from Tokyo to London via Air Freight. We are taking care of the customs paperwork with our logistics partner, so our customers in the European Union don't have to deal with paying duty or any other extra charges. The customs clearance process does take some time to complete, but ideally customers should begin receiving their Box Sets in the first week or second week of April, depending on their location.



On the other hand, the North American version is going to take just a little bit longer to begin shipping to customers due to the greater complexities of bringing cargo into the United States compared to the European Union. We don't anticipate the process to take more than a few days, and we are hoping that orders ship out to customers by the second week of April. The great news is that we are partnering with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) for the dispatch of orders, which will ensure a high level of customer service once shipping begins. For those who have yet to pre-order the Box Set, we still have a very small allocation of the North American version remaining for pre-order on our Bandcamp for $85.00 plus $17.00 shipping. Once it's gone, a third print run may take as much as six months, which we may or may not do depending on demand. We are also hoping to begin selling the Box Set on the US Amazon.com website, so we'll have more news on this later on.



Lastly, if you need to have a change of address, please notify us as soon as possible by emailing us at genseries [at] bravewave [dot] net or replying to this email.



We want to thank all of those who have pre-ordered the Box Set and have been patient with us as we wind down on the final stages of dispatch! âˆ™ âˆ™ âˆ™ âˆ™ âˆ™ And if youâ€™re in the mood for more about the history and goings-on with Brave Wave, check out the first episode of our new podcast, Wavelength.
