Hey Brian sorry if this is a noob Q, but I’ve never preordered a new release before; when is Elevation going to start shipping?

Also, any further eta on outsider slipcase? I think we’re closing in on 6 months since release date...thank you kind sir.

Elevation will be shipping soon... I believe S&S sent our 8 or 10 pallets or however many via some kind of mule driven system. Sorry about the wait!

THE OUTSIDER slipcase will be in the warehouse in about two weeks, and Dan is cracking the whip on the warehouse staff (just him and New Dan right now) to keep things moving!

Anyone want to see a photo or two of the first finished OUTSIDER slipcase they sent us for approval?

Thx for the prompt update. No worries on the wait

Can we refer to New Dan as Dan 2.0 instead just to passive aggressively make Dan Prime feel like he isn’t doing enough?

And as far as the photo goes...do it. Sext us with your slip pics Brian

Considering the type of personality "New Dan" has, he'd probably prefer to be refereed to as the "Beta Model" or something like that. Be careful trying to make me think I'm not doing enough, I have control over which orders ship first

[Brian James Freeman]

Dan will hate me for showing this to anyone, ha...



We JUST got that final final approval to approve the fit and stamping one last time (better to find a problem now before 8 pallets are shipped!), and it'll take at least a week for the case maker to finish the run and then pack everything, and then the pallets will be crossing the country via freight...

So yep, I'm showing this off way too early AND begging folks not to bug Dan and Mindy yet about when these will ship because they will give me hell about it... ha!

Also... Old Dan, Original Dan, Prime Dan... vs New Dan, Dan 2.0, Dan 2: The Danning... Hmmmm....

Re: that slipcase pic above... there is a hit of RED for the eyes, it's hard to show well in a photo, but it looks great in person.

Those two little spots might seem like a small thing, but adding them was actually an extra splurge Richard gave the greenlight to even though it meant a 4th stamping plate had to made, the red foil had to be added to the job, and actually stamping the eyes added an extra "hit" on the case that wasn't in the quote, etc, all of which add up fast... but geez, without the red eyes, it just isn't the same, you know??

Damn you Obi-Dan Kenobi for putting me into checkmate. I have no choice but to commend your efforts thus far and to offer my praises to your new padawan Dannakin Skywalker!

And the pic looks great Brian - well worth the wait. I shall now reactivate my mailchimp acct so I can bludgeon your squad with Shipping ETA inquires

I thought Dan maybe cloned himself so he could enjoy more Marvel movies and audiobooks

Spoiler:

Dan, Brian said my Outsider case should have been delivered today. What gives, man!

Awesome looking case and thanks for the added touch!

You THINK you're kidding, but he probably will get a few of those emails next week and Mindy will get a few, and then I'll be hiding in the production closet, trying to answer emails on my phone for the rest of the day!

What's that? I think your order just fell off my desk and slid under a filing cabinet... Oh well... :p

Seriously,

The eyes make the whole slipcase worth it. Who ever made that call JOB WELL DONE!

[Tommy]

Love the case! Can you make the eyes glow in the dark as well?

[amd013]

I want laser beams!

D'oh!!

Just got my Lettered Gwendy's by the Letter on the Coin doesn't match the Letter in the Book. Had requested Y to match by Doubleday years. The coin is 'Y', but the book is 'YY'.

I guess they already realized the mistake because Mindy sent me an email yesterday to check for this. So I am confident they will resolve the issue.

One complication is that I ordered a Keith Minion remarque, so I hope book 'Y' has one.

Maybe I should keep the rare mismatched coin/book variant? LOL.

Just curious if some one on this site got coin "YY" and book "Y"

[amd013]

Should also mention, really love the remarque's. Got one for both the numbered and Lettered. Was worried that Keith Minion would pull a David Palumbo and make them all the same. But mine are different, and I love both. Gotta go soon, so I will post pictures tomorrow.

I have to agree. Outstanding slipcase, and the eyes definitely make all the difference.

You missed one. Got a shipping notice today And no, it wasn't for the slipcase so no one

My "Gwendy's Button Box" S/L'd offer has been moved to collectible classifieds

[Beverly Marsh]

Speaking of The Outsider slipcase....when will they be shipping?

Just kidding! What I really want to know is if they will be available for orders again at some point?

We should have extras if all goes well. We tend to have more than needed, JUST in case something happens with a shipment, etc.

[richardsrarebooks]

Just wondering when the Lonely Road Books grab bags will be shipping. Hope I snag a numbered copy!
