If it is a mistake the company maybe done for false advertising.

Some guy wrote this on the facebook message Dev made:

@ Rigo. The book is big so you've only really got the choice of ordering from the US, Germany or UK. I'd be surprised if you'll get the shipping down much cheaper than £53. As Casey says, all the Deluxe versions have the litho and vinyl, however the US version also has the litho signed and the book handnumbered. The German version has no handnumbering, no signature but does have a patch, and the UK version has signed litho, no patch and no handnumbering.

So I think that means this:

The InsideOut version has the litho and the 10" + a patch, but nothing is signed. CMDistro version has the litho and 10", the litho is numbered and signed. The OMerch version has the litho and 10", the litho is signed, but not numbered. At least that's what this guy says and he's right about CMDistro and InsideOut, but this is getting confusing about OMerch. The title at OMerch would make me think you only get the 10" with no litho, but the description says:

500 individually-numbered, limited edition copies that include two exclusive items: A. An autographed lithographic print featuring original artwork by Devin drawn exclusively for this edition, and a 10” piece of vinyl featuring two exclusive tracks.

Which makes me think you get the litho and it's numbered + signed. This is really confusing.

Nowhere does it say that is the edition you are getting, though. The entire description says there are 2,500 copies of the boxset, 500 being the signed ones. It never says which one you are getting. The entire description is just the generic product description for the Deluxe Set which has posted other places. It is not false advertising since it never says what you are ordering is one of the 500. You are ordering what the item description says, which is:

Devin Townsend Project (Contain Us) Box Set + Bonus LP

They may very well be signed, but since it isn't in the item description no one actually knows that. To assume so could be very disappointing.

So I think that means this:

The InsideOut version has the litho and the 10" + a patch, but nothing is signed. CMDistro version has the litho and 10", the litho is numbered and signed. The OMerch version has the litho and 10", the litho is signed, but not numbered.

That would make sense to me. Devin does offer signed merchandise on O Merch, so it may just be he signed the boxset, but it isn't part of the numbered set. Still, his other signed discs on the site actually say they are signed, so I'd still suggest confirming it before ordering unless you don't mind taking the gamble.

Right, this is kinda fail. The title says one thing (+ bonus LP, which sounds like there is only a vinyl with no litho) and the description says another thing (aka the generic deluxe edition description). I have contacted them for more information. I'd agree with ppinkham, be sure about what you're going to get lest you be disappointed. Especially when you have 2 conflicting pieces of information from their own website.

Good man...

In terms of the numbering malarky, we don't know that Devin didn't sign more than the initially proposed 500. Similar thing happened with Addicted, if I remember right. Started out as around 500 or something as well and then fluctuated up to 2000 by the end. So you never know... I guess we'll just wait and see what Omerch say in reply to the email. Hopefully they'll be quick about it. While we're humming and hawwing over getting the perfect package more uncaring and less pedantic people will be getting the jump on us!

Right, but with Addicted I believe there were only 500 numbered/signed/drawn slipcases and I'm pretty sure there weren't any more than that. I don't think I'll get an answer today, it's already night in the UK, I'll probably receive something tomorrow.

Nonononono, there were 2000 hand drawn numbered Addicted thingies.

This O-Merch/InsideOut thing is actually frying my brains.

You can still get the hand-drawn slipcases from Dev, and you can have them signed as well from the HevyDevy store. They just aren't numbered. However, I think some folks received some of these with their Decon/Ghost pre-orders. So yeah, still confusing. lol

Yeah, I know... Hopefully there won't be night-owls buying them up in the dead of night before they get the chance to email back.

And there was definitely more than that for the Addicted slips. I'm not at home but I'm sure mine is #1648, or something in the sixteen-hundreds anyway...

My bad, I know there were additional ones that were signed + hand drawn, but I thought only 500 were numbered.

All the time we've waited for a sign.
It'll soon be over, all I want is honesty.
It'll soon be over, all we've got is time.
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone!

InsideOut were very prompt and on-the-ball with cancelling my pre-order there... German efficiency, eh! Still no word from Omerch though. Useless English plonkers.

Maybe you should write a folk-song about it...

I must take back a part of that praise because they did conveniently forget to refund me the €103 I paid them for the box set.

Still no word from Omerch.
