Broken Age is up on Fangamer. Seems to be the leftover stock that Double Fine had.

Sounds like for bulk orders, best case, $4-5 per case.  A bit too steep for me when if I have loose discs, they are going into DVD cases anyway.  Works for replacing broken cases, almost all of mine are cracked or broken in some manner.  But $4-5 a case from a company that consistently screws up orders AND knowingly under-packs items because it's cheaper... no thanks.  I certainly won't be buying until I hear from other folks about how things arrive... that aside, $4-5 a case is still high and I expect that to be with ordering like 1000 cases or something to get it that low, plus they'll probably charge like $3/case shipping or something ridiculous if they do actually pack it well.

Confirmed on Twitter that it'll be $5 each in packs of 5, so good call on that one. Considering just that regular protectors for most cases cost almost $1 (not in bulk), it's not terrible, and if I were a collector of Sega CD/Saturn/PS1 long boxed games, I'd be happy to be able to replace a handful of cracked/damaged cases finally. Shipping will probably be a pain, I agree.
will be sold by a presumably new company, might just be a sister site but still LRG

Excited about this one. I love local co-op games (if I can find someone to play with, that is).

I'm in the same boat... I knew the CE would take a while, but I'm seeing reports of folks who've already received their Ys standard, CE, and variant :/

No shipping notices for me either and orders both still read as "unfulfilled"...

I haven't received my Ys Origins copy OR my Asdivine Hearts copy.

I don't want to be "that guy" and bug them since I know they're a small company, but it feels like it's been too long of a wait.

You're a customer and they are a business, it is your right to "bug" them if their product is delayed beyond a reasonable amount of time.  And this is a reasonable amount of time.  So "bug" away, I would.

Absolute Drift and Chariot just went up. Still ~20% remaining as of 10:07AM. Chariot seems to be selling a little more than Absolute Drift.

Also, I FINALLY got a shipping confirmation on my Wonder Boy/Lawbreakers and Ys/Asdivine orders. I'm having some buyers remorse on Lawbreakers at this point. I read something earlier that said that the game has been steadily bleeding players. I'm afraid by the time my copy shows up it'll be a glorified drink coaster.  :P

I like the way you think.

Let the bugging begin!

I sent a friendly email and got back a friendly response. This weekend should be the weekend that they'll be going out.

http://steamcharts.com/app/350280 [Prob. similar on all platform] its been at death's door for long time now. I dont see it ever recovering, so yes its a over glorified drink coaster :(

So I just received my copy of Ys Origin. It was just in my mailbox, I never received any tacking info and my order is still "unfulfilled", so be on the lookout I guess.
