If you ordered a California Box Set of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, you will not be receiving it until early next year. Warner Brothers sent out an email that everyone that ordered the box set.

Apparently, the ray guns have a problem and they are not what the band wants them to be. If you ordered the box set, you will be receiving your copy of the album and the EP that comes with it. Also, on the night of November 21st, you will be able to download a digital copy of the album. As an apology present, customers who ordered the box set will receive a $15 dollar coupon to the My Chemical Romance Web Store.

Personally, it is great that they are giving up a coupon to the store and a digital copy of the album but really, I didn't spend $80.00 to not receive a package until next year... :/

Well would you like shitty ray guns that the band aren't pleased with or would you like good ones that the boys want you to have. I'd take the latter, personally. Not to mention you're getting the album in time anyways, and you can digitally DL it a few hours early, and a free 15 bucks to get something from the store.

But as I say in every thread, at least you will be eventually getting them.

You're right. I was just saying that we've already waiting this long and now we have to wait a couple more months and it sucks.

To be honest i'm really not annoyed at all. I mean of course I want the set because I mean I payed for it but right now i just really, really want the album, and I was getting worried we would have to wait! So relieved we'll get the album in time (and the early download!). It makes me happy that they are such perfectionists. Alot of bands would just not care as long as they were making money but MCR always seem to care about the little things Very Happy

At least I get a digital copy and $15 coupon. I've actually been meaning to buy some stuff.

"What that means for you is that on the day Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys comes out, you will not receive your entire California 2019 Box Set. Your album and your Mad Gear and Missile Kid EP will come, but the rest of the package will be delayed until early next year."

Apparently this means we're still getting the CDs sent but not the box, beads, mask, book, or gun.

i was wondering about that, will it just be the CDs in a package then, and not any of the extras?

have to say, its actually amazing of them to give us vouchers and a digital download early, and i love the fact they care so much that they're redoing the guns because they're not happy with them, cause lets be fair, we would be gutted if they broke!
such an awesome bunch of dudes =)

I think it is very generous of them to be giving us a coupon and an early download. I was just reallllllly excited to finally have a ray gun hahaha.

This is not a thread to discuss tours or anything else that is not the topic of the thread.

Feel free to nip over to the Band WAYT or the appropriate tour thread to discuss the tour Smiley

Yeah, I'm not really annoyed.
I'm actually kind of glad because my mom and I had so many problems trying to order it,
I wouldn't have gotten it early anyways.

This still isn't the thread to do it at.
Maybe the album's thread would be more appropriate.

Watch the 'tude, man.

This isn't the thread for the album even, it's for the announcement and general complaining and comments (this isn't a jab at any of you upset people, I promise. I'd be complaining too, probably, if I were in your shoes despite my calm post above) of how the fact the box set was released. If you were to say it, it should have gone in the actual album thread itself, and then gone to tour to discuss. The tour boards aren't there for decor.

I bought mine through UK undercurrent (as I am in the UK!), as I thought it was be easier, like I'd be more likely to get it closer to the release date and import taxes were already sorted etc.

I'd already recieved an email from that website back at the end of October saying that there had been manufacturing issues, and it wouldn't be ready to be sent out until December 6th (which I presume is much later now).

I'm more annoyed that because I've gone down that route, I'm not going to recieve an album early, won't get the download or a voucher for their store. Sad Which ok, is no-ones fault, but meh.

At least I had ordered the HMV one too so I could get a bandana! haha (And I was supposed to be saving for a house! :/ )

Is the voucher only for those who ordered through the MCR website itself?
I had to do it through the Canadian ordering website, and haven't received any email and was just wondering if this means I am exempt from the voucher and download (and if wait times are similar to those in the US). Not that it's a huge deal or anything, I was just curious.
Can't wait to have the album in my hands though.

This is what I am presuming, don't really have any way of knowing, I've not been contacted by the site I ordered mine from since the 29th October.

If there was something wrong with the ray guns and they'd just sent them out anyway, chances are they could be damaged during the shipping. I'm actually glad they're getting them to the standard that they want them to be, I can think of a lot of bands and artists that might not bother. I'm also glad they're still sending out the CD, and think they're being very generous with the free download and coupon - they don't have to do that, after all.

Out of curiosity though, what if we haven't received the email, even though we ordered it through Warners? My dad ordered it for me and hasn't heard anything from them.

^^ You could try sending them an email just in case but as long as you got the order confirmation email it should be fine. Or else check the junk/spam folder. =]

At first I was pissed off at the delay but now I agree that it's better to wait for the ray guns in this case. Either way just holding the album in my hands will be just fine :]

Part of me thinks maybe a lot more people ordered than they expected and just weren't prepared maybe? So they delayed everyone's, instead of a few.

Or I could just be stupid haha.

They said they weren't satisfied with the guns and they sent them back to the manufacturer to fix them
