EBAY!!! User ID Chuff000 and metalpinss provided above about "buying off ebay" is a "FRAUD". There are multiple listing from Oscar (Chuff000) and his group under these two ebay names. If you purchase this version, it comes as a mexico bootleg with cardboard flimsy covers and nothing compared to the Germany Limited Edition Nuclear Blast has provided.

In the past, we've run into this guy (formerly Scarecrow Records) many times under different names, sending us one-sheet info to order for less. Their copies are bad so you will want to stay clear. They have contacts that sell out of Canada but import from L.A. via Mexico.

Whatever dude! I've bought from metalpinss for a long time and never ever had a problem with them.

I find it ironic that this was posted though, especially considering some of the stuff I've seen CD Inzane selling at ProgPower one year.

I got mine yesterday. I'm not gonna lie - the quality is not the best as has been warned against - but as I've already mentioned, I don't really care. Including shipping I paid $21, which is less than I would've spent to walk out and buy both of these discs separately at a standard retailer in a month when they eventually got them in. The only thing I think sucks about the packaging is the aforementioned flimsy cardboard sleeve, that's about it. Somewhere I CAN'T imagine the differences, whatever they are, were somehow worth the $30 price difference. I don't regret my decision.

I got mine yesterday as well. I hear you on the quality of the packaging, but as long as the cd is working fine and there are no defects, I don't mind either. It is not in horrible shape, but it could be better. Nevertheless, the cd's are in good shape and that is what really counts in my book. I think it is a good buy and a good risk to take. 21 dollars for two disks that are in mint condition is good enough for me.

Stay Metal!!!

I too have a few "Scarecrow Records" CDs... Quality is a bit inferior on the printing on a few of them, but they are legit, no bootleg. I bought them in my trips to Mexico City, on regular CD stores... He has great distribution in Mexico, seems like a good label.

By the terms of his contract it's illegal to sell his CDs outside of his territory, though...

You guys can buy it off those sellers with no problem. There's a big difference between the quality of printing and being a bootleg. To me, it sounds like he was just annoyed that the guy from Ebay had the album available and people were buying from Ebay instead of his store.

I got mine from said Ebay seller, and I have no complaints whatsoever. The product and packaging is definitely legit and looks just fine. If the European Nuclear Blast version has a slightly sturdier slipcase (I find nothing wrong with mine), that's a really poor reason to pay an extra $30.
