I finally caved and put my preorder in (at Laser CD). I ended up going with thr 2CD/1BD artbook. As much as I'd like the the box set with its artcards and poster, I don't really collect or need vinyls, and I don't have any place to put the poster anyway.
At least I only spent $42.60 after tax and shipping for it, so that's exciting. I enjoy artbooks a lot, too, so it'll be nice to flip through the pages of photos and, hopefully, liner notes about each song like they did with the first two albums. I'm just happy it's coming in less than two months, which will hopefully be plenty of time to digest the new Transatlantic album(s).
