i just came home last weekendend from a trip and had to find out, the limited edition of manafon is already sold out.
i came along this forum, which i didn't knew before, and thought, maybe one of you can help me?
does anybody know, if this release was exclusively sold at samadhi, or did they sent copies to some distributers?
if yes, where?
has anyone an idea where to find a copy of it (except ebay)?
any help would be appreciated!!!
cheers

It was listed for sale at many online distributors, which was a more attractive option for some, as the price attracts both a customs charge (of maybe around $30 / £20) and a delay. A package sent to the UK, for instance, but picked up by customs, could take over a month to arrive.
Amazon.co.uk listed the item for sale at £63.59 for a while. Then they listed it as out of stock, with a despatch date for orders already accepted of 21st September. Briefly on the 19th September, it became available again, which made me think that amazon.co.uk had a limited allocation of these items (listed as being the signed versions from the 2,000 print run), and had a few cancellations.
As of late last night, amazon.co.uk effectively said all bets were off, as they were having difficulty getting the item. The order still stands though, so there is a glimmer of hope. In the meantime, they may make it available for order again if a lot of people take them up on their suggestion just to cancel in the meantime. That could just be your best bet at this stage (only if you're UK based I suppose).
Most other UK-based etailers currently list the item. I would not expect any of them to deliver, to be honest. Hmv.co.uk allow you to buy for £69.99, saying it's back in stock in 7 days (unlikely), whereas play.com have it listed as 'currently unavailable'.
