My opinion is that the band is aware of the demand but are protecting themselves and us. By that I mean, as much as they would happily let any eager ear have what they want, they and we do not want a situation where 12,000 of these collect dust in a storage shed. The price is balanced by having a quantity deal and it would get pricey to press one at a time.

I am getting wordy but my point is by playing it safe, they don't waste resources. Wasting resources defeats the purpose of MYF or any plans if longevity. I am positive a solution will arise, a release will be made to satisfy more. 3,000 of these were created.

I totally agree with Christopher Farrel, I posted the same message below on the preorder thread and also sent the same message to Topspin.  They said they would pass it along to the appropiate people.  Here's what I said, "What I don't understand is why there wasn't more limit edition box sets made?  It hasn't even been released and it's sold out.  Obviously there's a demand!  Many other bands allow their fans to get a copy of some very long awaited quality material; Vinyl, Blu-Ray, packaging, etc.....  Also in return, happily supporting the band.  Some example of bands allowing fan to get great material are; Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Steven Wilson, Trent Reznor, Pink Floyd Discovery Box Sets, more and more band are releasing stuff like this nowadays, which is great.   I did buy their "Melodies and Monuments" vinyl compilation set, that only wetted my thirst for quality material. In response to the comment by "Emu" about waiting to buy the vinyl on Ebay, have you seen what flippers do to prices, taking advantage of fans?  The flippers aren’t even fans, only buying to take advantage of them.  I'm 30 years old and my generation is finally getting quality music; Vinyl, Blu-Ray Hi Rez, SACD, DVD-A, and High Def download.  Incubus is an AMAZING band with AMAZING musicians that deserve to be heard the way it was intended when listening to them in the privacy of one's home.  I remember seeing/meeting them back in 98 on the SCIENCE tour, they blew my mind!"
