The big question, "is this worth getting without any bonus tracks or a new mix?"
With no bonus material it's obviously aimed at collectors rather than your average fan. Collectors probabaly don't need any incentive to by it, they just will because it's available.
Unless it's outrageously priced I'll probably buy a copy.
That's some money grubbing bullshit right there if I do say so myself, there aren't even any bonus songs on it, it's just a bunch of stupid shit that most people except for the most die-hard Tool collectors would even care about. It was probably all Maynard's idea, lost a lot of respect for him just because of this.
I'm excited. I bought my copy before they sold out and I can't wait. 150 bucks? Whatever, I would've wrote them a check for 150.00, expecting nothing in return, if Tool asked for it because I like supporting my Tool. And if you think tool sold out, they did. In 1996. "I sold my soul to make a record....and then you bought one." so if you don't like the collector's opiate, or the price, don't buy it and go home and stick your finger up your

i ordered justin's MTvoid cd at the same time as the TA presale, and it arrived on the 26th. opiate order status still has it as a "new" transaction ...not yet "shipped". :/ not sure what the hold up is, other than they're a small operation, "please allow 4-6 weeks".

I imagine they're not really in stock yet and will be a week or so away from being sent out.
Re: Seal of Xatanitos (X) Aleph, Teth, Aleph, Nun, Yod, Tau, Vau, Shin = 777. "Seek her not, call her not; Let her declare." Good luck with your "prize".
Only mention of "Xatanitos" in the Literature:
XVIII. Gives good fortune in any lottery. The talisman is of cerise-coloured satin embroidered with gold and silver. It should be bound upon the left arm by means of a white ribbon, and the ring must be on the little finger of the right hand. The words are: ROKES for a winning number, PILATUS for an ambes-ace, ZOTOAS for a denary, TULITAS for a quaternary, XATANITOS for a quinary, being careful to pronounce all the words at the quine
My order still says pending.
Anyone else experiencing this situation?
I have an order number and receipt but the funds that was on hold with my bank are no longer on hold.
I also emailed orders@toolband today.
I'm still awaiting a reply.
i think i read somewhere that they're not actually shipping anything out, and that their focus has since shifted (from money collecting) to money counting.
(i'm excited for stage 4: money spending)

i guess that's one better than me. i'm still at "new" on my TA order history. received "shipped" email on the 31st as well. guess i wait on this "update: new to shipped" message before sitting at the foot of the door again...
Some guy on Fourtheye has posted that he has his, and that it was shipped on the 6th of April. Presuming he's not making it up, I expect we'll see a bunch of photos of the package in the near future.
And it appears there are no real surprises in the package - the USB is empty and is 4GB in size.
Thousands of OPIATE 21st ANNIVERSARY packages have been... and currently are being shipped, including a couple that contain the prize winning golden seal. More on the way today.
