Dan & Phil Part 78: have the courage to exist.

Phantasy · Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:38 pm

oh, it’s gonna be a happy Christmas indeed for these boys :moneybath:

(I’m still surprised there might not be a calendar this year... they could literally just do Dogs 2.0 or other pets or heck even just outtakes from last year and it would sell like mad.)

hmmmm...watch parties...

msbluesky · Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:40 pm

I panicked so much that I actually misspelled my own name. The Limited Edition is gonna sell out fast I think, even though it is quite expensive. Well, at least I've already got my christmas present sorted

From the "dan and phil shop" email that was just sent out:

The disc also comes with extras! A 'Deleted Scene' where Dan gets revenge, our Dan and Phil 'Director's Commentary' which is two straight hours of behind the scenes interesting information and irrelevant banter and exclusive to the physical copies - an 'Interactive Simulation Game' where you get to control our lives. Yep.

We have dedicated this entire year of our lives to creating a show that we hope makes a statement about us all that we can be proud of for the rest of time and we can't wait to finally share it with everyone around the Earth. We look forward to sharing loads of fun experiences with everyone who owns it - like Q&A's, viewing parties and maybe even ..some live events when it is released!

Here's the full email for anyone interested.

Give me 5 minutes whilst I recover in the corner. I am so excited and have just been out to pick some stuff up and my phone has been wild and now I am home and can process what’s happening there is three different limited edition versions and a mention of LIVE EVENTS. Someone send help I am too excited

flarequake · Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:49 pm

Wow, was not expecting three versions of extra merch to choose from. I like that blue jacket version of the photos, but it took a moment to read about them all. Nice to have a discount on some other tour merch, half of which I already bought

maybe plushies would be nice, but I think three pairs and I’ll be overrun, they’ll all be staring at me with their pupilless button eyes. The four I have don’t really look at me much tbh, they sit on a bookshelf and look straight ahead.

I don’t think the BBC distribution means it’s likely to be on tv. I don’t actually know, but I think their dvd section is different.

Talk of celebratory events nearer the time sounds good. Cute photo of them with the different versions.

Now for this casual, deep, chewy video, boys

Just to further cement my branding as a forever bitter and salty Canadian: if I were to get the limited edition thing (and I was immediately tempted), it would be ~$45CAD because the shipping is practically the same cost as the dvd. $22 if I go through Amazon for the normal version, HMMMM tough choice. Were I not employmentally-challenged, I might be interested in paying $23 extra for 2 pins, but not today Satan. Snazzy packaging though. Too bad Canada sucks and/or they hate us. Can't wait for this tour chapter to close entirely tbh.

Can someone who's already pre-ordered tell us which merch is 50% off? And do you only get this discount after you've already pre-ordered, meaning paying shipping twice if you use the 50% code to buy something? ty

from this -> Also - when you place an order for the DVD you will receive a discount code giving you a thicc 50% OFF selected tour merch items to say thank you!

I kinda want the plushies. But I also like the Amazon photos better. The one where they're both holding the microphone stand is appropriately phallic.

Ablissa · Mon Oct 15, 2018 7:16 pm

Well, there's my birthday and Christmas present sorted for this year!!
Ahhh I'm so happy for them. They're gonna make bank on this I think!!!

@knq I got the discount after pre-ordering, but it's like a separate shop so I think the shipping would cost separately too. The things on sale are II merch: 2 tshirts, long sleeve shirt, hoodie, plushies.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Joe and Caspar used those same companies for their movie and they had a premier. Could a possible live even involve a premier, with Phil in a suit and quiff?

Oooh that would be amazing. Could that be the "live event" they mentioned in the email? If I remember correctly they never had a proper party for II like they did for Tatinof so I would love a premier where they can invite all their friends who can vlog and instragram it from all angles.

citizen_erased · Mon Oct 15, 2018 7:37 pm

I don't have enough money right now to pre-order this dvd (I'm supposed to be all responsible with my money because I'm going on holiday soon and I need it for then) but I'm definitely keeping it in mind for when I'm buying birthday/christmas presents for myself lol. There's one or two other things from their shop that I still kinda want so I might just get it all in one go in december. I'm fine with not getting the limited edition, honestly. The photocards look nice, but I have no idea what I'd do with the pins since I never use any.

Now I'm just waiting for that video to drop

SquishPhan · Mon Oct 15, 2018 7:40 pm

I just bought their DVD on Amazon, the shipping there was way cheaper than on their own site so I obviously went with Amazon. Plus I still get some extras, so no complaints here.

Also an actual premier would be awesome.

ratlad · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:06 pm

y'all's my internet was out since 11:00 pm last night, just got it back now
a lot has happened wowie, i was afraid phil would drop the video before i got wifi back.

Amiaw · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:11 pm

I’m hoping for a live premier but I hope the live events/movie promo still gives them enough time for gamingmas, even if it’s a little abbreviated

sweetlyphan · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:11 pm

I don't think anyone has mentioned this but it looks like one of the extras will be the simulation. Which I'm interested to see all the possible outcomes. I could be wrong but I don't think every outcome has been shown yet.

Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:29 pm

I bought a bag of mint chocolate chip marshmallows bc I'm addicted to them now (the same ones they had in that one tour gaming video) and I said I wasn't gonna open them til the video drops but they're like right here on my desk beside me and cmon Lester tick fucking tock my sweet tooth needs to be appeased.

Ablissa · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:34 pm

Deppy rn:

They have no time for peasant things such as videos. They need to count their dough first. :moneybath:

edit: found a gif I liked better

I had these exact same bitter thoughts.
Also, I’m confused. If we’re in Canada we have to order the fancy DVD from the American shop. Then we get a code for 50% off some of the tour merch. Great! But am I right in thinking that we have to switch to the UK/international shop to use the code? Canadians can’t normally order from the US store can they?

I tried to a while back because I thought shipping would be cheaper than the uk shop (the $20 shipping for a dvd says no anyway), so unless they've changed it recently or with the dvd we can forever now, usually no.

autumnhearth · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:51 pm

For those still deciding it looks like the only advantage to getting the VIP version is if you want the enamel pins or prefer the blue and white cover. They both come with three photo cards (I actually prefer the poses on the red one) and the version available on Amazon (and probably other retailers) comes with a small poster and either a sticker, patch or magnet (idk some kind of *badge*). I think the only thing we don’t know is if the digital versions will have all the bonus content like the commentary. I hope they mention that in the video. Am I the only one that feels like they keep doing things backwards for II? Like putting things on sale before we have all the info.

annabanana · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:55 pm

I'm wondering where the tour bus Q&A they had people send in questions for will be released. It doesn't seem like it will be on the DVD since its not listed as an extra. I guess they could just scrapped it altogether but I hope not! Maybe the directors commentary is replacing that since it will probably include stories about everything they did.

wiccamoody · Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:56 pm

Ohhh a confirmation if I ever saw one!
