FINALLY got my copy with the cover delivered today, listening to it now. I managed to get the guy to send me the info in the morning at around 9.15am (after emailing him a few times to make sure he hadn't forgotten, as he promised to have it sent out before 8am). Annoyingly, I got an email in my junk box today (which wasn't there before), that had the info I needed, and it was dated Monday 9th October, 7.40am. If only my hotmail hadn't fucked up, I could have put the info in at 7.45am, and stood a much better chance of winning. Bollocks.

Has the vinyl been relseased yet??
Edit - Its released on the 16 October.. explains why i coupldnt find it in the shops

It's out now.

Will any of this promotional stuff like the flag be available in the US?

The "First Day Cover" was only intended for the UK. This included the chance to win a signed Crusade flag, plus a chance to win VIP tickets to meet Trivium on the upcoming Iron Maiden tour. This promotional cover and competition will not be available in the States. It is possible the flag itself could be released to be bought online or from shops, but it obviously wont be signed.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a signed flag or two kicking around eBay at some time. Another "promotional" Crusade item at the moment is a metal pin badge with Trivium's "T" logo embossed on it. There are a few of these on eBay at the moment, you cannot get these in shops.

Our street team are giving out the 'T' bages.. I really like 'em.
Loving the HMV displays as well - that was all the idea/set up of the guy who heads the RR UK office... I walked past one last night and had to go into the store to admire them better hahaha.
