As previously reported, physical copies of deluxe edition CD for TOOL‘s latest album, Fear Inoculum, are sold out.
So yesterday, band issued a statement that “due to overwhelming demand, a small additional quantity is being made”:
“We are excited to announce that due to overwhelming demand for the FEAR INOCULUM deluxe CD package, a small additional quantity is being made. We are offering a very limited pre-order for this final run of deluxe CD packages, which will be available exclusively via store.toolband.com.
For US orders, this offer is available NOW for today only (until 11:59pm ET). For International orders, this offer is available for tomorrow only starting at 1:00pm ET (until 11:59pm ET).

Short time after, second run was sold out too and now it sells on eBay for hundreds of bucks.
You can see screenshot of some of the offers below.
Fear Inoculum could knock out Taylor Swift‘s album Lover off the top of the charts after just one week, and her fans who just heard about the TOOL for the first time are not thrilled.
Hits Daily Double reports that TOOL is expected to sell between 220-240,000 albums, with about 240-260,000 albums worth of total activity (meaning also counting streaming, where 1,000 streams are equivalent to one album sale.)
Swift could sell about 95-105,000 albums in week two with about 185-200,000 albums worth of total activity.
