I certainly don't think it's a malicious intent with the lack of availability, it's just ineptitude.
I think they just struggle with demand projections which is somewhat understandable. This wouldn't be a big deal if the entire vinyl industry wasn't moving at a glacial pace, but unfortunately it is. If the demand for Tical is too low for a repress but a sizable enough number, I bet they would be pissed too, because that would mean they are losing the extra cash bump they get from those new customers enticed by Tical. As far as I understand any recuring revenue based business like VMP, they're constantly trying to engage new customers to get them on the same train we're all riding already. All the ad spend they will do promoting the RHH track is essentially useless since it's already sold out, and they can't solidly gain any more unless they do a repress. This current situation is probably even more stressful for them than the OutKast one, because they can't chalk it up to "crazy demand".
