how to get restock alerts for Bad World
Bad World is the sister shop to Blood Records and works the same way: limited editions sold in defined windows rather than a catalogue you can come back to. The run is the product, and the window is the main event.
It also means the same second chance. Cancelled orders and copies found in the stock room go back online after a drop, unannounced and in small quantities, so a sold-out edition is worth keeping an alert on instead of writing off. The two shops release separately though, so watching one tells you nothing about the other.

how Bad World releases work
Window-based releases
Editions open for a period or until the run is claimed, then close. The window is where most of the stock goes.
Separate from Blood Records
Shared ownership, separate releases. Following one shop will not surface the other's drops.
Small runs
Quantities are set before the window opens, so popular editions are claimed in the early hours of the sale.
Post-drop returns
Cancelled orders and stock-room copies reappear afterwards with no announcement, in small quantities.
stores tracked
Like its sister shop, Bad World is a store you enable and leave alone. The release volume is low and the titles are not named in a way a keyword could match reliably, so filtering would cost you drops without sparing you anything.

how to set it up
Track both shops at once
Bad World and Blood Records cost two slots and cover the whole of this release model. Adding only one leaves half of it unwatched.
No keywords needed
Neither shop lists enough for a filter to help. Switch them on and take every alert, because each one is a real drop rather than an ordinary listing.
Do not switch the store off
The window closing is not the end of it. Leaving the store enabled is how you catch the returned copies nobody else is waiting for.

Yes. Cancelled orders and copies found in the stock room go back online after the initial release, with no announcement, in small quantities.
