According to Christopher Taber, founder and CEO of Analogue, creating the GITD Pocket involved developing an entirely new material to achieve the unique starry, chalky texture that only becomes visible when it glows. The enthusiasm for this release was palpable, with all units selling out in under two minutes, although the exact number available was not specified.
Unsurprisingly, resellers quickly got their hands on many GITD editions, much to the frustration of genuine fans. Now that the shipping backlog for actual Pockets appears to be mostly resolved, Taber confirmed that there will be stock available for the holidays.
