Even with very minimal advertising on online forums, reddit, and facebook, this first run of tapes was sold out in less than a minute. It was decided at that point an umbrella would be created, specifically to showcase the projects of Newtype420 & Sunset Network 91- this conglomerate of vapor influenced, audio focused content, would be named "The Fantasy ☆ Deluxe". "The" at the beginning was quickly dropped. Plans were made to kick off the label with High Fashion, and Wasted Digital- a perfect overview of what was to become.

With every tape release, the CEO; Spot would showcase each one. It was also a requirement to be on the label, Spot had to be able to sleep through your album uninterrupted. It is a well known fact that the best judges when it comes to vaporwave, is housecats. Spot took great joy in the music, and the production of tapes. During the handmade era, Spot was always by Sunset Networks side. Spot has since passed on due to old age, according to Fantasy☆Deluxe's he passed away at the ripe old age of 18, peacefully and surrounded by loved ones.


It is thought Sunset Network hasn't returned to vaporwave due to this but it cannot be confirmed as he cannot be reached for comment at this time.

'''Tape Quality:''' As mentioned, many Fantasy☆Deluxe were homedubs. This led to some customers saying their tapes were bad dubs, had poor quality, and  were not worth the high price point. Newtype420 has stated on twitter in 2016, himself and SN91, dubbed the first couple hundred tapes on a USB boombox they had found at the mall. Tapes were recorded in real time and could only be spot checked.

This mishap was fixed in late 2016 when Fantasy☆Deluxe introduced a new series of professionally dubbed tapes. This led to a short rebirth of Fantasy☆Deluxe, its artists, and its fanbase.

'''PZA''' Fantasy☆Deluxe was part of the PZA debacle of 2016. Out of respect for PZA, sampled artists, the album TROPIC was left up available as a free download. Internet myths and rumors claim a cassette of this project was released but no record can be found it. Besides the 1986 DEMO TAPE, this is thought to be Fantasy☆Deluxe's rarest tape release.

'''3D CAST''' Sunset Network 91 made a couple short appearances on 3D Blast's "3D Cast" although due to contractual obligations and cara-cara consumption he has not appeared on the show since 2018.
