    Every non-American on this forum will forever LOL at Americans complaining about shipping rates that are anywhere between 50-90% cheaper than US to international.

    They hold a festival that brings in thousands of fans that would never visit Iceland and thousands of dollars in buziness.... annnnd a big f u. Happy to see they are cooperating, but this feels a little tone def for a country that routinely gives deep discounts on flights if they have a layover in Iceland just to get people in the door.

    Apparently only the box sets, black vinyl, signed colored vinyl and t-shirts were fulfilled domestically. Everything else is coming from Europe.
    I’m still waiting on a signed lyric sheet and Polaroid. His US management is looking into the status for me. Will let you know if I hear back.

    I was really skeptical of this company when it first hit the internet. After seeing what they were about and ordering some records and realizing they put out a quality product, my mind was changed. They ship their records with the works and make a 29 dollar monthly fee worth it. That’s not easy to do. 
     
    Nothing but good experiences with them and while I don’t love everything they put out the good stuff more than makes up for it. I hope they stay in business and keep releasing really good records. I just ordered that De La ROTM because it’s beautiful and got TVOTR a couple weeks ago. Also that Main Source was perfect and just in time. 
    Hopefully they keep it up.

    As @YouTwo mentioned, you can sign up and swap for Clipse OR you can also sign up and probably buy it from the store in time. All Essential titles go up in the store eventually, so just keep an eye out here https://app.vinylmeplease.com/products/essentials
     
    I love the TVOTR pick. It is truly an essential album from the 2000s, in my opinion. Feels like they focused on one of the bands best efforts versus the Beach House pick.
     
    And frankly, given the resurgence of reissues / represses in general, VMP is going to have a very hard time finding OOP but really sought after records going forward. Most of the ones people clamour for (e.g., SFTD) have probably been explored ad nauseam. So if they are going to repress readily available albums, I prefer they choose the best of the best from bands that others may not have given a hard listen to.

    I post more on the VMP side as a lot of their exclusives and store variants actually end up cheaper for us Canucks than ordering direct through US/EU stores. I'm a big supporter and really enjoy how they expose me to music I wouldn't find on my own given time constraints, where I look, etc.
     
    That said, the forum is toxic as heck sometimes. There's a group of on/off/disgruntled members that struggle to not sweat the small stuff, and I just don't get it (I should, it's the god damn internet...). When I log on, 1/2 the time it feels like I walked into a restaurant with a bunch of people who HATE the restaurant but keep coming back to let the chefs and management know how they fucked up, or like a child who keeps telling you they are going to call the social services on you but you know they never will. Give up the ghost, please...
     
    Anyways, I do want to say that all communities have their issues, as I think VC can sometimes also display those aggressive / over-obsessive tendencies. But damn, the VMP forum takes it to another level sometimes...

    HAHA, this is a clusterfuck...
     
    So not only did they make a /100 exclusive for only people attending these show... they sold them online FIRST so that people who aren't going have them on hold and blocking those from going from getting them. It's like they want to watch vinyl collectors burn.

    They only put up a certain allotment for swap. These come and go as people change swaps. 
    It may very well be the case that the allotment was gone when someone asked if it was available. For example, Deviations was available for a handful of users SWAP this month but was quickly gobbled up...
     
    Bottom line, if you want to swap, your best bet is to jump on as soon as the ROTM is announced and check your options and lock in one you are happy with. Then go back periodically throughout the month to check if inventory has changed.

    Right... but you are assuming people read and abide by a line of text on a god damn internet. As seen, even here, people can order them without any express purpose of picking them up or now trying to get someone else to pick em up for them. Say 15 people do this... that's 15% of the run, gone, on hold for someone not even attending or going to be thrown back up online AFTER the festival. 
     
    I can only assume that wasn't SIgur Ros's intent, but what was supposed to be a nice treat for those willing to make the trek to Iceland, became a bloody internet preorder with no checks and balances that sold out in 24 hours.
     
    I'm not really interested in these releases, but given the vinyl lovers out there, I expect some very disappointed fans during the fest when they are told they needed to preorder the festival exclusive and can't buy it on-site while they see a stock pile of sleeves behind the merhcant.

    There are almost 90 options, including past ROTM and older exclusives (nothing that came out from the Dec store), so that's a bit much to just copy over. However there is NO 'Demon Days' there but it is in the store to purchase.

    A run of 100 each, sounds about right for what appears to be a bunch of meh...
    All Animals would be nice with a larger release, but I have no idea is the Somers LP is decent and the two Ros inspired LPs feel more like bonus discs.
    I'm just happy they choose these side pieces for limited pressings and not something substantial like the new album.

    Had a feeling a box would be coming but at that tag, I may be better off just grabbing the albums I would listen to on a regular basis.  Would love a boxset of the first half of their discography.
