krisakarcher Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 So I saw the pre-order up on amazon. Any reason why this is 34.98? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008VMTZ3W/ref=s9_simh_gw_p15_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1T426SY6B9BR1HW319Z3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846 Also it's on shop radio casts website but that says back ordered. Any idea for how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Im guessing it'll be on back order until it is released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisakarcher Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Okay thanks. I'm just worried because I know a lot of times back ordered stuff never comes in. At least in my dealings with best buy that's the case. Not sure how shop radio casts handles classifying things as backordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donttchange Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I wonder if hot topic is going to get this. Travis, plans, price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That probably happens to best buy with items that were at one time available, but then became oop. Not on items that haven't been released yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlettingjoe Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 preordered this on amazon for $18 on the 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryq Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 doesn't have free shipping like amazon, but interpunk has it for $16.25 http://www.interpunk...fm?Item=205103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedillon Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 the $34.99 is probably the limited edition red vinyl available here on the killers web store http://killers.shop....750&pc=BGLPKR05 EDIT: was going to order this but came out to $45.00 after shipping and tax... yikes!

harryq Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I wonder why these are so ridiculously priced. Anyone know how limited the red vinyl is? I wonder what they mean by "gatefold jacket with custom sleeve"... custom to this exclusive, or "custom" as in "not a plain white dust sleeve" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I wonder why these are so ridiculously priced. Plain and simple: Because they can. Or they think they can. Vinyl is hot right now. Press an exclusive color, say it's limited and make people who want the vinyl pay a lot for it. Californication, Van Halen: $45! Why not? you want the vinyl, pay up! Remember when CDs MSRP was around $20 each? Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 So the Killers store says: "The Battle Born Limited Edition Red Vinyl includes an 11 song single disc in a gatefold jacket with custom sleeve and a 24 x 36" poster." They probably mean custom inner sleeve. Like when an LP is advertised as having a "printed inner sleeve." Interpunk is showing on their listing "double 180g vinyl" which i would guess is wrong considering what the official site says. Considering the initial Amazon price and the different prices around the web, it would seem that there was some misinformation. At least one big online vendor doesn't evenhave it up for preorder yet.

Remember when CDs MSRP was around $20 each? Ugh. This really annoys me since The Killers have been one of my favorite bands for around 8 years now. If I can find out how "limited" the red vinyl is I'm probably going to end up paying the ridiculous price for it just to keep my Killers collection complete.

mmhmm Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hmm..a limited red single LP version for $45 shipped or a double 180g LP for $21 shipped. If Interpunk is, in fact, selling a double 180g version, this is a no-brainer. BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. Maybe the huge price difference between a single red LP and a double 180g LP is such a massive, backward, illogical mistake on Interpunk's part that when I order their version, they're just going to send me a Battle Born poster.

kannibal Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah, so amazon says there's is double LP, and has been selling for 35 for a while now. I preordered when it was 18. Maybe interpunk is getting this with the same deal they get all the rise above stuff for so cheap. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 So this book, Is it coming with all copies of the vinyl? The price would seem to indicate yes. Limited red vinyl is tempting as limited killers vinyl can get pricey. Hmmmm. Now that I think about it, It doesn't say exclusive red vinyl. Maybe all copies are red?

booms528 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Both pictures on http://www.thekillersmusic.com/battleborn make it look like it is a double even though the store (which that site redirects to) says single. And the store says 11 tracks, that splash page says 12. More than a little confusing. The access to presale tickets might be worth the extra price alone, though, in my opinion.

mymirrorspeaks Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I really want that red but the fact that it's $45 is really deterring. And if it was super limited it would've sold out by now given the size of their fan base. Limited edition could mean 10K copies for all we know.
