The Saint

Most limited already sold out? Darn. Love me a pinwheel variant. Awesome news for these guys though! Looking forward to seeing them next month.

I want to help.

Era finally a single LP? Noice. Hope it sounds good.

picked up the rfc variant from the uk store. 
bought it before I saw RT had a pinwheel but if the final thing is gonna look a bit like the mockup it will be sweet

Where you seeing the mockup? 

EDIT: Nevermind. I thought you meant there was a mockup of the pinwheel. I've seen the swirl. I need coffee.

Rough Trade pinwheel variant

I like how they were sure to point out that this is the first official pressing of MGS.

This week we are honored to present the soundtrack to Hideo Kojima's 1998 masterpiece METAL GEAR SOLID, available on vinyl officially for the first time.

For anyone that might care, AL4W is pressing Webster Lake for the first time. 200 copies on blue vinyl. http://alossforwords.limitedrun.com/products/649423-a-loss-for-words-webster-lake-7-on-clear-blue

They're having issues with shipping options to the US, but they said they're looking into it.

It's up:

Color Variant

Black

$35 and no Danny Kaye and The Andrews Sisters? Easy pass.

Bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't want to leave the Congo, oh no no no no no

No deluxe from BM? I want dem points.

C'moooooooonnnnn Bull Moose. Hit me with it.

It's bold to blackmail a band over 20-year-old demos, especially when it's a band who never shies away from releasing demos or b-sides or whatever. They have tons of early versions of songs floating around because they take years to work on them. That's treating it like they are skeletons in a closet that could tank Radiohead's whole legacy.  Of course, they're not going to pay you. And of course, they aren't going to let you get the final word. I'm glad the narrative changed to a positive one.

This happened with Super Mario World from Select/Start. At least he was classy enough to refund everyone and not hold money hostage. Mr. Raygun needs to admit to himself that he got fucked and that he needs to refund everyone. I feel bad that he obviously took a huge financial hit on this but at the same time I think it’s messed up to go radio silence for months when you knew this was happening.

Is that why I got a refund last week? I'm not on social media or anything so I had no clue. Just accepted it as part of the bootleg life. But I was bummed cause I was looking forward to that sweet yellow vinyl. 

Schmaltz hits me like a sack of bricks every time I listen to it. Such a great album. Pretty great that they are on Pure Noise now.

Missed it. Bummer.

Recently bought a 2DS XL before they cease production (gonna be sooner than later) and decided I’m gonna collect every Pokemon and LoZ game. So far I have every (playable on 3DS) Pokémon game except SoulSilver, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, White, and Black. HeartGold and SoulSilver cost as much as a brand new fucking game. Shits wild. 

If it makes taking the plunge on HG/SS easier, I'm a firm believer (like most of the internet) that those are the best in the series. I put over 100 hours into my copy of HeartGold. So I'd say even at its going rate, you get more than your money's worth.

EDIT: Just realized it looks like you already have HeartGold so you already know how good it is.

Mondo can get gaped for leaving the MAESTRO behind all of the music out of it. But, OF COURSE, this is MY FAVORITE video game OST of all time, so I might get, like, three copies and, also, I am getting the new pressing of the first soundtrack and this will be my first time buying pins too! Gape me!!!

I think it's a Konami thing, not a Mondo thing. Similar to them pulling Kojima's name from the cover of MGSV after his departure. They love to be front and center for branding. It's why the entire Konami Kukeiha Club exists I bet.  And I'm assuming most staff has little to no real ownership over the product, especially once you exit the company. 

Yup, I didn't read the fine print. I glossed over the word "store" when looking at that email. Now we wait.

I'm doing something wrong. Signed up for Cherry Tree and every time I try to checkout with the exclusive variant, it asks me to sign in. I use the email and password I used for signing up, but I'm getting an error that won't let me sign in and consequently, checkout.

My votes are for MGS and Sonic 3. Sonic 2 would be cool too, but I prefer 3 cause of the MJ influence. Hell, even Moonwalker would be groovy. Or just give me a goshdarn Sonic Genesis collection. Moonshake loves a good collection/compilation. 1, 2, 3, S&K. 

Thanks, everyone! Weird game. @marc32137 walked away with $75. But congrats to everyone who won!

Fixed cause of a typo. It said LII instead of LIII. THis should be higher res too. Good luck everyone!
