anyone looking to buy these a little heads up with thier new site...

they took away the media mail option and and the only shipping option is this: 1 record 6 bucks, 2 records 15 bucks, 3 records 19 bucks. Enjoy  

If it's insured starting at $15 I can't complain too much. If it's not...woof.

All 3 Thursday 11AM EST. Hopefully more than 1500 of each... (other than maybe Hot Damn) They really should stick to 1 variant with a larger quantity for their first pressing.

FYI.

 

im gonna  have a huge sale on some shit this week. Get some funds ready, you’ll likely need it.

Hit me up if you have Super Mario Odyssey, Abzu, Animal Crossing GameCube, or Ratchet & Clank.

Apparently someone got it and Smartpunk shipped it with the record inside the jacket and no shrink so if you have time it might be worth asking them to not do that.

Where's my angry react when I need it

Could be a coincidence it finally shipped but I'm going to say my bitching paid off. I got a tracking number.

The bitching may have triggered something. I know 1 person who just got their shipping confirmation for Fiddlehead.

Edit: HAH. Citizen shipped too. Bout fucking time. Now I just need Holy Fawn to ship to end this.

I have a random order with old, in stock releases that haven't shipped for like 2 months...

So they're doing it to everyone while promoting new sales and orders. Wild.

any word on this? I also emailed BV a few times since August and keep getting cut copy message that say "we're experiencing delays with this release, we're hoping for a XXXX ship date" insert whatever current month we're in.

I got so fed up with them I cancelled my order and got my money back. I ended up getting the yellow/500 sealed for under retail from a random seller on Discogs. I'm still fed up with them and you can see more details in the Citizen thread. They also haven't shipped Holy Fawn's Realm and they're doing the same shit. I sent RFC and email for more information asking what can be done. BV is shady and I will never order from them again.

Dane (works under RFC) said we can email  [email protected] even if it doesn't relate to their RFC webstore and they can try to assist. I highly encourage you and anyone else reading this to email because if enough people say something maybe BV will get it together.

[email protected] is a working email and Dane confirmed they got my email but I never got a reply. We talked in the Ciz Society Facebook group.

I sent the webstore an email asking for a replacement jacket which I never do. I compared this to other single LP jackets and it's oversized from the standard. The quality control with design and records from Solid State has seen a serious decline recently (with increasing prices) and it's ridiculous for them to charge $30 and order the wrong dimensions and pay for shrink wrap (just order them separately! Takes 5 seconds to put them next to each other in a mailer!). For what it's worth the fulfillment company packaged it perfectly so I think they're all like this. A friend of mine got his of a different variant also packaged correctly and his is even worse with 2 large seam splits. We are getting ripped off left and right and vinyl newbs act like this is normal and acceptable.

I had an issue with Acrobat Unstable not confirming a change of address. And when I emailed a second time they confirmed they got it but also said they normally don't respond to those emails. Can't just say: "received and updated" ??? Incredibly lazy and problematic. The seller in your story knows they're slacking and didn't like getting called out on it. Very typical of businesses like them nowadays. Granted I wouldn't have been snarky because I want to make sure I can always defend my words and actions but you do you. It's not like they'll get your business again.

Still hasn't shipped. Fuck BrooklynVegan forever. I'm reaching out to the label again 

I could be wrong but you're going to have to go through every other vinyl listing to look at the runouts listed because if yours is different that the listing you ordered it from, you have a different pressing. And keep in mind these are all community submissions so there's plenty of listings out there that have wrong information or are missing information.

I love overpaying for a single LP just for it to come with a gnarly seam split. Great job!

Fantastic album. I wish I wasn't going to a different show when he's coming through my area. Headlights On, Suburban Solutions, and Dial Tone are new favorites.

My only concern is manufacturing costs will not decrease. Like it's been said here, I'm buying less and less. I now keep a list of titles I'm interested in that I'm not a die-hard fan of so I can keep an eye on sales and promotions.

A raise from the 600 to 10k is pending with government approval. Nobody thinks 600 was a good idea

Fully agree

oh man huge news. looks like it's called the "Red Tape Reduction Act" and passed the House in July. can't find any updates since then...

If anyone learns of any updates please post here. I can't seem to find any updates either.

I'll probably get Spider-Man 2 for Christmas so I haven't bought it but I'm looking forward to it. I've been sucked into Ghost of Tsushima lately. A little late to the party but it's pretty good. It has a ton in common with Spider-Man, Horizon, God of War, Red Dead, etc. so it's a new favorite. The last game I beat was Drums Rock on PSVR 2 which I can't recommend enough. It's basically Rock Band (drums portion) in VR and it's really satisfying.

So can I just sign up for this record and immediately cancel ?

Yes. I've read a few people have been successful doing that.

Someone in the Facebook group for New Vinyl Releases said "it's only $48!" and they were genuinely enthusiastic about that price. There's no hope for this hobby.

My "void iris" blue/red/black merge is shipping. Originally they said December 15th (at least that's what I wrote down) so this is great.
