Depends on how much you value the Black Stallion LP, tbh. I've seen the 2010 White Pony represses going for $40 on Discogs. If you're not really a "remix" guy, don't think spending those twenty extra clams is worth it.

The good news from this is that any flippers who are not aware of how bad this is will probably have to sit on these for a long time before finally selling them at-cost, potentially not even profiting off them. That's always a pleasant thought.

How easy would it have been to release White Pony &  Black Stallion on white and black vinyl? Like, I don't know if that would have influenced my decision enough to spend one hundred and fifty fuckin' smackers, but c'mon, this was not thought out well at all.

If you’re buying vinyl just because it’s an investment you’re trying to flip later, try bit coin instead. 

that's totally fine
 
all I'm saying is for fans who are into it or may just be super Deftones fans - $60 dollars for a major label "box set" that 4xLPs is not a bad price. 
 
feel free to spend the $40 on the 2010 press of White Pony that's totally reasonable as well.

I mean you got half of what you wanted?

What a shit cash grab....hard pass 

If it doesn't affect their pay, why should they? I guess time will tell if this ends up being a "newsworthy" fuck up for Revolver and the plant gets dragged through the mud or if it just blows over and people just forget about it entirely. After all, they are only pissing off 500 people, which is relatively small in the grand scheme of things, I would guess.

Easiest $150 I didn't spend.

What is this, CD Collective? Get the fuck outta heeeeere

In all seriousness, I love the decision to go with "deluxe and super deluxe" instead of "standard and deluxe". That's some primo capitalist shit right there.

Got mine today. Looks exactly like the one that other guy got.

Oh, God...someone with a good version of the Revolver variant post a picture quick so I can stop being so nervous until mine gets here on Monday.

Damn, that's exciting, I wonder what it will look like. Red, blue...the options are limitless.

Unbiased opinion from someone who has only listened to Nothing here and there:
This album is good. I like it a bunch. The last half is better than the first. But it builds and I think that's the point. If you like this band, you'll enjoy this LP. If you've never listened to them, ever, this could be a good starting point.
I don't regret the deluxe purchase, but the mylar bag is unnecessary to me. The booklet is fantastic! No squinting at a tiny printed insert.
Overall, 8/10 package & 8/10 record. 
I would have been content with any decent sounding colorway, but the "black in half clear/ half blue with splatter /200" is very nice looking with almost no noise.
 

Good lookin’ out, I still need a copy of this and that looks like a great variant.
