This is so freakin unffair! hahaha... I can't even pay through Hot Topic cuz I'm not in the US... and people re-selling (un-preordered) items at a 300% is terrible for people who can't access them the easy way, anyone who can help me buying these HT releases and send them to my bro on San Diego CA? Please!! hehe.

Had to make some changes as I couldn't find a way to keep my room straight with so many records... turned out like this...






 
 

Shhhhh. He/she needs to experience damaged records for themselves!

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Also don't lie to this person there is nothing easy about shipping records through the mail. The first time they get a seam split it will break their heart.

Pre-emptively putting yourself down won't stop dicks from being dicks.  Skip the self-deprecation and be happy with & proud of what you've put together in 2 months.  Executing a nice, clean, cohesive room design takes some skill and effort.  Having UPS ship you records and buying a nice turntable is the easy part. 

damn, you were the only person i was trying to impress. i'll try harder next time. thanks for downvoting and shitting on something im proud of (even if i dont have the super rare variants)

WHAT? THE? FUCK?

It's definitely an issue with the table, but I have no clue what it could be.
 
Also, seconding the whole we owe the OP an apology thing.

I'm not a "troll", I am, what pretentious experienced vinyl collectors would refer to as a "noob", I guess. Excuse me for trying to solve a vinyl problem on a vinyl forum.

for me, all are in my storage.
collecting variants especially you live in the other side of the planet is hard.
tax, high shipping, no chance to get any special press such fest, record release, last show etc and different time for place an order when the pre-order are launch.
anyway, i love this hobby....

WOW!!! it's freaking insane!! congrats!! Wish I could get Louder Now, one of my favs!

I heard a vinyl rip of the pic disc and it sounds amazing

I don't understand the hate, especially coming from a community that values buying multiple copies of the same album (variant collectors). Not saying anything against that, but I just think it's a bit hypocritical to be bashing this guy/thread because he likes collecting/preserving the original packaging. After all, isn't the physical aspect of vinyl one of the reasons we all enjoy vinyl? 
 
 
But again, back on topic, I saw a video a while ago of a guy going through some albums he bought, all were old LPs that still had the shrink wrap on them (opened on the sides). They were all still in perfect condition. Granted, none were gatefolds. 

Maybe I'm too new, but... this is trolling/dumb? He's asking whether you remove the plastic wrap or just open it to get records out and then leave it on. Right?
 
If it's just shrink wrap, I get rid of it. I don't really care about stickers that just label the vinyl color or whatnot. But some albums come with a larger sleeve, which is what I store my records in anyway. Dopethrone comes like this, and the actual lettering is on the outer sleeve rather than the gatefold. So in that case, I like keeping the original packaging. But it already tore. So... w/e, I'll eventually get rid of it and replace it with one of my generic sleeves. Doesn't make much difference to me!

Who cares how he came to see this? Who cares if he's a fan? So many people here like Taylor Swift and Ke$ha, who cares if someone likes Britney Spears?
