Well it looks like this thread is pretty much dead now but I'll try anyway. I'm after a copy of Neighbourhoods splatter (preferably unopened and in good condition) if anyone has one and is willing to sell. It's the only one I don't have and would like to complete the set released so far if possible.  I'm also in Australia if that makes a difference or not.

Also, tons of respect for the few members that consistently help out people who live outside of the US, you guys are all-stars.

I couldn't agree more. I mentioned earlier in the thread I had a bloke (he knows who he is) who ordered and sent to me the majority of the albums and I have another who only ordered and is sending me TOMPAJ to complete the set.

I know there's others who have done the same thing for many different members who live overseas and i can honestly say it's very much appreciated from all of us who have received them. You didn't have to take the time to do it so thank you very much.

Hi guys, is there anyone who would be kind enough to purchase TOYPA J (after I send money via PayPal of course) and send it to Australia? The International shipping prices are ridiculously high.

I had another member who went above and beyond to send me the Other albums and didn't want to trouble him again with this one given he's done so much already.

This would have looked awesome with the regular old splatter. Am I the only one not digging this weird peacock looking splatter?

You aren't the only one, i thought exactly the same thing and would've much preferred the reguar splatter. That said there's no way in hell i'm not getting it as i want the whole set.

Found this of the "edit" on EOTS. I wasn't aware until this thread, BUT ALL YOU SUCKAS GOT PLAYED.

 

 

 

I'll stick with my MTS pressing.

 Welcome to a few weeks ago, nice of you to finally catch up.......

As for getting 'played' i couldn't care less that one word was changed and there's no way in hell i wasn't going to leave this album out and not complete this collection over something so trivial because lets be honest, that'd be just plain dumb. That's just my opinion though, each to their own and all that.

Cheers for the welcome Derek very much appreciated. I was hoping it didn't come across as a whinge (whine) but i guess we're all here after the same thing so i'm sure the majority will understand the bullshit international shipping rates we have to pay. A month or so ago i picked up TOYPAJ splatter on ebay from the States and while i expectedly paid a bit over twice as much for the actual album given it's harder to come by, i only paid $12 for shipping by first class USPS international mail and that included tracking.

How HT can justify charging a bit over $40 for what is essentially the same thing and say they're "looking into cheaper options" i'll never know. But anyway i've said my piece on that and will move on. As for your suggestion on fellow board members maybe being able to help out i've sent a private message which i hope went through to someone so hopefully we can work out something between us so thanks again.

On a side note, fair call Conker lol I don't mind the Cows at all, Manly, Stains and Parra on the other hand..........

I really wish that also applied to international shipping as well. $40 to deliver to Australia is an absolute joke in this day and age and HT should be ashamed for charging such exorbitant/extortionate rates IMO. I've had much bigger and heavier items shipped from all over the world for a hell of a lot more cheaper and while i'm more than happy to pay the going rate for whatever it costs, even a bit more, $40 is just an out and out rip off.

I emailed HT and got a reply saying that they're right now looking into ways to reduce costs for International shipping and they'll "get back to me ASAP" when they come up with a solution but somehow i won't be holding my breath. Here's a solution, go to the post office, charge what the shipping (plus a bit more) is actually worth and work out your price that way! Surely that's not a hard concept to grasp given the majority of other online reatailers have worked it out long ago.

Sorry for the rant guys especially being my first post I happened upon this forum after Googling Blink 182 forum and while i couldn't be happier to have found it and these splatter LP's, as much as i want to purchase them all it's just about impossible to justify spending just over $40 to send each album.

 

Yes, I'm aware that Hot Topic doesn't make a killing on shipping fees.
