Damn. Time to move to America.

 

Haha yeah, that'd be ideal. I actually am going to Florida in august for 2 weeks. If there's any Blink albums in a hot topic there I'll pick them up, but I can't ever afford to order one from America again I don't think.

 

Yeah you get charged for anything over £15 it's cheaper to buy off someone flipping them on ebay than from hot topic direct.

 

Guys, just hit up gkersey. all of your problems are solved:

I  did get a better deal through Hot Topic than I would have done by asking a member by ordering 3 albums at once (shipping doesn't really increase) and then using a discount code. I completely forgot about customs charges though,  :-(

Wow. £28 ($48) shipping for my order and today I received a £26 ($44) customs charge for it. This is fucking ridiculous, I give up on my splatter collection already

Looks like there are some copies of Enema back up. Enema, Dude Ranch and Buddha cost me $100ppd to England. Thought I may as well bite the bullet and order them whilst multiple are up at the same time - asking someone else to ship them wouldn't have saved much as Hot Topic's shipping doesn't vary when you buy 2 or 3 things. My bank balance hurts regardless 

It really is a great album. I ordered the random mix, hopefully it'll turn out looking good. Looks like there's only 1 random left through FITA, can't check on Six Pine

Searched and I couldn't find anything on this, so:

UK Preorder

US Preorder

 

Pressing info (both labels):

Caramel /100
Random /100
Teal /300

Really can't decide on this. Already have a copy on black, I don't know how it'll sound and shipping to the UK will be ridiculous. Fucking records, man

Is this the splatter /300 (mailing list) variant? Or did they send me the wrong one? Looks more like a marble to me.

 

Yep, that is the /300 splatter, there was a mix up at the pressing plant or something. Kinda disappointed with how mine looks, wish I got the EU variant instead

Basement - I Wish I Could Stay Here (black 1st press [record release] #11/25)

 

Jesus, I'm betting that cost you a fair bit!

 

Tangled Talk records put up some leftover copies of Listener / Wooden Heart, so I grabbed one of those. Ordered a bunch of stuff from Dog Knights (great UK label) and the new Tigers Jaw LP on maroon/cream. Also, I've been looking for a star burst copy of State Lines / For The Boats for a while now, and today I found one on discogs for $12, so that's pretty cool

Well thank you all for letting me know anyway. Makes me wonder whether something did happen - why would he send all the others out and then choose to discredit himself just over the last record/$40? I sorta found his facebook and sent him a message there too, so we'll see.

Unless you opened a PayPal dispute within 45 days...yup.  

Yep - I allowed him almost that time for shipping (US to UK) before hassling him, so that by the time I determined that me not receiving it was intentional, it had surpassed 45 days. Probably my own fault really, but I was sure he was going to reply with an excuse or something and it would be fine after people on the board stated how good of a guy he is. I guess not. This sucks, but there's nothing I can do now I guess.

I don't know if anyone's concerned or knows if I can do anything, but I never got that tour press from bobby drake. Ignored multiple emails and PM's since February. I assume I'm essentially screwed at this point

hit up user gkersey. He buys for folks overseas and I'd be willing to guess he would hold on to em.

Thanks! will do

I doubt it, they are going to ship those as soon as you order them. They won't hold your orders.

 

Fair enough, thanks

I posted a little update on Neightborhoods and the S/T repress

 

Thanks! As Enema, Dude Ranch and Greatest Hits are being released (reasonably) close together, do you think I'd have any luck emailing customer support and asking if I could combine shipping to the UK? 

Tried and failed for almost an hour to get the pink. Oh man

Mine arrived today. Did anyone see how cool those TBS record release cover rips are? I'd love one, but their next couple of shows are all half way across the country from me, unfortunately  

Donovan Wolfington - Stop Breathing on pink http://www.distrosaurusrex.com/?product=donovan-wolfington-stop-breathing&attribute_pressing=2nd-pink

 

Dopethrone - III on clear http://totemcatrecords.bigcartel.com/product/dopethrone-iii

 

Barnes & Noble

 

Skittles

 

Thanks man! this is really cool of you. 

Yes received it very fast he is awesome.

You can see if he's read any message you've sent him, I'm guessing he hasn't logged in

Yep, just checked and he hasn't read anything since February it seems. Thanks for the help, hopefully it'll turn out alright

Did everyone that bought a tour copy of Bobbydrake33 receive it okay? I bought if off of him February 20th, and still haven't got anything in the mail or heard back from him. I am in the UK so it's possible it got lost, but I've sent him a message or two since with no reply. I'm not accusing him of anything at this point as all others seem to have received theirs fine and he may just not have been on VC, who knows. His last activity it hidden too. If anyone knows anything, that'd be cool

Am I correct in thinking that this will be up at 4am GMT? This sucks. If they sell in a 'as many made as bought' manner then I should be alright. It looks like they did that last year?

Wow. I would kill for those Somos, State Lines and Hotelier variants. My Tiny Engines pre-order game isn't very strong, apparently

Picked up a solid blue variant of this tonight when they played here in Sheffield (not the mixed variants).

Can't seem to find any info on the pressing, but one of their facebook posts from early March says for collectors to watch for info re: solid blue. Might be tour only in that case.

Tour and distro variant. /400 or something if I remember correctly

Site is running fine for me. $37 shipped to the UK isn't too bad for a 2xLP - almost half of what it would cost me to buy a record from Hot Topic, haha. I traded my black copy of this for something a few weeks ago in anticipation for this, just happy to have ordered the early bird variant!

Pre-orders just went up. There's a green/yellow early bird edition /2000 and the red too, both 180g
