Instead of arguing over your differences, come together and celebrate your sad Hot Topic-centered similarities.

As a personal project, it would be pretty satisfying, fun, and awesome to work on that and get it as perfect as you can.  Not everything needs to be put in the context of "YEAH BUT HOW DOES THIS HELP ME, A GUY ON THE INTERNET?  I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THAT/HAVE SOMEONE INSTALL THAT FOR ME/USE THAT SAME SYSTEM FOR MY OWN RECORDS".

People like building stuff with their hands and brain and this looks dope to do.  Thanks for sharing.

Cueto is solid.  Lots of reasons why he could have struggled during that stretch (new league, minor fatigue/injury, different defense, etc).  His previous 4-5 years of productions aren't trumped by a few weeks of starts in a new league.

People will passionately discuss Hot Topic releases from bands that I've never heard and will never hear. Still, I will somehow find reasons to post in that thread.

New/Sealed

I got $130 for my sealed copy earlier this year but it was listed Buy It Now for about a month before it sold. Good luck!

Just offer the original Hastings price and in the comments write "getting one for the board".

Flexi sticker? I'm in for 14.

I hope it's just the jacket. You can never have too many copies of just the jacket.

You're correct. The $5 charge is above the $2.80-$3.20 base cost for USPS Media Mail. There could be any number of reasons why they charge $5, from the inclusion of handling/packaging costs to a needed flat rate for their internal database/e-commerce's shipping rate calculator. It's not always a greedy band or label up charging you by $1.75 (not that this was your insinuation).

First class is actually a faster and better shipping option than media mail.  It just has a super low weight limit so only small orders with 7"s and cassettes end up qualifying for it.

If you can't handle Brand New fans at their worst, then you don't deserve them at their best.

Are these records rare? Do other people really want them? Should I buy multiple copies now before they sell out? These are the important answers I need to know.

Travis, when will there be another ChasHawk post?

My Hot Topic said they were gonna stop selling vinyl but that the one girl who buys all their colored exclusives and resells them on eBay got really upset and yelled at someone from corporate over the phone so they are going to keep selling records for the time being.

Very elegant recounting of your experience, sir.

Travis, will these be repressed?

IMO this is a way more substantial release than Ursa. To me that felt like a legacy band that squeezed out one last album. I heard two or three big rock radio songs and 7-8 slow one-note "emotional" songs. This one sounds like a band that is having fun and can keep releasing decent alt-pop records for a while. Different strokes though.

Travis usually lets people know if a record is sourced from CDs or mp3s.

I emailed Gohastings about how they canceled six of my orders and proceeded to sell multiple copies of each of those records on their site a few hours later, instead of oh ya know fulfilling existing orders, and this was their response:

Thank you for your email. When you placed your order, we did have the item in stock, however, by the time your order processed through our system and we attempted to fill your order, we had physically sold out from our stores of that item and that is why the order canceled. If you see it available now, it’s because we obtained another copy in our stores. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

No shit, GoHastings.  Thanks for explaining the concept of 'out of stock' to me and completely ignoring the main point of my message.

VC has too much journalistic integrity to discuss the Chapman trade until it's been finalized.

That made me cry. Thank you for sharing your incredible story.

My copy sounds terrible. Anyone want a yellow /75 for cost + shipping?

Sweet. I just got 4 cancellation notices on my dry, gluten-free, sugar-less Hastings cake.
