  1. I didn't mean Travis specifically, I just said "someone with pull." Like I said, it's a super long shot, but maybe there's a sympathetic Hot Topic higher-up who lurks this thread and could help out the people who missed the order? If it's true one person legitimately got 1/10th of the entire inventory, depriving a ridiculous amount of people of this record variant due to the way it's being released, and someone at HT decides to either cut or cancel that order - or even if someone at HT knows about a remaining batch - it would be cool of them to offer another chance to buy to the people who've posted about missing out, on this site and others. Unrealistic, but still cool. RE: the order never going through...the thing for me was that I was ready and waiting for it to go up and managed to place my order under 3 minutes after it was posted and even then just got stuck at the "Submit Order" button...so either it sold out in something like 90 seconds or there was an error with the website for some people, probably due to the massive traffic like you stated. I was about to ask the people here who DID get their order through on the site if their order has a timestamp for when it went through but ultimately it doesn't matter I suppose. Even if it was 20 minutes after I placed my order attempts it can still be chalked up to an overload that some people like myself experienced and others didn't. And yes, a cancellation notice definitely would have been worse. Missing this record isn't the end of the world, especially now 2 days after the fact looking back on it, though I'm still definitely searching...and if anyone finds an extra, as always, PM me! Even disregarding my experience of striking out 4 times in a row with buying this record, I'm mostly just bummed that such a good album with such great variants/layout/artwork from the pics I've seen has been released on vinyl in a way from the start (not just HT) that leaves something to be desired IMO. Not the band's fault of course, and I do love that they released limited test presses/hand-written lyrics/drumheads etc despite missing them by seconds each time they went up, but the overall execution for the physical releases of this LP seemed off. P.S. Semi-related; anyone who's going to the shows now that the album's out want to give reports on what versions of the vinyl are for sale at the merch booth, if any? in b4 hand-numbered tour variant LP limited to 14 copies, each with unique hand-drawn artwork, with only one for sale at each remaining date with a lottery to decide who gets it each night.
  2. FYI made 2 final attempts (no essay, promise!) yesterday and today. First was another call yesterday to HT customer support but got a guy who said he saw it in my cart and saw I'd tried to order it and told me to refresh and it would go through...when it didn't he told me to try a diff browser. When that didn't work either he said "guess it's sold out." Had no info about it coming back in stock or anything like that. Attempt 2: haven't read through the thread since my post 10 pages or so ago so apologies if someone else posted something similar, but my second and final attempt was to call my "local" (2 hrs away) Hot Topic, got a different employee who said "says we'll be getting it December 10th. Maybe. I don't know. Try pre-ordering it to our store online. Oh, it says it's sold out online? Yeah, that probably means we won't be getting it but I don't know." When I asked if any stores nearby had it, like anywhere in New England, he checked and said "nope, nobody has it in stock" in and when I asked about "how about any stores anywhere" he said "none that I can see." Also, I managed to keep this post to 2 paragraphs hooray!
  3. If so, would srsly apreesh someone with pull patching my original order through if at all possible, as it was placed before they actually sold out online. It's just that 30+ minutes of trying and the "Submit Order" button never did anything, as I explained in way too much detail like 11 pages back an hour or two after it happened. Still have the checkout window open just in case (proof). Can PM more proof/member number/uncensored address and all that jazz if necessary, though I'm sure it's a long shot. Sucks that securing a copy for myself much less 2 for my friends at anything close to retail price seems so unlikely.
  4. Music/vinyl obsession is a hell of a drug! Though that is actually a big part of it, the real reasons are more like A.) crazy into Circa Survive lately, esp this record and B.) trying to overly immerse myself with things I most enjoy/am the most passionate about to distract from a bunch of tragic shit that's been happening in my personal life lately. Lesson learned though; moderation is key. Though that Hot Topic online thing is gonna bug me for a while regardless. If anyone does happen to grab any extra though and you're feeling generous, I'm still in the market to buy! Just not at crazy costs plz. Right, I said it was not the actual record itself that was a "white whale"/"holy grail" for me, it was just the fact that I missed the other versions of this release by seconds and then I actually caught this one from the first second but seemingly random site glitches over the next 30 minutes caused me to lose it anyway. I.E. it was important to me not to miss out on the last variant after the ultra-frustrating near-misses with the others which hyped it up rather than this being my ultimate dream LP. (Though actually, looking at the top-voted definition of "white whale" on UrbanDictionary, maybe the term was more appropriate than I thought...) Meh, only a little bit (For real, apologies if I annoyed anyone by posting lengthy/detailed posts about the band/the vinyl in this thread over the past couple days. Notes taken, stepping away from the keyboard now!)
  5. Hot Topic Customer Service said they will not be coming back in stock online after he tried to put it on backorder for me over the phone. Also, to add insult to injury, the one record flipper selling this as a pre-sale on eBay had 10 for sale this afternoon for $49.99 each + shipping with two sold...sometime in the past few hours he upped his price to $79.99 + shipping and seven more have sold since then, leaving only one remaining of the 10. If anyone wants to pay over eighty dollars for this (I think I'll pass) here's the link: please don't actually do it/support this though (srsly)
  6. Unbelievable...placed the order as SOON as I saw it come up here, one for me, one for each of my two friends who I promised I would get it for if I happened to catch it online in time (also texted them the second it came up to tell them I'd managed to get it for them). It was IN STOCK, I'd already signed up for an account ahead of time to save time/get that 10% sign-up discount code, got ALL the way through the checkout process, clicked "SUBMIT ORDER" and literally nothing happened. Thought it might be my browser so I tried Firefox...same thing. Then I *removed* all 3 copies from my cart, went back to the link again where it STILL showed as in stock, and this time tried with PayPal instead of my credit card. Went through the PayPal screen, logged into PayPal, all fine, then got directed back to HotTopic order process after logging in/confirming the PayPal info, got to the final screen again, clicked "SUBMIT ORDER" button and once again nothing happened. Here's what it says at the bottom of the screen: Click submit order only ONCE per order.Each click will be processed as a separate order. The screen may appear inactive while your order is being processed. Please be patient. Your credit card/PayPal will not be charged until the order ships. So the "The screen may appear inactive while your order is being processed." warning at the bottom made me think it had gone through...I was also simultaneously F5'ing this thread making sure it was still in stock and remember seeing the post "complete circa variant collection lives to see another day " at 9:12PM, F5'd a few minutes later to see "Annnd bought. At least I don't have to F5 that HT page all day tomorrow." and "Got it. More expensive than the black pressing but I think it looks good enough that it's worth it." at 9:15PM and 9:16PM Eastern, respectively. The first post here saying it was out of stock was at 9:30PM, by which point I'd already ordered the thing in every way possible while it was still in stock. Around 9:20PM-ish I got fed up, thought it must be my computer, and got out my ancient Macbook, logged in on that, waited forever for it to boot up, tried ordering just 1 and boom, OUT OF STOCK. I immediately called Hot Topic customer service, told them all this, and was told "yeah, I don't know what to tell you...try again tomorrow?" After I said that would not work he said alright let me take down your credit card info and order info and address etc and I'll place the order over the phone for you"...so I gave him all that just for him to say at the end "Oh...yeah, that's out of stock, can't order it for you." I told him multiple times it was in stock and I placed the order, deleted the cart, added them back again and everything and it was still in stock and this original ordering was all (at the time) over 30 minutes ago and began RIGHT after it appeared in stock on the site and he said "alright, well, I'll place it on back order for you so you'll get it as soon as it's back in stock, plus I'll give you free shipping" and I told him I doubt that would work but he said there was nothing else he could do so I said fine...he typed some stuff in and then said "oh, never mind, it's not letting me do that either. It's out of stock." I asked if there was anyone else I could speak to and he said "they're just gonna tell you the same thing." I said I placed the order while it was in stock, tried multiple browsers and methods of payment, and should be able to get this since I'd been waiting so long for it and had tried literally everything to buy it while still in stock to which his response was to ignore all that and reply sarcastically "Anything else I can do for you?" After missing the test press, lyric bundle, drum head all by seconds and now this...(check my post history)...plus after staying up past 3AM my time for a possible 12:00AM pacific release last night JUST so I wouldn't miss it...and then literally spending half the day researching how to get this thing (again, check my post history), F5'ing a ton of sites, FINALLY finding it and adding it to my cart and checking out exactly when it went online (my browser history shows 8:58PM Eastern as when I visited the mobile link for the purchase, which was posted here by bibLLiosoph 1 minute earlier at 8:57PM Eastern; I checked out using the desktop/web version on my PC less than a few mins later) only to miss it again after all that work just to prevent this from happening...uggggghhhhh. I feel cursed. If it is worth anything, I still have the browser window open showing it in my cart on the final checkout screen with the subtotal and everything as well as another browser tab showing 3 of them in my cart after I'd deleted the items and re-added them (it's impossible to access either of these screens anymore now that it's out of stock.) Screenshot #1 (checkout - blurred out my address/unique promo code number from signing up for HT+1 with the green marker) - Screenshot #2: with 3 of them in my cart (also no longer possible to do since selling out) The times at the bottom right is when I took the screenshots, not when I placed the orders...those windows are still open from between 8:58PM and 9:15PM Eastern. Also, yes, I have a ton of tabs open (from all the F5'ing this thread/various other HT vinyl stuff) - it may have been the excess of tabs that caused the "SUBMIT ORDER" button not to work, but everything else went through just fine... And I also did check both PayPal, my credit card site, and my orders on HotTopic and PayPal shows no payment sent, my credit card shows no payment sent, and HotTopic shows no order history. Sorry for the rant, but damn, I tried like mad for this thing and missed a ton of other obligations to dedicate time to getting this so it is crazily frustrating to have it fail like this. Is there anything at all I can do to still get my order through or am I totally screwed? Anybody at Hot Topic that might be able to help? It's not even that this was a white whale vinyl for me, it was just I was so determined not to miss it after missing everything else that's the worst part.
  7. Yeah, hope the lady I talked to was mistaken. As I said in the post before that, don't take the info I got as gospel or anything, just wanted to relay what I'd been told. Decided to pick 5 Hot Topics in/near major metro areas along the East Coast (2 in NJ, 1 in FL, 1 in Virginia, 1 in Ohio) and give each a call to see if they could say anything different and got essentially the same response from all 5. None of them have it; 2 said they would not be getting it but also didn't know which stores would (1 of which said that "probably" no Hot Topics along the east coast would be getting it but I wouldn't give that guy too much credit) and the other 3 checked their system and just said they had no information on it coming to them or anywhere in their region/district and couldn't definitively tell me if they'd be getting it or not yet. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually happens, but that's the info (or non-info) I was able to gather. *Just* saw this post after doing all that research/making those calls and now I feel stupid, haha. Thanks for the info and great to hear it will definitely be available online! I guess my only question is: now that there's been an official announcement about the release and whatnot and with more info coming in, do you know when it will be available online or have a better idea of when it's likely to go up?
  8. PM'd you as well, but are you sure your Hot Topic is getting a few? I was told twice by a Hot Topic employee that this will essentially be a west coast/western U.S. in-store exclusive. I want to believe otherwise but haven't seen or heard anything to contradict it yet.
  9. Here's all the info I was order to obtain regarding the Hot Topic blue/white splatter vinyl: I called 3 Hot Topic stores this morning in the northeast (each about 2 hrs away from me) asking if they had it, they all said no and that they wouldn't be getting it, either. The third store told me that it appears to be a West Coast release only and even then only select stores in the west will be getting it and that, "for sure no Hot Topic stores in our region will be getting it." When I asked what region she meant she said the entire east coast and extending "at least as far as Michigan." Also, she then told me that, for her, it IS online on the Hot Topic website but showed that it was sold out online. She said that this was different than just their store/region not carrying it but that, for her, it appeared on the Hot Topic web store but was sold out. Don't know what to make of that since it apparently never went for sale to the public on there to begin with... I didn't give up there since I know a few people (as in, 2) on the west coast and figured I might be able to get one of them to pick up a copy and ship it to me if I paid them, so I asked her if the stores in their towns had it in stock and she checked and said they didn't/wouldn't be getting it. I asked her if she could tell me what stores *did* have it in stock and she said she'd have to enter a city to check so I started looking up cities near where my friend lives in California and asked about a few of them, was told the first two cities wouldn't be getting any but the third *did* have it and was showing that their store currently has 3 copies in stock. Asked for their phone number, called the California Hot Topic store and asked them about it, talked to another lady who said "no, we don't have it. We got a shipment today and it probably arrived in that but we don't unload until tomorrow so I can't tell you anything until then." Also asked if I could have them ship the vinyl to me from the store if I paid over the phone and unsurprisingly the answer is no. All of this was this morning prior to travis' post with the list of stores in the west coast. After seeing that post and the key phrase "It's definitely still in transit to a lot of stores" I called back the Hot Topic here in the northeast with the helpful lady, talked to her again and asked her about this and again she said that "our region won't be getting it." So while I'm sure it's still in transit to a lot of stores, according to at least one Hot Topic employee, those stores will not be anywhere near the East Coast. Don't take this as gospel or anything, just reporting what I was told. If there is any word to the contrary please let it be known! Lastly, at 3:00PM Eastern, AKA 2 hours and 31 minutes ago, the first "official" word on the Hot Topic variant was published online by Circa's record label, Sumerian Records, on their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/SumerianRecords/photos/a.355014056907.193704.160175836907/10152908175326908/?type=1 The photo says that the Blue/White vinyl is "OUT NOW" and the announcement is: The link just goes to Hot Topic's Facebook page which mentions nothing about the vinyl. Also, still zero appearance of it on the Hot Topic website. According to one of the comments on the Facebook post "there is no online link" and it will be in-store only but that commenter appears to be some random person and I have no idea if they have any actual affiliation with Hot Topic or this release in any way. EDIT: As I was posting this, the same exact photo and caption appeared on Circa Survive's Facebook, at 5:20PM Eastern. Here's the post. So...can it be assumed from all the above info that it will not be for sale officially online (i.e. not on the Hot Topic site and not counting overpriced copies on eBay etc by flippers) and will instead just be available in limited quantities (possibly 3 per store if the HT employee's inventory was accurate and that same number goes for every store...the CA store I called with the "3 in store" seems fairly large, FWIW?) and only for sale in select, physical Hot Topic stores in the western U.S.? And that it will likely not be available at those stores until tomorrow whenever they unload? Or will it in fact be available online at some point? The fact that the one really helpful and seemingly knowledgeable Hot Topic employee I talked to said that the online inventory is already displayed as "sold out" before ever actually going live has me concerned... Also, anyone here on the west coast near one of the stores that'll be carrying it tomorrow want to pick up a copy for me and ship it if I pay you the cost of the record ($26.50 apparently) over PayPal plus shipping/handling and a few bucks extra for the in-store tax, PayPal fee and for your trouble? If so, PM me please! Overall, bummed that it seems that there's no other way for me to get this short of buying a plane ticket to the West Coast tonight and picking it up at a Hot Topic location tomorrow before their store sells out. P.S. jonpasqual - I'd take your offer (price paid for the record plus shipping plus a few extra bucks for tax/fees and your trouble) except your location is listed as New Jersey and according to the Hot Topic employee I talked to today this won't be coming to any Hot Topic stores on the East Coast. That info may be incorrect, and if in fact it does later turn out to be incorrect and your Hot Topic is one of the stores that will be getting it and you're able to pick it up then I'll take your offer, assuming that offer is actual total price paid/shipped + a few bucks extra for your trouble.
  10. Thought I saw dates on the posters but it was dark and tons of people so I was likely wrong about those being Descensus tour posters. Knowing I didn't miss out on them makes me feel better, thanks
  11. RE: tour variants etc Went to the very first date of the Descensus Tour in Boston on November 5th. The merch table didn't include any tour variants from Circa Survive (or any copies of the new record) but I did actually take some photos of the merch they're selling on tour (or least were selling on the first date of the tour) since I figured someone might like to know. Shitty cell phone pics in the dark, but here's what they had: http://i.imgur.com/4T0z551.jpg Shirts/clothing. I do not believe the giant framed bear (?) artwork on the wall was part of the merchandise. The merch table: http://i.imgur.com/Ba0uLAj.jpg In front is a Circa Survive Desensus Tour poster, behind that is a CS logo decal, and behind that was a tip jar and some Circa Survive CDs. I've got tickets to their two final shows of the tour in Philly at Union Transfer that I bought as a Christmas present to myself, so perhaps they'll be selling some unique merch there. Just hoping I can actually make it ("He's got the motive but no transportation" ...sorry). If I'm able to find a way to Philly that weekend I'll try to remind myself to post here after Show #1 if there were any tour variants or special merch or anything. Would HIGHLY recommend going regardless. Right now I'm waiting til midnight Pacific (3AM Eastern, here) for the possibility of the HT variant going online at that time and am bored so I'm going to segue into a story of that night/that show that will highlight how worthwhile it is to go...except I'm going to do so by recapping why being there was so shitty in nearly every respect (bear with me). I was sick as hell, had just arrived in Boston an hour before the show after waiting around in airports/being on last-minute flights all day due to a cancelled flight back to Boston 14 hours beforehand, was planning on going to the show with a really old friend of mine who I never get to see anymore but I ended up going alone; she was at the show too but completely ditched me because she met someone else she knew and left early with him instead without telling me, leading me to wait outside by the entrance - our rendezvous spot in case we couldn't find each other - on the street after the show in freezing temps alone for over 2 hours, with me occasionally texting/calling to no response until finally at 1:50AM I got a message from her saying the friend wanted to leave early so she did and was now with him some 150 miles away. I sent a pic of the closed venue entrance/totally empty street with the caption "Oh. Well, I'm still here.." to which she replied with a thumbs up emoticon. I kinda figured after the first 20 mins she wasn't gonna show so I did have a back-up plan/ulterior motive in waiting outside on the street in the freezing cold for over 2 hours, since the tour bus was right there idling that entire time and I was waiting for the band/Anthony to come out so I could say hi (met Anthony once before, seriously the nicest guy ever) and there were maybe 30 or so other fans waiting on the street for the first half hour after the show with the same hopes, then about a dozen people left at the 1 hour mark; I briefly talked to one guy who said that Anthony ALWAYS comes out after shows (dunno how true this is) and commented how it was weird that it had taken this long. That guy and his friends left sometime in the next hour and by the 2 hour mark it was only me and two other girls further down the street who figured I was with the band since I'd been standing there alone the entire time after everyone else left, so they came up to me and asked if Anthony would be coming out. I apologized and told them I wasn't with the band and was just waiting as well, which sucked to have to tell them because I could see they were really disappointed and they left right after, at which point it was only me. 20 minutes later I got the thumbs up text from my friend and was like 'k time to call it a night' and left. Also, immediately after Circa left the stage and the house lights came on I asked the security guard behind the barrier if he could please hand me the setlist which was directly behind him on stage to which he replied "Fuck off." I was the first one to ask for a setlist and a bunch of other people followed suit but just got totally ignored by security - I was the only one to get a "fuck off." I figured someone on stage might hand them out so I stuck around against the barrier and after 5 minutes of standing there alone, silently waiting amongst maybe 20 other people - most yelling "setlist! setlist!" at the various dudes cleaning up the stage after security refused to acknowledge them - I got a tap on the shoulder by the same security guard and was told "show's over, need to clean up the floor, you gotta go." I get this, except literally no one else got tapped on the shoulder and was told to leave except for me...everyone else standing behind the barrier with me was still just chatting with their friends or yelling "setlist" and no one got asked to leave besides me which struck me as needlessly douchey, even for security. I was about to respond but then the guy recognized someone who had crowd surfed earlier during the set and went over to yell at him instead, so with that security guard busy berating the fan I just hung around with the rest of the fans behind the barrier waiting for the slim possibility of a setlist. About 2 mins later someone on stage picked up one of the three setlists (one was on the left of the stage, one center, one on the right) and threw it over to someone maybe 6 people to the left of me, and right after this another security guard finally turned around and picked up the setlist on the right side of the stage and handed it to a chick about 6 people to my right. Then there was the center setlist that I was directly in front of and had asked for (using the word "please," no less) and the douche security guard sees his opportunity, stops berating the random crowd surfer, walks back over in front of me and peels off the final setlist and hands it to me - I thanked him and began to laugh because I figured he must have been playing around with the whole "fuck off" thing and singling me out to leave when I was just standing there silently, so as he's reaching out to hand it to me and looking at me he suddenly pulls a "PSYCH!" face and gives it to the girl standing directly beside me who hadn't even been there until about 30 seconds beforehand. Dude then gives me a smug look and walks off. Finally, I was in line at the merch table to buy that tour poster seen in my pic above - there were originally a stack of 'em; here's another merch table pic I took as I was two people behind in line as proof...and yes, that photo is of the guy 2 people ahead of me buying one of them, leaving one remaining (see the pic I took right afterward, back at the beginning of this post). Then the one guy left ahead of me in line buys the poster and sure enough, the merch guy tells him it's his lucky day because that's the last one. So then it's my turn in line and the merch guy, in a rush, asks me what I want and after standing in line all that time and seeing the tour posters taken away I was kind of flustered and said "uhhhh" and he said "come on, venue's closing" so I bought a decal and got out my credit card and the merch dude was packing things up and had his back to me and said something I couldn't understand but sounded like "no plastic...minimum plastic is 30" so I figured I'd buy a Circa Survive hoodie plus the decal, and even though I already own the exact same CS hoodie I figured I'd give it as a gift for my friend at our rendezvous spot on the street since it was so cold outside that night and her birthday was coming up, so I asked for the CS hoodie and the decal ($45 for the hoodie, $5 for the decal, $50.00 total) and tried handing him my credit card again but he said "told you, no credit, broken" or something like that so I went digging through my wallet for cash, found two twenties, a five and two ones...then had to dig out change from my pocket and try and count out exactly three dollars in dimes and shit as fast as possible while merch dude was in a rush and everyone behind me in line (who were being pressured out of the venue by security) all looked at me like "REALLY!?" Good news is I actually did have 3 dollars in coins though so I got the hoodie and the decal. Bad news of course being I never got to deliver the hoodie as a gift to my friend because she'd left much earlier (though I did not know this at the time and wouldn't know til nearly 2.5 hours later...and sadly we had a falling out because of that night so it didn't seem quite appropriate to ship it to her as a bday gift later). The point in this whole rambling mess? That all sucked but it was ALL MADE WORTH IT BY CIRCA SURVIVE'S PERFORMANCE. Seriously. Despite all the suckage immediately before and after, they put on such a fucking flawless (and LONG) set that I'll remember the passion and energy in that show and in that crowd and being a part of every second of it *long* after forgetting the other shit that happened that same night; it's still all pretty recent so I can recall it all now but in the end doesn't mean much when juxtaposed with such an overwhelmingly positive experience on the same night. I've seen them live before, first time being over 8 years ago, and this was the best set I've seen from them by a long shot. They covered so much material, the energy from the band has never been higher, it was them at absolute top form. Go. You won't regret it. TL;DR: Boredom + insomnia induced story about shitty night that I don't care was shitty in retrospect because of how good Circa's set was. If you/anyone else has the chance to see them on this tour, absolutely take it. P.S. In the time it took to write out my Circa Survive show story midnight pacific/3AM eastern has come and gone (now 3:28AM Eastern) and still no sign of the vinyl anywhere on the Hot Topic site. Maybe in the morning?
  12. According to this source the "expected online release date" for the Hot Topic variant is November 24th, 2014...AKA today, if you're on the East Coast, though it's only been the 24th for under a half hour so far. There's a link to "Buy Now" which just redirects to the Hot Topic vinyl merch section, which (as of 12:29AM Eastern) does not have it available. Tried searching Circa Survive on the site as well and only got 1 result, for a t-shirt. So I'm guessing/hoping later today? Not sure how fast this will go; hoping I don't miss out on it like I did on the test press/lyrics/signed drum head when those went live.
  13. Wanted the lyrics sheet more than anything else (including the test press) - missed the lyrics yesterday evening due to a browser error (was gone by the time I hit "Back") and then saw a miraculous Facebook status update saying there were some more available and yet I missed it again - already sold out. If anyone got a hold of a copy and wants to sell or trade let me know please!
  14. To answer my own question from two posts ago ("Can anyone provide more info on the vinyl for sale at the shows specifically?") they just posted a Facebook status this morning saying the following: Still no official confirmation of whether or not these US pressings are on colored vinyl or not, but since they didn't mention it I'd venture to say they're black. Also, take this with a grain of salt because it's just a random Facebook comment from a guy and nothing official from the band/label (as far as I know) but in the comments section for that status someone asks "What color are the records?" and someone else replies "Black" Also FYI; ordering the bundle of The Complete Collection 2X CD (they didn't mention "The Complete Collection" 2X CD will be sold on tour, though it may be) plus the two LPs from the Arena Rock site with s&h comes to a grand total of $72.97 (at least when shipped to my neck of the woods in the U.S.). Ordering just the two LPs from Arena Rock without The Complete Collection CD (aka no bundle) comes to $65.98 with shipping. If the $30 price for the LPs at the shows is accurate and they don't charge tax or anything that would mean buying the two LPs from them on tour would be $60, so you'd save about $6 in shipping vs online (depending on where you live, shipping may vary) and would presumably also be helping support the band more that way (not sure if this is accurate, just a guess)...plus you'd have the LPs in hand now and wouldn't have to wait til October 21st to get them. So I hope all that info helps some people make some decisions about what/when/where to buy etc. Personally I've decided to buy a TON of merch from them directly at their show(s) tomorrow (both LPs, the print, at least 1 t-shirt, more stuff if they have it) and will be happy to share photos and whatnot of the LPs on here plus any extra merch when I get back. I already kinda blew my savings on the round trip plane trip out there + the hotel but I do love this band and this'll be my only chance to see them (and hopefully more directly support them by buying from them at the show) so I figured I might as well make it count and go all out with the merch, so I'll have plenty of pics to share when I get back for those interested! Unrelated P.S. Has it been confirmed anywhere how many copies of these records are being pressed, either for the US or the UK editions?
  15. I'll be flying out to Cleveland to see them play the early and late shows on 9/12 - was gonna go on a road trip for their east coast leg of the tour but that sadly didn't work out. Can anyone who's been to any of their 7 U.S. shows so far confirm what they had for sale in terms of vinyl/merch? So far I've heard a tour print, a few t-shirts, and a copy of The Power of Failing LP. Can anyone provide more info on the vinyl for sale at the shows specifically? Is it the remastered 180 gram 45rpm gatefold or something else? Colored vinyl or black? Did they have the 2x "Complete Collection" CD for sale? Still trying to decide whether to A.) Wait 'til the show and buy whatever they have for sale there B.) Order the US LPs and CD from the Arena Rock site which may or may not have the LPs on colored vinyl (still unclear on this) C.) Order the U.K. LPs on colored vinyl from Xtra Mile or Amazon.co.uk D.) Some combination of the above
