If anyone spots the Modest Mouse 7” at the (ridiculous) retail price of $24.99, I’d be grateful for a heads up. Edit: got one. Thanks friends!

I think retail is selling them all in blind boxes. You can take a shot at Zia for $10+shipping: https://www.ziarecords.com/p/7088905/third-man-blind-box-mini-3-vinyl

Zia has copies of the Third Man Records 3" Blind Box, if anyone is looking: https://www.ziarecords.com/p/7088905/third-man-blind-box-mini-3-vinyl

Well that sucked. Off to eBay. Lots of decent BINs this morning.

What a turd: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/928408206

If anyone up in Canada happens across an extra GITD, I’d be grateful for some help on this one!

Anyone get a GITD yet? Black/crushing disappointment for me.

They switch the order around for each Vault package: A to Z vs. Z to A, and USA first vs. international first.

No, I’m still waiting for tracking to go live. Last name “S” in the US. Not sure what order they were shipping these in, but I assume I’m towards the end.

Don’t forget the “soft touch” box

The veterans among us will remember Vault #19. It would take something special to beat that package in terms of bad value. This is not it.

Realistic value is hard to pin down because it’s mostly just unsold eBay BINs and listings on Discogs well above average sold price. But yeah, it’s not $2.50 or whatever Amazon had it for anymore.

If anyone wants to trade their copy of Phoebe’s “Killer” 7” for my BOCC 7”, hit me up.

It’s been the same print all tour (not show-specific). I think they are just running low, so may be rationing now to stretch them through the rest of the dates.

Was it the mostly black and white art poster? It’s out of 500. Took a long time to sell the pile in NY last night (couple hours maybe), but perhaps they’re getting more limited now.

Don’t even bother with PledgeMusic. They don’t deal with fulfillment. You might try sending a message to Jose’s Facebook. Will let you know if I hear anything myself.

Apparently they are selling about 16 copies of the 7” per show. Not limited to one per person (though possible they’d decline unreasonable demands). I got here 45 mins early and was about 20th in line outside and had no problems. I could’ve come later. They still had them at least 15 mins after doors. YMMV Also, apparently 1000 pressed.

They posted it across three posts on their Facebook page in early March. Cool, but based on the bands I know well, no original/new stuff.

Not sure where they’re popping up online or for how much, but Taz is selling for $29.99 plus shipping (though admittedly Canada Post shipping is not very cheap—I paid $32 to ship 3 copies to the US). You can call them at 902-422-5976 or e-mail at [email protected].

So these are already available locally in Halifax. Taz Records is taking mail orders by phone or email. Done!

Did the poster seem any easier?

Apparently only the box sets, black vinyl, signed colored vinyl and t-shirts were fulfilled domestically. Everything else is coming from Europe. I’m still waiting on a signed lyric sheet and Polaroid. His US management is looking into the status for me. Will let you know if I hear back.

And apparently it’s a 2LP cut at 45rpm.

Thrush Hermit. Clayton Park. It’s finally happening. Edit: got my copy sorted.
