Ha. Wow! Well that makes me want to change my name...

I was gonna do that DURING the order process. I thought the added excitement of it all failing might heighten the rush...

So from my understanding, for those who haven't used Mondo before: 1. Create an account early 2. Make sure addresses etc are correct 3. Items in baskets aren't safe until orders have been submitted 4. Use PayPal for a quicker checkout 5. Items normally go up just under 3 hours from now, even though they're supposedly a "random time" Is that right? Am I missing anything? Wanna make sure this is smooth, as I can see a bunch of non-vinyl idiots trying to get their hands on it.

Cool, will give it a listen and report back! I mean it's not that I think Deja is a BAD album, it just doesn't really do anything for me personally. Definitely doing Deja first makes sense! It will obviously sell a lot more than others. That said, there must be other albums which would give you a good amount of sales. Guess it's just working out what ones...

Been keeping an eye on this thread. Love the idea, but not a fan of the album/band (maybe you had to be into them at the time?). Would love to see this on some other albums. It would work well on so much, different colours could be cool. That may be costly though? Just throwing a few ideas out there: Nothing - Guilty of Everything (maybe different colours for the different variants, or just a choice of white or black?) Alice In Chains - Dirt Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Opeth - Watershed (lime green!?) Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin (choice of white or black?) Foo Fighters - One by One, or Echoes...

Nice! I picked up tickets for the show at the Royal Albert Hall here in September, and then more for another show about an hour's train journey (Brighton) in January. After his show earlier in the year in London, this will make it 3 times in a year! Feel like I'm being spoilt! I'm in the same boat though, anything from his solo work and PT I'll buy religiously.

This! x1000000 Any chance of this? Even just for us VC members as a one off?

I love this place. Always good to see people helping others out for no reason other than the goodness of their heart. Cant really see there's any way around it for us people in Europe unfortunately. I just added 2 of the metal iron giant variants to my cart out of interest and shipping cost for that came to $66. Needless to say my wallet is in the corner of the room crying. I can take the hit though. This is a one-off, and something I've been waiting a long time for!

Fuck yeah! Wednesday!! Works out perfect for me. Can't wait...

Hoping TLOU is this week! Can't see any news on what day yet. Anyone heard anything?

That explains the name... What a shitty story man. That makes me sad Ultimately though, it sounds like it's actually helped you appreciate the music more, which is really what we all love. Can't personally justify variant collecting. Just seems like a waste of money when I could be buying something else. I get why people do it though, we all have our different tastes. I think its like anything, if it becomes a strain financially or otherwise, it needs to stop. It's no different to any other hobby in that respect, but I guess for others there comes a time when you just grow out of it, or get bored of it, or whatever.

Just bumping this as it looks like pre-orders are up for The Hunter in a few places (Amazon etc). Don't know if anyone is interested, but thought I'd say as I just saw it whilst browsing. Single LP...

Caught Colin taking a nap at the top of our stairs earlier.... He promptly woke up though! This is his first year going outside, the sun is making his face really ginger!

Don't worry, I'm sure she'll forgive you when she sees how awesome they are

I always knew this was gonna hurt my wallet. Some releases you just have to make an exception for I guess. International shipping is still gonna be a bitch though!

I knew you'd be in for this Sasan!

£24.99!? Christ...

I will burn this thread to the ground if this sells out before I can get one! On a lighter note, any idea what day it's happening?

God dammit! If someone can get me both that would be AMAZING! Or even just one of them.... I'm in the UK, but obviously happy to pay shipping etc.

All I'm saying is, there better be some Saxamaphone on this album....

Ah my bad! Thought he was in the UK trying to get a copy.

Unless I've severely misunderstood, you can order a copy in the UK here: http://www.bandstores.co.uk/shop/tesseractstore/products.php?cat=4402 Extra £5 for a signed copy it seems.

Oh god! Plus shipping, AND customs charges!! I was so close to paying off my credit card at long last... Fuck it, what's another month!

Whilst that does look cool, and I'm pretty tempted, they DID use the word "vinyl s" on that page....
