This will probably be, what, $250 at least? Don't care, I'm going to buy the hell out of it.

I suppose the splatter is limited and if you didn't get in on the Amazon preorder before they pulled it you'll be screwed.

So maybe a fell asleep during the movies but can anyone explain the sides of Aliens and Prometheus to me? Aliens goes Drone, Warrior, Praetorian,  and Queen, and Prometheus goes G, C, A, and T. I like that it's different but it is a little confusing (maybe I'm an idiot, we'll see).

 

Drone and Queen make sense but the rest don't seem to make much sense me to me.

On Aliens they're using different "ranks", for lack of a better word because I'm not a biologist, of aliens to denote the side. On Prometheus they're using the different base proteins of DNA (since the Engineers made us!).

I really want Freddy with glasses. I like the other pin too but I don't want to start another hobby. I might try for the elm street print as well. 

What is the random time Mondo usually chooses to put stuff up 11/12?

It's usually between 11:40-12:00 Eastern time.

The Jack ones leaked pretty bad. The Friday the the 13th ones were made WAY better, had no problems with it.

The guy who made the F13 records also made these. He said he refined the process a bit more so they should be pretty sturdy. And they won't dry out, either.

On which release did they apparently drop an "L"? I haven't followed any Spacelab stuff since the Better Call Saul 7" fiasco.

Heads up, completists!

Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet 4LP (anyone know about this?)

It's just the Kids in the Hall theme on repeat. Picture discs where each side has a different Kid face, plus Paul Bellini, his towel, and Cabbage Head.

I don't remember who it was far earlier in the thread who mentioned this and helped convince me to pick it up BUT- if, like me, your favorite Mondo release is THE VISITOR, do yourself a favor and pick up The Poliziotteschi Files. It's super great and still available!

I mean I only got here this month so that's probably why I missed that, and I only found out about them like the 1st week of january (and by then they must have been sold out)

Yeah, the boxed set was limited. I don't remember the pressing amount, though. The slipcase looks like the plutonium box and the cover art and vinyl colors are all different from the individual releases. Sold out in a hour or two, I think.

I've always used Amazon or Soundstage Direct.

SSD packs like a champ. They'll even remove the vinyl from the jacket so it won't get seam splits during shipping if you request it.

And MOV usually sell their items in resealabe covers so it's not like you're losing out on shrink wrap with hype stickers, if you're that anal about it.

I really like the music on this album.

I kind of wish it sucked so his death wouldn't have been such a bummer but I love it. The sax part on Lazarus is so killer.

People know the LP is still available online, right? I bought one last night.

I know some people are opting to just buy one at the shows, but for those of you afraid to miss out and who can't make it to a show.

I did not know that! I had been checking the site all last week when it kept saying "sold out". Thanks for the heads up!

Does anyone else have the problem where literally every other order that is shipped gets trapped in a vortex for a week at the Austin post office? I know it's not Mondo's fault but it's mind-boggling. What the hell is going on down there?

The mix-tape part. I would literally never listen to this, and I doubt very many people do.

 

$1 bin records slapped with some nice packaging.

 

Which I admit is beautiful aesthetically, but the content leaves much to be desired.

Man what. There are so many classics in that mix!

Omg everyone sooOoOOoOoo rank your 3 favorite Mondo vinyl releases that you own!! Ready set go!!

The Visitor

Jurassic Park

Oblivion

Honorable mention to Here Comes the Devil.

I don't think Edmiston does any screen prints. Usually uses too many colors for that.

His INSANE Texas Chainsaw piece was a screen print. I have no idea how that worked.

Mo! Today is the day, right? Werewolf Bar Mitzvah 7"?

Seeing as he most likely got them at cost or probably free, it does come across as a bit douchey. its unreasonable to expect him to give them away or sell them at the original selling price, but if you really had a problem with the secondary market like he  and Mondo do (did), you probably could sell them at a more reasonable price and still make some money and make fans happy. There is a more reasonable approach given his connection to the material.

I think six month average is the most fair thing he could have done. He's trying to start a business so he's not going to give anything away. And because of that his cost, or lack therof, is irrelevant to the conversation. But by going with the average he's not price gouging, either. Maybe if stuff doesn't sell you'll be able to negotiate down a percentage from the average or something.

Oh man, Tortuga! Awesome!

Bullshit about bots.

I checked out my Batman poster and there were still about 140 left for each after I checked my mail and this forum.

Could have easily grabbed Goonies also.

I have never missed anything I wanted that sold out in minutes.

F5 is your biggest friend at Mondo drops.

USE IT!

I'm drunk

I agree with the F5 but I call bullshit on easily grabbing a Stout. I mean, there's such a nerd boner for him that the flipapalooza makes catching the refresh on a cart drop rough without a mega fast connection.

So only 177 people bought The Connection soundtrack. What's up with that?

It's such a great soundtrack. That Max Richter/Dinah Washington song is AMAZING!

Or doesn't anyone care about the music?

I want it but just landed my #1 print ISO (it wasn't THAT expensive but still...) and am saving my pennies for BTTF. I'm hoping it lasts for a while.

Dammit! Oh well, guess that saves me $300.

The flippers have a bunch up on eBay if you want to get bent over.

It's coming out next year and Olly Moss did the artwork, is what I heard. They gave away the test press to someone in the panel audience.
