Only appropriate, for a monster of an album. The second LP looks far more bad-ass than the first, but they still turned out way better than what I was picturing. Part of me is slightly regretting my "regular" Blue-Orange pre-order, but I'm confident that I'll be content with either variant. So stoked to spin this album.

I also can't wait to see what that self-titled looks like. Even after caving on the complete vinyl collection, I'm highly considering grabbing both the SNW and S/T represses. If not only to cap off a "color variant" set of their discography.

I don't get this mentality. Nor do I. Actually, I do. And it's still retarded.

Hot Topic is just stocking black, which isn't an exclusive variant.

Just did this with a few inquiries. Here's the basic response I received. • < 100 copies remain in BSM's inventory. • There are currently no active coupons for BSM. • There is no plan to release a coupon anytime in the near future. I hope that helps you more than it helped me; if anything, I'm even more compelled to shell out $230 for this thing... knowing that it probably won't last through the weekend. Something I told myself I wouldn't do, but damn does it look glorious. The money's there, and it is Deftones we're talking about. Maybe Christmas will come early this year.

Did you do the $230 in full, or did you stumble across another coupon for BSM?

Yeah, part of me still wants this pretty hard... despite the fact that I don't really need it. That $30 is a deal breaker though. Will probably pull the trigger if another coupon pops up. Fingers crossed for a 20%, maybe. A guy can dream.

Didn't hesitate to buy the vinyl boxset. Didn't hesitate to pass on this. Yay for decisiveness.

Beautiful variant. Perhaps even a bit better than what I had pictured. Don't get me wrong, since I'm super grateful to own all of these Deftones re-issues... but I can't help but feel like the last three releases / represses have been seriously skimped. From the lack of bonus tracks, to the condensing of double LPs onto a single. I'll reserve judgement for an official listen, but it sure seems like corners are being routinely cut, here.

Someone's either a troll-hard, or refuses to acknowledge anything heavier than Blink-182 as music.

Damn. Missed that clear / black combo - I had no idea when this was going live, but +1 to rockit for being on the ball. Grabbed a translucent amber -- stoked for this record, too.

Echoing what pretty much everyone in this thread has voiced; would absolutely love to own this thing... but I'm only missing the self-titled, which is slated for sale next week. There's no way I could justify the [likely inflated] price on this thing. More power to anyone who slept on the represses and has the cash to throw around, though.

I also dig it. A lot of people aren't crazy about the font... but last I heard, the album art of the official release will feature no text whatsoever.
