Pretty sure you're entitled to a test press, now.

Forgot to thank you for the link, Patron. Awesome site. Evidently, though, it says the highest sale was of $212... which more or less makes me a liar, I guess. Could have sworn I had seen it sell for (significantly) more than that, but... oh well. I PM'd Chaz725 and offered $15 on top of what he was asking. He's logged in since then, but hasn't gotten around to getting back to me. Bummer. In the process of setting up something with a gent on eBay, though, for $90 [+shipping]. Nowhere near as good as a deal as Chaz's offer, but it is what it is. Not than anyone cares about any of this. Just figured I'd update the thread.

Any day meow.

Same. The bottom edge of the sleeve looks like it was folded pretty good in transit. Kind of a bummer, but the record itself is in tip-top shape.

Anyone else absolutely pumped to receive their messenger bag today?

I'd be interested in hearing this, too. With the official colors, photos, and [vague] pricing announced, it would seem that the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Pressing numbers and a release date, and we'll be set.

Oh boy.

Well. That jumped up pretty quick.

+ Karma for your time and effort.

No kidding? Huh. I honest-to-God saw a blue variant go for $275 on eBay not too long ago. Guess the dude just got bamboozled? Or the auction was simply out of control. One of the two. Thanks for the heads up. My day would be made if I could score one for less than a hundred.

Get in your laughs while you can. I'm well aware that I'm going out on a huge limb, on this one. I will be exceptionally surprised if anyone is willing to part with one of their Bannon / Axe To Fall prints, but I figured it's worth a shot. Would absolutely love to own a copy of the blue variant, and am considering using a chunk of my tax return to make it a reality. I figured I'd try VC to see if anyone is in need of the cash, or at least looking to cut a guy a break. I know how much these go for, on eBay, and would love to... not spend $300. Especially since I intend to get a custom frame for it, which will no doubt run me another $80-100. If anyone is at all interested, please shoot me a PM. Or at least post in this thread. Paypal is the only method I've got, and payment would be immediate. /update/ I actually snagged this posted for $37 on eBay about a week ago. For anyone who cares. The posts and links below suggest that - as of 06.09.10 - the average selling price is $112. Guess I got lucky? Commence the quest for a Jane Doe print. If you're reading this and are willing to part with one in good condition, please PM me. I will literally throw money at you. Immediately.

Yeah, no doubt. I think there were also 1,000 copies of Vheissu pressed, weren't there? I've seen that record go for ridiculous amounts on eBay. If you're looking to someday complete the collection, I'd definitely recommend snagging one this week, while you can. And flippers are definitely going to be all over this one, it's safe to say. I'm willing to bet Awesomebutton's panties are already wet with anticipation. Cha-ching.

Not to sound like a dick, but due to the limited quantities (and the fact that kids over at AP.net have caught whiff of this), I'd only pick one up if you're really into the band or record. I'm an avid Thrice junkie - both new and old work - and I was pretty hell-bent on picking up four variants of this. But given that this is the "last piece" to a complete Thrice LP collection for so many fans, I'm starting to think one copy would suffice. Still on the fence about it, but assuming this doesn't get repressed anytime soon, I think it would be fair to see this wind up in as many Thrice-fanatic's hands as possible.

Please do. The anticipation is killing me[!] Selfish logic, but what can I say? -- This release couldn't come soon enough. Stoked. And $14 is hardly anything to whine about. Especially for such an epic release.

Correct. You can "reserve" a copy at Deep Elm, which essentially just means that'll e-mail you whenever they plan on putting the record up for sale. I do believe you'll have a chance to purchase it before the general public or non-reservers. Alternatively, you can pick up the record at Count Your Lucky Stars, though there's no option for a reserve.

Fuck work.

I honestly had no idea what you were talking about until I did a bit of Googling. Pretty interesting package they speak of. A little more info, for anyone not in the know. I'm going to assume that the clear vinyl is limited in itself, and made available exclusively through the fan club. A regular / alternate colored pressing should be made available in mass, to the general public. Just my speculation. Dude. PERSONALIZED LETTER.

"I disagree" or "Whoa. That's a little steep, don't you think?" would have made you sound like much less of a prick. Just saying. But I'm aware that this is the internet, and that you're obviously hot shit. So. Damn!

That's just an estimate. Three LPs + theoretical "deluxe" packaging + shipping + the fact it's Triple Crown. Probably not quite $50, but fairly close.

Posted via Triple Crown's Twitter page, 45 minutes ago: Next TCR vinyl, The Dear Hunter Act I & II triple LP details soon Anyone else a fan of TDH? Act II is quite possibly one of my favorite albums, ever. I had secretly been hoping to someday hear their entire discography on vinyl, but didn't think it would happen so soon. Pretty pumped about this release, even if it sports the inevitable $40 - $50 pricetag.

Agreed. At first, I kind of liked having them as an (amazing) band in my back pocket. The more I listen to them, though, the more I feel that they are beyond under-appreciated. And it's a damn shame. I can't remember the last album that knocked me flat on my ass as quickly as their S/T did. Or Above The Earth, Below The Sky for that matter.

indeed up top sugar. Wasn't doubting your word. Just saying that it shouldn't be a hassle for you to miss out on these "just in" copies, since - you know - you've already got your bases covered.

I figured that's how it works, but felt like double-checking. So... thanks for the confirmation. No idea why my initial post had "March" as the release, either. / Random

I WAS SMOKIN' WEED LISTENIN TO SUN O))) MAN! also: Sorry, “12" If These Trees Could Talk - S/T - Black” couldn’t be added to your cart because the last one is currently being purchased by someone else Etc., etc. So, either you're too apathetic to read this [relatively short] thread, or you've already forgotten what's been posted in the last few days. Either way, I think it's a solid sign that you should back down off the green, a bit. And while it does indeed suck that you can't buy one, at the moment, there's always this:
