Finally!  This is the only album of theirs I need on vinyl.  If (hed)PE's debut was on vinyl my 1997 vinyl wishes  would be complete.

This is really the only one you like? Checkout “Home”, “Seasons”, & “Animosity”.

maybe it’s been a long time since you’ve heard those but they got some of their best songs. Back when they were still heavy & had a numetal edge to some of their songs.

Only the new stuff, huh? 

 

Also that means this stuff was already pressed to vinyl once? Wow! 

Actually these albums have not been pressed before. Also, I understand you clearly don't like the music, which is totally cool, I usually don't like mainstream pop rock artists either but her first two albums are good pop rock albums, and I can see why they sold so well back in the day. 

Recordstore.co.uk has the colored variants listed for preorder. So far nothing on Bullmoose

Amazon usually comes through with the variant if you order early enough. 

 

I really hope my lady doesn't catch wind of this. I can't stand Avril. 

Hahaha I can't stand her newer stuff

Its about time. Definitely getting Let Go & Under My Skin. Any idea which sites typically sell MusicOnVinyl's colored exclusives for preorder so I don't have to go to a record store that's an hour away from me?

Someone was misinformed...

Yeah clearly that Benchmark customer service person had no idea what they were talking about when they emailed me back a few days ago. You would think they would've known sooner that there was gonna be a month long delay on these. That site's a joke. They had plenty of time to get these made by September 28th

Went ahead and emailed Benchmark Customer Service two days ago asking if these boxsets got delayed or anything like that and they replied to me this morning saying these are still set to ship out on 9/28. I was hoping they'd ship a few days early so we could receive them on release day, but hey at least there's no delays.

I'd be all over them doing some early Breaking Benjamin stuff. All I listened to in middle school was shitty hard rock so I have a soft spot in my heart for a lot of those bands.

Well, I mean are they really "shitty" except to hipsters who hate mainstream rock? I mean just because we listened to 3DG and BB a lot in high school doesn't make it "bad". These 3 albums and Breaking Benjamin'so first 4 albums are some of the best "mainstream rock" albums out there and do deserve vinyl pressings.

Glad FYE is doing cover-matching colored exclusives for these Three Days Days Grace albums, maybe they can finally get BB's Saturate, We Are Not Alone and Phobia pressed atleast. 

Not to mention it may end up being the best looking variant anyway! 

...Am I the only one who's just holding out for the Hot Topic exclusive? 

(Deleted double post)

So if there will be 2 volumes for each season we're getting 16 variants for each entire season of the series.....wow lol

So...i assume everyone who ordered probably chose "USPS Priority Flat Rate -Free" 

But i noticed they also offer another option of regular "Priority Mail" for $11

What would make anyone choose the $11 priority over free priority? Is one supposed to be faster than the other? Or are they the exact same speed?

So this was the response I got from HT about damage from shipping (split seams and corner bends) for the splatter: "We apologize but we are not responsible for jacket damage, as we do not sell jackets. We are responsible for the Vynil LP we sell inside the Jacket." Never had a problem with split seams when they allowed ship to store...

Even though its clearly their fault. Well at that point I would just lie and tell them the vinyl itself was damaged, then they'd have to send a new one or refund. Nobody should be forced to stick with a ripped sleeve when they charged almost $30 bucks for it.

Ugh, just opened my HT Splatter to take pictures for you guys and realized my jacket had a spine and top seam split and the inner sleeve had a spine split. And I don't think HT does anything for those sorts of things. Anyway, here's pics of the record:

 

 

Considering how much they are charging for these HT exclusive variants you should definitely try and get a refund/replacement. Its a damaged product, their fault. Especially with a split spine

already got shipping conf from hot topic for my order last night. pretty sure that's the fastest i've ever had shipping from them before. Hell, shipping conf within a week of order would have been the fastest. I probably shouldn't get my hopes up it'll be like this going forward though.

Damn thats quick for them, yeah usually takes atleast two or three  whole days for them just to ship a vinyl whenever I've ordered from there. And the fact they only offer UPS shipping is ridiculous, $5 for basic shipping speed and $17 for priority, bit if they offered USPS like every other site they could offer media mail for $4 and priority for $7. Sucks were forced to go with slow-ass basic ground shipping

Travis--would you be able to find out the pressing quantity of the Hot Topic exclusive? I think everyone's got the colors figured out, but the pressing number would be nice, i know KRM probably wont say the quantities pressed of their variants, but I'd atleast wanna know for the Hot Topic one.

I don't remember KRM having a grey one? They had Red, White, Purple and Black. 

There was a silver one available from KRM EU/Non-US countries.

I think he said it was 'grey' because the photo Banquet Records posted of their opened copy looked to be dark grey and not actually 'silver'. I notice lots of silver vinyl turn out to actually be grey. 

Aaaaaaand back out of stock again. Hot Topic really needs to get their shit together lol either this is really that limited or they're putting like 5 copies online at a time.

Already sold out of splatter? That seems fast even for a new Hot Topic variant, especially when so many people ordered the other colors....any idea Travis on how many splatters were pressed for Hot Topic & if they're putting more up later??

1 minute ago, LL COOL DREW said:

I was thinking the exact same thing,  are we ever gonna know?? 

Yeah I wanna know if the red variant bundles on there now will sell out anytime soon, & if its as limited as the purple and white, etc. May have to call them on Monday and see if they'll tell me, wouldn't be surprised if they say they have no idea. But seeing as these are KR exclusives you'd think they'd know how many they had of each to begin with.

Dont suppose we'll ever know the pressing quantities of the Kingsroad colored variants? 

Wish they would've listed it on the descriptions. 

Yeah someone on my IG got their red variant today but he had rush processing + priority mail. I would've chose that too had they kept the price of the vinyl at $16.99 lol

For those who ordered Monday when it first went up, has anyone received a shipping notification email from MerchNow? If you paid extra for "rush processing" I'm not referring to you, as those would've been shipped Monday, but considering today's Wednesday I would hope they'd have shipped all the regular orders out by now...but they are known for being painfully slow so nothing would surprise me.
