I was just waiting for someone to bite on that. Exalted.

Yeah, the fold-out sleeve on these is pretty nice. I definitely paid $10 each for these on Black Friday (maybe a bit less, they might've been also running everything a certain percent off that day, but I know the sticker said $9.99). No regrets.

Oh shit... From a financial standpoint, nothing good will come of this to any of us here.

May try to get the wife to actually illustrate/render the design I'm thinking of, as I'm completely shit with photoshop.

GOing to TRY to order whatever "total package" preorder bundle there is. Not even going to try to tell everyone I won't.

Anyone trying to get one of the bundles and having trouble: Add the item to your cart, and use the "view basket" button on the homepage. just put in an order for the vinyl bundle. Kind of wish it also included the black, but I'll grab what I can get. Thanks for the link!

I got this last week. I've got too much stuff I haven't listened to yet, though, it's still sitting by my computer chair, unopened. Working my way through a hefty stack of stuff I've picked up.

I know I'm going to kick myself for not placing an order, but I'm gonna pass. Especially since the BR box set is out of stock. That would've been nice to grab with the discount...

Well said.

SNAP!

What about everyone that has had the banhammer dropped down upon them? I mean, I didn't know any of them personally or anything, but since the person who did the banning isn't going to be associated with the board, will they be let back in? Just curious about that. ___________________ Dammit, you slipped in as I typing this up! No matter, the message stands!

Man, that's the green for the Punk in Drublic? Not your fault, but still... That's disappointing.

Sick Gaslight collection, bro. (I may or may not resemble that statement, though, as my wife has given me the go ahead to get any variant we don't have until we have them all... Which means she's off her damn rocker... But so am I...) I'm currently in the process of cataloging my collection on Limited Pressing. Still have a ways to go. It's kind of large due to the records I had from my classic rock days that I didn't get rid of.

Seconded.

My wife and I are each getting one via the ticket/record package. Excited to see them in a month!

Mine came in a pretty sizeable box, but it was covered in shrink wrap. Already has a ton of ring wear and a puncture in the sleeve. Agreed. Seam split on my copy. Store contacted about whether they'll do an exchange. :-/

Hey, I got an extra for some possible trading power. Or if you'd like to buy it outright, that's fine, too, but I'd like to try to trade. I'm looking for any Gaslight Anthem variants I don't have, Manic Street Preachers records, and any New Found Glory records I'm missing. PM me if you want to share your tradelists, along with what you'd be willing to trade, or send an offer. Thanks! I will take a picture, yes, I just haven't yet.

Well, I have only had the one payment and the one shipped out, which was fine, as I didn't get any more requests for ten while I was away, and also no time to hit any of the malls. Merry Christmas to all!

dillinger escape plan. Oh, the collab with Mike Patton? If that's it, I should've known about that. I only just recently got into Dillinger Escape Plan, though, so... Yeah... Thanks!

I missed something, what's "DEP?"

If I have time to get down to Cincinnati, and anyone puts in a request for it, I'd be happy to check. Holiday schedule, though. Dayton area (Dayton Mall, Fairfield Commons) may be all I have time to get to if I'm asked. Going back to see family and friends, y'know? But thank you for the heads up. I'd probably have checked it anyway, provided we get down to Cincy and have enough time to do so.

Been paid for one and I'll be shipping it out after work today. Thought I'd bump this with an update on whether people are actually biting.

Not sure, though.

I'll collect variants from bands I give a shit about. Gaslight Anthem, New Found Glory, and that's probably it. If I like a band enough, I'll try to get all the colors because like someone said, if you buy it new from the band, they get that money (which is what I did for the new Fake Problems LP, 'cause I love it, and I wanted to give the band some more money because I find them to be pretty solid dudes). Others? I'll try to get the rarest color/variant if it's available, but a lot of time, if I want something on vinyl, I'll get it on whatever I can. I'm not picky. I do this because I enjoy it. If you take it took seriously, like the Vault member who said "fuck you" to Jack White, you need to reevaluate your life.

Hey, I wanted to try to do something for those who felt the shipping was kind of prohibitive when ordering from HotTopic.com. Basically, there's a HT near me that has a few in stock. I can pick one up for you and pass it on for the price I paid for the record plus USPS shipping, which I know is about half of the cost of shipping from the website if you're in some parts of the world. Especially Canada. (seriously, shipping a record to canada only costs roughly $8!) But yeah, if you want to do this, send me a PM, and I'll see what I can do. (I'll be going to Ohio to visit family come Tuesday, and returning to Chicago on Christmas, so I don't know how easy it'll be to get any once I leave for Ohio, 'cause I don't know what the Dayton area Hot Topics have, but i'll be sure to check while i'm there if I'm asked.)
