agreed, and I thought that was kinda funny You know I was thinking that same thing when I typed it but didn't feel like taking the time to draw attention to it. Great minds...

How so? They sell vinyl and they ship from multiple locations yet they have no uniform shipping policy for their employees to follow so you MIGHT get lucky and get someone who knows how to ship vinyl or you MIGHT get the dumbshits that send it in a flimsy yellow envelope with no stiffening....like I did. I wonder how they'd ship crystal china...

I REALLY wish they'd reissue Antichrist Superstar. God, I want that shit.

I think the pic disc is just a "Dope Show" single with a couple of other tracks.

No. They are sold out. And they are assholes.

If I had seen this on that day, I would have canceled and re-ordered. Would have been almost $10 off.

If anybody in the area has an extra they need to get rid of, please let me know. Looking for a reasonable price. Thanks!

times were so tough/bad like you wouldn't believed. I literally hugged it right before I packaged it. I believe it! Shit would have to REALLY hit the fan for me to lose my copy! lol. Sorry you had to sell it. I'm sure someday, the time and finances will be right for you to re-acquire it.

You poor thing. I'm being 150% sincere right now.

You know if physical formats didn't exist for music, then this thread's title would be the perfect solution of the abortion of an album this was....if it had happened before it was actually released.

Anyone have any testimonies for their vinyl packing policy?

haha Agreed!

This keeps getting better...

^I'm sure it will. The packaging and pressing quality is always stellar with these 2XLP and 4XLP version of Metallica albums but this album is such shit. Justice was the last good Metallica album. And frankly, I only really care for that one and MOP. K'EA is ok and RTL is ok. "Creeping Death" really saves that album which only really has 4, maybe 5, great songs.

WTF??? Are they fucking kidding???

^ I noticed mine were a bit faded. Not to terrible though. Also not the first sealed record I've gotten with somewhat faded labels. Are these ever going to go up on hottopic.com?

Packing from HT.com was good. But travis, you might just throw out a tip to all your vinyl packers to pack the short flaps of the mailer INSIDE the larger flaps as opposed to the opposite. That's how mine cam and I think it keeps the seam more secure if they put the short flap in first.

Don't feel too bad about missing this. All my copies came with damage sleeves/inserts.

I'm glad you're gonna get a lot money for this, but as a person who wants this record I can't help but hate the fuck out of dumbass bidders who drive the price to unbelievable amounts when the auction has barely begun.

Fucking goHastings.....

You know, I was so excited for the new Young Widows to come out because I saw them debut new shit live last March (2010) and given my excitement for the new stuff at the time, I can't see why I've dragged my feet on picking this up. For how goddamn cheap it is, I might as well have. I think I'll do that next. I think that single they released kind of turned me off. I should get this anyway.

Yes, they all do You'd think this female employee would explain that to the disenfranchised youth before pointing at another customer for him to blame for the store's lack of copies.

Luckily, its not just Billy that's responsible for this though. I have a feeling that the people who are really going to be putting in work on these are more than likely more reliable than he is. I think the idea is Gish, SD, and PI this year. Then 2012 will see MCATIS, TAFH and Adore. Its only three records. If they can't get them out in 8 months then they're not doing half the work you're doing.

Does this kid know that they can order it from the kiosk and get it shipped to the store? Do those employees even know that?
