Possibly going up tomorrow (or around midnight tonight). It's also possible it goes up in another day or 2.
Based on FUTCT still being available I dont expect this to sell out over night or anything when it does go up for sale.

The splatter looks pretty much the same from what I remember the last press looking like. This one appears to have some little black specks in it though if anyone actually cares about that slight difference.

No. There have been a few issues with some HT exclusives but Hot Topic is not a label is Hot Topic is not responsible for the sound quality of a record, that's entirely up to the label pressing the record. Every record where there has been an issue (and all the ones you named) have come from Universal Special Markets. Not everything they've done for HT has had issues but yes, a few have. With these Universal SM exclusives, sometimes I get a test of something before they press it and I'll listen to it and give them notes on things they should fix. I don't always get another test after they "fix" something. I work with a lot of labels on doing exclusive pressings for Hot Topic to sell, and in the case with Universal SM I've spoken to them multiple times about sound quality and they tell me they use the highest quality source they have for the records they press. I don't license out records and go and get them pressed myself. Some labels do a better job than others when it comes to pressing their vinyl. This isn't an overall Hot Topic vinyl problem, this is little issue with one label who I continue to try and get them to improve the overall quality of their releases. I have more input on these than with other labels but at the end of the day, Hot Topic is not the label pressing the vinyl so I can only give so much input into the final product. Hot Topic is a retailer, not quality control for record labels.

That's like saying Vacation was an awful movie because the intro didn't sell us hard enough on Wally World so we had no vested interest in actually seeing the Griswolds get there. I'm pretty sure you missed the entire point of the show.

Well now that we have that incredibly insightful and much needed opinion about how awful this show truly is, I feel like this thread is finally complete. Lock it up, mods!

Dude I need to tell you that this show was not about Will, but you know, I still rooted for him to make it back somehow, even though i just knew him for 5 mins and Everyone knew he is alive and gonna be back.
 
(also probably the best series in recent years in cast/story/score etc....)

Maybe because it was a child?! Its not that hard to grasp.
