i see. i did pay via paypal, but it hasn't actually processed. the site says payment pending.

thanks for the info.

if you don't mind me asking, how much did morning view go for?

have to admit i was kinda stoked to come across this site, they have a pretty badass selection of stuff that i haven't seen elsewhere. however, i placed an order a week ago now and have gotten no status updates or communications from them.

anyone else ever order from them? is this typical of this site?

Luckily, I know what it is:

hahaha... i know the drummer of Petra, he was my tour bus driver a couple years back.

my box has some imperfections as well. nothing huge, just some beating from the shipping that probably could have been easily avoided with a layer of bubble wrap in the box.

They send the box without bubble wrap? Fuck, I dont want to imagine how my box will loke like after a oversea shipping. :-/

yeah... the packaging isn't terrible but it definitely could be better. the box has spacers on the sides but there's nothing to stop it from moving around top to bottom.

My box has a 1cm-ish blemish on the front left lower side.

my box has some imperfections as well. nothing huge, just some beating from the shipping that probably could have been easily avoided with a layer of bubble wrap in the box.

just got shipping confirmation for the box, and no "Fist" or "Damone" really sucks could have at least put B-Sides & Rarities on vinyl for this box set.

yeah, that definitely should have happened. it does fall within the releases of 95-11 which is what this collection was supposed to have been.

hahaha y'all are funny. there aren't hand numbered btw, it's stamped in gold, and yes, BSM obviously because it's in the 500-1000 range.

never got shipping confirmation or tracking, but i received mine today via UPS. definitely wasn't expecting it to come so soon. No. 000653.

Wow, that's extremely early. What happened to the 25th release date? Can't complain though!

How do they sound?

i know, right? much earlier than i had expected. haven't had the chance to listen yet, snagged them from the UPS dude on my way to work. they sure do look sexy though.

I just scored today!!!!

I am in a small town today and I pop into the local record store. I find original pressings of self titled and SNW that are brand new sitting there for years!!! Picked them both up for $53.

Questions I have for you all.

Should I keep them sealed and buy the Hot Topic re releases for listening? Or open these up and enjoy them? What would you do? All thoughts welcome.

Thanks.

damn, congrats dude. nice pick up.

Did you do the $230 in full, or did you stumble across another coupon for BSM?

Just ordered it, wish I had a coupon code.

i hear that. i heavily reconsidered after i found that the code no longer worked, but in the end i ended up pulling the trigger. aaaand i'll probably get the HT represses as well. can't help it man, i fuckin love deftones.

it isnt a conflict of interest, because both retailers' "interest" is to sell their product. both retailers will be able to sell their product without any trouble, and therefore, there is no conflict. are you dense?

your condescending attitude gives you away for the small-minded person you are. however i'm still going to tell you why you're wrong in this argument. this situation is somewhat of a conflict of interest because the record company has issued two varieties of limited edition products to two separate retailers. yes, they will both probably sell out of them and everyone is happy. however, it is likely that the release of the box set is going to slow down the sales of the HT presses. this in turn could lead to them having to sell a portion of the remaining copies on clearance at a discounted rated, therefore forfeiting them revenue they would have otherwise earned if the copies had sold at full price. obviously the exclusivity agreement with HT only pertains to that particular variant, so the record company is perfectly within their rights to do this. but it is still a conflict of interest to release these two similar products at the same time because they are basically pitting two retailers against each other, with BSM having the advantage of selling the more desirable of the two products.

FUCK. i was all amped up for this, i have my friend's credit card sitting here right now because i didn't want to chance waiting til i got paid tomorrow and having them sell out. then this fucking coupon code doesn't work for BSM anymore. i think that may have just been a deal breaker for me. i think i'll just round off my collection with the HT represses and call it a day. only thing i'm really missing out on is a hand numbered box, right?

people who ordered through BSM:

was card charged right away or will it be charged when the set ships?

thanks in advance...

HTLOYALTYPB1001 for 15 % off

or HTA20SEPT for 20% off of 60 dollars or more purchase

Just a followup when you use hta20sep it looks like it applies the discount but when you check out the discount isn't applied so don't use hta20sep. The loyalty one should be good though.

HTA20SEPT worked for me

shipping was not free though
