  1. I was actually fine paying it, and $75 for a signed artist proof is even better. Like I said, I really like the print, but I think a lot of those around me were suffering sticker shock. I think this would have normally sold out much quicker if everything hadn't been so expensive. I also think that many just see this as a "poster" rather than an artist print. Also, the prints sold at Third Man are numbered, but are not signed.
  2. I picked one up. It is a great looking print, but like everything else sold at Third Man for RSD this year, they really stuck it to their customers on the price. This print was $50.
  3. Considering that I ordered and was charged for the D2C variant in the short time it was put up a few weeks ago, it was $40, $5.99 for shipping, and $2.73 for tax (in Utah, no less) for a total of $48.73. I would consider $50 for the RSD version pretty good. If I could find one for $50, I would pull the trigger.
  4. Amazon's description lists that their copies will be on gold vinyl as well. This is also currently sitting at $17.13 on Amazon.
  5. Warstic has teamed up with three creative agencies, OneFastBuffalo, Farm League, and Firethief, for a remarkable new promotional film showcasing their designer Pro Grade wood and high performance metal baseball bats, including the trendsetting Warhawk one-piece wood-balanced aluminum bat. WAR CRY: THE BATTLE OF THE HAWK AND THE RAVEN co-stars Detroit Tigers four-time MLB All-Star second baseman and Warstic co-owner Ian Kinsler alongside Warstic co-owner Jack White and Anthony “Thosh” Collins of The Native Wellness Institute, as well as narration by Ian Kinsler’s father, Howard Kinsler. SOUNDTRACK HIGHLIGHTED BY THE OFFICIAL WARSTIC ANTHEM, “BATTLE CRY,” WRITTEN, PRODUCED, AND PERFORMED BY JACK WHITE WAR CRY: THE BATTLE OF THE HAWK AND THE RAVEN is soundtracked by the Official Warstic Anthem, “Battle Cry,” written, produced, and performed by Jack White. The song is available digitally worldwide today to stream and download. Third Man Records will also release a limited edition, one-sided, gold colored vinyl 7” of the powerful anthem available exclusively at Third Man’s Nashville and Detroit storefronts and select independent record stores as part of their contributions to Record Store Day 2017 on Saturday, April 22nd. In addition to Warstic’s ongoing efforts to support the Well for Culture Program within The Native Wellness Institute, Third Man Records will donate a portion of all proceeds generated by the “Battle Cry” record to this Native American charity. The Well for Culture Program promotes the well-being of Native Americans through youth and adult programs and training that embraces the teachings and traditions of Native ancestors. Third Man and Warstic would encourage people to also donate to this wonderful institution, if they are so inclined. CLICK HERE TO DONATE! WAR CRY: THE BATTLE OF THE HAWK AND THE RAVEN will have its exclusive world premiere Saturday, April 8th, at Detroit’s Comerica Park as part of the Detroit Tigers’ home opening weekend series against the Boston Red Sox. “Battle Cry” will also be featured as Ian Kinsler’s walk-up music. WAR CRY: THE BATTLE OF THE HAWK AND THE RAVEN was created by Warstic founder Ben Jenkins, a designer, entrepreneur, former professional baseball player, and founder/creative director of the Dallas-based Brand Strategy and Design firm, ONEFASTBUFFALO. The film is co-directed by award-winning filmmaker Sterlin Harjo and Tim Lynch, co-founder of the Venice, CA-based film company FARM LEAGUE. WAR CRY: THE BATTLE OF THE HAWK AND THE RAVEN stars Ian Kinsler as “The Hitter,” a professional ball player who battles to get his mind right in the locker room before a big game. The crowd noise awaiting him builds. We see inside the psyche of The Hitter where “The Raven,” a shadowy trickster spirit portrayed by Jack White, taunts him. The Raven instills thoughts of fear and doubt in The Hitter, clouding his mind. The Hitter focuses on past struggles in a training session where he can’t get his mechanics synced up. The Raven escalates the magnitude and intensity of the upcoming fight through fear and the use of fire, further obscuring the warriors’ fate. Meanwhile, “The Hawk,” a Southeast Woodlands Native Hunter played by Native American artist/activist Anthony “Thosh” Collins, sets out from his camp in search of The Hitter’s belief, bringing him perspective and clarity as he readies himself for battle. The Hitter chooses his weapon and begins the long journey through a dark tunnel into the stadium. There, he and his Hunter spirit guide calmly draw their weapons, bat and bow, and fully focus on their mark. His mission to transform The Hitter from hunted to hunter now accomplished; The Raven departs as The Hitter unleashes a furious battle cry. "We wanted to take a very human, albeit epic and almost mythical look at the real inner struggle hitters go though in a game where failure is so prevalent,” says Jenkins. “The goal with Warstic players is to be fully mentally engaged and calm in order to let their training come through naturally. We want to express the idea that a real warrior with a hunter’s mindset doesn’t concern himself with the results as much as he makes sure he is doing all he can to be present, ready, and focused. He attacks. And, oh yeah, the bat looks badass as well.” Anthony “Thosh” Collins is a photographer and board member with the Native Wellness Institute (NWI). He is co-founder of NWI’s Well For Culture health initiative, an alliance of like-minded Indigenous people from many Nations who strive to lead healthy lifestyles and encourage wellness among the Native American community. Collins’ remarkable work with NWI and Well For Culture drew the attention of Warstic founder Jenkins, who credits time spent on Indian reservations with Collins and other native artists early in his career as partial seed inspiration for the idea behind Warstic’s mentality. Supporting the Native Wellness Institute and Thosh is an effort to give back to a greater cause for that inspiration. Third Man Records founder and Warstic co-owner Jack White is a 12-time GRAMMY® Award-winner and 35-time nominee. White’s love of design and baseball brings him to the Warstic creative world. His myriad of accomplishments and ongoing support for the art and craft of recorded music were honored earlier this year at The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing® 10th Annual GRAMMY® Week celebration, placing him amongst a truly impressive list of past P&E honorees.
  6. This isn't a must for me, but I probably would have purchased a red. I figure I'll still be able to get one when lots of people cancel their order before this ships in October...2018. By then, they will just call it a "warehouse find."
  7. Now says red is sold out, but that white is now available. 500 on white.

  9. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/inside-jack-whites-new-vinyl-pressing-paradise-w468376?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=daily&utm_campaign=022417_11 If this Rolling Stone article is any indication, they've been making these records for at least a week now. For the past several years, Record Store Day releases available in Nashville have been available all day. I don't see this being any different.
  10. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the prices on Saturday. While the prices above are speculative, I will not be surprised if they are in fact that high. It is also supposed to be really cold and windy on Saturday.
  11. http://www.thenewpornographersofficialstore.com/ There are a few different options, including with a glow in the dark poster, but there don't appear to be any variant options just yet, only black thus far.
  12. If you are seeing AFI on tour over the next few weeks, they are selling signed copies of the retail variant at their merch booth. $25, and their merch guy said they only sign "like ten" per show.
  13. If using media mail, the deluxe showed $1.75 cheaper through Sub Pop on shipping.
  14. I would highly doubt this is sold out already. It looks like this is going to be released by Sub Pop, who I would imagine will also have copies for sale.
  15. What is the "/" on the pressing info? For instance, 200/1000 on the split color variant? ^^^^ Looks like you answered my question. Thanks!
  16. Went in for a split as I don't have this album yet. Hope I'm in the first 200.
  17. The four blood type variants I ordered from the AFI webstore shipped. Should be here tomorrow.
  18. No Resolution is now available for pre-order via the 15 Passenger website, and will be available for pre-order tomorrow via iTunes; “An Answer For Everything” will come as an instant grat download with all pre-orders. The album will also be released on blue with white splatter pattern vinyl for a limited run of 1,000, which will be available through the 15 Passenger Bandcamp store and at Kasher’s upcoming live shows. A clear with red and yellow splatter pattern vinyl version of No Resolution will be exclusive to independent record stores as well, also limited to a run of only 1,000.
  19. I could be wrong, but I think this album is coming out in March, the website just lists the release date in European format 10/03/2017. March 10, 2017.
  20. I picked up a few things from the year end sale. They came in today: NOFX "Oxymoronic" on white NOFX "Xmas/New Year's Revolution" on white Masked Intruder "Under The Mistletoe" on green with white splatter
  21. This is turning into a shit show. How about Popmarket mails out ALL the stuff people ordered and then everyone can move on?
  22. I want to know if anyone has gotten the red vinyl version that didn't order directly form the band's web store.
  23. Any updates on this release? Has anyone received their order from anyone but The Decemberists web store? My order from Collector's Choice is slated to arrive on Saturday.
  24. I have to say that after paying $15 for a 7", the least you can do is put it in a mailer that somewhat fits.
