  2. I thought it was a miss print. Hope they do re-issue a standard black pressing . But I think its unlikely. I've got the following The Illusion Of safety pressings : 2012 - Banquet Records - baby blue 2012 - Hot topic - yellow 2012 - Sub City - Translucent red, coke bottle clear and white 2001 - black (still sealed) 2001 - Gold
  3. even though I have all these already. I still need to get them.
  4. Even though I own the original pressing, I'm looking forward to seeing/owning this pressing as well.
  5. Got notified by Banquet that the Blue copy is finally In. So I guess they will start shipping these out in the next few days.
  6. I have a copy of Hybrid still sealed from back in the day. I uploaded it on Instagram. still waiting for Living things on vinyl.
  7. Ordered a yellow copy from HT and Kensrue solo album. Used my HT cash ($15). So sweet.
  8. That looks awesome. I bought two copies. Only opened one - it's the yellow tan looking colour. I was hoping to get ones like yours.
  9. I received all three copies and one signed insert. Love the red and the coke bottle the best. Looking forward to getting BR-blue copy and HT-yellow as well.
  10. Sure. There are a few different companies out there. Each one offers a different level of services. So do your research (I'm not going to state mine, you will figure it out when you check them out). Mine for example has varies plans. The cheapest option - which just redirects everything that arrives for me to my overseas address (this can be expensive if you buy a lot of items). By paying an extra $10-20 a year. They hold my packages for up to one month (so that I can I can stock pile and have one shipment per month). They can hold longer if you want. Every time a package arrives for me, I'm notification within the day by email. They re-pack my items to cut down postage weight. etc (very important - can save you a lot of month per month). Different shipping platforms. Control of what get posted when. Hold one item ship the rest. (great flex-ability). Same goes for UK/Germany postal address (European purchases). I use my postal address for vinyl only. My wife on the other hand......
  11. Guys/Travis I've bought vinyl from Hot Topic online before and have been shocked by the international shipping cost. It cost me $40+ for two $17 vinyl (that’s with the cheapest option and it takes two weeks to get to me). It's ridiculous. Since I buy a lot of vinyl from Hot Topic/eBay/soundstagedirect/Elusive Disc etc, I opted to get a US postal address, which costs $60 to $80 per year depending on service level you choose. It now costs me around $4 or $5 (media mail) for postage within the US, which is great if I buy more than one album and spread the cost, or get free delivery within the US. My US postal address then re-packs and sends them to me at a cost of $6 $7 per lb (roughly per vinyl). And I have it here within 2-3 days using DHL International courier. Do the maths. It’s a massive cost saver. To make it cheaper still, I’ve gone thirds this year with my vinyl-buying friends. We bring in roughly 70lb of vinyl per month (we don’t flip vinyl – too old for that shit. That’s a young man's game). It cost us about $90 each (with insurance). There are pitfalls. Eg When Thrice – Vheissu went on sale we ordered more than one copy and got bumped (even though we ordered within the first minute it went on sale). Same goes for places that have a limit of one vinyl per customer. Hope this helps international buyers.
