mssskat184 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm pretty new here, so I hope this is in the right place. (: I'm just so excited about this, I've got to share. Browsing the Solid State store a few days ago. Considering buying the mint and red Sleddin' Hill, when I saw that there was just a handful of the coke bottle left. Being the cheap 20 year old that I am, I figured "Hey, it's half the price and almost gone- why not?" So I went for the coke bottle and decided to pick up the mint and red later. The package came in today, and of course was beat to hell. When I opened the package, a corner of the sleeve was bent. I ripped it open, and found this instead: https://s3.amazonaws.com/img.deadformat.net/tradelist/l/54dbdc051eef3.jpg (Not sure how to re-size images, so I'll just link it so it's not an assault on everyone's eyes.) Needless to say, I'm pretty ecstatic. It's a Christmas miracle in February. If you don't have Sleddin' Hill yet, you might wanna pick up one of the last few here:http://solidstate.merchline.com/collections/vinyl/products/august-burns-red-sleddin-hill Never know what you'll get, I guess.

Liimpan Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Christmas miracle with matching christmas colors!! I had a similar experience once, I ordered "Whenever, If Ever" clear with green smoke (limited to 1000), and got the mispressed tour edition (limited to 500) instead!

tetsuodaironman Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Wish I liked this album like you guys because the packaging and vinyl looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy032 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm confused, why is the clear version half the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm confused, why is the clear version half the price? My guess is that it's less limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 For a split second before I clicked on the picture, i thought they sent DtGL. I would've cried of jealousy. Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm also confused as to why this is a "Christmas miracle." tl:dr- the guy/gal ordered a record and got a different version from what s/he ordered. Some people would be upset about that, especially since now you have to use two records to hear the album instead of just one. It's all kinda goofy to me, I dunno...lol.

tetsuodaironman Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Annnnnddddd, it's sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mssskat184 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm confused, why is the clear version half the price? I think it's because it has two bonus songs and it's a double lp. The clear was just one 12". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtrCtyWx Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I just got a refund from Merchline after not receiving the "Messengers" haze variant I pre-ordered back in Dec. 2014. (They held my order pending the Ghost Thief LP). I had to email them more than once via their site and through Paypal to get the money back. They did offer a discount code off my next purchase...doubt it'll be another pre-order but the gesture was appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy032 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Agreed that is a good deal if u really wanted to 2xLP version (saved $15!). Though the clear is from the first press /500 according to dead format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Great heads up. Bummed it's listed as out of stock again, would've jumped on that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
