ksuwdboots Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 im confused how this site works. why even buy a subscription to the site if you can get access to their store and buy whatever you want after the $6 crate charge? With the crate sub, you don't get the option to buy that month's album of the month (which is always an exclusive pressing, unlike most of the items in the store) until the next/following month.

cantdance Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah it's confusing. Basically the diiv record is part of a few records with each month that get an exclusive color. This is in addition with like 10 other records that are put up for the month that are available everywhere but you can order them and get free shipping saving some extra money. The record of the month is nada surf I think so you can't get that one with the crate service but you could get it next month - only the people that buy the full subscription get the album of the month. So DIIV is up for grabs for both the crate peeps and the full on sub people. They only make the store availabile on a certain day and their stock gets cleaned out pretty fast. Think of it like a mondo drop but easier. You should get an email when the store opens. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 so does that mean we can still buy the Diiv record, meaning it's notthe record of the month?Correct, the Diiv record is just an exclusive in this month's store, not the record of the month for February.Note that any purchases made from the store won't ship until around February 10th when the record of the month ships.

Derek™ Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah it's confusing. Basically [...] Thanks for the clear-cut explanation. That makes way more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This Crate deal sounds interesting. Are the records of the month usually available the next month or do they sometimes sell out before they hit the store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This Crate deal sounds interesting. Are the records of the month usually available the next month or do they sometimes sell out before they hit the store? They're usually available the next/following month, if not longer. IIRC at least the last 6 records of the month were available in the store last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Use for a Name Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Newbury Comics is also offering a /500 exclusive variant: https://www.newburycomics.com/products/diiv-is_the_is_are_exclusive_2_lp?variant=13978791110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo 2 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 yeah I will definitely buy the newbury one. It matches the cover perfectly. Not buying extras from vmp btw guys, didn't know about that crate thing so that seems like the much better option than going through me.

timsimmons Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Now I'm curious as to what color the CT version will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I enjoy this album enough that I can easily see myself double-dipping (triple-dipping?) and worrying about what I want to keep, down the road. That Newbury variant is definitely slick as hell. Anyone know how long it may stay in stock, if you had to guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captured Tracks version is still available though so who knows. I don't knwo how many of the CT version were pressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudboy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ordered the newbury variant with the quickness. Can't imagine that lasting very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't knwo how many of the CT version were pressed. It would be great if we even knew what we've already purchased from CT... The Special Edition 2xLP is limited and it's packaging and vinyl color will be unveiled at a later date. (We promise it's cool.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
