hype Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 these things are going to be dirt cheap eventually if you can wait with so many "limited" variants being sold. the only one I am even thinking about purchasing upfront is possibly the box set at this point. hopefully they decide on good colors for it.

I think the /1500 indie variants and especially the black will be cheap in a few months. I think it'd be a while before we see the /500 ones drop much, maybe settle around $50 after a while (sell for around $100 now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I love that Relapse just went and did their own thing: Quote * We are disappointed that this variant went on sale before our announcement and without us being notified. -Lakeshore jonnywreck and cobannaboc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisol Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 None of this matters what so ever but I honestly don't think any of these variants will hold a ton of value on the secondary markets once the dust settles. People are bonkers if they are shelling out more than retail on any of these. In my opinion, none of the color choices of the /500 options truly stand out. With so many options and with more on the way, I see these just getting lumped into a retail exclusives category with 3000+ (and counting) copies. Still limited but not big money limited. Similar to New Bermuda and the newest Explosions in the Sky release. If one of the exclusives differentiates itself from the pack, this would change. If you're buying these to flip, sell now. Just my honest opinion. docbronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 If you are buying this to flip, your portfolio just took a dive. It is tempting to get one of the B&N versions, but it's really just a combo of the two I already bought. How many different versions have people bought so far? I'm dumb at 2 and still waiting to see what happens with the box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the black volumes 1 and 2 on preorder through Amazon since the listings went up weeks ago. 2 hours ago, dnl said: I went with the retail black just to get a copy.

I'm interested in the box set for liners and am still curious about the hand-poured version(?), but will probably end up with just the plain black in the end. I'll probably chicken out on the hand-poured do to sonics concerns and the box set if the liners don't look rich enough to justify the pricepoint. kisol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the options to this point are far from inspired but I still think the smoke variant is the best one. It's the only one I look at and can associate with the vibe I get from the show and it's score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they have been known to ship LPs in the same bags they would ship a tshirt in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
