slinch Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I don't follow these releases at all, but I just saw the pics on twitter and had to jump in here to see what the reaction is, because this has to be the laziest, most pointless """"""""box set"""""""" I've ever seen.

CatsNJazz Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I still never bought these but I might pick up this box. But honestly, this shit is so overhyped. I watched the show the week it came out and Ioved it but the internet has almost ruined this for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Specs for the Lakeshore US "Deluxe" editions: Quote STREETDATE : Friday July 14th RETAIL PRE-ORDER DATE: Retail Accounts may make Pre-Orders available to consumers starting Monday April 3rd. LIMITED TIME OFFER : All Retail Orders Placed by EOD on Monday July 16th will be filled. No orders will be filled after this date. Stranger Things Collector’s Edition Vinyl : – New Album Cover of “Boys on Bikes” Key Art – New 4/C Disc Sleeves w Liner Notes (Duffer Bros Vol 1 / Composers V2) * not pictured * – 11×22 Fold Out Poster (“Retro Montage” Vol 1 / “Boys On Bikes” Vol 2) – Five 4×6 Character Cards (Kids Vol 1 / Adults Vol 2) – Hand Pressed 180g Multi-Colored Blend Vinyl Discs (See Photos) – Upgraded Heavy Weight Print Stock – Only One Retail Version for All Accounts (No Account Specific Variants) – All photos are for display purposes only, they are not to scale and actual vinyl colors / coloration may differ in appearance.– $44.98 SRLP EACH VOL So, they're charging $45 because it includes a poster and a few postcards? Sounds about right. I really dig the show and the music. The dreamer in me hoped an innovative vendor would get licensing privileges and come out with a single really cool release. Unique artwork, inspired packaging. I remember posting in the Mondo thread the day the show streamed, pining how great it'd be to see them release the soundtrack. Instead it's like we're continually handed snuff videotapes, a la Lost Highway, watching people get bent over by Lakeshore and Invada. You can't blame them for capitalizing on the perfect recipe of ST's popularity and the interest in vinyl, but it just smells and tastes like shit. We all saw how quickly they rushed the first copies out for PO. But now that this "special" release is showing a hilarious lack of anything worthwhile... blergh.

Welp, should have just known how this was going to go down. And you don't even get a box for the Volumes either. Might just go with black records at this point. Still can't believe they didn't do a waffle picture disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apprently invadas will be housed in a box (see: cheap slip cover) that hasn't been pictured in mock ups yet. Still a total joke. Why wouldn't lakeshores also be in a slip? Not that it'd justify anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underwaterzoo Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Even though the pricing is ridiculous, I never picked this up the first time, so I may grab them. Really interested to see what kind of "box" Invada has prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
