Purchase of this bundle guarantees 300 fans all 12 releases. To me it sounds they are telling you to buy the bundle if you want to guarantee that you get all 12 releases, otherwise you might miss out when they go on sale individually.

I assumed that on sale individually would be whats left of these 300. But Ill see if they reply to my inquiry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasda Deelwifkramer 383 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Do we know pressing numbers outside of the 300 for the subscription? I'm on the fence about Almost Here. I've already got it on both kelly green and clear vinyl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With tax and individual shipping cost, comes out to about $360, on $30 all in. But we don’t know how much each release is going to cost. Doesn’t matter anyways, you’ll flip ‘em and make your money back. tokimedo and MCDELTAT 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But also been a FBR fan for 20 years now, seeing many of the bands dozens of times, own multiple versions of their records already, but sure its all about the "flip". I run a business, but I'm also a fan. Both things can be true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most weeks I sell and ship out around 50+ orders. But yeah like any other record store I have stock that sits a little longer than others. Man wouldn't it suck if you went to a record store and they didn't have any records? Having stock isn't the same as being "stuck with". But anyways FBR ...can't wait to see if we get any first time pressed records later in the subscription. PLEASE give me some Hush Sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeartSwells 27 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I was stupid enough to purchase the subscription. Something like this had me thinking it’d never make it to UK stores and the shipping charge was so low it almost made sense. For an out of print album like Some Nights still available from the store I can’t imagine they’re that limited, and I even see UK indie stores putting preorders up for silver copies of The Academy Is... Put through a refund request and will hopefully see that go through in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how it's relevant to this thread but I don't think VMP or Mondo accept returns. UO like most retail stores are pretty easy to return to if you keep your receipt.
