The beer/whiskey game is still worse than vinyl, but only by a small margin anymore. Some of the shit I see in trade groups is insane. A four pack of milkshake slushy IPA w/ kiwi and organic butter that will likely explode while in USPS' hands? $55 shipped, nerds. Lambic is crazy for some of the more uncommon bottles, but the BA stouts are what have really going off the rails in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a huge wait too? getting lambic shipped from europe can take a month or two, if you can even hit on anything just to spend $160 in shipping alone. but yeah, like someone mentioned here, all the rage these days is on barrel aged stouts and sours. Long drives, long lines, all the hype. V3XED 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-order delays, re-issues, overstocks on RSD/Black Friday etc are killing it now. Glad I'm getting out. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 4 hours ago, Derek™ said: May be time for a different hobby. Get out while you can. What you’re describing has been the name of the game since I started buying vinyl back in ‘09, personally. Hasn’t really changed since then. You either play around the FOMO or settle for whatever Amazon may eventually stock down the road. Desirable variants and limited editions are probably off the table for you unless - like you said - you’re only buying them for artists / albums you know and love. Just the nature of new releases and has been for quite some time – I will agree that Covid has really compounded the waiting game and made delays way more common, though. Preorders have never been consistently delayed for months on end like they have the last 2 years. 4 hours ago, Rip said: The way I look at it, they’re ordered, so you’re gonna get them eventually. Nothing you personally can do about it other than just wait. It sucks but it’s all a part of it. It may be worse now than I used to be, but this has always been a thing.

MCDELTAT Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Yep. Welcome. It's what you get. I only started my spreadsheet this year, but I really want to go back and see if I can create a graph of growing lead times over the years. Last year the winner for longest order was mewithoutYou - It's All Crazy (Deluxe), with a total of 298 days from order to doorstep. Second place was the ETID/Cave In Split, at 241 days. shenanigans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The longest timeline from ordering to arriving at my doorstep was Halsey’s Manic signed LPs with 437 days. Not that I was counting.

drewberinger Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I need to do a better job of organizing my pre-orders - I forget what I've ordered so it's always a nice surprise to see what record I get on any given day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noseykyle Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's obnoxious when you preorder from the band/label, and you see the album on a record store shelf a good month or two before you receive your copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Matchbox 20 is currently trying to play King of the Mountain, but I don’t think they’ll beat TOYPAJ. It’s now 16 months since PO’s started and 14 months since the initial release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
