jimmythescumbag Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 it's amazing how easily a picture will sell a record. This has happened to me a couple of times. You think, one copy is fine, then you see how good they look and you're like, damn, maybe one more wouldn't hurt... Backed...gotta get that green/orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoo33 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 it's weird if its already a second press when robotic empire hasn't even offered the first press on their site. my black one pales in comparison to these bad boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egoo33 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 i understand where you're coming from but how can robo not have any of first pressings available on their site? i just don't get how they would forgo selling the first pressing to people who weren't able to get them at shows or a particular color that was sold out on blue collar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I don't understand how Robo doesn't have ANY PRESS of this record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 yeah i dunno, the last that i read from robo about the torche lps was that their copies were still being assembled while the pic discs were already at their distributor for stores and the band had their copies on tour. this was awhile ago so i really dont think theyre still being assembled. some of the orange, yellow, purple, white, and black copies ended up on bluecollardistro and sold out pretty quickly which is why im guessing -- again, only a guess -- that they were leftovers from tour which would maybe explain why those went so quick. with the pics of all the new splatter variants, it just seems to me its likely that the band flew through them so quickly that they needed more to finish out the tour and it just ended up being all or close to all of the first pressing. shitty for the online folks if thats the case. but, for splatters, those records are pretty fucking sweet.

egoo33 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 you were right here it is from robo via dead format whoa dudes are getting fired up about dumb shit. pressing info is a clusterfuck, i'll try to post it sometime after i get home. to make a long, painful story short... there were a lot of problems and delays with the assembly of this, and inventory for this release.. and we had to wait patiently to be the LAST to get copies. end of story. in the midst of all that, the quantities got all fucked up, so it's going to be a while before the pressing info can/will be posted. splatter vinyl photos are 2nd pressing, which may still be a little ways away. 1st press = more sought after anyway, right? ya'll chill, we got this up for sale the earliest we possibly could. it's not like we wanted all these hair-graying delays. peace.

fridge Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I doubt Robo was trying to intentionally fuck with people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
