xipander Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ok, so to start off I'm going to post the pics of the collection together. I have a few dupes I'm willing to trade for any I don't have. But mainly, my eyes are bad and I can't tell some colors that well, and my wife doesn't know anything about the colors that are suppose to be there so I'm looking for color/varaition help. and any pressing numbers would be cool too. I'm listing from top left to right(?'s means I can't tell the color) They're in the format ab / cd: ? / clear green (? looks the same colord as my turq. and greengrey) drk. purple / grey (labeled from vc) (grey looks brownish) drk. purple / ? (? looks greyish purple) turquoise marble / turquoise marble (labeled from vagrant) clear red with black smoke / ? drk. grey / plum (labeled from ihpr) greengrey / greengrey (labeled from vagrant) drk green / plum ? / plum (? looks purpleish) clear green / clear green drk purple / light purple ? / plum (? looks greenish) yellow / yellow ? / light purple (? looks brownish) ? / plum (? looks drk. green) light purple / light olive (labeled from ihpr) both the ones from vagrant look almost the same. when my wife gets home i'll try to update the colors alittle better. I'll take individual pics later tonight for comparisons. Someone please let me know all the ones I'm missing. p.s. if you were wondering, that is a ps1, 2, and 3, suikoden 2, and all the samurai 7 le boxes in the background.

astromatt Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Wow, congrats on collecting all of these. The plum colour looks cool and I really hope that is the colour I get when I finally pick up my packages this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 i cant believe they made so many colors that are so similar. i know there are in betweens but normally they arent so close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xipander Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 So far it's looking like the far right column 2nd and 3rd from the top are duplicates, bottom right and the middle column 3rd from top are duplicates (right column 2nd from bottom looks almost the same, just green is a tad lighter), and the top middle and top right are possibly dupes, the "grey" on the middle one looks darker. if anyone's interested in any trades for those hit me up.

cj Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 you might be able to sell them on ebay as super rare variations... just post a picture of what the regular one looks like and then show the one thats just off. some dumb kid will buy it. no offence if it's somebody on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernfailure Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I will never understand the appeal of ridiculous amounts of copies of one album. yea for real. i struggle to just buy one copy of records i want. if i had enough to buy that many of one record, i'd just buy a few expensive records i wanted on ebay.

Hopefully this helps you out. yeah, that helps alot. Thanks. There's quite a few on there I don't have.... and I have a few that aren't on there. :-/ was that from the VC all 10box? I wonder where the other colors I have came from then. I also have a "limited edition red" on the way from aural exploits, that said it shipped on the 22nd and isn't here yet. I'll try to take the individual shots soon so you can see mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedupx Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah I'd love to see close up pics! There's another guy on here named Lane who has a few variations that neither of us have too! Ugh! I got all of them from the 10 pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest conoley Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 You'll never know what the combo colors are out of because there could a whole bunch of "home made" combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 ^^ one of the things i'm sure cobraside didn't even think of when they fucked this pressing up. yet another reason i hate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Alk3 - Remains = the new AM! & HWM At least with Reinventing Axl Rose, we were given pressing numbers. This really just looks like they picked random colors for each LP, then randomly paired them up. You could buy 100 copies, and probably make them all different.

wannabepunktony Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I just got one today that I don't think is on that list: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsandwich Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 just out of curiosity is this part of a larger ALK3 collection, or are you not into the rest of their material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xipander Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 You'll never know what the combo colors are out of because there could a whole bunch of "home made" combos. Yeah, I figured that, but I've noticed a little bit of consistency. Like all the plum's i've seen have been c/d and all the drk purple's, drk green's, and red's i've seen have been a/b. So it looks like they made a stack of color's for a/b and another stack for c/d and just shuffled them together. Which cuts down on some of the combo's. just out of curiosityis this part of a larger ALK3 collection, or are you not into the rest of their material? It's part of a larger collection. I'll see if I can come up with floor space for a picture of the rest. I have all the variations of all the repress's except the ones I'm missing from remains. Other then that I'm mainly missing the expensive ones. I need sundials, for your lungs only, i lied my face off, goddammit w/ clock label, maybe i'll catch fire w/ black label, and one of the 7" picture discs I just got one today that I don't think is on that list: Awesome!! what was the other color with it? or were the both that color? I'm compiling a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
