jhulud Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 As promised...pics of the box set... The etchings were impossible to get to show up in pics...I guess they will be seen better in the other colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altarsofradness Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 hydra head needs to do stuff like this more often. im sure it's a pain, and it's definitely expensive, but opening this up was as close to christmas morning as it can get in my late 20's.

jhulud Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I want to avoid this thread turning into a "flipping is bad...damn them flippers" one...but seeing this eBay link/auction is a shame...there have been a few already but it's like WTF?!?!?...It was definitely not easy or convenient to get one and I wish that more people who really wanted it got one (Yeah! I'm looking at you Alan!)...and it really pisses me off that some asshole got one with the only intent to flip it on eBay and cash in on someone else's desperation and want of this...GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!

Should have released via Hydraheads store with their usual one per person policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altarsofradness Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 with only 300 made, there's just no way hydra head was going to get these out to everyone who wanted one no matter how you look at it. and while it does seem a little strange to sell a bunch at the hydra head location, even if all the copies were listed for sale on the blue collar site there still would be flippers. yeah, it's lame, but there's really no way to get around it. at least the standard version is readily available. i would have thought they would have drove the ebay demand for these box sets down significantly. guess not.

silentgods Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 true, but we also don't know if hydrahead allowed people who came around to their store to buy more then one copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Flipping is gonna happen no matter what...and like I said, I want to avoid turning the thread into that discussion...but the way it was initially handled, had a lot of room for improvement. The standard 4xLP was readily available via the HH BCD online store and it seems to be doing well and people getting their hands on it...well, except for the clear blue version which is being speculated to be the one that's pressed out of 100 since it sold out so quick. I guess, better luck and sales approach next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgods Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 blues supposedly the rarest color? awesome, thats the one i grabbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I, along with some others, are guessing that blue is the rarest color. My rationale is that it sold out so quick from the HH BCD store so therefore it's rarest...then again, it could attributed to people's desire for it after the box set debacle and it being the best-looking color. Or I could be talking outta my ass...as I sometimes tend to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
