flash Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I hope there is a special place in hell for whatever asshole is using this box set for flipping and trying to make a buck. If you want to make money buy stock in Apple or start selling meth. I am sure ISIS meant the whole project to be a celebration of the band and all of there accomplishments, not another way to have nerds make money. I've been collecting my whole life and it's due to my genuine love of records and their packaging, profit has never entered my mind. I would only hope that everyone else would have a similar view in light of the immensity of the release. That being said....if I get shafted on getting this I would be willing to throw in unopened copies of both the red and clear japanese bag versions of the latest LP on top of the sticker price in order to get me one of the boxes from said potential profiteers.

beardedskull Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm with you man, I wish everybody who wanted one had a chance to get one. It's really only probably people who really like ISIS who are going to drop that much money on a box set of vinyl. I just hope I'm one of the lucky ones and gets it from RE, or their webstore as a last ditch effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I really wanna see some photos of someone who has got theirs, I know Aaron Turner put some on his blog, but I want better ones, kinda like that awesome set of photos for the in rainbows discbox. (that made me buy the freakin thing) I'll post some if i get mine first, it was shipped within 4 hours of me ordering. I think i may have been one of the first, although that doesnt really have much impact on the speed of the postal service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 themidnighter over at DF received his copy already and posted pics (he lives in France and that's how he got it so quick) Box Booklet Mosquito Control A closer look at Mosquito Control Red Sea Sawblade Celestial disc 1 Celestial dics 2 Sgnl05 Oceanic disc 1 Oceanic disc 2 Panopticon disc 1 Panopticon disc 2 In The Absence of Truth disc 1 In The Absence of Truth disc 2 He went to further say: "well so it's all awesome, every sleeve is written on both sides with glossy ink... I'm just missing an obi strip to keep the box sealed, like they did for the oceanic remixes." So yeah...this thing looks massive and amazing...

fridge Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah the corners of the outer box on mine were a little dented, but there is almost another box worth of cardboard inside protecting the vinyl box, plus the bubble wrap and additional corner reinforcing under the bubble wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is it? How does it come packaged? Thanks and congrats for getting yours already I cannot fucking wait. may even have to call out when mine comes just to geek with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I never thought this came w/ a poster. Unless I missed it being mentioned when it was first announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneven Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I never thought this came w/ a poster. Unless I missed it being mentioned when it was first announced. This is from Conspiracys blog awhile back - "celebrate a decade of being a band, ISIS, CONSPIRACY RECORDS and ROBOTIC EMPIRE announce the details for a 10th anniversary box set release. This fall, the Boston-to-Los Angeles transplants will release their entire studio recordings in one deluxe 12 vinyl-LP box set. With an oversized poster insert and cloth-bound, foil-stamped custom box, the band is aiming to make this set something their avid collector fans will be proud to own." http://conspiracyrecords.blogspot.com/2007/10/to-celebrate-decade-of-being-band-isis.html Then i never heard anything else, so I am not sure if it actually was produced that way or if the poster-insert referenced something else.... Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The box in the pics didn not look cloth-bound and the guy who took the pics I posted didn't make any mention of the poster...if any... Weird... Hey fridge! Besides the records and the booklet, anything else come in the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostapostle Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Those pics look awesome. Man, I can't wait for this to go up for order on RE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardedskull Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I hope it goes up soon. I haven't closed RE's page for almost a week. They probably think I'm a retard or something, because I think I've made like three different orders of stuff that popped up on the front page that I talked myself into.

uneven Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Not that I am complaining, but I am really surprised the set hasn't shown up on ebay yet. I was positive someone was going to throw it on auction as soon as they got it. Glad to see that hasn't happened yet, but its def a surprise to me.

fridge Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Curious about the poster that comes with the set (at least thats what I thought came with the set), is it the logo print? How big is it? How does it come packaged? Yeah the poster thing is in the second photo, it folds out twice vertically. I wouldnt call it a booklet though.. It does have lyrics on one side, the other is plain black. You could put it on your wall but that would ruin the completeness of your set The box in the pics didn not look cloth-bound and the guy who took the pics I posted didn't make any mention of the poster...if any...Weird... Hey fridge! Besides the records and the booklet, anything else come in the box? No thats pretty much it! I can assure you that the box is not just plain cardboard... I'm not sure if its cloth as such but it has a nice texture to it. I am assuming that the paper sleeves are just an extra in there to prevent shipping damage, because they dont seem to fit in the cardboard sleeves very well.

jhulud Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Conspiracy said that they were going to put the records in paper sleeves to prevent any damage during shipping... And thanks for clarifying that whole poster issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was positive someone was going to throw it on auction as soon as they got it. Glad to see that hasn't happened yet, but its def a surprise to me. I know, I was expecting to see one or two listed for auction a couple of days after the conspiracy batch was shipped. hopefully all the copies have gone to fans who plan on keeping them.
