oakland Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 When most people on a record collector site are saying you shouldn't bother with an exclusive color, you know there's not much interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opivy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Like most people who commented I would be in for streetlight not the other too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainreck Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i probably wouldn't buy any of them but if i did the color won't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabepunktony Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Personally, I'd buy Streetlight without a second thought, but I wouldn't bother with any of the others. But I think the comment about the lower press runs for some early Victory releases still being available goes a long way to saying that 400 copies is probably too many. 200 each I think would be a wiser investment, but they probably won't do that. Then again, it doesn't seem like VC is hurting for cash flow and selling as many of these as soon as possible probably wouldn't be a necessity, so if you have the patience to sit on those records after the initial rush, then it might be worth the investment and the publicity from the exclusives.

wadeboggs Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I would pick up Streetlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijux Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i'd consider darkest hour, but none of the others... all depending on how much other new stuff comes out that month, i already own the cd... so no definite yes on DH either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 as much as i don't want to support victory, i'd pick up the streetlight record... Also, I agree with everyone else. I'd buy it regardless of teh color. I wouldn't buy 2 copies to get 2 different colors, either... so whichever is available at the time of purchase. Might not be worth it for you to do exclusives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyIceyo Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 in these times...400 records of each is tough..and every band is so varied..and everyone likes one or 2 and not another..i woudlnt..i would get the SM record if ya had it in the store..

kirbypuckett Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I would say the Streetlight Manifesto for SHIZZEL! I'm still pissed that hasn't happened yet.I'm so proud of you Virgil, you grow up so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejonnyhormone Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I kinda feel like you shouldn't do this. I mean you will carry this records regardless of exclusive color or not. I think you should put that money into doing your guys' own records and carry the standard color that Victory puts out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelvetwenty Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I lost my faith in Victory Records and any of the bands on its roster a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 we sold 300 of a non-exclusive color of Streetlight. I am leaning towards that one and the darkest hour. I think I might pass on the silverstein as I think i would get stuck with a lot of copies. Sounds like a good plan to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldwind Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 wannabepunktony hits the nail on the head imo "I think the comment about the lower press runs for some early Victory releases still being available goes a long way to saying that 400 copies is probably too many. 200 each I think would be a wiser investment, but they probably won't do that.

Kjm23 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Would buy Silverstein, which I think is two of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlovecolouredx Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i will buy streetlight manifesto and darkest hour for sure. i also love silverstein but never have their record before and i think only cd will fit for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Personally, I think it's a risky deal with any of these releases. Even darkest Hour's New album is still in print, including the /200 Pink Variant, which was the webstore exclusive and available. I think you may be better off passing. However, if you do decide to carry DH, I'll still pick it up from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smccown13 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think Alaska should be an option. I think it would sell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemjfan23 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I wouldn't buy them, but it would definitely help more people find out about you guys. i know i originally found out about vc because of some exclusive alk3 colors they had. it's been downhill for my wallet ever since...

misterc13 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Streetlight for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180gramparamedic Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Pass on these. No one over the age of 15 give a shit about any of these bands. (well besides SM) but Darkest Hour? lol @ victory 'metalcore' put out a Gentlemen LP (via suburban home) instead, Virgil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
