rocknroll76 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 they're full of shit. false advertising at it's finest. the box set is /3800, not /2500 as advertised. mine is number 2069 out of 3800. That's some straight up bullshit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some straight up bullshit!!! yeah it's weird. If you go to the bottom of the page on the right, it says only 2500 available here, boxes are #ed out of 3800. So it seems like 1300 were sent to store like hot topic and.....walmart haha. If this was about 40 bucks cheaper I would pick it up. Seems like a cool piece of history to own.

Then swoop in and get it a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's all try and remember that, and give everyone a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 hope it did really go to Hot Topic and I can eventually get one on clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 hope it did really go to Hot Topic and I can eventually get one on clearance. I ordered one, but will gladly grab another if they become HT clearance items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 anyone who ordered this already email their customer support about them lying about how many copies were pressed of the box set. they gave me $25 off the order and credited it to my credit card. they also offered me $25 worth of music from the green day webstore for free, but i opted for the first choice.

dutchrudder Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Video of the package being opened: And another picture: Wow, it sounds like he literally dropped the needle on the record and missed the first couple of notes. Ridiculous. That's what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure that record is fucked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokithelion Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 they're making good and giving 25 bucks back to people who care that its slightly less barely limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmythescumbag Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 they're making good and giving 25 bucks back to people who care that its slightly less barely limited. Well, we know one person got credited so far... Besides, lies are lies are lies. I can respect that they are fixing their slip-up though. Also, 2500 is actually kinda limited compared to the amount of albums a band like Green Day sells. Same with the Blink re-press...2000 records to appease millions of fans. Either way, so long as they are making good I am happy, and I am enjoying the set too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 i didn't care how many sets were made when i bought this, that was not a factor at all. neither was the price because it worked out to around $8 per record. i bought it because it was an easier and more cost effective way to get most of their 7"s than going the ebay rout. with their website having "only 2500!" in bold lettering and in all caps, and then having the boxset being numbered /3800, i just wanted an explaination as to why they advertised it as limited 2500 when they knew full well that it wasn't. i didn't ask for any money back at all. but with that said who in their right mind would refuse a refund of any $ amount?

Right on. My logic was the same as far as not having to hunt down every record individually. That is why I bought it (plus the "free" box), but if I have the ability to get a bit back on it, I may as well be "outraged". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
