j4m35 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 this is pretty legit for a box set. $500 still is a lot of money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicdogbert Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 meh, i'll stick with my original Rough Trade CDs, the few OG 12"s and the 7" box set from 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisahiijack Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 looks like a well-assembled box set, but i think only die hard collectors will be able to afford this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekitsch Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The vinyl only package is $331USD to shipped here. Yikes. Was about to order... Maybe not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkie Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 i wonder if this will be available in the USA and for how much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekitsch Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 i wonder if this will be available in the USA and for how much... Seriously... If the vinyl package was $250 I'd have no problem paying for it, but $330? Kind of ridic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 considering how many they made that price just does not justify the purchase. i still feel guilty for paying $250 for my Bad Religion box set. i don't listen to it nearly enough to justify that, and they made too many for it to ever increase in value.

vinyljunkie Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 people complaining about the price on this board are weird. Ill bet most people have spent WAY more than 400 bucks on 8 LPs and 25 7"s. Hell a lot of people on this board have spent 400 bucks on a couple of rare hyped prints, or 5 or 6 rare variants of a record i think its a little overpriced personally, but thats because im not a fan of the band. I imagine there will be a LOT of fans rushing out to buy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidamnesiac Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Speaking for myself, it's not the idea of the price for what you get that hurts, it's the idea of dropping that much money at one time on a single release. Want, but I'll have to pass this time. Already own all the full lengths and several of the singles from the recent repress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vodkablast Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I was about to buy this but $100+ for shipping, can't do it. I emailed Rhino to see if the US store will sell it. The reissues of the albums are $25, the other four you can get for around $25 each ($200). I think those last 7" reissues were $7 each ($175). The CD set is $60. So it's not a bad price.
