cartmanlit3 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 so this vinyl set seems to be sold out on their website. is that to say that amazon will sell out soon as well? is hot topic getting their hands on this vinyl release like they did for the past 3 reissues?

almightyseancore Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 i seriously seriously seriously wish they had made the cd set the same size box and price as the last 3. it's driving me nuts what they are doing with it for this release. i love it but i hate the inconsistency and i REALLY hate the price. crapforgenius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Saw the CD box at a local record store on shelf already. $150. Did not buy. Mostly only care about the 4LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 someone here should just buy me the cd box because they love me. if i'm going to spend this kind of money, i might as well just save another $150 and buy a wiiu insted.

sergeantscruffy Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 i seriously seriously seriously wish they had made the cd set the same size box and price as the last 3. it's driving me nuts what they are doing with it for this release. i love it but i hate the inconsistency and i REALLY hate the price. Seriously, I crave consistency. The fact that the first two records had foil covers and then Pisces Iscariot didn't infuriated me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ^^ I agree with both. I was loving those cute little boxes that the other three came in. It would've been sweet to have all of the reissues lined up all perfectly on a shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Do you think the might release all the albums on vinyl in a box set at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 That price would be a nightmare. I don't think they could sell many of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Do you think the might release all the albums on vinyl in a box set at the end? no. It was enough of a battle to get this released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 so this vinyl set seems to be sold out on their website. is that to say that amazon will sell out soon as well? is hot topic getting their hands on this vinyl release like they did for the past 3 reissues? Looks in stock at sp.com to me. While it may sell out eventually, I'm sure they are making tons of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crapforgenius Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 someone here should just buy me the cd box because they love me. if i'm going to spend this kind of money, i might as well just save another $150 and buy a wiiu insted. I maintain that they should have made a numbered edition of this gigantic CD box - 5000 or 15000, the originally announced run numbers of the original 3xLP would be a nice touch - for those that want it and make a box similar to what we already have without all the bells and whistles for the rest of us that don't. I would guess they would have to come out ahead that way as sticker shock wouldn't have completely scared some people away. (Whoops, grabbed the wrong quote. It was supposed to be in regards to Sean's earlier comment.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickemmons Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I got fucked with the canceled amazon order and still haven't gotten the link & code to buy it again even after multiple emails / live chats - they pretty much told me in a nice way to stop contacting them about it until this friday because they are still working on it. I went ahead and bought it from the sp.com store to make sure I have one coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get that email asking "Did i solve your problem?" if you say no someone calls you back and they are pretty damn nice, like they've always been pretty nice about the fact that I get shit stolen from my porch on occasion.

bobfrombob Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah, I was getting an email runaround too and called them and had my issue resolved in 4 minutues. I don't know if everybody on the phone is that helpful but the guy I got was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsostarich Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I canceled my order of this through my record store when the amazon.ca deal happened and they just called me telling me they got it in stock today (my record store, not amazon). I don't see a point in me picking it up and they told me they canceled it weeks ago. I'm trying to decide if I should get another copy though. Anyway, it looks like the warehouses have started to ship these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markok Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 They are just probably praying for the impatient ones to cancel their orders and I'm sure, many will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rotatethissonicboo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 So this will be released in December and Amazon isn't shipping till January? Or is every company delayed on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Its released on tuesday It will be avail everywhere I love everyone thinking that their amazon messages are personalized or that some conspiracy exists between amazon and SP. Amazon is a huge company shipping millions of products. They dont care about this box set and the emails you are referencing are generic automated. They didnt employ someone to fuck with over anxious neurotic Smashing Pumpkins fans for a box set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
