timbrh2001 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 If someone can get an extra Rome 2xlp, Dead Weather, or Jack White lightning bolt. I'd be glad to pay extra for time and gas. The RRS sure isn't going to roll to Hawaii anytime. It woul be much appreciated, and to clarify Ii am a fan I'm not going to flip them. Thanks! The inverted lightning bolt is up for sale on their website. Looks even better than the regular, IMO. rudeboydh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octave Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The inverted lightning bolt is up for sale on their website. Looks even better than the regular, IMO. Yeah, I ordered one yesterday. Thought it would be neat to have both. But, if I did have the choice I would want the Rome 2xlp or the Dead Weather more, just cause I already ordered one of the inverted. Just broadening my chances.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make me an offer on the Rome 2xLP if you'd like... It's sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What is it that's special about the Rome LP? I don't mean that in a condescending way, I'm just legitimately curious. I hadn't seen info about it anywhere, so if someone could give me the recap or point me in the direction of some info, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I think, someone correct me if I am wrong, the lmtd. Rome is a 2xLP colored version compared to a single LP black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rome is a 2xLP colored version compared to a single LP black? that's correct. it's special because... 1. one orange LP and one white LP rather than just one black LP 2. gatefold jacket with extra art 3. the second LP is the whole album as instrumentals, exclusive to this release 4. "rare" and only available via the RRS. not something i'd pay a ton for, but something i'd pay $40 for at the RRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxv Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Nope sorry. Unacceptable answer, you're still 2nd. You two bicker like you think that either one of you is going to get one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think I am going to head down to MA and try my luck. I convinced the wife to go with me so if possible, and depending on what the line looks like behind me, assuming I get there earlier enough, I'll try to grab some extra stuff. If, and this is a big if that is out of my control, I can get my hands on some goodies I'll let you guys know. I'm not a rich man right now, 8 weddings in a summer add up, so if I get some extra I'm probably going to ask for an extra $5 or $10 for some stuff to cover gas. wait you got married 8 times this summer?

JimmyBOD Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 i think he went to 8 weddings. That's going to one wedding two out of every three weeks... assuming not more than one wedding per week. He must be a Mormon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize neither one of us is getting one of these considering nobody is going to wait in line for us and sell it to us for less than what you can get it for on ebay ($350). I was just being a goofball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Not mormon, just get a lot of invites. It wasn't all in the summer, a few were in the spring. Didn't realize it would get some much scrutiny! Point is I've had weddings, parties and various other shit pretty much every weekend for what seems like forever now and the well is running dry.

Sh_tluck Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'll be seeing Jack at Bridge School Benefit on Sunday. No RRS items but hopefully tour singles at least. I'll let you everyone know if I get extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped out with extra tour 7"s when I got a chance, guess it's my turn to hope for some love if you grab an extra Freedom at 21 and/or I'm Shakin'.

jerseydave77 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I went to the RRS today to help out a friend and here is the letter I just sent Third Man. Dear Third Man, I feel compelled to write after my first couple of experiences with the Rolling Record Store. They were awesome. I’m not a big fan of lines but I honestly met some great people and huge music fans. The truck is run so professionally and with real kindness. Now, the main reason for my letter; I hope you can extend an apology from me to Ben. I was on line at ACE when we had an older guy cut in line. I was really upset after first politely asking him to do the right thing and step back and he wouldn’t. My confrontation had him offering me back my spot in line but behind me was an 18 year old high school senior I’d gotten to know who was really intimidated and asked me to stick up for him. The lack of integrity on this grown man’s part led me to ask Ben to have him leave. I was definitely hotter than I wanted to be as I was called a liar but I offered to leave the line if it meant he would too. I simply believe in integrity and fairness. On Wednesday Night at Santos I paid another guys tax so he wouldn’t have wasted 2 hours in line. I spend my spare time as a volunteer fire fighter and volunteering at a homeless shelter. Vinyl is cool but it isn’t life. Records shouldn’t be so important to a grown man to want to mess with a kid in High School. So I hope you can lend a bit of understanding that I don’t like to get upset like that and I apologize for putting Ben in the middle. When I was 18 music was everything to me and what I heard on vinyl sparked a rebellion in the way I viewed the world – its more a hobby to me now but I really wanted that kid to get what he came for and I really hope he did. I walked away from the line despite having been there two hours to give him his shot as this guy remained arguing his case. Even though we are strangers I want to offer my apologies for raising my voice, I truly hope you can understand where it came from and can forgive me. I wish you all the best on the rest of your journey and your return home. I missed the triple decker I came to pick up for an old friend by walking away but I hope that kid got one and felt damn good about it. Yours Truly, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This guy wins Collector Scum of the Year award. I'm proud of myself for not punching him. I'm also pretty sure that if they kept him from buying that the 18 year old who's Mom was picking him up got the last triple decker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylmaus Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 That letter was serious business. Why didn't other people in the line call the old man out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Why? Well the short girl in front of me vouched. The 18 year old was scared as the buy was 6'4" and the rest were saying things under their breath. Look, I don't care, I really wanted that kid to get a fair shot. I walked away and hopefully this guy got tossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end if you would have done that, you would of ended up being in the wrong no matter what he did. It's really a shame people act like this.

jerseydave77 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's beneath me to fight someone over a piece of vinyl - it isn't beneath me to punch a 45 year old man who thinks it's cool to fuck with a High School kid. It never escalated to anything close to that, like I said I walked away and gave the kid his shot. What's missing from the letter is that there were 33 copies there today and our group was on the cusp. Hope I don't come off like an asshole here but I was just blown away and the anger built in me as this kid asked me to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octave Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not at all, man. It would have been really hard not to punch that asshat in the face. I would have had your back if things would have escalated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 A guy cut in line when I was in line for the RRS and it resulted in the guy in front of me getting the last Lightning Bolt Blunderbuss. Thanks for sticking up for that kid. I know I felt like complete shit when no one said or did anything and I missed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agaetisbyrjun Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Heard that on the Vault somewhere, Ben Swank said they were sending Vault 13 to last names alphabetically (A to Z), so for Vault 14, they’re doing it backwards (Z to A).
