dantheriver Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 i definitely wouldnt have gotten up early to stand in line .... this is also against the t+cs of the deal with RSD.. so i wonder if cake gets blacklisted because of it Does a band really NEED RSD? Plenty of bands/labels still put stuff out on RSD and it garners a good deal of attention regardless of being on the official list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinerdog Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 speaking of waiting.... I'm still waiting for them to change my status from Ready to Ship.... this sucks. Send them an email. They usually respond in minutes, and maybe they'll even have a tracking number for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Send them an email. They usually respond in minutes, and maybe they'll even have a tracking number for ya. Seriously don't do that. It's been like 24 hours. They aren't going to magically ship out every single box along with any other orders for other bands overnight.

timbrh2001 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I fail to see how this is "misleading the fans". The box set was initially limited to 900. Yes. But then guess what? The band got hip to seeing that a good number of fans got shafted in either not securing one on RSD or online sales and then getting fleeced by flippers on eBay. So they recognized this and made the decision to hook their fans up by pressing more. I fail to see how this is misleading at all. The sense of inflated entitlement of some people is astounding. The right thing to do is to re-press this boxset and make it a different color vinyl. That way nobody can complain that their boxset that they once thought was limited, is no longer limited anymore. The fans who missed out on a boxset now have an option to purchase one, albeit slightly different. Everyone's happy. My issue with this is that a) they broke RSDs rules it's their fault they didn't press more to begin with c) they marketed this boxset themselves as being limited. If it was always your intention was to press more copies, you should have made it an "RSD First" item like LCD Soundsystem did with their boxsets.

flood Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 obviously the whole thing is a first world problems scenario... but their technically could be legal ramifications if some nutob is pissed that he spent 12 hours outside, or forked over $500 on ebay.. they'd have a pretty clear cut false advertising claim (probably have one already seeing as the 900 number was understated already).. so its an interesting situation from a legal standpoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirize Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Im glad everyone has the opportunity to get a set. If i would have known i could get it cheaper, not on rsd and from the comfort of my couch i would have waited. I still would have lined up just to avoid the chance of being poorly packed for shipping and split spines due to repeated drop-kicks by unhappy USPS workers.

derby625 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Got my copy in the mail today from my eBay purchase. When this box set was first announced last year, I told myself I'd pay up to $250 for it. That's exactly how much a bought a copy for on eBay; I could have saved by waiting but I'm impatient and don't like uncertainty. That being said this thing is GORGEOUS!!! Spinning Prolonging the Magic right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do what you say you're gonna do, it's really not that hard. Don't lie to people just so you can help push your product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm forgetting something, there was no false advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weinerdog Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Seriously don't do that. It's been like 24 hours. They aren't going to magically ship out every single box along with any other orders for other bands overnight. My point was that their customer service is responsive, and that any concerns about orders/order status will probably be handled quickly. I wasn't implying that anyone who recently ordered should mindlessly spam them looking for constant updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebistro Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I waited in line on RSD, and i don't care that there were more than advertised. I'm just glad I own it, and glad other people who wanted it are able to own it as well. Letseatchairs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like that they are not shipping in a proper order though. people who ordered much later in the day have rec'd shipped notices but others who ordered earlier are still waiting...

beatnik11 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 This thread, holy shit. Cakegate 2014. Can't everyone just listen to their records and be happy? LOL. Yep this whole thing is one giant first world problem. I am in the camp that though 900 was too few and I figured they would do a repress eventually, maybe a year or so from now. I am surprised that they are announcing a 2nd run so quickly, but I am just happy that I will be able to grab one of these in the near future.

thespungo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Guys -- Nowhere was it said this boxset was limited to 900 copies total. 900 was the number that would be available on RSD only. Cake made it clear on their mailing list that they would have additional copies available through their webstore -- they didn't give an exact number, just that they would have copies available in addition to the 900 that were sold through record stores on RSD. Why is this rumor getting so out of hand? Why are people actually upset about any of this? Why hasn't my copy shipped yet? Should I email the webstore and then update you all on whether or not my order has been marked as "shipped" or if it's still labeled "ready to ship?"

Pretty sure this was billed as RSD exclusive /900. Not worried about it enough to check. Either way, deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commend you for your loyalty to Cake and their mailing list. I don't care enough about them to feel humbled by your extreme Cake knowledge. Congrats though, you won this time. fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
