ryantark Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Vinyl is difficult on a retail level, tastes are regional, and vinyl is heavy. Provide free shipping to stores and more exclusives is what i see in the future. And leave vinyl up online when Hot Cash hits.

mindovermatter Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 And leave vinyl up online when Hot Cash hits. Another challenge with vinyl is that labels and distributors are already gouging and raising prices, so profit margins are razor thin on the retail end. Taking a massive discount on them is not a solution if you want to keep them in stores, especially with how Hot Cash functions since so many people just use the discount codes online when they didn't actually make a purchase in the first place.

negrohero9 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 In my opinion Hot Topic should start a subdivision for music in general. That way when the hot cash is going on, I can still buy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 There are absolutely ways they could keep vinyl up while Hot Cash is going on, but they haven't wanted to put the effort towards it. Maybe this is just the "better" way from there standpoint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natealcatraz Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 In my opinion Hot Topic should start a subdivision for music in general. That way when the hot cash is going on, I can still buy stuff. So like what Hot Topic was like before comic books, television, movies, and video games???

pushbacktosquare Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Spoke with a employee at my local Hot Topic today ( Canton Ohio) they still have the Buy 2 get 1 deal... He said what a few people have said here in the past couple months. That their store plans to pretty much stop getting in vinyl by mid 2016 or end, and carry very little if any stock of vinyl. Hope its not true. I was at the Hollywood & Highland location for this sale and got the same response from one of the employees there. Bummer.

Fowty Dollaz Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I was at the Hollywood & Highland location for this sale and got the same response from one of the employees there. Bummer. Same at my local in CT. The girl said that she was told the store was trying to get out of vinyl period. It kind of sucks, but at the same time, if it helps make vinyl less trendy that's cool too. Plus if it stays online, there's always ship to store for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famousdrumer Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 hey travis! i know that HT is going to have the juturna 10 yr, any idea when it will be in stock, as well as if there are any plans to repress On Letting Go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Travis, in case your list of things isn't already half a mile long to get pressed. A few Recommendations here from the peanut gallery: OKGO & Phantom Planet both have a few albums that haven't been pressed. Would love to see them get a HT variant (or a regular press for that matter.) But just waiting for the new Panic! and Say Anything LPs so I can give HT some of my money!

Closure in Moscow seems like something the HT clientele would dig and their first album is solid. I'd buy that for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Travis can shed some light on what current stores that carry vinyl are going to do, and Hot Topic's plans are going forward. I've always been very happy with HT pressings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtbug89 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet but HT has an exclusive contortionist exoplanet variant. Looks like translucent purple to me (just bought one). They'll probably be online soon I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
