distinctlydustin Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 But now you can buy both warped AND overpriced vinyl at HT. I went into HT the other day and asked to see their vinyl. Dude was like, "Over here, mang." It was one record. I think the WD soundtrack. He said, "We're getting more, broseph." I left and haven't returned.

Except the guy handed me one record and said "Dude this thing sells for like $50 on eBay" I looked at it and all 4 corners were bent....badly. I promptly left the store.

I have to make it a trip to go to any that do. So, I'm hoping the vinyl expansion rumors are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokimedo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Its the only HT store Ive ever seen that had them stored like that, not sure if it was just a temp thing, Very Odd. Their stock was definitely growing though. From about 30 records total a few weeks ago, to about 100 or more as of last Friday. which nova store?

Chancrescolex Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It sure would be nice if it was true. My friend who works at the Washington store said that after July, Hot Topic is getting rid of their current music set up in favor of vinyl. I would say its more than just a rumor!

psus2h Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The potomac mills store in Woodbridge, VaJust have them shipped into DC if you are there frequently. No sales tax! So most of the time you do it right the shipping costs are lower than the sales tax, but if you're rarely in DC then no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsHans Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Every time a new HT exclusive comes out I call the Hot Topic at Universal City Walk to see if they got it since it's the closest one to me. They always say "we don't carry any vinyl. sorry" I happened to be at Universal Studios the other day and went to the store and they have a lot of records. Pretty much every Epitaph repress and a lot of other shit. All laying flat, stacked. I asked the cashier how long they've been carrying vinyl and she told me they've had records for over a year... Long story short: I'm glad I never bought anything from them since that's the way they keep their records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subwire Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 On a positive note I just picked up the Disney soundtracks for a member here and of course the guy as to do his sales pitch but also tells be that the store is phasing out the cd's and bringing more vinyl in.

Seems like most of the stores around here are phasing out music completely. Only one of them actually gets a decent stock of vinyl as it is. The other sits on 15 records... maybe. They did get the Disney stuff, so hopefully thats a sign that they'll start getting more in general. The closest store to me has one of those black crates... on the floor... hidden under a clearance clothing rack. Just garbage in there too. Sucks.

marc32137 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The Blink thread's locked, but just wanted to say Enema's back up. At least 50 copies available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACS___ Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The Hot Topic in Orange Park, FL has TWO whole (half-filled) crates dedicated to Vinyl. You could add Cartel - Chroma to the list. EnjoyTheRide said it should be in HT stores within the next week and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I don't suppose I could send some cash via paypal to any of you lovely Americans to buy a copy of Enema and send it over to the UK for me can I? Eternal gratitude awaits you. Never mind - OOS again. (✖╭╮✖) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb_enjoys_vinyl Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 i went to a hot topic in new jersey (pretty far away from home) and i found a crate of vinyl tucked under a lot of stuff, full with more stacked on top... a few were damaged and they had a bunch of copies of the rival schools src repress with the lps scattered across the crate... i ended up picking up good charlotte: s/t which was in good condition still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funtitled Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Well luckily for everyone, lots of copies of all of these will be available online! *everything sucks sold out in a few hours WalnutSoap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Since the Blink thread is locked I'll post this here. Hey Travis, TOYPAJ and Self-Titled both sold out fast and you're repressing both of those. Can the same be expected for the Mark, Tom and Travis Show? I thought I could live without it (I was wrong haha) and obviously now they're hard to get. Wanted to know if more were coming before dishing out too much money for it. I grabbed a copy of EOTS, but I'm curious to know if more of those are coming as well. psus2h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emokid9963 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Went to two different HT's in Florida. Had nothing I wanted, all Blink was gone. Was looking to MTTS and EOTS, no dice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
