    why so expensive?
     What I can't figure out is the box set price. All the reissues (or originals for BS and LB) are $20-25. Why is the set of 10 $350?
    Yea, I just get $295, maybe the COA cost another $50
    Ten - 20
    Vs - 25
    Vitalogy - 30
    No Code - 30
    Yield - 25
    Binaural - 25
    Riot Act - 25
    Pearl Jam - 25
    Backspacer - 20
    Lightning Bolt - 25
    Box -45


    Yup. If it's $295 separately, the. You'd think it be about $250 tops as a bundle and not an extra $55 on top of the retail. Seems completely pointless to me, surprised they sold a single one.
    if they sell out and anyone still interested just let me know. I'll sell it to you for $350 and buy it all separately myself. I'll even include my receipt so you know it was purchase through the 10c, since that's what the COA is for anyway

    Not to mention I have no desire for the box itself if it's anything like the 10 or VS deluxe boxes. Just fancy cardboard that takes up extra space on my shelf

    So if I currently own 2009 Ten Redux set, 2011 Vs. and Vitalogy reissues, OG Backspacer and Lightning Bolt, and this year's No Code and Yield reissues, would there be any reason, outside of a certificate, to buy the complete box set vs. buying the empty box + these new releases of OG Ten, Binauaral, Riot Act, and S/T? Are the other albums going to be the same versions I already have, or new cuts/better in any way? Important to know so I can decide if I want to spend $130 vs. $350. My primary concern is getting the best sounding releases available.

  • They probably sold the empty box because they know how upset people would be that the box was only limited to 500 and they thought it wasn't worth it to read 3,000 posts about how unfair it was of 10c to limit the box to 500. Instead, they will have people complaining about how the price difference. No good deed goes unpunished.

    Already having the originals and the reissues so far, the dilemma of what to buy is crazy. Im glad this wasn't super limited because I must have spent 45 mins adding and subtracting things in my cart. I ended up buying an empty box and  4 singles (Nothing as it seems and Light Years originally never had proper sleeves and made very little difference to the postage cost, Save You and WWS were never on 7" so definitely wanted them). There's no way the LPs will not be available cheaper here in the UK. I'm well aware though I've just paid $100 for a cardboard box which is distressing but Im just going to fill it. All my reissues are official Euro pressings, does that mean I should fill the box with Euro reissues. I guess if being a PJ collector was easy it would be boring.
    Yea, usually pressings from 10C are the US pressings. So I have already made my mind up to buy the additional reissues from Europe so I will also have the Euro pressings when they are released. Will probably us AmazonUK
    You can use Amazon USA from resellers. Sometimes cheaper then Amazon UK. Bought all the Pearl Jam Euro reissue pressings from Amazon Canada resellers. Amazon UK were selling them almost 15-20 dollars more.
    Thanks, good idea.
    I use dodax.co.uk and got No Code and Yield for £14.99 each delivered in the UK so check them out. I just realised Ive got 3 copies of Lightning Bolt but all are US copies...sigh and only one EU copy of Backspacer. Do I need to buy a US copy of Backspacer to not put in my box :)

    The shipping cost of the 10 albums purchased individually makes up for the other $50 i.e. The box set is discounted as one item.

    Please keep us posted. :) I remember when they sold out pretty fast that later on they sold ALOT more in stock online.

    Does the EU LB sound better than the US, or are you just variant collectors?

  • 150 USD just for shipping the box to the UK...not acceptable

    I don't think that would be a strategy that makes sense considering that shipping costs are variable so if you order together its 17lbs as opposed to say ten separate orders of 2 lbs each -  if its $55 (or higher) above retail, I'm hoping there's some bonuses we don't know about.

    BTW only about 10 left.

    It was $40 something for the shipping for me in the UK then I added a few singles which I might still cancel if they appear on UK sites.

    Anyone got a White Backspacer to sell so I can put my black copy in the box.

    I wasn't really complaining, just shocked at the price. I'm completely surprised they sold 500.
    who willing to spend $350 on this doesn't already own at least half if not more of the collection?
    Im only missing Binaural in OP, and have reissues of them all (with the exception of the 3 just released obviously). Still, I probably would have gone for it anyway for about $225 just to do it.
    i imagine they could have sold thousands doing that and made 10 times what they're going to off this limited 500. They probably limited it to 500 not knowing if any would sell.
    even shipping considered, if you own 1 or 2 already, and I'm sure everyone interested does, it's not worth it. Are that many bad at basic math, or that many just willing to throw money at anything labeled Limited to 500, even when it clearly isn't because you can all the pets individually (for less). 
    I just can't figure out business wise why they did it, or why anyone bought it.
    what am I missing?

    No chance the band is signing 500 sets... hoping there might be some bonuses or limited colors or something that would make the pricing disparity vs buying everything separately make sense. ;)
  • Honestly surprised it took 3 hours.

    I'm excited for us to find out what (if any) surprise bonuses might be coming for those who purchased.

    You get what you see.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    That's what I think as well. Not sure why folks think there is some hidden Easter egg.

    I can't believe I just noticed that Bushleaguer has a different B-side from the original 7". Another thing I will have to pick up.
