I emailed them asking why my package hadn't shipped yet. A few days later, on tbe 18th, when you are all saying you got ypur update suddenly, they replied to my email acting as though I should have had it and to check my junk folder... but that was preceded by the shipping notification. It came maybe 40 minutes before their reply. So it was shipped after the domestic ones. I'm pretty sure someone messed up, like forgot to ship the international packages first, and then quickly got it done after seeing my email, and then tried to cover their tracks by pretending the shipping notifications went out a long time ago.and must be lost in junk folders, lol. Not very good at hiding mistakes down there!

Received Vault#30 in Birmingham, AL last Thursday . Last name starts w/ a 'B'.
How is it? Is it a big box like Roo or the Acoustic, or a more simpler one like the PJ?
It's a bigger box like the Roo and Acoustic were. Very well packaged in a modified TMR shipping box
I'm going to like the box too much and decide to keep it aren't I. If it was just pieces then I have no problem splitting but this sounds like a set. Any spoiler pics?

I'm not sure how to upload pics on here ...and you may enjoy not knowing . If you wanna see a pic...the box is pictured on the original TMR listing which advertised Vault #30....it's the yellow one w/ a TMR globe logo in the center; the graphics that wrap around middle border are actually a little smaller than the one shown there.
Vault 30 arrived in the UK, without listening I would say nice box, nice LPs, really nice quality. Then you get to the 7 inch which I wanted as a White Stripes completist and I would say that the sleeve is really poor quality (really thin) like you couldn't keep the record in it because it would just tear right through. As for the 7" itself, it is ridiculously thin and mine already looks warped. How are other people's singles.

The 7" sleeves are supposed to be thin: http://thirdmanstore.com/thevault/home/show/sneak-peek-at-the-vault-30-items From Third Man: 7” record sleeve: "We wanted to carry over the design from the LP with a nod to traditional printed 45 paper sleeves (examples shown below). The paper is thinner than usual, to convey that feel. In this case we went with 80# French Paper White Parchtone Text. The design is meant to convey a double single, with both sides being full covers and the colors reflecting the artist on each side."
Mine record is fine, the real question is what color did you get? From the original news release, they were supposed to have red and blue streaks, but a manufacturing error caused them to press some with blue only and some with red only.... so instead of correcting it, they just changed their release information and said there are now 2 colors you could get.
Hmm... Sounds like a cover up regarding the quality of the sleeves. Did it say that originally? A nod to traditional 45s...Not really buying that. Their usual company sleeve is good quality. As for the vinyl, it doesn't bother me about the colours. Think mine just has pinkish red stripes but it is so close to being a flexi it's unreal and definitely not flat. I don't mind things not being 180g etc but it's just really cheap.
Arrived in CA this morning. Package looks awesome. This is the first Vault of my year subscription that was included in that Music City Animal Advocates online auction. My single has red streaks.
I'm aware that the actual limited edition book listing says that it's a signed and numbered book plate, but I found this on the listing for the regular edition. It would definitely lead me to believe I was getting an actual signed book, and I'd be a little disappointed had I bought one as well.
"Please note that a very Limited Edition of Total Chaos will be available in early December. The Limited Edition will be signed by Iggy Pop, include a 7” of Iggy Pop’s pre-Stooges group The Prime Movers, plus three posters. Price will be $250. This item can not be pre-ordered. We will be announcing the Limited Edition to Vault members first."

Got vault 30 today, pretty sweet, they do amazing work.
Yes, this one is a very nice package. I love when they put everything in a nice box. I haven't spun any of it yet though - does it sound as good as it looks?

He played the Blue room and then opened for Jack when he played Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Not real happy but it does state that...
FYI Henry Rollins sells his books signed below face at his tour. Support him if you can.
