I wonder how much of this "limited" vinyl these guys have lying around the whse. Its cool that we have the opportunity to get some pretty cool vinyl but it's sad that most are going to spend $50 on a Backspacer LP and a fan club single they already own.

I wish they would just reissue the limited stuff.
for the 10C this is a good way to empty the whse of the shit they know won't sell.

and I'm sure more of the same "limited" stuff will be found the next time they clean out the headquarters.

I seriously doubt they would put together a package that they are selling for less than $50 in the shop. I'm confident that 10C knows how not to completely rip us off in this deal.

I can't help but think it's going to be pretty random and folk need to go into this with their eyes open and know there is a chance to 'lose' .... Not all packages are gonna be worth $50 ... But there in lies the gamble.

I don't for a minute think that could be considered ripping us off

Love it. But can't they let everyone who wants a shot pre-pay or something almost like tix. Then on the 18th we find out if we "won". Non-winners get money refunded. Easier then getting my face ripped off for an hour

I actually like this idea. Lottery selection of sorts. Setup definitely favors the east coast for RSD (West coast RSD fans will most likely be in line or in stores) and people who don't work weekends.

That being said I think its awesome they are doing this. Maybe i'll luck out at work and be able to get through, but have restricted internet access and phones aren't permitted during work hours.

Fortunately my RSD is opening @ 8am, so if I walk into work @ 9am with the White Stripes GBMS I'll be content, no matter what happens later in the day.

Sending us a black Backspacer ($15 on this site) and a 2011 holiday single ($10 on this site) together for $50? I would definitely consider that ripping us off, which is why I don't think they'd do something like that.
It's not THAT many items. I'm sure they'll probably take the time to make sure this kind of scenario doesn't happen.

I finally got the newsletter via email just now at 5:15PM ET today. I wonder why mine took so long to get to me? A friend of mine got his 4 hours ago. It's not a big deal with this newsletter, but if they would have had some new merch that would sell out quickly I would have been screwed.

This is great! In.

PJ_Soul , I'm sure you're probably right but we don't know for sure. Anyways, I will probably do this and take the gamble instead of spending $50ish dollars at my local store on RSD, likely on something I would never listen to anyways.

Will you trade your Beneroya for my black Lightning Bolt and Fixer 7" if that happens?

Lol, seriously? Why do people continually give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm not saying they will do that, but why wouldn't they? They're in the business of making money and made no promises that what you get is going to be worth $50. Call me a skeptic, but I can already see the forum when people start receiving these. You really think there will be no bitching and everyone will get a box that's "fair?" Lol. Let's hope, but it's a crapshoot, that's what makes it fun.

I'm wondering if they look through people's order history and throw out members who have already purchased some or received some of these items. Like, if people who got a Benny in the original sale, will they be excluded from winning one?

lol that would take up so much manpower I highly doubt it. Addiotional Note: The order history only goes back to when they updated the website. I can't see any of my olders prior to the website upgrade. I imagine it's not easy to reconcile with that database anymore.

It's pretty easy to reconcile if the fans take it upon themselves to start a thread listing which Benny numbers went to which 10C member. lol

This is great, I hope I can get one on the 18th.
I'll probably get Backspacer and MLB 7" but it's worth a shot!

I'm not getting all the complaints about getting something worth less than $50. First of all, if you get of the limited slots, it will be in itself a miracle. Second, it is called a "Mystery" sale for a reason.

Yes, but it's not called a random mystery box. I don't think "Mystery" = "blatantly raw deal". It just means we don't know exactly what we're going to get.
I just figure 10C is more considerate than to put two items that are available in the store for $25 together in these packages. I could be wrong. And I'm not complaining. I just give them more credit than that.

When they give you the price and the inventory list 8 days in advance, there is no such thing as a rip off.

I just go onto the website at 9:58am PST on the 10th of each month and don't even check my email.... Much more reliable and predictable! No need to rely on the email hitting your inbox.

Excellent words of advice here. I don't even bother with the newsletter.

PJ_Soul

I humbly disagree, lol.
I think they'll put a little thought into these.

RobbyD462

I'll be in a RSD line on my phone!
Great ideas 10C!

rhianon.d

Can international punters have a crack at the purchase? Can't see anything anywhere about US only?

I have spent more than 50 bucks on crazier things, mainly, hookers and blow.

I agree with you. All the vinyl will be laid out and people will just start putting them into boxes. Much the same way the mystery boxes were done. Some people had really cool boxes others not so much. If they wanted to make sure you got at least $50 in value they would have stated it. Its pure random draw and I can't wait for a shot. $50 for a shot at a benny set or a PJ20 colored set is more than worth it.

Release EV

Ok, I think I just crapped in my pants. I have not missed waking up through the middle of the night onthe 10th of the month since 1983. But I did last night. I see the dreaded headline when I opening the email, , "Mystery Vinyl Package" and my heart skips a beat. Then I see the 18th of April. Whoo hoo.

judyblueyes

Thanks Santos. Awesome opportunity for 10C members. I remember the excitement of mystery box (Ronald McDonald & Columbus 2010 which is framed and hanging in my bar ) & the mystery poster box (St. Paul 2006), glad we went to the show in 2014. No matter what, it's great fun. Good luck to all and enjoy!

Dead Man Walking

I love this idea. And what's even more impressive is that I got to the third page of this thread before i read a negative comment. (new record?)

I'll be looking forward to this opportunity. "Score" or not, there are a lot of items on that list I don't currently have so they'll still find a welcome place in my collection. Bring it on and good luck to those who are trying.

Well, this is exciting!

I suspect that this will result in some trading so hopefully everyone wins....

The more I think about this, the more I like it. The price is awesome and everybody is so excited. Well done, TC!

I'm down with that.

RoleModelsinBlood31

Super excited about this. I know mine will have a Christmas single and a side project lp but the shot at a Benny or rvm for 50 bones is awesome and worth it. Besides the lost dogs forum is going to be insane afterwards!

I couldn't say it any better. I'd kill for a Benny or a colored pj20, etc. but the chance, for the price, is worth it. Thanks, 10c, for the opportunity.
