I sure hope some band members aren't reading these grumpy posts calling their side projects worthless.
I don't think they'd take offence. The reality is, this was on the pearljam.com website, for the Pearl Jam Mystery Vinyl sale. Most people here were looking for Pearl Jam vinyl, and most people here believe that while the side projects are good, Pearl Jam's band members collectively produce something greater than the sum of their parts when you put them together. If you could say that about any of the side projects to the same degree, perhaps we'd be here talking on the Brad message boards and members of the Brad fan club instead!
Edit: didn't notice that someone LITERALLY called it "worthless shit". How disrespectful, I retract my statement.

I didn't start collecting vinyl until about 5 years ago so needless to say, my PJ collection is super small...Re-issues of Ten and Vs. and a 1st pressing of Vitalogy is all I have...I unfortunately got shut out of the sale. So for all the people who were looking to score the super rare ones out there, just remember that there were probably people like me that just started collecting, trying to just get something!! Only records that I own that are probably worth anything are my pops old Zeppelin and The Doors albums!
What a great idea to make more money off their already struggling fan-base by charging $50, for a Tres Mtns. and 2007 single. THAT DOES NOT ADD UP TO 50$ in this universe. NOW: everyone start bitching about it'd a "Mystery" box, and it's a suprise, blah blah blah, hate away
Oh look, someone else that rolled the dice and lost out so is throwing their toys out of the pram.
You knew there was a chance this could happen and still placed the order, no point crying about it now.

Exactly. The side projects were part of the list. There were only so many highly sought after items to go around - not everyone was going to get a high dollar package. I ended up with a side project I already had (Moonlander) so I traded w/ someone for one I didn't have (Acts). No hassle, no complaints.

Pretty obvious as to who is hating away...
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Nice end to a Friday here in Adelaide, AUS. My PJ RSD package was waiting for me when i got home from work and i was pretty happy with the contents. No benny hall (i could tell straight away from the size of the package) but i picked up a Red Lightning Bolt (which will complement the regular black vinyl i already have) and the 2003 "come back it's christmas" xmas single which i also have. it was a fun and i will give in another try next year.

Black RNDM and 7" No More. Not overly enthusiastic as I already won rndm and my wife got one as well (so we now have 3 rndm's). I guess the 7" no more is ok but I do have one in my ITW vinyl already...
It does feel like Canada got the shaft (several exceptions noted). At least I didn't get a side project/black lb and a recent xmas single. Those seem to be the worst packages I've been (only because you could buy that stuff on the open market for cheaper than what you paid in the mystery vinyl contest).

So you are expecting everyone to get more than they paid for? It's not like it was a secret what they were selling as a whole. You knew what you got yourself into, you lost, deal with it. This complaint of yours you could have done before the same, nothings changed, except you not getting what you want.
But you do have my sympathy, I would be diappaointed with that too
