    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 :)

    Personally I would of been more ok with getting less than desirable mystery vinyl had it been more random. Looking at the sheet I knew it was a chance. Unfortunately it seems my area (and my country) seemed to get a lot of the undesirable vinyl while the good stuff went to other places (a handful of avacado's, the odd studio LP, but a whole lot more side projects/xmas singles). No coloured pj20 vinyls seemed to have made it outside the USA etc. I know in the long the exact same amount of fans get the same stuff, but it does bug me a bit inside knowing the way they ran it made it next to impossible for me to get anything decent. I mentioned it in previous post, but it feels a bit like a rigged lottery. Some peoples odds were very high simply because of where they lived where other peoples were really low because of where they lived. That's the 10c though.... Sometimes they're awesome. Sometimes they find new and unique ways to disappoint us :( If you were in Canada, the way it turned out you might of had a 10 or 20 percent change of landing something good. Might not have ponied up so much cash if I knew that was the case going in.

    Forgot to post yesterday on this thread: in Edmonton, RNDM black and 2000 xmas single.

    It was fun, and I don't have RNDM, would do it again.

    To all the disappointed Canada folks... Maybe they have a tour for you in store that will ease the pain of not getting desired vinyl boxes :)
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    Geeez, I know of one non RNDM in Vic with about 7-8 reports now. Just ridiculous. Love the LP and already own it but the complete lack of shuffling the deck just infuriates me.

    If there is one gripe I can get behind, it's this one. Legitimate complaint, for sure.

    Yup... it seems if you lived in Victoria (or pretty much most of Canada) you only had a 10 to 15% chance of scoring something decent. Since we got all the crap we're seeing every else get much better packages. I don't know how but the 10c always seems find new and frustrating ways to may the fan experience much worse than it should be.

    Don't renew your membership.
    This should solve your frustration.

    Meh,
    I gotta say I'm glad i got something I didn't have before ( RNDM, Crown of Thorns...)
    and can't say I'm not disappointed about missing out on OOP studio releases.
    Having said that, I definitely wouldn't characterize the side projects or more recent holiday singles as "crap". Even if you already owned all the "Lesser" wanted albums, there was a chance you could've gotten lucky. Even if that chance was less than others, its a "chance". More than there was without a Mystery Vinyl Sale.
    That's all.

    But how would this happen? Do 10C sort orders by zip code before expediting them? Sounds strange.
