    I am pretty sure 500 people will get all ten studio albums on vinyl plus a nifty cool box to put them in. I am thinking the box will be similar in quality and design to the boot box.
    What are you expecting op?  Glow in the dark vinyl?  Exclusvive ed doodles on each record?  Full band autographs on your favorite album?  Boom hand delivers your box and vinyl to your door step?
    Im saying that it makes no sense to charge more for all of them together than it is to buy them separately if you're getting the exact same thing.
    Agree. I don't get why anyone paid $350 for this. And the 500 who did I bet have most of the vinyl and only needed a couple plus the box. Who was willing to pay the $350 and didn't bother to get the other reissues this already comes with for more than the a la mode price?
    the fact this even sold out explains the ridiculous prices for second hand PJ merch.

    We have the same convos every time.  Some people collect some people don't.  Some people play some people keep sealed.  Some people say potato others say potato...lol. not as good in writing.

    You don't get it? Then you are not a collector. Fairly simple really.

    They charge what people will pay.  Here is what I imagine how a PJ meeting goes.

    Band:  "Do we need to release a new album this year to generate some extra cash?"

    Management:  "No.  Your fans will continue to buy your old music with different packaging. They are sheep.  Bah.  Bah."

    Band:  "Really?" 

    Management:  "Yes.  I saw how my 8 year old asks for the same doll over and over with different clothing.  So, I thought, let's sell 40 year olds the same vinyl with different colors.  It worked."

    PJ has made an art of getting people to buy what they already have.  Bravo!

    I am not complaining.  Just mocking.

    I was just having a conversation with a good friend the other day about how I really truly wanted Riot Act on vinyl.  (I swear-- true.  Just Friday before we took off for a concert.)  Love that album.  I get a text from him today telling me about the box set.  Since I have the two other box sets, the reissues of No Code and Yield and don't honestly have a need to own Backspacer or Lightning Bolt on vinyl, I really only needed three albums.  He told me that they had the three albums on reissue for pre-sale.  

    I'm good for reissue.  I am so incredibly excited that I am getting Riot Act, Binaural and Self-Titled.  My heart dances at the idea of a copy of Riot Act, though.  So very happy!  Thanks for the reissues, 10c!

    Strange, don't see any complaints about shipping prices here, in fact shipping is pretty reasonable for the set.

    It's hard to argue that, in general, your comments tend to favor the glass half empty view.

    No where in this thread did i complain about anything. In general yes i complain about shipping prices because they are a joke,  theres no arguing that. 99% of the people living outside of the US agree.

    1. The sales page for the box set actually states: "Sorry, we are currently out of stock". It does not say it is "sold out".
    2. Just curious for people who did buy this: where are you going to put new Pearl Jam albums when they are eventually recorded and    
       released? The box only holds 10 albums.
       I guess you should also buy a second empty box to put those in, unless you're hoping that Pearl Jam are done releasing new music. LOL
