    ^^^ Because a month wasn't that long when it was an overpriced-to-begin-with box set of the THE movie of the band. People thought it'd be for sale forever... or at least through Christmas and into next year! I was almost gonna ask for it for Christmas and then got one of the very last DVD copies the day it sold out.

    Yeah, what you say is right, I also remember people saying they were on a tight budget, or living on student loans, the band was touring canada and fans saved money for that too. I know I didn't sell out overnight, since I bought mine on the fourth day, my questions were to imply that it was sold very fast, I never said you were wrong, I don't think that they lasted 4 weeks or a full month, but I don't know, it could have been around 20 days more or less, and the DVD a bit longer...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    Funny how one of PJ's influences was Fugazi...

    Merchandise Lyrics:
    When we have nothing left to give
    There will be no reason for us to live
    But when we have nothing left to lose
    You will have nothing left to use
    We owe you nothing you have no control
    Merchandise keeps us in line
    Common sense says it's by design
    What could a businessman ever want more
    Than to have us sucking in his store
    We owe you nothing
    You have no control
    You are not what you own

    The biggest joke of all is... most of the 10c members haven't received the LB vinyl and almost a month later they decided released this sevens boxset shit...

    Just for some perspective: As you typed the rest of this, someone's town, family, and access to food and water was just obliterated by a typhoon.

    "You are not what you own." I like that! Just gave Fugazi my first listen. Interesting.

    Absolutely! :clap::clap: Just had the the time to read through the thread (along with some other threads on the same subject). A box, with vinyl records in it, is what people are all riled up about? :roll:

    The email from 10 club has been arriving like clockwork on the 10th of each month.

    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=223919&start=15

    For 9 months now emails have been on the 10th, even on the weekends and they have been an indicator of new or exclusive merch on sale NOW. Remember the Wrigley posters, announced on the 10th and sold simultaneously. For those who missed and feel shafted, it was all right there in front of you. I'll bet more people check this place and their emails on December 10th!

    ^ THIS

    Right now in order to avoid future bitching, I recommend :

    1. Take your cell phone, computer, old school calendar, or whatever.
    2. Make a recurring calendar event that alerts you on the 10th of each month.
    3. Once the day comes, stay alert and check your emails often
    4. Score

    It's not freaking rocket science, this time everyone had about 2-3 hours to get their orders in. That's plenty of time.

    Yeah, thats all good and fine as long as you don't have to be driving in a no service area when the damn thing goes on sale... Or any myriad of responsibilities that can, god forbid, force attention away from Pearl Jam for more than 3 hours. So if you really want to play the game for this type of shit at non-insane after market prices you have to clear every 10th of the month, just in case? I call bullshit. It's hard enough being a collector and trying to acquire older vinyl pieces... Hard love.

    It's a game.

    Not everything that people get passionate about needs to stack up to real world problems for validation.
    It's called life and there are many shades.

    i gotta say this. anybody crying about not be allowed to spend $60 for a stack of plastic and cardboard is truly a little baby.

    Some predictions here...

    There are maybe 500 of these things, maybe. They sold out quicker than the "rare" Shadow 10" and that was sold in 2 different places.

    No way they are making anymore no matter what petitions are started. There's 37 pages to re-issue the Bennyroya, countless other pages for re-issuing the other albums, baseball cards, etc.

    These will be colored.

    Next month's contest these will be the give away.

    Complete speculation on my part, but it's fun to discuss...

    I'm sure half the people complaining they missed out we're gloating in other threads that they scored a Wrigley poster, or a backpack, or some other sought after item. You win some and you lose some. This is not the end of the world.
