    Seriously. I remember my vault #3 vinyl flew over my house TWICE before it landed at my doorstep.

    I know, those were fun times haha I do like that you can track it though. It truly sucks for international folks that they can't. And then they possibly have to go to customs and pick their album up there. And then pay... When i was still living in Germany, there was a time where I went to the customs office almost every week. It was quite the hassle. Then we sat there and I showed my forum emails from trades and stuff to prove what I paid for it, so I wouldn't get overcharged.

    Canada here, it'll be cool to see what the U.S. Gets ahead of us international fans. Other than the Christmas singles, I didn't collect PJ on vinyl until Backspacer. Even Ukulele songs I bought on CD for the amazing packaging/book. I still have my old newsletter 24 with Riot Act on vinyl for $12, always played with the idea of sending it in but couldn't stand cutting it up. Avocado had a bonus CD with it if you bought it through 10c and Benny I bought on CD as well.
    So there's a pretty good period of time with no vinyl available for me anymore, but that I have a chance at something special has me thinking about it everyday! Fun!

    You are right! I'm looking forward to go to customs and see what I got^^ Maybe I'll scream like a child if I see a Benny lol
    I'm curious why they listed only 5-10 Vs. reissues. Maybe they are signed by the band... Anticipation is a great thing!

    I've been told by 10c that the packages are labelled at random which would suggest some of them have different weights?

    I hope Ed and the boys signed my Backspacer before they sent it off

    As far as a random 5-10 or 60-80 or whatever? Here's my guess:

    Well, they probably have 200,000 of a certain annual single pressed. Members get theirs and some go to band friends and family. Remaining ones (maybe 2500) stay in the warehouse for situations where one gets lost in the mail or damaged upon arrival, etc.

    So maybe a couple years later, they're down to 2,000 of that annual single. They'll put it on the shop and eventually go down to 100 of the singles.

    Enter the mystery vinyl sale. They'll say 50-60 of these are going out and keep the remaining 40-50 if some get lost in the mail or damaged upon arrival.

    Hello Benny, I'm brad I have rndm mystery sale. I sit in my tres mtns eating avocado patting my ten legged dog. Wondering what vinyl will be delivered to those who made it thru. What a mad season this competition was it was like a lightning bolt went of in a coke bottle. When the white screen of death it appeared it made my backspacer turn white. The place went into the wild while others just went on in life. The riot act continues thru the rear view mirror I gaze say to my self thank god I'm alive. Good luck to those who were fortunate sons and Daughters who made it thru. Keep on rockin in the free world. It's the music we cherish so kick out the jams. Peace

    nice little story
    im also at 2.2 lbs.

    2.2 lbs. Interesting. Well I guess if someone has a different weight then he/she may be able to celebrate early. I would like a Benny or Lost Dogs as that's all I need to complete my collection. Really I am just glad to have gotten in on this.

    I like that so far, no other weight has really been reported. That makes me really feel like the average weight for bulk shippings might be a true theory. Has anybody's status changed on the tracking? Mine hasn't, but I hope there will be something new tomorrow.
    I just saw three male cardinals in my backyard, I take this as a good sign. So far I thought there was only one couple :smiley:

    Hasn't it already been explained why everyone, including myself, has 2.2 lbs.? Also, don't forget that you can sign up for email or texts that alert you when anything happens with your package.

    Looks like we may have a repeat of the Vault #4 shipping process...
    stuck at the "Label Created" stage!!

    I think it was almost 2 weeks after the label was printed...
    that there was finally some movement of the package.

    Anyone show any progress in their tracking??

    Just did my "routine morning check" :lol::blush: but nothing changed so far. I don't mind if it takes a little longer. But it is more fun to watch it when it actually moves. It will happen. Have a great Wednesday!
