Mistakes happen. They apologized. This isn't a big deal.

Bingo, I could write a long comment which is epitomized in 9 words here. 

Everyone who got this set I would hope are delighted with what they received and not going to worry about the existence of a few more sets having been made, in all reality it just doesnt matter. Its nice to read the explanation and for it to be officially addressed, but I know for one im not remotely concerned and am thrilled to have this item on the way to me

You are the exception Paul. A relaxed, reasonable collector. Ironically though, it is the collector contingent out there that drives all the angst on getting something limited (for all the reasons people want limited ed. stuff).

Cheers Chris, that is a good point you make. I think it very much depends on why people collect. Some may collect to have an item no one else has, and for the bragging rights and so forth. Some will collect things as they perceive them to be investments. Others will collect because they enjoy it for themselves, and its as simple as that. I have never been concerned with the value of the bits I have accumulated over the years, its just irrelevant to me - its always just nice to add something new. 

The numbering of this item is really nothing of importance to me, its a nice part of the package I guess, but the scarcity was not a driving factor in my ordering it. I just thought it would sit nice next to the other boxes for the deluxe sets......LOL

Certainly not as bad as the Death Cab for Cutie Box set fiasco.

Or the NIN halo I-IV shitshow, which Concord Bicycle used as an opportunity to dump the widely known defective, unplayable pressings of Pretty Hate Machine onto fans during the hype of RSD. 

Shitty business. Its 25th anniversary Out of Time release was awful as well. I immediately returned mine and bought the EU pressing, which was much better. 

Yeah....wish I never bought that set.

What is the difference if there is 500 or 600?  How does that diminish the experience of owning this?  I really don't get it (and I am a collector).  

Maybe some are just not happy they they got exactly what was advertised?
Aside from from being opened and some not, it sounds exactly what I would have expected. Mostly not originals, but what was available (a mix of OPs for the last 2, and re-releases for the rest). Anyone interested in buying this would already have most if not all of them already. So the number is just something to complain about when they realized Boom wasn't going to deliver it.
And they still only sold 500 from all accounts, Santos confirmed that as well. Its just the ones held back were random ones and not # 501-600 like originally planned.

Wait for the re-surging interest in the original pressings.

I emailed Bicycle Music and was sent a replacement free of charge.

Just a quick question and I'm sorry if it's already been answered here:
Has anyone received a box numbered between 1/500 - 100/500?
I'm just curious if Ten Club did retain the first 100 numbered sets.
Thank you in advance!

Good call!

Any world on whether or not there have there been any white Backspacer copies or Red Lightning Bolt copies showing up in the box sets?

FWIW, here's my 7" live Unthought Known from Australia...

this looks like the person wrote 472/, not 4721?

I thought it was 474.. the line on the 4 just isn’t touching.
