I'm positive they'll move a few more units before the promo code expires, but I feel like there'll be a few more they're going to put up for swaps soon. Let's not pretend it's selling like hotcakes.
Again, great box but I wouldn't pay the full price for it.

I was happy enough to swap for this box and it was worth it. Wouldn't have paid the full price and not even with the discount code. Cadet box though...

with the holiday40 code it's 138$, which IMO is well worth it.

Agreed. Got it last year using a promo code and even with duties it was worth it.
However, I had forgot it was already in swaps as pointed out above and that's kind of a kick in the groin, and makes it even more strange they're pushing it as being on the verge of selling out for that cost. Seems like if you really want it you can try and wait it out and hope you get lucky.

I dunno...I guess I'm really confused by the strategy here, and it makes almost no sense to buy an anthology at full price, ever.
$138 is good value for Vanguard, but VMP has already set the value at best the cost of a US add on track, at worst an international one month sub. And now they're trying to push remaining stock at $138. They devalued it almost completely in swaps, and are now trying to push it at a higher price. Why would I not gamble on it being in swaps again if I hadn't bought it already over two years using discount codes?
I really feel bad for anyone that bought Memphis at full price.

I wish they could pick different albums and do a second story of blue note. It could be so much better than this. And with how good the kg cuts have been and the regular sale prices, this one is much harder to stomach at the price than it was when it first came out

I think this set is actually pretty great. Montara and Ambrose are killer records. The Shorter is awesome too but I know that has a TP now.
VMP didn’t get a blank check of which albums to do…BN gave them a list of 12 available titles or something like that. I’m kinda surprised BN is even letting them repress it at this point.

But will they send it in 3 orders with gentleman’s wrapping so you cannot see which album is which. And then send the booklet folded in half a stuffed in an envelope

I remember missing out on the first Box and being pretty gutted.
Whats the price looking like for this 2nd pressing do we thing?
Im at the point now where im not sure if I will go for it. I have an OG Schizophrenia and the Elemental Montara (I cant believe how much it sells for now!) which both sound great. I've been wanting to upgrade my below average 80's DMM pressing of Natural Soul though and the other all seem to be great titles. Hmmmmm.

they haven't said but most of the recent in-demand (miles, impulse, waylon, willie) boxes have been around the 350/400 price point

I'll be the one to say it. I don't like when things advertised as limited and exclusive get put out again.

Didn't they change up the Dead box just enough so that the first run is definitely different than the 2nd (packaging wise at least)? I get it, it definitely sucks thinking you have something limited and rare, only for them to repress it, but if there's at least a differentiator between 1st and 2nd editions that would soften the blow somewhat.
EDIT: It was Zamrock I was thinking of.

I'm not saying the set isn't filled with good picks and I know their options were limited. It's just that when you take out the Shorter being available cheaper, the cost per album in this is ridiculous and I'm sure BN is going to eventually put out the others and they'll sound just as good for a lot less. And personally there are other titles I'd rather see for the Story of BN, despite the fact they wouldn't get permission. One can wish
