Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Yeah, without the code I wouldn't likely have bit, despite having been excited for the impulse! set for what feels like forever, but with the code it felt like an opportunity to fulfill that old dream.

As for Miles, the pretty much unanimous rave reviews from folks who had already picked it up, and my not having the vast majority of its contents made that decision for me.

I'd love to have gone for the Cadet box too, but I already ordered basically one too many!

I went for the Vanguard too. But only after I’d worked out they’d be shipping with my regular sub so I’d not have to pay extra customs or delivery charges. For £100 I’ve no regrets. £150 I’d have been out.

I love what they did with the Vanguard set - I think it's a great selection, and I do love the label, but I know myself well enough to be honest that I just wouldn't spin it very much. Other than Buffy, and there are much cheaper ways for me to upgrade my existing copy (which does very much need upgrading!)

After getting burned again after seeing Tito Puente come up for about $10-15CAD less in locals, I've finally learned my lesson.

1) I will not buy store titles unless heavily discounted, or it's guaranteed that it's truly an "exclusive", not a "color exclusive".
2) I will not buy an anthology unless it's at least 30% off (an existing rule).

Discount codes are going to be the only way I buy something in the store going forward, if they stop giving them out, then I stop buying.

95% of the VMP store exclusives are just color variants. They do occasionally have an awesome true exclusive and those are really the only ones worth grabbing IMO

The Podcast was really good. I remember thinking that the guy that presented them was a bit of a joke on the early series I started playing but the discussion on the Vanguard was really good. I mean, the kid says ’like’ and ‘you know‘ a ridiculous amount but thats the only issue I had. Definitely going to work through the Cadet series when the box comes.
