Plus you get a red AFD cassette and a whiskey glass within each bundle. Looks like mine are arriving Monday. The price is actually pretty reasonable. I’m honestly surprised this wasn’t a Record Store Day exclusive. Although they probably would make more $ selling direct to fan. By July they will probably start tearing the crosses off of the box and start selling those. That will be the final coffin I am happy for all you guys who have been patient and made a good deal with the box after the priced dropped or with the current bundles. I have been such an idiot to invest my hard earned money on the box on day one. Well, shit happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that I'm hoping for is that something good comes out of this and the UYI set (assuming one happens) is way more fairly priced to begin with. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least records are big and cool looking. Cassettes sound like shit, and look like shit. They're nothing "cool" or "chic" about them. The artwork is also tiny and cropped. God, I can't believe there's anyone out there that thinks cassettes are cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, I can't believe there's anyone out there that thinks cassettes are cool. Cassettes have some sort of resurgence happening and I just don't understand it. A couple of years back, people were claiming that cassettes would have a comeback as big as vinyl... Lol no. The AFD cassette is just another example of GNR being a day late and a dollar short, so now they have to literally give it away. 22 minutes ago, dontdamnmeuyi2015 said: They were way better than those horrible 8 track cassettes.

Another cool thing about them is the time they were prominent is a time that space age design was really popular, so there are some really cool 8 track players, like the weltron 2001, the panasonic "TNT" plunger, etc.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been something like 1,987 of them made, and it needed live concert footage. Ah, duck it, you’re correct. What a shit product.

nycgunner Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The Maxfield stuff is up. Some jackets, shirts, pins and hats. The one Axl skull shirt is sort of cool but doesn’t say GNR anywhere. All a pass for me. Was hoping for that LA Dodgers AFD shirt. Separately, there Is now a limited set of lithos of live shots + 3 LA 2017 Buhler lithos (zoomed into the faces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's just 50 in the US, but with taxes and shipping it costs me a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
