I guess not the question, but both are way overpriced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 would love to know how many of these they sold, no chance in hell I was buying it at $1,000, however when it was "marked down" to $699 I immediately jumped on it, got it, looked at the contents once and it has essentially been sitting in that big heavy box in my den for the last 8 months, I am still guessing there are about 4-5,000 of these things sitting around a warehouse somewhere, wouldn't surprise me in the next year or so you see them get desperate to get rid of them and they are going to be selling for about $199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even say that your guess of 4-5000 is low. I bet there are more like 7-8000 of these things sitting around unsold between all the vendors. I'll be VERY surprised if it doesn't hit that $199 mark before it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were pretty much correct on the pricing going down when the box first came out. So I believe you on the $199. Seems to cheap though. lol. But if it goes there, I'll bite! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockphantom Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I have discovered that the Locked and Loaded box is available at all of the traditional outlets such as Amazon, ImportCDs, and eBay. Unfortunately, the price is still around $500 at all of these outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only way any site outside of GN'Rs site is going to move any is when GNRs site ends up getting rid of all their stock for real cheap. As I mentioned in the thread previously, I really think this is going to get down to $199 before all is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in the thread previously, I really think this is going to get down to $199 before all is said and done. Thanks for the clarification, Russ. I am holding out for $199. That's the price point that works for me. I wouldn't be surprised if the Locked and Loaded set is offered at $199 from all sellers during Black Friday 2019. As we know, once the interest in a product has worn off, it's very hard to move it. Especially, something as overpriced as the LaL box. Ideally, the best way to buy the box would be to wait until it is $199 with free shipping on eBay. eBay offers 15% off coupons at the end of each quarter; March, June, September, December. An extra 15% off would knock the set down to $170 plus tax which would be around $15. Imagine getting the Locked and Loaded box for $185, that would be the GNR bargain of the century.

The Locked and Loaded box for $399 or 1 GNR 2019 ticket for $300? For sure the ticket! Especially considering you can access all the actual music on that box set via Spotify - I know it isn't the same as vinyl but I feel like when it comes to the box set you are paying for the physicality of having a collectors item - with the concert ticket that is that same band (well most of that same band lol) playing right in front of you Edited June 20, 2019 by WhazUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazer Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Whats interesting though is that on the official merch site for europe and uk the price is 735€ and saying its sold out. Wtf thats weird 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) The $399 price is back at the GN’R store if anyone is looking to buy one. Edited July 4, 2019 by Tourettes2400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep it in the box, because I'm afraid if I display it, the faux leather will crack and peel from the humidity in my apartment. $999 is too much of an investment to risk having the elements cause damage to it. If it gets down to $199-299, I will almost certainly pick up another one or two, probably as Christmas gifts for my two oldest boys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I just got the super deluxe. $40 is a solid price. I think that completed the L&L box Russ gave me aside from the vinyl! Looks like it fones with everything else which means... I'm getting the temporary tattoos! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHelgo Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Based on how this thing rolled out and sold over the past year, they better really examine the value proposition of any UYI box set. I bit at $499, but also snagged a Super Deluxe for a much higher price than it is now. There is absolutely NO WAY I am buying anything day 1 for UYI box set, and probably not day 180 or 365 either. This AFD box set sales process has been a trainwreck of epic proportions. Edited July 5, 2019 by TheHelgo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to tag you in this post when I saw the $40 price for the SDE. I gave the SDE to a buddy at some point after I got the L&L Set so yeah, the $40 SDE should damn near complete your L&L Set.
