Correct, that’s what the UMG rep told me at the AFD release party in Amsterdam. And he really seemed to know about the talks about the golden opportunity. He also told me he went to the record label presentation of the box set in LA, weeks before it was announced. But... a week later, I happened to talk a bit to Fernando and he claimed that in fact the golden opportunity was indeed still in one of the box sets. And he said only about 5 people knew about the hidden tape before it was found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, I got # 3,644 of 10,000. No fuckin' way there were 3,643 orders place before mine, I'll bet there weren't even 500. By comparison, I got #165 of 1,987 on the Appetite 3D vinyl sold at knucklebonz.com. It's wicked cool, to boot.

Ok, so they are selling. Maybe not as fast as everyone involved was expecting, but if the set was truly limited to 10,000 units, then it should be sold out before the end of the year. Personally, with all the hoopla surrounding it, I thought all 10,000 would have been pre-ordered by mid June, which is why I was quick to stake my claim to one as soon as it was made available on the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHook Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The golden tickets should have been in the Super Deluxe Edition , and the reward would be the Locked N Loaded set. I consider the LnL box sets price point aimed at people born with silver spoons, why they need a golden ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at having one of the Locked N' Loaded sets as something I earned the right to purchase.

People shouldn't judge this kind of thing. I'm sure there are people who are mocking the L&L buyers and calling them 'rich people who don't know what to do with their money' while spending their own money on cigarettes or the latest iPhone or game console or whatever. To each their own. It's your money, spend it as you see fit. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester 524 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I heard that if you get the golden ticket slash will actually break into your house in the middle of the night and leaves his mountain lion, Curtis, in your living room as your prize for when you wake up. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surforia Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 For shits and giggles, I just tried adding 10,000 LnL editions into my cart on the site, and it only let me add 398. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTV88 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Any one else still loving their L&L vinyls? This set actually got me playing old stuff again. I have all of my parents LPs from the late 60s / early 70s, and am having a blast listening to them! Everything from The Beatles & Beach Boys to Robert Flack, Kiss, etc. And then there's my wife early 80s collection: Metallica, Iron Maiden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
