Back in the early 2000s they toured like crazy. Saw them like 5 times over the course of like 2 years. The last show of theirs I ever went to they had really started to blow up and did not play Crushing Belial. I never went to another show lol.
Nope. It’s not for me but I do see why some people would. I’ve got some that are in really beautiful shape and I’m just no good about being paranoid about any of them. If the kids or I want to play them I’m still going to whip them out. They’re in box protectors; that’s good enough right?
I’m probably actually even more careful with my copies that are a little more beat up lol …must…not…lose…the flaps.
The last few I went to
Within Temptation
Iron Maiden
Gaslight Anthem
Zeal & Ardor
Blue Oyster Cult
Titus Andronicus
Amon Amarth/Carcass/Obituary/Cattle Decapitation
Having Iron Maiden and Amon Amarth so close together really highlighted that AA has become melodic deathmetal Iron Maiden. Unfortunately did not get pics of Johan whacking the giant foam Jormungandr with a giant foam hammer.
Agree. All the variant and print run stuff is just clutter to me. If it were to start out hidden and could be like dropped down that would be great. I would imagine this is the case for the majority of collectors.
“Tonight tonight” would’ve beaten most other competitors for me. I recently failed miserably at trying to convince anyone to go to the Toto concert with me
It looks like he lured several Asian women into his basement to play “Donkey Kong” shaved all of their body hair and crafted it into a gigantic helmet for himself.
What’s wrong with that guy‘s hair?
I haven’t even sort of followed any of this and don’t understand why these people are allowed to tie up the court system for a donkey Kong score. I’m hoping the prosecution is seeking the death penalty for all involved
Oh yeah. Lol that’s where it got kicked up a notch. PM’d me mad about the eye roll. Yadda yadda something about wanting a nes variant list and whining when one wasn’t provided to him. Got big mad at me. It spilled back over into the thread from there I believe.
I think he went after @Code Monkeytoo at one point. I can’t even remember what started it in the first place exactly. I think he posted some preachy load and I reacted and it was like immediately 0-60.
I collect very few imports and as such when I go out of my way to do so I want the spine card with it if that came with it. I can see it being less important if you have volume but when you’re only interested in a handful of titles I want all the bits.
I don’t know that many here don’t hold Dain culpable for what happened. Either way it doesn’t matter anymore. VGS is just better. A mature collecting community for mature collectors .
I did but not for the reasons you’d think. We get along pretty well and I think his shit is usually pretty entertaining. But, I feel like he deserves proper recognition for his efforts and achievements in the field.
