Return of The NIN Store - Livenation

[ItsChrisRoss]

I feel they're gonna squeeze whatever blood is left in the fragile stone before we ever get a repress of ghosts. At LEAST one more release associated with that before they do some crazy $250 box set or whatever.

Seeing as the Fragile is always my go to NIN album, and knowing what it means to me, I will always throw money at anything Fragile related.

Ghosts I-IV was already a 4XLP set ... so yeah, adding the two newest albums that'd make a GHOSTS collection at least $120+ I would think.

Just got an e-mail that the 2020 NIN merch I ordered had shipped.
Bought the 2020 "cancelled" tour shirt and the 2020 wall flag.

So, anyone that pre-ordered any of these items back in May should be getting them shortly.

I am still really sad my Ghosts boxset is tiger striped

Wait wha?

Wait wha?

Due to the sleeves that the Ghost vinyl were encased in, the gases that were released from the coverings reacted with the vinyl (I forgot the exact science, but someone explain it if I am totally off. This is coming from memory) which created what looks to be tiger stripes on the vinyl. I wish that we could get copies of them. But this happened years after they were released. Although the packaging was excellent these record sleeves were not the best for storing the vinyl long term.

It was discussed on the forums a few years ago. Can't seem to find the thread. My b!

The scientific term is outgassing.

Yikes, I looked and couldn't find any pictures of this legendary outgassing. Does anyone have any pics of what it looks like?

Got my shipping notification for the 2020 flag I ordered! Can't wait to get it and confuse all my friends.

Haha, the flag is one of those novelty items that I am attracted to like a fly to garbage. I virtually have NOWHERE to put it, but it just seemed like I *NEEDED* it in my life. I'm a sucker for the more unique merch items like tote bags and wall flags.

Same here! I always more interested in the random merch items like flags, tote bags, or picks moreso than t-shirts. Even though I don't need them, they're just so interesting.

I'd like to see this too - I just checked my set and all the records seem fine. Were people keeping them directly in the vinyl sleeves rather than the felt / fabric inner sleeves?
Here's a couple pics of mine for reference.

[TheBang]

It's the fabric inner sleeves that caused the issue.

Yay! My UPS tracking finally updated. Looks like I'm getting my tour t-shirts this coming Tuesday!!

Does that effect play?

My copy has the same damage on each record. For me, fortunately, it has not affected the play negatively, but your mileage may vary based on how bad it got.

[Swykk]

So.....how about those “early July” shirts?

as far as i've experienced, no. it thankfully has not affected the sound of the records (which is immaculate). i obviously put them in different sleeves once i realized it was an issue.

Mine are due tomorrow by 9pm. Just under the half-month mark, so I suppose that qualifies as "early."

[kaydraven]

At least you all have estimated dates. Mine is still "waiting to arrive at the post office." I got my tracking number last week Considering that most of my packages now take about 2 weeks past its delivery date to get to me, I probably won't get my flag until next week.

[Magnetic]

Welp, it's past 9pm and not here...

My tracking number doesn't work. Says it's invalid and goes to a very odd tracking site I have never seen before:
https://www.dpd.com/tracking

But.... I have no reason not to trust NIN, they've never screwed me over in the past. I have full trust I'll get my items.... right? haha.....

Up here in Canada, it's been taking an average of 4 weeks to get mail internationally. Normally takes 2 weeks.
Took a full 8 weeks to get something I ordered back in early May for my girlfriend's birthday which was June 2nd. That item FINALLY came in today.
Bought another one of her gifts on May 27th that just came in yesterday as well. Mail has been incredibly backed up it seems.

Lol @ you guys. The mail has been screwed for weeks now. I ordered a shirt from CA (I’m in AZ) and it went from CA to NC to CO to AZ. Then, I shipped a record to NH. It went from AZ to CA to en route.

My advice, give it time and be patient. Things seem all screwy with the mail recently.

Interesting word choice because the mail has certainly been screwed.

That would make so much sense. I think what pisses me off the most is that half the time my tracking won't even update. I thought they lost one of my packages because it was supposed to be delivered on the 8th and even a week past that date tracking still said it was being delivered on the 8th. I now know my flag is in IL, but still no estimated delivery date. I'll get it eventually.

Guess it gives me more time to figure out where the flag is going.
