My package from RUDE cleared customs and is now stateside, so, I guess I dodged that bullet (this time.)
That being said, I've now individually pre-ordered all three on Amazon for under $100 shipped so, thanks for the nudge!
I mostly opted for it bc I felt like the variant matched the snake on the cover best, but I was skeptical it would turn out anywhere near as cool as the mockup pics, very glad I was proven wrong and that it was even cooler. I know another user said they felt it wasn’t worth the upcharge, and I definitely understand why they’d feel that way, but personally I am glad I opted for it. the packaging is nice, I love the gatefold, the booklet is a nice thick quality material, and the vinyl colorway speaks for itself I think.
Someone on Discogs convinced me to sell some Dashboard and Saves the Day, so now I’m willing to sell the rest of each discography. Add $6 for media mail. Let me know. Thanks.
