Jay 37,364 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well, if you pre-order on Amazon, you ultimately only pay the price they offer it at on release day, so there's really no penalty for pre-ordering now (unless they don't drop the price until after release day ) bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Easy. Economics is a semi-science that makes who knows how accurate predictions based on nonfactual, nonrealistic models.

Good work, Bilbo. Amazon's been slipping lately, if you ask me. I ordered a bunch of piano sheet music books recently, and at least 25% of them were damaged. Complaints are on their way! Until a few years ago I rarely had any troubles with their packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It probably has something to do with the fact that they treat their staff like slave labour. Nick1Ø66 and Jurassic Shark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I’ve read, Apple’s (and FoxConn’s) aren’t much better. And in some ways, worse. From that POV, your avatar might as well be a Confederate flag! Both Apple and Amazon deliver excellent products, however (Amazon's product in this case being customer service). The price? Your soul. Sent from my iPhone 8.

The Chinese companies that they (and most smartphone manufacturers use) are borderline inhumane and it is something I would like addressed.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I like buying some vinyl releases, but these are ridiculous. Not at all the ideal way to enjoy these scores. For soundtracks I'm usually only interested in albums that were originally released on vinyl, so pre-late-80s soundtracks basically. I mostly only own pop/rock records though.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Is this a pricing mistake? Amazon has the ROTK vinyl set listed for $135.

Well listening is certainly part of it (like I said, it just isn’t ideal for a set like this), but the appeal of the large cover art, large booklet, map, and overall set is definitely worth the purchase for some.

And I know some people here were waiting for the price to drop! @Jurassic Shark buddy, did you get in on the CR action in time? Nick, ol' chap, I haven't needed to decide yet, as all the CD boxes are still available. Because my CD collection already takes up too much space, I have a policy of not buying stuff I know I'm not going to listen no. I listened to the Fellowship OST a lot when the film came out, so I might get that. The other OSTs never really grabbed me. I checked out at least some of the CRs in their first release, but can't really remember much from them. A good thing about this rerelease is that all three CRs are finally available on Spotify, making them easy to check out whenever you like. What about you, Nick? Did you get all of them the first time around? Btw, wasn't the price of each CR box considerably lower for the first release, or do I misremember?

Btw, wasn't the price of each CR box considerably lower for the first release, or do I misremember? I pre-ordered all of these from Amazon when they were originally released, and checking my order history, for Fellowship, Towers and Return I paid (USD) 47.96, 60.99 and 59.99 respectively. Whether the price went down after that, I cannot say. Of course, the price eventually went up, significantly so. I considered selling all of them for confiscatory prices on eBay, but could not part with them. They're three of the few titles that survived my great CD purge of 2012.

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 From my Amazon history, I only got Fellowship from there and I paid £32.99. No idea where I got the other two but they must've been in the £40s. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
