i don't even honestly care how much they wanna charge for it, i get that
ltd runs like that are expensive and all
look, you've seen how everytime they release a ltd run and i miss out on
it, i basically become completely agitated and mentally anguished for days,
now imagine how many times they've put me through this :)
what's killing me here is :
1. not having a complete set of brainwaltzera vinyls (Bewplum! Alepoch!)
2. having to wait longer to get the eventual non-ltd edition and probably
listen to a youtube stream of it instead for a month (though, to be fair,
often it's taken a LOT longer... i waited for a long time to finally own a
marzipan ep)
3. just in a general existential sense, there's something that is just
gimmicky and annoying about the whole thing
