jengd Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Agreed, the booklet is great. I would like the bigger format that goes with vinyl but never mind, it’s got really great content as you say, some issues I hadn’t read about before. Someone asked about scans but it’s quite chunky, I don’t think it will scan well, not for me anyway, it won’t lie flat enough.

The Grohl Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Haven't listened to the box set but very happy with the presentation! Love that the booklet is so detailed even for the CD box set. It looks fantastic! I can't wait to find some time to digest it all. I'm also keeping my eye on the vinyl box set because the price keeps dropping on Amazon. I want those extra pointless goodies! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the goodies with CD set, especially the badges. Used to have a beanie full of GD badges years sgo, don't know where it is now. I want the airplane out of the vinyl set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think it’s a great set and I think it’s so in keeping to have dog poo bags and an air freshener 😂😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the vinyl bundle the cd bundle as well as a bunch of clothes I ordered the first day it was available for preorder…anyone else still waiting for theirs?!?!

jengd Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Sadly this is why lots of us don’t buy direct from the website, almost never on time in my experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a shame, and I'm sure it's not the band's fault. Poor @The Grohl had to wait months for his middle finger hand. And we all know what he did with it when he got it. lol. Amazon and eBay took advance orders no worries and even delivered before 29th. I noticed on Amazon UK states pre orders are in 100's with no probs. I don't know why the official website don't just give us a link to these sites approving them. Obviously they'll want a cut, but I'm sure greenday.com will still make a profit. But the most important outcome will be satisfied Green Day customers. And that should always be the first consideration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Last time I ordered direct was for Uno and I had a right row on the phone with a lady from Warners who clearly had no idea that if a band says something is coming on 29th, fans want it in 29th! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that should always be the first consideration. Omg my fury was so bad you remembered lol. But 100% agree. I do what I can to avoid their offical store and sadly it seems most band official stores are shitty. The Cure's store is facing mad delays for example. But Green Day's site is horrible. High shipping prices, bad and slow customer service, and huge delays that they don't really communicate. Even though I want to support the band I stay away from their store if I can help it and just do Amazon even though they suck. But with Amazon I can pre order without them charging my card right away meaning it's easy to change or cancel and usually the price drops by the time of release. Plus, I usually get my stuff release day. It's a no brainer to me. Okay rant over 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikto66 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The Official store here in Australia sent this email the day before the release date "We have an update regarding your ‘Dookie 30th Anniversary’ order. Unfortunately, the stock won’t be arriving for a few more days and will be shipping next week." As of today still not heard anything more or received my order. The Nimrod box set arrived pretty quickly though. The only thing I am disappointed in with the box set is they did not include the re-recorded version of 2000 light years away, which is my 2nd favourite tune behind when I come around. I can only assume they weren't happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wish they had been a little less lazy with the album covers tbh. Woodstock is cool, but the other ones feel half-assed. I loved the Nimrod LPs artwork, and wish it was more like that. Also, love the person that keeps going "WOOOO HOO HOO HOOOOO" in the right speaker on Woodstock throughout the set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffoKate Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I just got the Vinyl set from the Warner reprise store today! They knocked it outta the park (like Nimrod) with these! The box is SUPER shiny! Now I can look beautiful next to a cartoon pile of caca-poo poo! The book is immense!

Popular Post Little Boy Named Booze Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 Crazy how it is all or nothing with them. My Nimrod anniversary came 2 weeks late and my Dookie anniversary arrived 2 days before the official release. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imaginé they didn't like the final record of "dookie" 2000LYA, so they decided to remix the original for jerky boys OST and not include It in this anniversary box. Of course I have the same wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Haushinka should have been on Dookie because they are both kind of boring and Nimrod deserved better. Like Desensitized! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trambopoline Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I was thinking about this today, here are my predictions for AI 20th box: - BIAB reissue - another When It's Time demo (three across all three mega boxes lol) - outtakes disc with shoplifter and governator and too much too soon and junk - stretch goal: studio version of C&V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
