$114.

AGAIN, no vendor has Memory Garden - Carnage Carnival. I really need to start posting in the "request" threads. :)

I didn't buy a ProgPower shirt... and then they only had one XL left, and Reverend Su started selling it with her boobs, and so of course I changed my mind... but by the time I made it to the table, it was sold.

How much? Far too much

*WTF at this packaging??!!! Did anyone else pick it up? I got the digi-pack (I think that might have been all that was available). Who the hell approved this packaging? It's pixelated to shit. The Arjen Lucassen on top and the Guilt Machine on the spine are pretty much illegible. How did this get by everyone and make it all the way to the vendors? I didn't look at it carefully because the moment I saw Guilt Machine, I put it on my pile of CDs I was picking up Friday morning. I had to do a doublecheck while unwrapping it in the car ride home because it looks like a homemade bootleg.
 
Me and my wife bought
ProgPower shirts
PPUSA DVD VII for 5 bucks
PPUSA DVD VIII for 5 bucks
Cage-Science
Ronny Munroe- solo cd
she got a Sabaton girly shirt
A lot of beer and water

I talked with the guys at the table about that. I think that's why it was marked down by $5. They knew it was bad quality but there was also a stack of much better/perfect quality ones in another stack right next to those botched ones for the additional $5. Maybe by the time you got there the good ones were sold out. Were there three stacks? The left one was $25 and perfect, middle was $20 and pixeled like crap, the right was (I think) $15 but wasn't the fancy package like the other two.

Damn. I guess I should have paid more attention. I did see the three piles but I checked the backs quickly and saw the $15 one didn't have the bonus stuff and I didn't notice anything additional for the $25 one (it looked like it was a digi-book instead of digi-pack) so I wasn't about to spend $5 extra for it. I was trying to get in and out quickly so we could get lunch, stop at the hotel, and be back in time to make sure we were front row for DSO & Sabaton.

I was lucky to notice the price difference right away and the guys showed me the graphic quality of each. I don't even know what I got, to be honest. Digipak, deluxe booklet, deluxe package.. i have no idea. I just wanted the Guilt Machine disc and figured I'd go for the gold and get the "fancy" one. Gotta open it up and see what exactly I got :lol:

On Saturday night, I started to pick up Stratovarius – Polaris, when I realized I couldn’t remember if I’d already purchased it on one of my previous trips to the vendor room. I had to go back to my hotel room to sort through all my loot to figure out if I already had a copy. (I didn’t). I decided that was probably a sign that I was out of control. :lol: The damage came to about $450.
