on sale at warpmart. they look amazing!!! but £25 are they mad? do you reckon they'll be collectors items? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Oh dear. Shameless money grabbing if ever there was any. |
||||||||
|

They're taking the piss, it's just because they know people will buy them as they'll be worth far more in a few years time. I may get one, but only as an invetment. It's value as a thing is about as cheap as a Britney Spears lunchbox. |

I've got the screen saver kalidescope. That's good enough for me. |

500 is a bit too many. They could have made 100 and charged £50 for them I reckon. 500 isn't rare enough IMO. |

it's a fucking rip-off! what a scam. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah not really interested in paying for one of those myself. Unless it's like a handcrafted kaleidoscope by the group members. |
||||||||

It'll look great on my shelf alongside the Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" prism... |

I'm about three weeks too late. Godammit. Anyone fancy selling theirs for...let's say £15? :) |

I've got all the mp3s. That's enough for me. -P |

RIPOFF!!!!!! I think my local shop sells kaleidoscopes for about 99p |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ceiling_fan; they are still for sale! |
||||||||
|
|

|

LOL... double standards eh? a few people complain on this thread about Warp 'ripping them off' for a £25 kaleidoscope, and then 'Paco', the Brain of Sweden, freely admits that he has effectively ripped off the entire BoC back-catalogue as MP3s... hypocrisy is the greatest luxury, eh kids? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well that's something he'll have to deal with for the rest of his life. I'm sure he's going to wake up screaming about it |

...only 500 pieces and still for sale? |

ceiling: it is lined up with the geogaddi-stuff... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
theyre sold out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh. Sorry about that one. WarpMart usually removes the "Buy this item" when things are sold out. It's not removed on the Kaleidoscope. |

It's actually a very nice kaleidoscope, one of the best I've ever seen. Is it worth 25 squid? Not yet ;O] |

What are you guys ranting about? Just because they are a record label doesn't mean they are money grabbing assholes. How many labels plug thousands of different kind of shirts for their artists and charge the same? This is a unique piece of artist promotion... and it suites BoC... Besides... kaleidoscopes are fun. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what's IMO mean |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Its kind of discouraging to see a bunch of people hating on a record label just because they are a record label. I mean, warpmart is one of the most decent online ordering catalogue things out there... very few mistakes... most orders get out as soon as possible with a bunch of promo's. They usually put out music they like, not music they think will fit their wallet, they brought you artists like BoB, Afx, Æ, Plaid, []<, etc etc etc.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

BoC, I mean, not BoB. Asche XL, IMO means In My Oppinion. IMHO means In My Humble Oppinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never knew what the H meant imho imho imho imho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IMNSHO means in my not so humble oppinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My only complaint is that they are charging too much money for them. Those are very cheap kaleidescopes, and without the BoC logo on the side with the pictures they aren't worth shit...so charging a lot of money for a low quality product with a logo thrown on is kind of a shitty thing to do... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Sometimes the artist has as much say, if not more, than Warp when it comes to these things. So if you are bitching about price, you may have to look towards BoC, and not warp. Maybe warp lost money in Geogaddi sales and they might need to make that money up somewhere else. I respect warp, and altho I don't feel they aren't flawed, I do believe they deserve the benefit of the doubt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Warp lost money in Geogaddi sales, lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean, I don't care whose fault it is, but they shouldnt be charging 25 pounds for those things. It doesn't really alleviate it to try to think of reasons for them to do it...Warp/BoC doesn't need the money, they are not in debt from selling thousands of copies of geogaddi that they need the money. They just want it, which is cool, but they should sell a decent product. It's like charging $4.00 for a cup of coffee because it says Starbucks on the cup. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like I said earlier. As far as warp is concerned, they set their price and the amount produced, and if the artists doesn't like it, it doesn't get released. That goes for merchandise as well as cd's and vinyl. I don't necessarily think charging an inordinate ammount for something like that is necessarily justified, but I also don't necessarily believe that hating on warp for the price is justified either. If I had the money I would buy one, just cause kaleidoscopes are fun, and a BoC kaleidoscope would be right ace. |

you two dont have a clue what you're talking about. xanatos 'very cheap kaleidoscopes'. bollocks. have you actually held one in your hand? they're very good actually. and the story goes that they cost a lot to make and warp didn't make much profit at all, so chill with the ill-informed bs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the kaleidoscopes are very nice kaleidoscopes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even more of a reason to own one. just imagine sitting on the grass in your local park (no, not *that* kind of park, a GOOD park) chilling with friends, picnicking, smoking a few and then peering into it! summer's nearly here. can't wait. |
