£55 seems expensive.....big miss for me which is a shame as it looks good!

Almost 2 weeks on and the first 50 still haven't sold. I wonder how long it will take to sell out the "strictly first come first serve basis" 200 copies total...

I'm not surprised, though. I think this is just another example of a label trying to appeal to the fans but overestimating the number of potential buyers. If something is truly unique and in demand, it will not take 2 weeks but 2 days (or 2 minutes for Mondo stuff...) to sell out.

This is not to diss College - I like the stuff I've heard (but I will not be getting the box).
