The only title I need out of this is Steal Your Face. I wish they'd just reissue that. It's cheaper to buy this box than to just get that record. Doh.

Same here, though I refuse to buy a box set to get one record. Particularly when my Mars Hotel and Blues for Allah are the MoFis, so the box would be a downgrade.

That's the exact situation I am in. I had the Wake of the Flood rhino from the box, and it was good. Just not MOFI good.
I have both this box and the Warner bros box and both are excellent. Not mofi excellent, but close; close enough that I wound up selling my mofi Allah and Mars because the 45rpm flipping is grating to me. I think you could easily buy this box and sell the records you don't need for a nice bit of coin.

I also hate the 45 flipping. But the 45's of these are so good I fear I'd regret selling them.Fixed !

I think those sales are long gone too unless they do it for Black Friday. I did see Walmart is doing $15 vinyl for Black Friday. Last time it was $15 in store for all vinyl I think in some stores but online was only a select few
They had it on the books last week so I picked up a bunch of books for our boys last week for Christmas. Not vinyl but got 12 books for $82 shipped.

Yea I’ve seen it on books and video games still from time to time but has to be close to a year since the last vinyl sale?

No joke, went into my local shop today. He had just opened a box set. I walked out with Steal Your Face for $38. SCORE.

I gotta think with delays and scarcity, dropping these things at sale price isn’t gonna be happening a lot. I’m even a little surprised about the $15 BF pricing.
According to my Target.com, looks like the last time I ordered with three for two was in February.

By my calculations, 8 months in real time is about a year or more in 2021 time so I wasn’t far off!

Yep. It was right around Valentine's Day. Felt like a jerk ordering a couple of hundred dollars worth of vinyl for me when I should have been coming up with something for my wife. Funny thing is the last two years they've also run the deal around my wife's birthday, putting me in that same guilt-inducing (or is it fear-of-getting-caught?) position. This year? Well, her birthday is Friday, and there's no buy 2 get 1 sale to be seen. Yet I'm still having trouble coming up with any ideas for her.
As a wife, I can let you in on what we want:
Spa day/Massage - any wife that's worth her salt has had to deal with stress inducing husbands.
Nice Dinner (In or Out) - what, I don't have to cook??? Yes please.
Gift card to her favorite store - And some time to go shopping (this is especially applicable if you have kids)
If you give me an idea of the things she likes, I can possibly give you other suggestions.
For instance, I like to paint and draw, so a gift card to blick.com is awesome because they have all sorts of paint. But also giving her time to do something for herself is just as important.
