I've bought all 3 and am buying this one. Had no issue buying without knowing what was inside and have no regrets after the fact.
Completely understand why some people wouldnt be cool with that, but this isnt who that is marketed for I guess. You're buying the theme/label and the experience. Whether the price is worth it or not is subjective. I personally would like if it was a bit cheaper but also don't really mind the price point, nowhere near a dealbreaker for me (that could change depending on how many they put out next year).
Great to know, glad you stand by your purchases and enjoy the experience!
I guess before VMP the only things I bought before I knew what I was getting was Pokemon cards, so I guess their marketing to the same crowd?
I didn't buy Motown nor Blue Note, (Motown isn't my jam, whereas Blue Note is) but from what I heard about the extras, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Besides the money, if your goal is to educate people about these labels, I find it odd that there arn't more industry experts, people who work/run the label, leading these series. What is Storf's background? It's like taking in news from an economist do I listen to Paul Krugman or Ben Shapiro? I like to learn from people who are in the industry and have insights that I have no idea about. With Ghostly it was fun to learn about Shigeto, Choir, and hear from the owner, however I passed on watching all of the unboxing's because, time, why do I need to watch someone open a box? But that's just me, and if unboxing are your jam that's cool too.
So yeah, if you buy it enjoy it and if you don't buy it also enjoy it, VMP has become such a divisive company that it almost begs the question, is it worth beating a dead horse, they once again are coming off a fiasco and are asking their customers to trust them again. I find it funny and odd at the same time, but I guess these are probably the same people who still eat at Chipotle despite their continued reliance on buying/sourcing vegetables that have killed/ made people sick.
I think everyone here knows what they want, I think it's important for us to share opinions and help lead people to making a better more informed decision, and while it certainly isn't a VMP community, this is the VMP anthology thread, so perhaps we turn this thread into the community that VMP should be providing and have the members here discuss their experience/learning with each new anthology that comes out.
I don't know who we could contact, but I am almost certain, members of N&G could put out a great Anthology set, similar to the AOTM thread, it would be cool if we did an Anthology one as well.
