Good point, no where on the new vault subscription does it give you a t-shirt size option

It didn't? I thought it did but I guess I didn't pay much attention. I think it might be getting too expensive to include a t-shirt as the final extra. Who knows..

Yes, but you've been paying $70 a quarter for the last few years, haven't you? Considering what the U.S. economy has gone through during those years, the prices of materials and production have probably steadily increased, as has postage. It's actually a bit surprising that TMR hasn't bumped up the price of the Platinum subscription yet.

That's probably also why they've begun to put double albums into single sleeves.

I don't know about all of you guys, but my subscription went up 5$ when the new system was launched. So, there's that.

But wasn't the increase in international pricing due to the increase in postage at our good ol' USPS?

Yes, it does. So does the fact that it takes forever and a day to receive packages anymore and tracking info is erratically updated. USPS basically sux0rs in every way nowadays.

Well, it's on the vault, guys!
I'm half excited and half extremely dissapointed. I waited long for this, but I don't think it's worth a whole package...
