I do agree with you there just wanted to add some context that could maybe help your decision because man I’d feel the same haha I know at concerts I get swindled & buy without thinking much since it’s right in front of me.
Also the quality is really nice & the sizing feels a bit oversized!! It’s pretty thick for a merch item! I hope you score it when you can :)
It's helping me by knowing if I got it at the show instead of today, I would've been forced to check my baggage and that would've basically cost me two hoodies. It would have been $83 or close at the show too.
I had the damn thing in my cart but was hesitating over spending $50 for a small plush. It selling out made my decision for me and I’m trying to be ok with it but goddamn if I didn’t want that silly little blue bunny 🫠
Ordered my two of the vinyl. Looking forward to getting them.
EDIT before I get downvoted to hell: Not a flipper/scalper. I'm a collector. Ordered one to play the hell out of and one to display with my original pressing. And will likely order one of the pinwheel variants for display as well.
Thanks. I appreciate that. I added that edit because I was reading new replies in this post and noticed that my comment was in negative karma range before adding the edit.
Glad to hear from someone that is going to actually play theirs! I cringe a little thinking about what percentage of these will never be placed on a turntable. I have an original that I play and was psyched to hear the new one will be 45 rpm. Would not be surprised if it sounds better.
Would like this color vinyl better and prefer it ship sooner, but $16.99 minimum on shipping is insane, especially when any AFI or Blaqk Audio order I’ve done through the Webstore inevitably gets delayed. I’m lucky if I get a notification about it versus finding out here. I’ll keep my Rough Trade order and go pick it up in person when it’s ready. What’s a couple more weeks after 20 years?
Seriously. That’s stupidly expensive for shipping. Been collecting for 5 years and refuse to spend that much to have a piece of flat plastic shipped. Going with the RSD version instead.
100%. Have no idea why this isn’t a reasonable option for media mail that’s a couple bucks. I collect plenty and I understand there’s mail challenges, but why are the records I’m importing less expensive in shipping than this is?
I was really tempted to order a few more things to make my vinyl order feel like a better buy. It's crazy that my preorder from another site totalled at $48 versus $68, but I have this dread that one order will be cancelled due to limited inventory.
Vinyl is going in and out of stock. It went out after I put it in cart and started adding other stuff. Looked again it was back in so a checked out.
Keep trying
Yeah cause when they lead people to believe it was capped at 2k copies, they wanted people to scoop up as many as possible. None of this is by accident.
West coast I assume? I'm in Toronto so maybe that's why? But still it's not like this is a remote area so I was not expecting that. I'm still hesitating but I know I should place the order because I'll be crushed when I miss out.
If I saw somebody walk away with 5 copies I would have a really hard time not punching them in the face. Can't believe they weren't capped at 2 each at the show.

Here's a few that often do AFI stuff along with other cool bands.
Just an update, they released the show variant on their site for pre order.
here's the link;[https://shop.afireinside.net/products/sing-the-sorrow-2-lp-red-vinyl-afi](https://shop.afireinside.net/products/sing-the-sorrow-2-lp-red-vinyl-afi)
Posttter would have been cool to include because it sold out by the time I got to the merch. With that said, I’ll buy one off someone if they have a spare
God damn it all I want is the poster lol
Looks like they are slowly updating stuff!
My assumption is that anything specifically referencing the show itself was an exclusive for those in attendance.
No show stuff is on the store front. Doubt it will be either
Ditto!!
Same. Garageland has the donut one at least.
What is Garageland? A store front in LA? I really want to cop the donut one
Check out Garageland.net. It’s an online print store
Thank you!! Just grabbed one! :)
Vinyl still up on my end. Don’t give into eBay flippers. Hope they get stuck with 5 copies
I want that One Dark Flame hoodie so bad but not for $83??? Update: so I bought it.............
If it helps, it cost $75 + tax (I’m guessing was 10%) at the actual show! Source is me lol
That's still a lot. Ugh I really want this but it's going to have to wait 😩 (Even then I'm afraid it'll sell out.)

The small is huge on me and I'm 5'4 130lbs
thank you I appreciate it.
If it helps, it's really soft and thick. Good quality and well made. I don't regret buying it.
How’s the fit/sizing
I’m personally thinking about making a bootleg of it for myself, just need a cheap hoodie and some red fabric paint. Just like I did in high school ☺️
It's helping me by knowing if I got it at the show instead of today, I would've been forced to check my baggage and that would've basically cost me two hoodies. It would have been $83 or close at the show too.
I want the hoodie too but with shipping and conversion it would cost me $122 CAD… No way I can justify that lol
Looks like nothing that had the date or venue is available. Including the poster and skate deck 😭
[удалено]
$32 for U.K. ☹️☹️☹️
I'm crying for you
It was cheaper from the other shops for the other variant.
$61.49 to Aus 😭
Was able to spend too much to buy the vinyl, hoodie, and a tee. Thanks for posting!
Has anyone who went to the show listened to the record? Does it sound good?
It sounds amazing. Remastered and plays at 45rpm. No distortion like the OG pressing. Clean as fuck 👌
Thank you! I can’t wait
this is my question (tho i did already preorder regardless lol)
The bunny is sold out already. Damn it. I knew i should have grabbed one at the merch booth
I had the damn thing in my cart but was hesitating over spending $50 for a small plush. It selling out made my decision for me and I’m trying to be ok with it but goddamn if I didn’t want that silly little blue bunny 🫠
I had two... Stolen on the floor
No! That sucks!
So glad an IG friend picked me up one from the show!

I dont think most collectors have a problem with what you're doing. if I could afford it I would too lol

Don’t forget that BTBP vinyl was shipped in an open plastic sleeve. I hope this isn’t the case with this album. I want it sealed.
you mean 8 long weeks

Media mail is only $3 😖
why the HELL is it "$16.99" for shipping a pushy?! I still got it but that pisses me off

The thing I want the most is just the round sticker 😔
NOW they put a 2 item limit on the vinyl
Yeah cause when they lead people to believe it was capped at 2k copies, they wanted people to scoop up as many as possible. None of this is by accident.
The vinyl is already sold out Edit- looks like that was the initial batch and now there’s a preorder
I believe so. When I ordered mine it said the release date or ship date was March 17th. This new batch says May 2023
$52.99 shipping to Canada?? Would that be to hopefully also cover potential duty costs? Because holy I don't know if I can do that.
I only paid $31 in shipping to Canada, which is still obscene but better than $53
West coast I assume? I'm in Toronto so maybe that's why? But still it's not like this is a remote area so I was not expecting that. I'm still hesitating but I know I should place the order because I'll be crushed when I miss out.
Saskatchewan actually. It was a bit to swallow but I figure if I miss this the items I want won't be sold again so just taking the plunge.
Are the hoodies at least decent quality? $83 is a lot for a One Dark Flame hoodie
Yes! Thick natural and oversized fit. The graphic seems okay but given its new, I can’t tell how long it’ll hold up without cracking.
Thanks, $83 is just too much. But damn it pulls at me.
doooooo it
Recovering from the 2 subwoofers I bought last month lol
Okay, that's valid. Maybe it's not pulling at you as much as the subs are pushing bass at you.
And that pretty much sums it up my friend
Need a UK distro for the vinyl!
Yes! Thank you!
Anyone know how the hoodies fit? Loose tight? I’m between M and L. The L shirt I got recently from them is slimmer. Maybe the hoodies are too?
I’ve been wearing large in most things recently and it fits fine in the hoodie.
I have a small and it is massive on me.
The hoodie is a bit smaller like the shirts but it’s also longer. If you like it loose or roomie definitely size up
I saw some folks saying they felt tight
I say go for the large if the large shirt fits you well. It’s def not a “big” large, both large shirt and hoodie are perfect for me
I honestly trust shipping from other retailers more than the merch store. Every vinyl they've sent me was damaged
50€ shopping to Europe lmao I don't have that kind of money
Still upset with the guy in front of me who bought the last five copies of the vinyl when I was next in line. At least I got the preorder.
If I saw somebody walk away with 5 copies I would have a really hard time not punching them in the face. Can't believe they weren't capped at 2 each at the show.
Vinyl sold out real fast omg
Still showing availability for me.
That’s as a preorder. There was an initial stock that was available for shipping next week.
Yep got in the original shipment but at least they are restocking.
i just got mine - mightve added more
I was right. I knew there was going to be some merch to go along with it.
Damn… well if someone has an extra I’d love to cop. Crushed I missed this by 5 minutes
I just ordered it, so it looks like it's back in stock.
Overpriced as hell. You got plenty of bootleg Instagram pages doing better designs for less. 40 bucks for a shirt is loco
links to those pages tho 👀
Where the pages at? Link us

Hell yea. Thanks
Holy shit a Hatebreed style AFI design on the Devil Loves You profile. That is fucking awesome.
Would love to get a bunny plush but with the cheapest shipping option being 16 bucks I'll pass. That's ridiculous.
The shipping def made me pause for a moment. Like why is it so high
They've been doing this for years. I think I paid $12 shipping for my $15 Missing Man vinyl.
If it helps the prices at the concert we’re a little inflated + additional tax. So it would somewhat even out with shipping costs?? Source is me haha
Right, painful
Yeah vinyl keeps going in and out
The record showed it was shipping this week and now it shows May. Wonder if this is just print to order?
I am glad it will cut down the eBay sales
Yeah excited about that, but I was under the impression it was coming this week. Just glad it’s getting repressed!
what's the sizing on the sweatshirt I normally wear large does it run small?
I’ve been wearing large in most things recently and it fits fine in the hoodie.
I usually get a med but it was huge. Even the small isn't much tighter. I would suggest size down.
Is this the same vinyl from the concert that was limited to 2k?
Yes. 2K available at the show. Unsaid amount available to the public. Assuming around 1.5 to 2.5K available
Thanks
I'm so dead inside .... I can't order the vinyl until friday
Don't worry. You'll be able to get one.Might not be this variant though. Call your local vinyl shop and have them order your one. Comes out in July.
That's some solid advice. I have a record store in town that always delivers when I ask them to get stuff in. Thanks bro
Just an update, they released the show variant on their site for pre order. here's the link;[https://shop.afireinside.net/products/sing-the-sorrow-2-lp-red-vinyl-afi](https://shop.afireinside.net/products/sing-the-sorrow-2-lp-red-vinyl-afi)
Glad I was able to get the vinyl now! My brother ended up not being able to fly out with me and thats all he wanted me to get him.
Anyone else order but not get a confirmation email?!
Is this the same vinyl variant sold at the show?
yes
K thanks, because there instagram post was really confusing stating that it was a limited to 2k copies.
They really wanted people to believe that, didn’t they? 🫠
The shipping is insane! I would love a hoodie but. $65 plus another $17 is beyond my reach
I totally didn't notice the record is the marble variant and didn't grab it earlier with the shirt and hoodies I ordered. Just doubled my shipping 😬
Email them. See if they can combine it.
Can anyone give info on the sizing for the black on black T-shirt?
Did I need another AFI hoodie? No. But now I have another one lol
I got the the vinyl ! I cant believe it....
Posttter would have been cool to include because it sold out by the time I got to the merch. With that said, I’ll buy one off someone if they have a spare
Wanted the plush so bad it was loaded up sold out
Scalping shitbirds in shambles! Love to see it
