Damn it! Had I known I would’ve saved for this!

[torgotheme]

Looks like you get everything except for a "hidden compartment" item. Much more reasonable price.

[WhoDaresWins]

checked it through but shipping to Canada was $350 usd + 110 usd tax, but then it stated it wasn't avaialable to cnd customers..

strange.. oh well

$960 usd wasn't much of a deal anyways

[YesterdaysLegend]

Shippimg to Europe 350 $ also…

[GACatmandu]

It says at the bottom of the listing that it is only available to customers in the U.S..

[ftjr1974]

I'd love to pull the trigger on this but $500 is still too much for me to spend.

[joma5477]

I don't know whether to say thank you or goddamn you...I just ordered one. I still think it's overpriced as fuck, but I want the music and dunno if it'll be released more reasonably priced.

[ftjr1974]

Gotta wonder how this makes the people who spent 2-3x this amount without a meet and greet feel. Next just the cds will be available for purchase for $149.

[joma5477]

Do you get the stupid safe thing? Dunno how much I care about it, but for 65 bucks shipping I would hope so...

[Kissoff]

I'm glad I bought the book and CDs. Best money I ever spent on music hands down. Don't need that big ass safe thing.

My understanding is the vault lock doesn't even work. Is this true.

[enabler]

Doesn't say anything about it being signed. Either way, still a pass at that price.

[Phyllis Simmons]

I'm glad I bought the book and CDs. Best money I ever spent on music hands down. Don't need that big ass safe thing.

Cool. How did you do that? On-sold by someone I guess?

Gene's folks reading this - please just sell the book and discs as a set!? I'm genuinely interested in wanting to purchase that. I have zero interest in the giant tin can, with the silly looking doll, other junk nic-nacs, and a bonus pair of Gene's used socks or undies.. No interest at all.
But the book - with the discs - that can sit nicely on my album shelf; that's a yes!

And it can be shipped outside the US then.

What? For old Gene demos? Is that really the best money you ever spent on music?
I'm not picking a fight, I'm just curious.

[spacecat2500]

Next step..,,General release. Next next step.,,available on Apple Music.

Yep, I love this set. I'm not saying it's the best music on earth. But it is the best $400.00 I have spent on music. I listen to this set of demos more then probably 95% of my music collection, and definitely more than any other thing to do with KISS these days. There are some really great music in these Gene demos.

[ypke]

Cd's and book is the only part that I'd like to have.
For 150-200 bucks I'd do it.

There were like 20 sets of the book with the CDs new listed on Ebay about a little over a year ago, they all went for between $350.00 and $400.00. I don't remember the name of the company that had them but they were the official books and CDs.

Yep 100% agreed.

Although I am surprised (and slightly proud) Gene kept his word about this stupid thing and didn't release a bare bones CD and book only edition.

[GACatmandu]

Yes you do.

Yep that's true.

[redinthesky]

Interesting....it's a "pre-order" for August, so I guess these are not 'leftovers?' And also that it will be shipped in two shipments. One for the vault itself, and another for everything else? Funny how they are giving just a few days to purchase at this price. Seems like they can make more of everything, I'd like to get the music and the book but couldn't care less about the other stuff. Just gonna wait it out.

Looking forward to the Christmas sale.

[alanrosembung]

Will there be any good songs on this edition?

[B5Erik]

When it gets under $100 we'll talk. No, "Vault," needed. Just the book and CD's.

[Spiritual_Chaos]

Make a "sampler" vinyl with the 12-25 best songs.

It's a magnet

[scallions]

Anyone want to start a thread and start a group to chip in and get it? I don’t care about anything but the music. I could copy for all who chip in.

[highvoltage1969]

Age hasn't improved my appreciation the packaging, if anything it looks worse than I remember. Reminds me of the sort of thing you'd see in a supermarket toy section at Christmas.

[StraightThruTheHeart]

Interesting....it's a "pre-order" for August, so I guess these are not 'leftovers?'

I would assume these are leftovers. There may be logistics involved in shipping them.

[StraightThruTheHeart]

So nobody remembers how Gene said these would never be available for cheaper?????

"There's a sucker born every minute."

[Somebody Backstage]

Quite a drop from $2,000. Next they'll be giving them away,

[Kissologist]

Next step..,,General release. Next next step.,,available on Apple Music.

I hope so.
But frankly I'm losing faith that that will happen

[Somebody Backstage]

I would be willing to pay 15 bucks for a 10 track "Best of the Vault" CD.

[Deuce1231]

It's a prop. So what?

[CStomp1]

"There's a sucker born every minute."

I definitely remember that and was going to post about it. I recall it being presented exactly that way, and there was a lot of chatter here about how someday we'd see the price drop despite what Gene was saying. Whoever took that position was exactly right.

[GACatmandu]

Question: Is there a corner cut on the vault so you can't go back and sell these things for more anytime soon?

[GACatmandu]

Anyone want to start a thread and start a group to chip in and get it? I don’t care about anything but the music. I could copy for all who chip in.

Talk like that will get you in trouble around here.

So you don't think for $2,000 - that the vault shouldn't have actually been a vault that works just in a proper professional creation of the vault?

[BarkBlue]

Gotta wonder how this makes the people who spent 2-3x this amount without a meet and greet feel. Next just the cds will be available for purchase for $149.

This is my thought (and hope).

Don't want or need the vault itself, or an action figure and coin but I do want the music. Gene knows there's a market for that alone, so I'm guessing it's a just give it time scenarios.

[Doose]

Didn't the Vault guy get fired? I know he did some expos as "the Vault guy," but never learned what actually happened to him.

[Rip & Destroy]

FYI this is the 2nd time it has been marked down. The first time was $1000 at fye.com back in late 2018:

viewtopic.php?t=127317

I saw the book while visiting KISS Monster mini-golf in Vegas and I've heard the songs. I would pay no more than $100 but I doubt they will become available as a partial package unless there are some damaged ones laying around.

Not really. If there was a real lock on it, the likes of those complaining about it NOT being real would also have something to say when people forgot their combinations. Vicious circle.... Besides, the $2,000 was for the event, not just the product.

I think you are missing the point. Just in a professional construction way - if you are going to bother even creating a vault, it should be working. If I bought a mini vault for $200, I would expect it to close and actually lock and it probably would.

Gimme a break. By your thinking, if they included 1/6 scale replica car it should be able to have petrol added, oil, and be allowed registration to go about the road. Next you will say the Gene Simmons figure should come to life in a Trilogy Of Terror Way.

[His Majesty]

I love Van Halen more than I do KISS right now, but there's no way I would pay $500 for 2 VH/Gene demos.

Sorry, Chaim.

[Grizzly Adams]

I think he’s playing keyboards in Soul Station now.

No, that would be fucking stupid and is as a comparison.

I'm not picking a fight, I'm just curious.

I have now heard all of the 11 cds and there are a total of about 4 good songs in total on them. The vault is not worth 15 dollars.
