I purchased this box set the day it went on sale for Robotic Empire in 2008 (almost 10 years to the day). Most of these records have never been played and it's time to pass it on to another fan who can enjoy this set. Overall it's in great shape for its age!
This box set was limited to 600 copies worldwide (100 for the band, 250 for Europe, and 250 for USA). 8 albums split onto 12 LPs all on 180 gram black vinyl. There's also 12"x36" poster insert/lyric sheet.
