      Just a funny idea. Why not post our top 5 most wanted Smashing Pumpkins items here, and let each other know how it goes collecting them. Or help each other finding it, for a good price. Post it all here!

      OK, this is my top 5.

      I’m searching far and wide currently for the Arising! spaceman poster… if anybody has one of those puppies that perhaps they’ve lost interest in – or is sitting in a drawer somewhere – I would love to display that proudly.

      Just registered over here today, but don’t let my low post count fool ya into thinking I’m a flake. :o

      i just saw it once at eBay and it gone around 120 dollars; the seller did not shipped outside USA… F@&kiNG shame!
      please, if you ever see this pretty box… tell me.

    • #42368

      i’ve also seen that one. it didn’t go for $120 but for $300.

    • #42369

      if you really want something, you should consider contacting the seller. a lot of times they don’t mind shipping elsewhere.

      well…what are you waiting for? Do you have anything in particular you really really want?

    • #42387

      i really want that gold gish promo cd. so that would definitely be on the list.

      i’d also like a numbered light into dark cd. i guess these aren’t even that rare or sought after.

      other things on my list right now are just basic collection filler: some of the recent promos and releases. i haven’t been keeping up too well. i guess these ones just aren’t as exciting. comparable to going to the shop and buying some (fairly expensive) milk. i’ve also been put off a bit by the recent fake promos.

      I managed to rid SP from my Blood (collecting-wise), but I still have moments of ‘Wantage’ over the years. :)

      I’d be forever content with the Gish Gold CD and James Iha’s Never Ever Promo CD. I’ve had chances with the Goldies; although missed out on the Jamesies when opportunity called. :?
