I was at work tonight (Circuit City), and we were doing our monthly reset. Basically changing all the music/movie/game tags to the appropriate prices and so forth. After they all had printed, I started to rip them apart and sort them. Once I got to the 2nd to last page of tags, I came across "TOOL - 10,000 Days $13.99"

So, I pulled the UPC off (828768199121 if anyone has any intrest/need for that) and checked our database. We of course didnt' recieve any yet (obviously, I would have found it by now), but our warehouse had some in transit. Checking the warehouse invetory is odd, it says "In Transit" and an amount, but never specifies if it is going out (to specific stores) or in (in transit to the warehouse), but nevertheless...10,000 Days is on the move.

So yea...maybe its a pointless thread, but Ive seen many more that are worse than this. So...for all you looking for a leak...it might be sooner than later

That's interesting.

When I used to work at best buy, they never had an IN TRANSIT system marker. Just available/unavailable, and how many onhand.

Pretty darn interesting.

Thanks for the info, dude. How long is your shipping from DC usually?

We might have a leak by the end of this week, if Circuit City has their shit straight.

you just tell me where, and im there with a crowbar

Oh fuck, I work warehouse at circuit city. And tomorrow is a truck day!

I feel for you...our warehouse employees get treated like ass...I hope you have it better

Really? That sucks.

At our store we don't really get along with everyone on the floor, but we don't treat eachother like shit.

They like shitty popular music while us in the warehouse are into metal and stuff.

seems wierd that it would ship alittle less than a month before its release date

Actually, thats about right. Stuff usually starts shipping 3 weeks or so before release.

my guess is that since the original release date was today, they couldn't hold on to it any more so they shipped it out....

thread of the day, A+ will visit again

kudos for the info bro

if this shit is true, shouldnt we be expecting a leak soon? Or ...Now?

I figured there would be naysayers (Im surprised it hasn't happened yet)...so I stole the evidence

sorry...I have no digicam, but the Mac has a built in camera. Shitty quality...and mirror image...but oh well

bro kudos again

Thanks for the info!

So now I'll ask.

What if, say, you get a shipment in tomorrow of (commonly known as) 10,000 Days. Can you get your hands on a copy?

Outstanding work.... having withdrawls....must hear new Tool....SOON

can I....yes. Will I...no.

I won't risk my job to hear an album one month early. I probablly would never be caught, but Im not the thieving type (other than price tags which would have been tossed ;)

Just because they are in transit, doesn't necesarily mean we'll get it tommorow. Granted, at times we get CD's up to a month in advance, but its usually more along the lines of 5-15 days. Regardless, if the system is right (which it usually is), they WILL be in the warehouse (not our local warehouse in the back of the store, but regional faciility) w/in the week or so. Im sure if we are getting it...others will too. Hence the chance of it leaking soon being a possiblity.

Plus...I want to wait until the 2nd to listen to it. The anticipation is nice.

Great news! I'm psyched.

I'm seriously thinking about grabbing it a month early, I don't care much for the job and already have another one lined up. But I wouldnt want to go to jail over this.

I just remembered we get our new releases from UPS and I usually open up the boxes to find out what they are and take them to merch so if I'm working the day we get them then I'd at least be one of the first to see it at our store.

By the way, the 10000 days torrent with the AFD thingy on it from ISOhunt is fake, but it's kinda cool on it's own. I wonder what band it really is?

So what's the new price that you changed it to IE the sale price? Since I probably will be going to CC on release day I want to know these things. Or is 13.99 the sale price? Thanks.

Just leave an extra 20 in the manager's office.

And you don't have to listen to it...haha.

I looked up the UPC: http://www.upcdatabase.com/item.asp?upc=828768199121

Nice work lachrymotion.

Yeah, just open it and send it to us.

lawls




Exactly. I never stealing it, just obtaining it. Not that I think you'll receive it anytime soon (soon being ten hours from now)

Does anybody know what that "Pending Updates 3" means?

yea, you click on "modify entry" and can edit it

GREAT news. and I mean GREAT.

awesome! useful info right here.

You might not do it but i promise someone will, it should be out in a few days.

What are the odds of you buying a copy insanely early........................or stealing one...................or maybe stealing one for me.................

Great thread, keep us updated?

I don't know shit about UPC's but since it said it was entered/modified today does that mean that it would already be pressed. and be an actual item?

i wouldn't buy it. especially if tool has a release agreement...could amount to huge fines.

Also since you can update it, could that UPC be something someone just put up on the website themselves as a hoax?

my balls are tingling

anyone else?

You're right in that anyone can enter/edit it, but it looks like that's the real UPC at least (according to the OP).

Come on guys, this is good. There was a huge aount of people wasting their time on Systolic's little prank, now have something that shows the album is now tangible and we still want to discredit it. Believe people. Let the shivers overtake you. I know it's just an album, but five years is a long time.
