Nobody HAS to buy anything.
We all have free will.

Really? It's not cool to release great music at any and all possible times? What are you even doing here? No comprendo.
Oh and who says it can't be about other people? One could buy any number of December soundtrack releases and give them as gifts. See how selfless one can be?
Party on, film music labels. Santa approves.

I can't complain about La-La's Black Friday batch, because they always release a big batch at this time each year. And at least this year their big box set was one of that batch (unlike last year when they released a Black Friday batch AND the STAR TREK TOS box! ). I can't complain about Intrada doing what they always do either. But Varese not bothering to release any Club releases all year, and then finally deciding to come back out of the woodwork at Christmas is a little galling! I hope they don't release much that I want, or I may end up missing out on something I'd like.

As far as I'm concerned we have done our "Black Friday" batch since 2008 and will continue to do so until the bitter end. If anyone else wants to join in on our reindeer games be my guess! lol
See y'all Dec 2, 2014

So, we should not purchase any releases throughout the year from LLL and just buy their Black Friday releases?

I'm getting to be in the same boat and this is where I'm really struggling with this hobby. I don't know if it's the continual flood of new releases or the constant release speculation that increasingly occupies the discussion on the board, but I feel that I'm increasingly shifting towards lamenting things that I don't have instead of appreciating the releases that I do have.
I think that nails it for me, I lament a lot the many albums that I want to buy but haven't yet. (For various reasons) I can name about 15 releases of the top of my head from the last few months that I really want (some of which have been on my wish list for a long time). I feel I need to get them, to catch up as it were and that can never happen on top of new releases.
I know I can't extract myself from here completely because I know I'll miss things that I really really want, so I need to work on my general desires and more appreciating all that I already have (and that is quite a lot)
That is where I am too, I had to throw up the white flag. I will miss a lot of releases but I can not keep up with all the ones I would like to have before they are sold out or go on Intrada's "AVAILABLE UNTIL ? OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!" list. I have about 10 titles at Intrada that I would like to purchase, but I find myself buying them when they are on that list. I have just given up on any Krizterland, BSX, Perseverance, etc. releases because they are not releasing what I like to listen to or I already have it in some form. Intrada, LLL and Varese will get some of my money. It is just that I have to pay rent, have a car payment, pay student loans and purchase food. Do you realize how much food you can buy for the price of a LETHAL WEAPON box? That is almost 3 weeks worth for me. I decided the food was better for now.
Besides--
"What did you get Grandma for the holidays?"
"Nothing I don't have that much money, but look at all these great films scores I just got!"
Happy Holidays?
I was going to get my Dad the Rozsa Box, but he said that was too much to spend on him. We will see.
