Good news and bad news. haha. My FYE sold out! Bad news is they're gone, but the good news is Paul is selling out!
What store did you go to? In Chicago? I need to check mine. I'm out in the burbs.
I haven't checked the FYE in downtown Chicago in the Loop (on Wabash), but I would imagine they're sold out being in that area. I'm gonna make another run tomorrow to see. I heard that FYE was closing, but I'm not sure if it did yet. I'll update tomorrow...maybe I'll get lucky.

There's a guy on ebay selling 9 cubes set and it seems to me he stole from one of FYE stores.
I saw...he probably works there. Still stealing, but I doubt he actually broke in and stole them. More crop up as the day goes on...I'm keepin an eye.
I was very careful not to tell the guy who sold me mine what these are selling for on ebay. I could just see that guy, quietly taking the remaining ones home when he closes up shop and then uploading them on ebay, depriving some fans of the chance to have one.
There is one listing for 9 cubes and they show the shipping box was addressed to the Store Manager - FYE 195 Forest Ave Glen Cove, NY. That manager should have a lot of explaining to do about how this listing ended up on EBAY.

yah i saw that one too, hes asking for over 1,000 dollars for those he probably quit that day and took the box to make a profit out of it

Whoa, the 9-cube ebay auction ended. Someone actually bought the lot?! parlance

Looking at the cubes for sale on ebay, I think there is a bubble forming in the sale of cubes. I find hard to believe that enough buyers will emerge to buy these things at the prices they are asking, which seem to range between fifty to one hundred dollars. There are around 35 for sale and if I hadn't gotten mine at the store, I would not consider buying one on ebay. Of course, I could be wrong and the Wall Street Journal might start following their sale with things like numbers for sale, average price per cube, number of bids prior to sale,

Went to a different FYE today in Chicagoland. They had one cube left and a fresh batch of "NEW" cds. I bought a standard and got the cube. I don't need two. If anyone is interested, PM me, otherwise I will just save it for a Christmas present.
-
A friend of mine tried to get one today at the FYE near him, but they were all gone. They told him they got 10 total, and that as soon as they opened Tuesday a guy bought three of them, and then another guy bought two. Didn't even occur to me. I had too much faith in humanity, imagining each one being enjoyed by a single McCartney fan. Oh, well.

I think someone should turn him in to FYE. Seriously. THAT is just ridiculous.

I don't know about those two guys but in fairness, I did buy an extra one for a friend and she'll already be getting it by tomorrow. parlance

The problem is that FYE didn't officially announced about free lighted cube with purchase of Paul's NEW which means they can do anything with "cubes".

Well, THAT I can understand. Perhaps I shouldn't judge so harshly.

I went to an FYE in South Jersey. I was the second in line. At 10 AM there were 3 of us in line. The door opened. This woman ran in and grabbed all 3 deluxe versions (there were only 3 of each version). She got 3 cubes. When I saw that, I grabbed 2 standard cd's; 2 cubes. The 3rd customer got the last standard cd. He got 1 cube. The cd' were all gone. The owner had 3 cubes left. He had to wait for the next shipment to hand out the final 3 cubes he had. To recap, store opened at 10 AM. By 1004 AM, ALL CD"S GONE!! I hope everyone has a chance to get a cube. In a very dark room it looks GREAT!! GOOD LUCK EVERYVODY!!!!

The cube reminds me of the coloured lights at the New Drive-In listening preview. It was really cool! I wonder if anyone put it up on YouTube?

I never heard of FYE but found I got two very close to me between home and work. Maybe I might drive by them but I got Halloween costume parties and dances after work this weekend (and and art show). I'd like a cube. It probably is similar to the light up floating dolphin in my bathtub my boyfriend gave me.

It looks good sitting atop my CD player behind the glass door on the stereo cabinet. The appearance is vastly improved with the cube on and the lights off and New playing. as was the case last night. A music and light show in my home!
