The Cube
-
Are FYE stores only in the US? I think that's a given if so. Any Independent Record Store SHOULD carry it on Black Friday. You can search your area here: http://recordstoreday.com/Venues

My cube was broken, didn't work At least I got one. Bummer, though!
-
I went to FYE when they opened yesterday. I also only saw 2 cd.'s on the counter 1 deluxe and one regular edition. I got the regular edition since I already had the deluxe and picked up the cube. I also had to ask for the cube.

Just to be sure again: you pulled the tab out of the slot on the battery door, and pressing the little black button now doesn't do anything? I thought mine was defective since there was no switch where it says "ON" and "OFF" but apparently there's not supposed to be one; that's just a big, empty slot for some reason, and the little black button lets you cycle through the settings.

I hate to ask, but if anyone can also get me the cube. I spent my whole lunch time looking yesterday and both FYE stores closed down! I think there may be one in a different county, but I'm working so much, I can't have time to drive there! I will gladly pay you or I can get you either a Best Buy or Target album! Please PM me if you could help me, thanks!

Yes, it's 3x3x3, about the size of a Bose cube speaker. If the room is dark, it still can dominate, especially with the flashing lights!

I cannot believe what people are asking for on eBay. It's a little cube that lights up...not a magic box that let's you talk to Paul. It's cool to have while "NEW" is new, but not $100USD+ kind of cool. I'll go back to FYE today to see if they have anymore. (highly doubtful).

How do you know it's NOT a magic box that let you talk to Paul? That is silly that people would spend that much, it's great to have, but that's a lot. Years ago I dated someone that managed a record store. He had a room in his apartment of promo items, posters, tshirts, and records that was collecting (not using). A mutual friend told me that after his store closed he spent a couple years selling all the collectibles on ebay and used that for living expenses. When I called my local stores I wondered if any of them did in fact get a few but the staff kept for themselves in hopes of selling. I hope not, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Yep, did all that. It's dead. However, my record shop held another for me and said I can go swap it for one that works...gonna do that either today or tomorrow!

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.

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!

Yesterday, got the deluxe at Target. Today, got my cube from a local FYE affiliate along with one of the basic/regular CDs.. I really like it, especially like that I just had to buy the album and not pay one of those high prices on ebay.

It's disgusting. I'm currently winning an eBay auction but I know I'll lose. Don't worry...I'm not one of those nut jobs up in the triple digits. By the way, thanks for checking again today LetMeRollIt89...I'd imagine they're all gone at this point.

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.
