OK so here's what I've got/got ordered so far:

- Hard Candy CD Album (Standard)
- Hard Candy CD Black Case Pack Thing
- 4 Minutes US Maxi Single
- 4 Minutes 2 x 12" Vinyl (2 copies, one sealed)
- 4 Minutes Picture Disc
- Give It 2 Me US Maxi Single
- Give It 2 Me Picture Disc
- Give It 2 Me Australia 3 track CD Single

What I know I'm missing:

- Hard Candy Triple Vinyl Pack
- 4 Minutes UK CD Singles

So what do you recommend I get next?

The triple vinyl pack for sure!

Yes, get the triple vinyl before it sells out (Amazon still have it for under US$30.00). Once it sells out, it's going to start getting VERY expensive!!

Buuuuut the exchange rate means I'd pay almost DOUBLE the US cost. I better wait.

Not at the moment - the US $ is almost the same as the Aust. right now!! If you wait, you'll only be able to buy it on Ebay and those expensive sites like eil.com! (I think Amazon are down to their last copies now). Either way, you'd be very lucky to get it any cheaper (on the UK ebay they are already selling it for GBP30.00 - that's double!!).

ie: Double for US dollars, TRIPLE for us!! GBP30.00 is about NZ$90.00 (just under).

*whistles*

Well I'd better hold tight until I pay off my credit card from all those other Madonna purchases I made lately. (Looking at you, Shane, lol).

Did you guys hear about what they're releasing soon in the states?

A double-12" vinyl set for Give It 2 Me ...

A US PICTURE DISC of Give It 2 Me ...

And a WHITE VINYL 7" 4 Minutes pack, one vinyl has 4 minutes on it, the other give it 2 me. Packaged in the 4 Minutes single artwork. Odd move, almost bootleg-ish, but thats the word from MadonnaTribe.

Oh, Brad, big wow, $27.10 on PayPal, it's hardly a mint! LOL!!

Haha well I don't bother with "mint" stuff anyway, hehe. Just her stuff is good enough for me. If its mint, its a bonus.

Say what? I said "A mint" not "mint"............

Hey, $27.10 is a lot of money for a busy degree student!!

That's like ... three trips to McDonalds?

I'll just go, sit and starve quietly.

I know, I do remember...it wasn't that long ago I was still studying (still have a student loan to prove it!) oops! So I've shipped your items today, along with a little "surprise" - I hope you enjoy it - Fleur got a different "surprise bonus" in her package this week as well...and, um, SOMEONE still hasn't left feedback for their Like A Virgin compact! tut-tut!

oooohhhh the school teachers just told me off!!!!! may i remind you that this was offered to me by you and then withdrawn, and the offer was done just between you and i, so tm was not involved. so pretty hard to place feedback when as far as theyre concerned i never purchased it in the first place. correction, correction school master. so, no tut tut required shane.

Dont make me give you both a spanky...

I think I am the SOMEONE lol

Sorry Shane, I completely forgot- was a bit of drama with that compact actually. I sent you my old address by mistake (I've removed it off TM now so it doesn't happen again) and didnt realise until about a week after it should have arrived. I've been around to the old house twice to ask them if they received it, but the people there seem to have vanished into thin air. The house is still occupied, but no one is ever home, in the morning or at night!

So I've written it off, and with everything going on here at home with our redecorating, I completely forgot to leave you feedback. My humble apologies.

I try not to think about it, it upsets me that I made such a silly mistake and lost that fabulous compact!

No, Fleur, I wasn't telling you off, I was telling off Gen!! (This was the Virgin album cover compact - the one I sold you I dubbed the Madonna white compact!) - I've only just sent yours!
