I think actually I, for one – and for once – share Julio's view.


But, please, no poll. Let's settle this like men in 2022: By bickering on the internet.

The model guitar is over priced tat so the only thing of interest here are the recordings.
They could make £15 a download with each show so they would easily make more from those than the guitar.
I'm amazed that MK/DS management are leaving so much money on the table-crazy business sense!
Instead of the recordings the fans get another two fingers(MK is old school) for Christmas :disbelief

Agree on the downloads. Actually I think that's the product they should go for, but guess their hands are tied.
You might get lucky, now and then

That they need from MK side provide them with the recordings and, you know, MK only looks forward.

If anyone still wants to buy the toy guitar they have reduced the price to "only" *checks notes*... £247.50, I guess they overestimated demand for this limited edition product.

Yes, this product still perplexes me a lot. I think album releases should look something like this nowadays. I don't want CDs, give me something unique! They should've packed all these box sets, 1996—2007 and 2019—2018, and put it out with this guitar, complete with hi-res 24bit/192kHz audio on a USB-C drive, a bunch of bonuses and whatnot. THAT would sell like ice cream on a hot day. But the music industry is still driven by dinosaurs.
