    I think it may have just been a way for people to pay at the actual popup...I got excited about it when they first showed up lol but a few days ago I remembered that they did the same thing for the past pop-ups...there was like a QR code at the pop up that sent you to those pages specifically and you could essentially pay in advance while you wait in line
     
    They really should have those pages hidden for everyone else though...its so misleading

    Yes! I highly suggest collectors to NOT ever buy resell price of Assai. I looked up “Chemtrails” Assai edition on Discogs and saw some ridiculous resell prices. Ya’ll just print your own at that point 😂
     
    Another thing I forgot to mention is that I dislike the idea of them opening up a sealed records. If I were running the business, I would slip the Obi strip on the newly sealed record.
    Also, it appears Assai did not include the hype sticker that says “Limited edition green vinyl + alternative cover” that comes with all indie exclusive pressings - based on the image shared. 
     
    That’s a big no no for collectors. The album is no longer “mint” in that case. 
     
    Also, I looked it up and it appears they sell these Assai exclusives at just the same price as retail, which is great to know! 
    Again, not saying they’re ripping people off - but they can indeed do a lot better. It just takes more time, research, and most importantly passion to answer why they’re creating these Obi strips.

    I agree with everything you've said here!! The obi looks cute but it could be better.
     
    Also for some reason the assai variant is already being resold for like 200+ on discogs....
     
    One of the comments on the listing was like ' at this point just print off ur own and put it on ur album' 😭

    So her store emailed me back and said they can’t mail me a replacement white vinyl because they’re sold out again. Ugh, so frustrating. Why did my vinyl come with a massive scratch on it? Her label clearly does not care about quality control.

    I love the idea of Assai putting Obi strips on their records to create an exclusive feel to the pressing, and the idea of supporting local record stores is dope! and it’s a cute homage to Japanese pressings 
     
    My only gripes I have with this company is they put little-to-no-effort in designing these strips. If you look at Japanese obi strips, there’s a lot of text and info about the album/artist, and there’s better design composition. The graphic designer behind these aren’t really creative tbh. It feels like they literally google translates the artist’s name on top of a strip of paper, and they called it a day. I hope they are not charging extra or more than retail price because that would be a huge rip-off.
    There’s not even a premium feel to it because they write on the strip with a Sharpie, when they can have something pressed or debossed on top.
     
    Sorry, for complaining but I also bought an Assai record from them once, and was very underwhelmed w their “exclusive” pressing.
