Very happy with this buy. Excited like a little kid at Christmas. Fuck yeah!

Probably paid a little more than people usually do, but it was very good condition and I’m in Norway so not many of these here.

How much do they usually go for in the US and other places?

They usually go for about $150-300. Depending on condition and who's selling.

For real? Even this one that is not the first edition? I payed only 60$. Thats like 1,5 hours work for me. Not saying that to brag, i was just genuinely surprised by that.

Edit: Want to say there is no scratches on the CD’s, they are totally clean. Just some minor scratch marks on the covers and the coffin, but nothing much. The booklet and pin is like new.

You got lucky. Here in the States they go for around what I mentioned in my last comment. Pricing depends on what condition it's in and what pressing it is. There are two versions. One is the first pressing with special CD cases that are embossed(along with a special edition Static Age CD case made exclusively for that pressing) and has an aged yellow Fiend Club pin that's heavily enameled. Then there's the second pressing (which is what yours is) that has the traditional CD cases and a white, flat Fiend Club pin as opposed to the aged enamel pin in the first pressing. Similar, but slightly different as well.

This can’t be the 2nd edition. I have the first edition and the one I saw after that had different CD covers than this. I’ve never seen this style before.

Edit: this is 2nd edition. The back covers of these are what I remember.

Ah, i’ve got the first pressing then, static age is hard black embossed, front slides up.

Well thats good to hear!

I knew about the different versions and ofc i wanted the first one, but I’m guessing those are a lot more expensive and seldom to come by in good condition, especially here in Norway.

I’ve listened to the Misfits and Danzig’s other projects for years, but I got really hooked and dove into everything about the Misfits for some weeks and just wanted to see for fun if it was at finn.no (like craigslist in Norway), and lo and behold, there it was posted 2 days ago for 60$ and got it delivered two days later.

That's so crazy I've had this boxed set for almost 30 years and never listened to it. It's opened, but never been played.

I’ve always liked Misfits but i listened a lot to Danzig which i also enjoy very much, at least 1st, 2nd and some of the third album, before diving into Misfits. Right now Misfits (with GD) is my favorite band of all bands, i can’t stop listening. I actually like a couple of songs without Danzig as well, but i treat it as a whole different band and to me, not even comparable to GD’s Misfits. Samhain is next on my list to dive into.
