If you’re reading this, you have secured a WaxBux™ with your purchase of some cool Merch Vessel merch! What are WaxBux™? What can you do with them? What are they for? It’s all quite convoluted and intentionally difficult!
I was so tired of losers constantly bitching that people who are “TRVE FANS” were unable to get copies of records, and that they only went to “flippers and bots”. So, here’s your chance to literally get records for being a fan.
Every merch order placed will come with WaxBux™. These WaxBux™ can then be redeemed for stuff! So, if you’re a WV fan buying a shirt, or a big fan of a band buying ALL their merch, or if you’re just a casual dude who grabbed a shirt here or there, you can save up those WaxBux™ for some cool perks!
ALL MERCH ORDERS WILL COME WITH ONE $3 WAXBUCK.
I will outline the benefits of EA below, but I wanted to touch on the Member Mage bidding. Every record that I do has a special variant made just for the band. The most limited variant. The “Member Mage.” Because these are hand-made and sometimes take a few tries to make, I sometimes get extras. I generally order 10, and give 5 to the band. Keep one for myself, and Nick gets one too. One Member Mage is allocated for the EA wheel (see below) and the others can be “bid” on in the WV Facebook group. That’s right! You can make bids with fake money and if you have the max Wax Bux bid, you get a MM shipped to you for free!
I know it’s corny as hell, but I think it could be fun! And if you’re buying merch anyway (no, I won’t be selling WaxBux™ for literal cash, don’t be weird) then it’s just a cool bonus for the records. Synergy!
HOW DOES IT WORK? HOW DO YOU GET THESE PERKS? HOW DO YOU USE A WAXBUX™
So! When you have your WaxBux™ and you see a release get announced that you want to redeem for, just message me on announcement day that you would like to redeem them for that release. Thats it! “Hey Nik, I would like to claim Early Access for _____ release that you just announced.” That’s it!
You MUST send this message to the Wax Vessel Facebook page. If you send it on instagram, email or to my personal Facebook, it will not count. Early Access is limited and fills up - I use the messenger inbox to see the order in which the requests came in to determine who makes the Early Access cut.
Early Access can fill up! Most people are messaging like, within a minute of the band being announced! So there is a chance if you message me six hours after the announcement to claim EA that you might not be able to! Which is why the most important rule is:
MESSAGE ME FIRST BEFORE YOU SHRED ANY BUX. I MUST CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE GOOD TO EA BEFORE YOU ARE GRANTED EA. DO NOT PRE-SHRED BUX.
I repeat: WaxBux™️ can only be redeemed on the day the band is announced.
After I confirm that you are good to claim EA, You must send a video of you saying what release you are redeeming them for, with the name of the release written on the WaxBux™️, and then you must destroy the WaxBux™️ and show me the destroyed bux. No cuts or edits in the video. Put your phone on a flat surface and send me the un-interrupted footage of you cutting them up or whatever.
EA always goes live at 12:15 CST on drop days. If you put in the password and it doesn’t load, it means you are doing it too early. If you try the password too many times it will lock you out and you’ll miss EA. EA is good for one copy total. No more than one EA copy unless you are doing multiple EA. You can not buy a sig at drop if you EA. The password is not to be shared. The variants are limited to make sure that all EAs don’t buy the same variant and deplete it for drop. EA guarantees you the best Sig.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EARLY ACCESS YOU ASK?
EA guarantees you the best sig. It will also come with the best version of the other mechanic TBA. It will also enter you in to a drawing for a FREE Member Mage. I repeat: everyone who does EA on a release (it is capped) will be put in to a randomizer, and the winner will be shipped a free MM with their order. At the end of the year, there will also be more EA-redemption related perks involving Build-A-Mages/etc.
Also, please email me beforehand to check availability on some stuff. All of these perks are obviously limited to stock I have on hand/amount of people redeeming.
Please be cool and have fun!
