^ Church. Co-sign on this sir. Kids nowadays just build up their own hype just to feel like they got grails!

Anyway, I appreciate JB's effort to package their releases well (DMP Gold hangtags, 3s OG box, infrared plastic wraps, SJ/CG plastic trees) but I can't help but feel they're just sugar coating the bad quality... Good looking wrappers for not so good tasting candy. JB should put more work in the Concords... Still optimistic though.
