I had some time to myself after work this afternoon (which rarely happens nowadays) so I took a mental-health trip to, where else, the record store... and BOY am I glad I did, cuz I knocked one of the longest standing "wants" off of my want list...

AC/DC - Bonfire (4 CD box set)
FINALLY! I have wanted this damned thing ever since it came out in the mid 90s but at the time the price tag (which ran between $40-$50 new, if memory serves) was a bit steep for my broke 20-something ass. When I saw it sitting there today for only $20, though, I went weak in the knees and snapped it up immediately. Best of all, the box and all the contents are in absolutely minty shape and all the extra goodies (poster, booklet, sticker, AC/DC temporary tattoo, guitar pick and AC/DC keychain/bottle opener) were included. I can finally declare my AC/DC collection complete!!

Also: 
Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla/Sin After Sin Russian "2-on-1" bootleg. I have both of those albums on CD already of course, but I couldn't pass this up cuz I can't resist weird shit (haha). Besides, the Rocka Rolla cover art on the front is the old school soda-pop bottle cap cover, not the winged armored warrior cover that's on the CD I already have, so that was enough to justify the purchase.

Bullet Lavolta - Gimme Danger EP - I'm not really familiar with this band aside from a cover of "Detroit Rock City" that I have on a KISS tribute, but that was good enough to make it worth taking a punt. Time will tell if I chose wisely.

What do you think on the new 30 Seconds disc? when you put this up against  'This Is War' or 'A Beautiful Lie' it sounds like a completely different band... i'm liking it mostly though, even with the big change

I'm a fan of the first 3 albums. I keep hoping they will go back to that arena rock style. I guess they have moved on though. It's good for what it is, and an improvement on the last album, America.
