Actually this is the best price.
Toontrack SDX Value Pack – Thomann United States (thomannmusic.com)
$289 for three serials, yes it's 'expensive' but it comes out to $96.333333333333 per SDX

And the serials can be used at any time, not just at purchase.

It sounds very good. Unfortunately I am heavily invested in so many other drum libraries.

Apparently both XLN and UJAM's idea of "hit" is Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper.

Those smacking snares...

Correct.  Yes, I should have said the best price to purchase it individually.

I am very tempted by this. The Padgham kit I have for BFD is OK, but...

The Thomann price is £140 in the UK due to VAT.  I may wait but new SDX don't go on sale for ages after release.

Wow, that's only ~£8 discount off the list price. VAT is a killer.

The SDX Value Pak on Thomann.fr is 349 €. When I go to their U.S. site, it's $289. The site isn't (at the moment), forcing me to the European site (.de/fr). I may try to buy it via my U.S. PayPal account and see if they force me to euros and VAT. Later today.

I got it on Thomann site for $133 USD yesterday.    

Very good release, I also have the Hugh Padgham Sonic Reality Kit for BFD, but this is a whole different level of quality and flexibility.    Never really used the BFD one a lot but will definitely use this Toontrack version.   It covers many different 80's and 90's styles and has a unique way of using the drum machines, which are also included.   I have Spark2 by Arturia that are really good copies of the originals drum machines, however, interesting to see Hugh's method of also recording the drum machines live in studio where the drum kits were also recorded.      Gives a very polished sounds with little effort.

Yeah 133usd.. wth.. 

[Vernon Barnes]

Well, I went for it at the UK price, there may have been a way to avoid giving HMRC their 20% but it wasn't obvious to me.

I really like what I have heard so far. Of all the TR808 samples I have littering my hard drives the ones here are the only ones I really like.
