Just saw the pics earlier this morning of that and the other colorway. It's hideous, but will sell out and be flipped for tons of dough, no doubt.
ehhhhh. I think if i had the chance to lip it and know 100% I would make money on it, I would get it then.
I wouldn't say I don't have qualms about it, it's just the nature of that particular beast. Especially with any JLED crap -- That will no doubt get high markups based on name alone.
Oh, I myself would totally buy one to trade or sell if it didn't require any effort. I just think it's interesting how we won't do this with the stuff we collect on this board, but when it comes to stuff people collect on "that other board" it's open season. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't feel like putting in the time/effort to get Jled crap to support my own collecting.
Wouldn't buying this thing just because it's an easy flip regardless of how it looks just incourages more pieces like this in the future? As a creator I'm not sure if that would make me happy. I mean I would have made money sure but hollow at the same time. I think I respect Jled too much as an artist to do that. Just my two centavos
Vaguely reminds me of the "pushme-pullyou" double-headed llama thing from the original Dr. Doolittle movie, in concept. Execution of concept is another matter, ahem. Pogue nailed the problem with this thing succinctly. Not only does it not "work" as a collaboration, it also fails to showcase anything distinctive or attractive about either contributor. There's an uncharacteristic general lack of enthusiasm for it over at the KR SDCC forum. That says something.
what the fuck is that thing? western or Japanese or HK....doesn't matter...... my eyes are burning!!! ack!!! ***shivers*****
Is that the actual piece? If so, it's got to be the shoddiest looking thing I've seen in a long time.
