I would rather pay in american dollars than pay the conversion plus shipping from Japan right now, so I think its cool but I hear what your sayin loud and clear.
I believe this is where "exclusive" comes in. To us its exclusive through the usual, japan is completely different as we cannot order from them.
its usually posted, i didn't try, but they have not sold any pushead releases to the US for the last couple years AFAIR.
Wow didnt know that. If I remember correctly they were selling the SDCC '08 pirate and captain overseas. I figured if it wasnt posted it was all good.
With economies right now looks like they are letting everyone in to the cool kid club. I couldn't be happier about it either. Also the last SB order I got they sent me a TON of free goodies, seems like they know during a recession the best thing to do is come out with strong pieces and please their fan base, can't really complain about that. Lets face it, anyone still supporting SB right now deserves the right to purchase any figure as much as anyone else, even if its a bonus figure that others got for free if you want to spend money on it why should you not be able too? The passers through aren't going to be spending their hard to come by cash (even credit at the moment) on vinyl anyway.
Agreed, this isn't your run of the mill Pirate. New design, sick new back print and awesome colorworks. I love that the tail has a yellow spray on the tip also. It's one of the best looking Pirates to date IMO.
I'm more fond of the FHP pirates but this one right here is the business. Love the colors on this pirate and the bottle is a great addition. Makes me wonder if we'll see some pirates with amputee arms as well. I got my pirate yesterday and was able to take pictures of it. The gold has a nice sheen.
New FHP Captain on the way Did anyone score the Discharge Tee?? Got me one, they are so nice and soft and very high quality street wear.
I stand corrected . . . I won't repeat the image but that's a killer pic of the fugly dude . . . now looking forward to checking it out 'in the flesh'! 'Discharge' . . . 'nice' . . . 'soft' . . . 'quality' . . . is this what Punk's become?
I actually though about not posting that, but your right. Street wear has become designer street wear. Sucks but time always brings change. The shirt rules though. I dig discharge printing because the design will always be there and worst it can do is fade a little. Better than those cracks in my Minor Threat screen printed Tee.
I'm only yankin' yer chain . . . but looking back on the DIY fashion wearing, glue sniffing, phlegm spitting, squat dwellers of a bygone age, Punk seems to have mellowed over the last 30 years.
