 Re: KAWS Stormtrooper
its already on the shelves @ of. looks a little bid strange imo, not as glossy as expected, wavy surface of head looked like a proto to me. still god enough to line up and get @ retail, but doesnt seem to match quality of vader on first sight.

Unless they only have so many lottery tickets.

 Re: KAWS Stormtrooper
It would be sad if the first person in line doesn't get one.

 Re: KAWS Stormtrooper
no, you're guaranteed one until they run out of tickets (you just make a draw for what time to come back). i know first hand... when i made my trip to japan, I was so excited that the mono dissected was released when I was there... then i got lost and when i finally found OF, the 3rd person in front of me got the last ticket. so i was assed out and wasn't even allowed to browse the store that day

The OF staff usually just handout the ticket. The line this morning is the longest i have seen for a while for a Kaws release. You did have to draw for a ticket from a lottery box. That said, it seems that chances are still pretty good overall.

 Re: KAWS Stormtrooper
I really like the line art of the figure. I actually think the head translated better on the drawing than the actual figure. I still love it but I can now see what people are saying.
