Yeah picture being with a nine year old saying I have poop on my hand half the day :roll:

The Flipper question is kind of tough. I would say there were at least 15 homeless mofos, but there's a Bape store a block down and I think they had their entire family roll through the line. So I'm sure they are flipping also just weren't as easy to spot as the homeless. Also there were some older ladies that I'm sure won't be displaying the figure in their houses??

Yeah I'll be taking him out of the box soon enough, but he is so damn big I'll need to make some room first.
18,000 yen RETAIL!!

But there is so much more involved than just walking over and picking one up, in my opinion. Not $400 more involved, but you get the idea.
Yeah my wife was going to kill me for keeping him out of school and getting him up at 4:30 AM for this. That isn't child abuse is it??

yeah the flipper thing is nuts.

a lot of scalpers here pay homeless people to stand in line to buy show tickets. it's just bad on all fronts.

congrats on getting the figure! :D

Legend has it for the toy Festivals they have'em line up a couple days in advance. We thought of hiring the homeless as sherpas at SDCC. Looks like Ramos and Flynn are trying the idea out by taking Pogue with them to Japan. :D

Thanks for the pictures. This might be as close as I get to a Dissected. The artwork on the box alone is awesome. And I'm sure you son will remember this day for ever. I still remember my dad taking me out on my seventh birthday to get a Baron Karza. Good times...

Is there any chance of a US release?


After getting a KAwsxBxH and all the new stuff from Super 7 coming out I can't swing 2nd hand price for one right now.
