If I'm gonna travel hours to go to a show I'd expect the shit to actually be available for purchase if I'm there early enough or pull a good line number or whatever. Lots of places do this. TAG used to before they had their new place on Melrose(and I never used to go to TAG openings). Rotofugi and Dragatomi both do it. They do make acceptions though, and this show should be 1 of those acceptions. The best example is when Rotofugi has a Gargamel show, or their Toy Karma show. They know stuff will be high demand so they give a first shot to locals. All this said, I think a brick and mortar shop should always give locals first shot at gallery shows. All these toys will sell, it's just the preference to sell them before the show or not...it's kinda shitty. If you're not going for a Nag, skip the opening. Let Clutter know that it isn't worth going to because all the stuff you want is already sold.

 Re: "Monsters From The Island" group show in NYC March 9 201
just seems like a strange way of selling show pieces to me.. plus its alot harder to get your lady to go to an event.. "you say you already bought the stuff you want online..and now you want me to drive a couple hours to hang out with toy nerds and talk about a fuckin boryoku genjin?!"

^ What's funny is it looked weird and wrong. So I searched it, saw it wasn't misspelled and accepted it for what it was.

Yes it is a very odd way of holding a show.. That is why everything is gonna be available To attendees FIRST.

Closer to me than I thought. I'll try to swing by too.
I just assumed it was in Brooklyn like most things, but I was thinking about the CCM at the time.

Any previews from the other artists? This show is going to be fantastic. Good luck to all that attend.

 Re: "Monsters From The Island" group show in NYC March 9 201
Unless they have already removed "sold" items the preview is pretty lackluster, mostly grody and velictron, only one of the 3 buff customs, and that kaiju negora painting.
Look forward to seeing pics of the show later, plus ill probably pickup the exhibit catalog.

LOL at holding this show in NY (even Buttfuck NY) . . . might as well just toss 'em on eBay and cut out the middleman!

Guys, a world exists beyond Nags. As hard as that is to believe sometimes around here. And, because it seems no one here gives a pile of Dun_ys about anything anymore: brianflynn wrote: 10. Please don't post lottery links, it only causes problems. Let people find them on their own.

If you're a Clutter gallery subscriber, online buying for what's left started a short bit ago
