thats a lot. Something tells me that charging $80 for a tee will allow for more than a 5% profit.  The $700 prints don't hurt either.

Give us background, what happened.. yeah they just copy and pasted the photoshopped photo as the new promo photo. I dropped hypebeast a message saying they should probably do some sort of check before just reposting info.

still didn’t get the concept of this piece
when dissected stuff was all around.
looks like brian was inspired by hirsts dissected bronze a lot.
not only he cut 5YL companions. 
but also did the accomplice "sticker" as a bronze.
…this must be real pop art!

From just seeing pictures I never really thought I would like them as much. But now I got the original and mono dissected and am thrilled with them.
I don't like the black/color, though (original color is still the best for me, the mono looks good next to it, but less so alone).
I will save the money for the black and try to acquire a 5YL - I think I need one undissected one to keep the dissected company

the site says they are checking ID's at OF from now on to deter flipping. Can I get a picture of a companion tilting at windmills please.

they should have credits on that card to say how many flip points he has earned, so they get an upgrade cardboard box with installed internet access so they can sell straight away on YJA.

FYI, this is up at Tokyocube; however, it's going for the equivalent of $360+ US (before shipping). Not much better than the bay -- which, by the way, appears to be flooded with them already.
