Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by twinkle on Mar 2, 2012 17:44:11 GMT 1, March is 31 days long and they tell us on day 1 that there is no release. For once they are doing us a favour by stopping stupid queues and speculation, but IMO also indicating that the delay is a much longer one, otherwise in 31 days you'd hope Team Banksy could have applied a little glue and stupid glitter by hand.... I'd suggest Banksy has some promotional work to do, maybe even a show before making a release. the glitter thing sounds like an excuse to me. With the olympics on site in the summer I'd be very surprised if Hackney and surrounding areas aren't festooned with Street Art and shows. And, advising us of a release date well in advance is like asking for a Dale Farm sized camp on your front door. Never gonna happen dudes.... Where does it say it wont be released in March? In other news... the release of Banksy's glitter gorilla print this month has been postponed due to technical difficulties.Could easily have been due for release early March but now postponed to mid March / late March or whatever. Literal translation In other news... the release of Banksy's glitter gorilla print this MARCH has been postponed due to technical difficulties.[/

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by Deleted on Mar 2, 2012 18:10:21 GMT 1, I feel like we are being taken advantage of by P.O.W. Many of us are loyal customers that have purchased items from them for many years. Wouldn't it just be easier for them to say on their web site that the print is not ready as of 3/3/12 and it will be available on April 15th or some other specific date. I am sure they can resolve the their glitter problem in the next 45 days. I can understand this game be played by P.O.W with some of their other artists that are still trying to establish themselves and create some marketing hype - but Banksy would sell out immediately no matter what he offers for sale. Some of you guys are willing to sleep outside for days for this print, the least they can do is have a little courtesy towards the real Banksy fans out there.
Agree with this 100% and Wear's nailed it. It's totally discourteous to the people who've patronised POW for years and years not to give a little more clarity.
There is no need for 'hype' and to build a head of steam.
Why not say, this is what we're doing, this is how we are doing it etc etc etc.
One correction tho' - people aren't willing to sleep outside for days on end for the print. They're willing to sleep outside for the money - if the secondary market only offered cost (or less) back then I strongly suspect there would be less interest.

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by twist65 on Mar 2, 2012 18:53:00 GMT 1, yeah, chances are there's drip-feeding for hype purposes at work here, but it is equally possible that they do have printing-related or other issues (ie Banksy doesn't like them). If thats the case these issues might still be being sorted out with no idea when the prints might be released.
No point saying "its coming out July now" or something if they can't 100% guarantee it

I might be the only one but my guess is POW is telling the truth. The glitter isn't holding as expected so they are redoing them.

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by kevkevkev on Mar 3, 2012 11:33:47 GMT 1, i've lost track of the amount of mondo posters i own with metallic ink from D&L printing. if americans can do that sort of thing for $30 then i'm sure the wizards at pow can work something out.
note to POW.
when you DO release it, only let people already on the mailing list queue up to buy it. this would no doubt wipe out the dad with 4 kids or the loads mates that join the queue late at night.

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by Deleted on Mar 13, 2012 12:51:15 GMT 1, Been dying to and my two pence to this thread but was waiting for my forum account to be approved....
First things first. I love a good queue! I was secoond in line for NBG which i think amounted to approx 2 days unti the doors were opened and i got my print. Its not the first time i've done it either. The Walker LTS was another that springs to mind. Everyone bangs on about how people must be 'mad' and 'enjoy the cold'. As far as i'm concerned this could be further from the truth.
I had an awesome time at NBG. I met loads of forum members got pissed on JD both nights and ate my body weight in Dominos pizza. It was kinda similiar to a festival atmosphere (without the music) Even the albanian mafia in the queue offered entertainment in the form of attempting to know what they were talking about. And guess what at the end i got an awesome piece of art! What could be better?!
Lets face it for many of us a queue is gonna be the only chance of getting this print and i pray that this will be the modus operandi for the release as after all its the only chance i will have of getting one.
VOTE QUEUE!
