KAWS Star Wars • Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper , by gordo on Jan 25, 2013 16:06:32 GMT 1, hmm... i will find out soon i guess...
and i also wondered why one would hand out tickets to people who obviously cant buy the item... on the other hand, many homeless dont look like homeless here... one thing is for sure, they are better prepared for a night outside^^
and i probably like boba so much that im going to keep him^^

KAWS Star Wars • Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper , by artoys on Jan 26, 2013 10:11:20 GMT 1, 26 january 2013 : kaws boba fett released @original fake - aoyama tokyo
All the pictures :
www.jumpjump.biz/2013/01/26-january-2013-kaws-boba-fett-released.html
What a crazy saturday in Tokyo. After a big night yesterday, I just woke up at 8.30, took the taxi with a friend (he was requested for this special day), and arrived at Original Fake in Aoyama at 8.50am. Quiet at the first look, but after being arrived in front of the shop, I saw the usuall by queue.
Problem, at the end of the road that is maybe 300 meters of more, the queue continued on the right. 300 meters later, the queue turned on the left, then on the right and to finish, one more time on the right. I had never seen that.
I got friend with a nice japanese guy, Yoggy. He told me the staff said there were about 1500 people queuing. So crazy !!! And only around 450 boba fett were sold. So there was the usuall lotery system (you take a ticket in a box), and if there s a time written on the ticket you can come back to the shop to buy the toy.
After 2 hours of queuing, I finally got in front of the shop, and took a ticket in a box : LOOSING ticket !!!!!!! (on the left). Fortunately, my requested friend got the Gold Ticket (on the right). It was number 3, that means I was in the first guys to get the Boba Fett !!!! I came back at the shop at 12.20 and could buy one toy.
Out of the shop, a chinese guy (flipper )was giving money to young guys and girls who got queuing and getting the toy for him.

I thought maybe they were the store, and they were selling them on ebay as they knew they could get more.

Very interesting! He/she pre-sold one to me for $525 and refunded me yesterday. I will send a message and see what happens. They have attempted to cancel the sale but I have not agreed yet on ebay. Updates to follow.......

You have no chance of forcing someone to sell something that they can simply state got damaged or was no longer available for whatever reason they fancy giving.
Ebay will just want to see that he refunded you, and he has, so end of story... Although I'll be interested to hear if it works out any other way !

He claims he is buying them off Ebay Japan and then selling them on the UK/US sites. He has offered to act as my agent and buy me one from Ebay Japan. Current price there is around 70 000 yen, which equates to £500 or so. I have declined! I have refused his attempt to cancel the transaction, will leave negative feedback and will report him to Ebay for not following through on the original sale. Hopefully the other pre-sellers will honour their transactions!
